@Leo Gura calibrates at 185. https://consciousnesscalibrations.com/leo-gura/ "Note on spiritual teachers Spiritual teachers often have high energy corresponding to high beliefs. With this self-esteem, they are charismatic. They may even be psychic, or a conduit for miracles, but these are functions of energy, only, and not indicative of a level of consciousness, as consciousness is not set by belief. Likewise, a teacher may present and expound upon what is actually beyond himself, beyond his holistic evolution. If so, his teachings are theoretical and appeal to the intellect, compelling and satisfying though the ideas may be. The mind loves theory, but consciousness is not set by mentalization. The all-dimensions calibration indicates the average level of a teacher's integration of his own teachings. It is his or her evolution in all-dimensions, or chakras, from the crown to the root. Some teachers are advanced in the heart or the third-eye or the thymus (which is the seat of psychic powers), while others may be oriented strongly to the solar plexus and success in this world. The all-dimensions calibration considers all of these holistically. A teacher may be far progressed in one dimension, but this can be offset by lack of progress in other dimensions. If so, there is imbalance, impracticability, or lack of refinement in their wisdom, which incurs a lower overall calibration result." If I remember my occult psychology correctly, the superconscious is accessed through the subconscious. Kinesiology would adhere to this occult law.

Something that popped into my mind recently while studying the I Ching... Stage 1 of Spiral Dynamics appears to resemble a 6-line hexagram pattern, Stage 2 the beginnings of a new or higher hexagram. Line Descriptions [from ichingonline.com]: "In a hexagram, the first, third and fifth lines are considered to be superior strong positions representing the light. The second, fourth and sixth lines are inferior, weak positions representing the dark. The bottom and top lines depict what is outside of the situation. The lowest line is considered inferior in influence since it is only beginning to interact with circumstances. The top line is considered to be of superior influence. It is the line of the wise man that has given up his worldly ambitions, and is about to leave the situation. It is the conclusion. The sixth line, the top line, will also often describe the outcome of the situation, if the proper path is not followed. The second and fourth lines from the bottom represent administrators, women or sons. The fourth line being closer to the usual ruling line in the fifth position is regarded as superior to the second line. Because of its central position in the lower trigram, the second line has a close connection to the ruling fifth line, which holds the same position in the upper trigram. The third and fifth lines are positions of authority and influence. The fifth line is usually regarded as the ruling line while the third line, being the top of the lower trigram, is considered the leaded (leader?) of the masses."

@aurum No I did not write this. The difference to ACIM is that Steps to Knowledge doesn't have the dangerous and debilitating New Age trap of accepting the world of form and action as unimportant, and it is universal, not based on Christian mythos, as well as being far more succinct. Just finished the Steps myself, certainly life changing.

Steps to Knowledge The Book of Inner Knowing Steps to Knowledge is the Book of Inner Knowing. Its one-year study plan, which is divided into 365 “steps,” or lessons, is designed to enable students to learn to experience and to apply their Self-Knowledge, or Spiritual Power, in the world.

You came into the world with the Knowledge of who you are, who you must meet and what you must accomplish. It is time to find this Knowledge and begin to live it. Take the Steps to Knowledge

Any Steiner experts care to expand on this whopper?

Deep Purple - cracking overview of the early development of the human mind if you can stomach the occult angle.

About the 10 minute mark. To vaguely summarise, Steiner posits the concept that followers of Teotl were black magicians who gained power through murderous rituals (classic Aztec slice 'n dice). The Ahrimanic impulse behind it was to try to transmute the collective consciousness into a mechanised *slave culture?* Something like that... watch the whole thing for context on x2 speed then!

I'm close to finishing off 'The Law of One' series of books. Wow. Why have a human teacher/guru when you can have one from a higher dimension? Scott Mandelker's podcast & commentaries on LOO / Buddhism / Taoism are very eloquent explanations of the interweaving concepts, I highly recommend. https://thelawofonepodcast.blogspot.com/

@Aquarius here's an idea for you. Create a tarot deck. Solidify your knowledge of archetypes in a highly artistic way.

Peter Russell @Leo Gura Why was the turquoise video removed from YouTube? Do you have any plans to re-upload? One of the best

It's back up!

Shunyamurti = Gandalf / Morpheus Seriously though, just came across him, amazing insights!

The Truman Show

Another YouTube documentary movie I watched recently.

The filmmaker does a fantastic job of explaining enlightenment in a clear manner.
