I have a friend who used to be very strongly involved with Pentecostal Christian churches, he had mystical experiences such as speaking in tongues and some powerful trance states when worshiping God during that time. Since then he has transitioned to stage green and done psychedelics and many forms of spiritual practice quite seriously. I asked him about his past mystical experiences as a Pentecostal Christian and he said he still holds them as very valid. He says he can still access those states like speaking in tongues and he can have a powerful connection with God, he just doesn't do it from a purely Christian framework anymore.

I love his waking up app, been using it daily for a year now.. He has a way of explaining things that resonates with me and the meditations have helped me experientally understand what is meant by nonduality. I see a lot off black and white thinking here, why does it have to be either "Sam bad" or "Sam good", we can take the useful stuff and leave the rest out that doesn't resonate. We really only feel the need to defend some teacher if we identify ourselves with them or attack them if we feel they threaten our identity . Just bounce around the ideas loosely, there is a seed of truth in everything

It's another way of projecting our fear outwards. Now billions of people are inside, stuck with facing all their shadow material maybe for the first time in their lives. There's a limited amount of escapes, so a great way is to create yet another "them" who we can project the fear/anger/sadness/hate onto that we are incapable of facing within ourselves. I have no idea if David's ideas are grounded in reality or not, but it's easy to see that most of the people jumping on board the conspiracy train are just escaping the pain inside and projecting it out. That's never healthy.. Edit: also we should remain conscious about the possibility of a new form of order being created in the process of stabilizing this chaos. That state of order could be created less democratically than previous forms and it could be used as an opportunity to increase the grip on citizens. It's good to be aware of that but it does more damage than good if we choose to close our minds around that idea, it can easily become just another mind virus.

Finally some stage yellow tv!! Love it!

He has some solid insight into how the economy works and how it's driven by human behavior. But this guy is something else, solid stage yellow business and life advice. I also recommend checking out his Joe Rogan interview

Why the insistence on shoving it up the ass? Wouldn't just eating it with a MAOI (aka. Pharmahuasca) produce the desired effects here?

@Leo Gura Just checking if it's still ok to be critical at times on this forum? If not I will leave as it will eventually turn in to either an echo chamber or an ideology where no more growth will happen. There's too many of those on the internet already. What attracted me to this forum is the lack of cultish behavior while still having lots of high quality content and discussion. Of course it's a fine balance and it is understandable if it does shift towards more control, as online communities usually tend to do when the moderators get fed up with the low quality posts. Unfortunately, a more sensitive ban hammer often results in the deterioration of the quality of any online group from what I have seen even though the purpose is pure.. If you happen to read this far, there is one solution to this problem I have seen. The absolute highest quality online communities always have this implemented: Make it more difficult to enter the forum. Ask some basic questions about the content and the intentions of people who join. Ask about how serious they are, how much they do the work. Quite effective in weeding out most of the trolls.

@Hardkill Apparently Owen has/had aspergers as well. You can choose not to be a victim of your condition.

@see_on_see Every skill you have, has been developed at some point. Of course when we begin building a new skill it feels inauthentic. But through mastery of that skill it becomes a part of us and becomes who we are. Being authentic is not about staying safely where we are, it's about following that call to adventure that comes from deep within, going beyond our current comfort zones. That's where all growth happens. Sure, if you suddenly become hyper confident you won't need game. But that's not because you don't do game, the principles of attraction still apply, you're just doing it maybe even without you noticing it. Most people have to build this skillset by practicing, facing our fears and becoming grounded in our sexuality. Eventually it become's who we are and it doesn't feel any more inauthentic than brushing our teeth.

Leo, you do realize it's possible that some stage blue mobs find your videos and start attacking you online and this forum? Someone could quite easily convince them that you are Satan himself leading people to hell and they must do everything they can to take you down. I guess it doesn't really matter, this is your life work and if it means sacrificing everything it's worth it to you? I am glad we have the internet, this content can't ever be removed no matter what anyone says, these ideas are here to stay.

Just had a major insight into this whole game thing. We need to adjust our game based on what spiral stage the girls are on! Stage orange game works in the U.S because most club girls are very stage orange. Stage Green game works really well in Berlin clubs because almost all the girls are strongly stage green. This is why the rsd stage orange pickup advice works so badly also here in Finland, most of the girls are stage green I have personally tested this by going into more stage orange hip hop style clubs here and guess what? Stage orange game works really well there! It does not work very well in clubs where typical Finnish (stage green) girls go. I think this is why @Leo Gura is not giving stage green or above game advice here, it simply wouldn't bring results if applied to stage orange girls! Look into what a stage orange person values and you will see exactly why the more traditional (stage orange) pickup principles work on them!

This is where an integrated stage red/purple is very important. Learn to draw your boundaries and don't let anyone step inside them or break them. If someone breaks your boundaries, warn them and if they keep pushing you should push back. I mean verbally or even physically fight back. This is the most loving thing you can do towards yourself. If you're in prison and a stage red gang is harrasing you, you don't just avoid them. That's how you get raped and treated like compelete human trash. You speak their language, you confront them at the level they're at. If a stage green hippy who hasn't integrated stage red gets bullied, he will just be passive and stage red people WILL take advantage of that for their own gain. We should keep in mind how important these first stages are as well, not just trying to run up the spiral as fast as possible. Many of us (including myself) haven't completely integrated stage red for example, and that's partly why we've been pushed around and bullied by red people.

@Farnaby Check out Metta meditation, you will learn to cultivate that feeling of love within you. You begin by feeling love towards things that you already love (conditionally). Then you can expand that love to eventually include everything in the universe, including your worst enemies and all the things you hate about yourself (unconditional). "May all beings be happy" is a great mantra to bring about that state of absolute loving acceptance, at least for me. But you have to do it very sincerely. Realize that deep down you really want EVERYONE to be happy, realize it and see how you feel. If that's too difficult at first, imagine everybody you know, also people you hate going through extreme suffering. Horrible diseases, cancer, aids, chemical burns, extreme depression, suicide etc. Now it should be much easier to feel the compassion, then just expand it to include more people, including yourself. Imagine yourself comforting yourself, hugging yourself for going through so much unnecessary suffering. Hope this helps mate

So this morning I had some kind of sleep paralysis experience. I woke up very early for some reason and decided to do some body awareness exercises and relaxing my body to maybe fall back asleep. When I finally started falling asleep again, I suddenly found myself stuck in some state between sleep and wakefulness. I was filled with absolute terror as I heard someone moving around in my room. I was absolutely convinced that some man was in my room and he was just about to kill me. I couldn't really move my body and I felt the man walking behind my back in my room. This felt like absolute true reality, not at all like a dream. As I was being filled with this powerful fear of death I remembered some of the advice I had been given in regards to psychedelic trips and Leo's videos on Death. I just said "fuck it" and decided to compeltely let go and dive in to the terror and let the man kill me. I just trusted what I had learned about death and what happened was truly magical.. Immediately after giving up the struggle, I was filled with this powerful sense of bliss. It was similiar to the the deepest peace I have ever experienced through meditation. Everything kind of dissolved into this white light of pure being and all of the fear immediately vanished. In an instant, I was no longer afraid, everything was perfect and at peace. After this I quickly woke up to my everyday consciousness. This experience gave me a powerful insight into death and I realized these nondual teachers are right. There's nothing to fear except fear itself. Once we give in to the fear, no matter how terrifying it is, we will be released from all the suffering and it will lose all of its power.

Genghis Khan was arguably one of the fiercest warlords to ever live. He raped and pillaged his way through Eurasia, but also paved the way for Blue to eventually emerge.

There's no official right answer to this question that someone can just hand out. This forum is just a collective of people who are all on different stages. Try to analyze different posts yourself and maybe that way you can understand spiral dynamics better. You can analyze it at the content level, what is the content like that people post here? But you can also analyze it at the structural level, how is this forum set up as a system to enable fruitful conversation?

Nothing really beats 1on1 contact with serious emotional troubles. Professionals can provide you with something to lean on and someone you can trust. Self-help is best left for when things are more stable. I truly wish you make it through these struggles. God speed my friend ❤

People don't primarily have kids so they can spread their genes. If they would, the sperm banks would be lined up with men to spread their genes everywhere as much as possible. People have kids to experience love and meaning. The children can open up their heart valves and let them feel the deeply fulfilling love that they crave. That's what relationships are about as well, they allow us to bring the love in and bathe in the love. We are all like love addicts, constantly searching for a new hit of that delicious love. What we don't realize is that there is an infinite spring of love within all of us if we just open up to it. So we keep chasing these external things that allow us to open up to love without ever turning inward. Having kids is just another method to feel some love.. If we were to consciously have children from a place of already abundant love, it would be a radically different experience for everyone involved than the traditional way of having kids to feed our own need for love.

Radical Love is loving them despite all what you said. A very big part in embodying yellow is to be able to understand people on different stages without getting triggered by them. Understand where they're coming from and realize that if you were in the same exact position they're in, you would think exactly like they're thinking. If I'm being honest I got the vibe that you somehow think you're better than them because you see yourself as "higher up" the spiral. That's a major mistake. You are not any better than them if you have more "developed" values. They can't help thinking the way they do and when you fully realize that you can have nothing but compassion for them. And this is not the pity kind of compassion, but true compassion where you accept them the way they are right now and don't require them to change for you to accept them. So maybe this is something to consider.

You are consciousness aka. God doing whatever the fuck it wants. Things are just happening. Life happens on it's own, whether "you" think you're somehow doing things or not.

It's quite advanced in many areas, there are some policies that have been implemented there that are even more green than what you would find here in the Nordic countries.

You can completely ethically and sustainably trade value and gain money. So yes, it's possible to consciously become a billionaire. It's just not very common because the market mostly does not care about ethics, so the ones at the top can take shortcuts with unsustainable practises and hurting people.
