@nistake Is this the Guru that talks a bit about the Armageddon?

Can we take a minute to appreciate the thumbnail image?

@Strangeloop Why does sharing each other's work help with growth? Wouldn't that cloud our unique individual more?

@Manusia Sounds similar to the haunting I had in my childhood.

This theead really has taken a life of its own lol.

@BlackPhil Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll look into that source for later research.

@Zigzag Idiot Your welcome. What originally motivated me in starting this thread was also a few times here that talked about paranormal events as well, and the juxtaposition between the haunting in my childhood, and encountering Crysty as a positive entity, so I felt I needed to share.

@Globalcollective I can't speak to the specific context, but I will point to what's outside the context. The real issue is not to prevent a war between stage orange and green, but not being able to see the situation for what it is - a necessary side effect of the transormational dilemma. In this case, due to the pandemic and the economic, political and societal changes in response to a highly contagious virus with a lethality that surpasses a flu, stores and businesses must undergo a change to adapt to the change in circumstances. Using ken wilbur's integral theory, we could also say that the new manager just differs not in value, but in how he/she is cognitively compared to the employees. The manager is more knowledgeable and sensitive to preventing Covid cases in the well being centre. The manager may have mild schizophrenia, or type 1 bipolar disorder, or mild OCD, or psychopathy, which generates cognition that does differ from your employees cognition, while the traits might be maladaptive, in context they can be adaptive. He might be germ phobic already, so this situation has made that worse. Also, the manager might have a different moral system compared to you, might very well be partially at stage green, but does not value humanitarianism, environmentalism and wellfare, animal or human, or have new age or hippy biases or political left leaning biases as you or your colleagues, equally as you all do. If they truly are a solid stage orange, they wouldn't be working there, the difference in values would be too great to reconcile. Well being centres are not typically solid orange individuals work places. Another factor is state of consciousness. The manager might have done so much managerial work, and value professionalism to a habbit that he could slip into that role and enter auto pilot frim there. Maybe the person is so robotic and in a trance that your state of consciousness and others, picks up on the manager's state, and doesn't feel in alignment. Or a fear of germs is already there, and that negative state is felt around the coworkers. Another factor is domains of life development, both broadly and technically. Maybe they have deeper skillset of being a manager, or a businessman, or are better at being rational than others. Maybe you are not used to the new managers style and way of managing, and miss the old manager aleady. Maybe you are in a grieving cycle for the old manager. Maybe your personality and new manager's personality mesh differently. Maybe the manager was a more solid green in the past, but regressed to orange thanks to the changes in the current world and survival challenges. Maybe they had gone through the transformational dilemma from stage blue to orange and are just challenging himself by working in a typical stage green environment. I can't provide specific advice for your situation in particular, other than self reflect deeply about this, and see if you spot any cognitive dissonance I might have triggered about the manager. The mind likes to generalize and distort information, so it makes it less obvious the suffering it starts and sustains tracks back to itself, with it's faulty viewing. Instead of thinking about this as some war between stage orange to green, it's more part of the process. It's almost silly to think that, kjnda like thinking that steps on a staircase are fighting each other.

@Seed It all depends. Is your addiction to alcohol a compulsive behavior? (compulsive means it's really hard to not quit that behavior). If it's not compulsive, and you are disciplined enough to regulate your alcohol consumption, and you still think/feel guilty, then I'd contemplate that feeling of guilt. It's better to find a balance for yourself with your wine. Don't drink too much you put your health at risk, but don't suppress the drinking like a religious person suppresses masturbation. If it's occasional, let yourself enjoy the wine.

@Scholar To be clear again, for the final time, I don't want to debate you, nor continue discussing, so please disengage yourself from me, and moderate yourself thank you very much.

@ZenSwift Lol thanks for that. Maybe this part of the sub-forum isn't for you, but please do keep an open mind to this, just in case if this happens. It always lessens the shock and helps process whatever paranormal event that occurred. Less denial as well. Nice green eye pic.

@Scholar Because that is the truth, relative to how limited the communication is through texting. Nope, you just conflated the essance of high consciousness for total external factors, when it is part of the development process and integration. But please continue rationalizing me into a rubric, when we should be developing, integrating and finding peace with the world and people, no matter how imperfect they are, and not judging them for their positions...like you are projecting to me at the moment. However, I will cease this interaction with you, as it is unproductive. Bye.

@Scholar I've taken your logic to the extreme to show you something of it, but that's fine. Some people need to develop slower than others. gl with your life.

I think the deeper ussue is people haven't got used to wearing masks, and dealing with isolation, and conflating vaccination as violation of libertarian freedom.

@Strangeloop Why do we need to share our youtube channels?

@Scholar By your logic, if I care about people, I should consume other people, because guess what predatory animals eat sometimes, a human they ambushed successfully, and guess what plants and fungi consume? Remains of dead organisms too, including a buried body of a human. Therefore, when there's not much plants and animals, and too many humans, I should eat them because I care about them and am a humanitarian, and because that's the situation of the world. That's your logic. That's the real cringe. Please develop your cognition, morality, values system and get a diversity of life experiences first to my level, before demonising me, because it is clear I am more developed than you, thank you very much.

No matter how much anyone tries to resist change, cultures will develop to higher stages, even if it means humanity undergoes trans humanism.

@Willie That's an acceptable enougb source of information for the forum.

This article about it came up. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/aug/31/bob-ross-documentary-netflix-joshua-rofe

@Blackhawk Update: After entering a deep state of meditation, I was able to visualise the spot where she would stand, on one spot in the backyard. I took one of my old phone to record the spot she was standing on, and a series of things happened: she flickered a few times, phasing from that spot to disappearing. The speed increased suddenly, and a light flickered on where her feet were, and the camera malfunctioned and died out. I couldn't get it to work again and loet the footage.

@kamwalker One of the few best ways it might change your life, is when you come down from it, start studying and applying NLP, address your self image, how you represent your time, do positive affirmations/visualizations, start becoming more positive. Before, it might've been a grind as you haven't used your mind like this, but after awakening, it gives you the biggest picture possible to feel inspired enough to be ok in designing who you want to be, and what you want to do, for the renainder of your time in earth, no matter how grindy it gets.

@asifarahim I see, it makes sense.

LOL!

@impulse9 That's fine. Just from your reply, I know that in terms of mindfulness and observation, I am leagues above you. Don't take this as an insult, it is just the difference in psychological, spiritual development and life experiences. I hope you find peace with not just the suffering of animals, but of plants, and be able to understand, from mind to becoming/being level, why they do it, and integrate them. They need some love too. Peace.

@impulse9 That is it. The feeling I get from seeing the lawn cut, the sound of it buzzing, when I operated the machine decades ago when I had grass on the backward to do, the internal images of grass filling the bag. The emotions intitially are a mix of boredom to relief. The same when I had the opportunity to see what they did to pigs in slaughter houses, and see what butchers did to process the pig meats. Yes, the initial differenses of seeing, hearing, feeling externally and internally are different with that of cutting the grass. However, did you know that by carefully contemplating and observation, that I realized both are similar to each other, and have the same common denominator, that a human being, existing as the higher hierarchy of evolution, isthe common factor in inflicting suffering and destruction to animals and plants alike. The need to create crop fields, that cut down forests and wildlife plants, to facilitate raising of pigs and cows to provide meat produce, is the same need to create space to manufacture consumer friendly veggies, by cutting down forests. Same common denominator. I speak from direct experiences of both. Also, most people can't do this as it does require you to be able to maintain mindfulness and observation for long time periods. Can you sit, or stand, or still be in the same area as the slaughter taking place, while being mindful of thoughts and feelings in you, and note shadow parts that need intergrating? Can you place and maintain focus? Can you treat both situations with equanimity, internally in your mind? Can you be at peace with both, wether or not the situation does or doesn't change?
