@Jacob Morres You weren't the first one to derail the thread, it's the other user.

@alpha_ulrich Probably delirients. Maybe go find a thread discussing hallucinatory plants.

This is decent advice too.

Semi realism of Alien.

Available on Netflix. About less than an hour long.

@something_else From my observations this is the case with most threads anyway, and I'm getting better at seeing who's here to derail, or here to give advice.

I've done enough clubbing myself, but the majority was just myself with occasionally going with friends. Rarely will I get denied entry, or get some kind of confrontation inside, as I'm on top of that area. The main objective is always to try some drinks, and dance a bit to the music. Cold approaching or even small talk is back of my mind, I'm there to enjoy what the club can offer me, and forget about myself for a bit. I don't care much about other people around me. If at any point, I have to leave, I leave, or if somebody is picking me, I meet him on the eyes. I'm ultimately doing this to forget who I am, or what I was, before entering the club. It's a learning experience either way, which makes it GOOD, always.

It's a recurring problem in this forum. A user starts a thread, the thread stays on topic for 1-2 pages tops, then it gets derailed, still relevent to what the thread is about. Then, for every page, or every reply onwards, it gets further derailed, until it is entirely different from the original context...

Maybe live streaming abstract painting?

@Flowerfaeiry No, if it's a gut feeling, a tingling, or a quick emotional knowing, a knowing from a dream, or any psychic sensation. Other than that, the ego mind can say that too, mostly voice. I'm doing a spiritual practice that specifically goes into imagination of other beings and locations, and what I found so far is that there are layers of deception that need to be bypassed to say that others are your imagination. You can also actively walk around thinking about this too, like many other thoughts during the day.

@Tim R A recurring theme when it comes to podcasts lately.

@SaWaSaurus Oh, so joking doesn't mean it's serious then? Does dark humor count?

Oh, did they do a Q&A from the youtube comments as well?

Why would you be high while watching a video? It's not like a 3 or so hour of meditative music, but an individual who worked for years for the insights and distilled it down to a 3 hour video. At least being sober you can take notes and self observe.

@SQAAD It's a pretty weird video though. Too much emphasis on vagina.

@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.
