  1. @Hardkill True.. I've never been
  2. @Leo Gura What about with combined incentive of having chosen jazz piano as an LP? and the fact that I don't have a killer job and the other top jazz cities (chicago and NYC) although i'm sure killer killer pick up cities but...expensive as shit...
  3. What about New Orleans? 1.2 million metro population and 18.5 visitors in 2018.
  4. I'm hoping to gain a better understanding of"the obsessive" and "the hack" from the book Mastery and also mentioned in the LP course. Is it accurate to say that the obsessive and the hack are two sides of the same coin as in the hack being overly-satisfied with little progress at some point and then slowing down learning/pressure and the obsessive being not satisfied with any apparent results during a plateau so continually applying more pressure? So we are aiming for a middle ground, like a consistent level of pressure through a plateau and growth spurt? I'm sorry if this isn't a very clear question. Just confirming I understand these traps so that I can sleep easy lol @Leo Gura , anyone
  5. And what I'm thinking is these two archetypes would be Clarity, the second enemy of Learning from Don Juan "and he'll rush when he should be patient and he'll be patient when he should rush"....I kind of have a thought form around the enemies of knowledge from Don Juan so if this is what is meant that might help me with some magical thinking issues around that idea from that book lol I'm always like what the fuck is clarity and what the fuck is true power its always bugged me.
  6. Obviously there is Actualized.org which is excellent, then there is the booklist which I have and I have several of the books on that list which is great.I hear Leo talking about modernism, post-modernism etc. and with trying to move toward systems thinking it seems like history is an important topic; do I need to actually study history? Needing only what i need seems to be a stage yellow vibe that's been coming up pretty much daily for me and especially for the subject of "knowledge". Knowledge is only valuable when it's applicable to your life. But I'm curious how I may be possibly deeply ignorant in certain realms of education because (the thought is) I haven't been in any formal education for about 7 years now and at that time I was an addict etc. Is the booklist and actualized.org considered a sufficient stage yellow education in the "line" of educational development in your opinion @Leo Gura? Is Actualized and book list a complete place to start re-educating myself or is there something else I need to be studying right now (besides things that are obvious to study for application in my life and life purpose now)? What SD stage of education is our education system (college and younger too) and what stage am I and how should I go about elevating myself in this realm if I were wanting to do that? What sources official or not or what classes would one take to become a more holistic mind? If one reaches tier two and is developing a clear life purpose to work toward is any education that isn't practical still necessary to absorb(?), like for example history.
  7. Is having a girlfriend that believes in or has a very similar life purpose completely fantasy land? Give it to me straight leo lol
  8. I haven't finished the LP course I don't know. Initial thoughts something like personal development in the form of WWOOF hosting or something and maybe "having a woman" could actually multiply if I'm man enough for her and she has vision, not just some underdeveloped chick.
  9. When can we expect advanced health and diet/medicine videos? @Leo Gura
  10. HI @Leo Gura when can we expect some psychic ability videos? And if you feel it's needed too can we get a new and improved feminine/masculine video with some advice and insights etc.?
  11. Can anyone give examples in real life or just in writing of what a Yellow (or turquoise) business would look like? And can you maybe dumb it down for me and explain why you think it's a yellow (or turquoise) business? How would Tier 2 business be done in a tier 2 society?
  12. Lol brotha… it’s an authentic desire trust me. Forget about it though. I came back to forgiveness.. hope I can stay here and be more here. This was cry for help, thanks for being there. Hope you all get better too.
  13. Too empathetic means ability to be influenced by another source. I want to become completely detached and able to destroy etc.25 Hawaii
  14. I am thinking of becoming detached from sensations of suffering and empathy to other beings and training capacity to be swift, violent, and vicious little by little. I figure if I can build up tolerance very slowly with these videos, i barely have tolerance now, I'm too empathetic. And if I take 5-meo too and train fighting, killing chickens for my friend who sells chickens etc. then my red will be stronger than the average mother fucker.
  15. oh. so when you mentioned integrating the development of them in sd purple vid(?) and I think another video it was just theoretically and you haven't experienced any of them? I'm surprised by you saying you don't, I assumed you would since you said those words in a video before
  16. What if we were to design tier 2 society and then just start governing ourselves?
  17. feel like the most practical use of spiral dynamics model is to more easily see how the world actually is perfect and Beautiful...fuck man
  18. I was thinking last night LP can be a career that is serving any stage and it's agenda as long as the individual is embodying love and promoting the healthy aspects of all stages. The fact that SD is just a model has come back to me and it feels so much less relevant than just being a loving and present being. Is it more important to pursue no-mind than to bother thinking about a model once we have a firm grasp on it? When I see a healthy or "beautiful" version of a color it makes me realize how lovable and centered around love they all are. And I think that unhealthy versus healthy aspects are arising from no love versus love. So it feels like the model has just become irrelevant because there's just no time in the present moment, living my life to think about SD rather than merge with whatever consciousness that is around me while being subconsciously aware of the spiral and knowing that I'm living for love and progression... Just give it up until it's relevant I guess; kinda made a thought form out of SD, went a little crazy over it haha
  19. @Evil Raccoon way different bro because green is still a tier one stage meaning it follows an ideology dogmatically, yellow is way more relativistic and imagine turquoise is something even beyond that
  20. Only until what your ignoring starts to effect your life negatively
  21. Is it a goal to have one government that arches over the whole globe or am I confused in thinking this? @Leo Gura
  22. Let's say that we started a camp (not just for summer) for adults and it's purpose was to fulfill all of the needs and desires of someone at stage orange and help them develop through it into early stage green- What kind of activities would we provide? What kind of "self-help" in moments of challenge and temporary failure of those activities would we provide? And how and when would green values get introduced to an individual? And how would such a thing be marketed? thanks
