    Obvious SD isn't a masculine or feminine thing, but when you look at examples of stage red and green it seems as though pair loosely to masculinity and femininity. Stage red examples have a lot of masculine appeals (MMA, dominance, power, etc.) even from stage orange men. Stage green consists of a lot of stereotypically feminine traits (emotional sensitivity, kindness, giving). I think it would be wrong to say that masculinity or feminity is better or more evolved, but I couldn't help but notice the overlap with SD.

    What are your thoughts?

    I'm prescribed Vyvance for ADD, but I have seen a lot of positive things about Modafinil. It would be hard to get my prescription switched to Modafinil, so I have been researching to see if it is worth it to buy Modafinil 3rd party. My questions are:

    If you have taken both, what is the difference between them?

    Is Modafinil safer for long-term health? why?

    Are there any other alternatives that you would recommend?

    I've been dating this girl for about a month. She was raised in a small town with a really abusive family and has significant trauma from it. It is clear to me that she has accumulated a lot of spiral-stage blue baggage. For example:

    -Politics: She thinks that Trump was the last great president (though she doesn't like him as a person). Didn't get the COVID vaccine and says she won't get the flu vaccine. 

    -Says things that are casually racist, homophobic, and transphobic

    -Strong religious views: thinks that atheists are going to hell, abortion is a sin, evolution doesn't exist, shouldn't donate organs, she has physically seen Satan, she physically sees auras around people, she feels God's presence, etc

     

    I never thought I could date someone like this. But despite the stupidity of her worldview, she is a kind and loving person. She is into meditation, chakras, nature, and other stage-green spirituality stuff. She is able to have deep conversations about things like masculinity/feminity that other girls wouldn't care about. I can feel how deeply she loves me, and I know had she been subjected to a different upbringing things would be changed completely.

    What am I supposed to do when I am attracted to someone who is clearly way lower in spiral dynamics than I am?

    I don't drink at all, which makes things complicated when it comes to pick-up. At parties and clubs, virtually every girl has had something to drink, meaning they are technically intoxicated to a degree. Obviously being totally wasted is one thing, but how exactly do you determine when it is too much? The laws are somewhat ambiguous and I really don't want to get into serious trouble. I know there are a lot of people on here who don't drink and do pick-ups at clubs, how do you guys navigate this?

    You MAY find that your life purpose aligns with self-inquiry, introspection, and enlightenment. In which case you have the best of both worlds. But otherwise I would get your material needs sorted out first.

    If that were to be my life purpose, wouldn't I still need to find a way to monetize/ make a career out of it? Because then my LP would be antithetical with survival.

    But for most seekers, I think focusing primarily on LP first and doing enlightenment alongside might be better.

    Maybe this post helps to reconcile enlightenment with human life in general. 

    This was my thought process as well. However, I also thought it wise to first awaken to what I truly want to create before starting a career? The post you mentioned was helpful.

    I'm 17, finishing high school and planning out the next stage of my life. I recently bought the LP course, but then began wondering what would be more advantageous

    a) Finish LP course and spend the next years developing my career/business

    b) Put all my focus into self-inquiry, introspective and enlightenment 

    I have been back and forth. I'm understand that in the end I will need to make the decision for myself, I am simply looking to get new perspectives from others who might have gone through this before.

    I have some ideas for changes @Leo Gura, but this is just what I would do, take it for what you will:

    - Change "Self-Actualization" to "Practical Self-Help", advertised so people can get more straight forward answers to (generally) straight forward questions. For people who aren't ready for esoteric, advanced, or spiritual concepts. If someone asks for basic advice like goal setting, the answers in the section shouldn't be anything like, "you need to wake up to God lul".

    - Remove Psychedlics from "Meditation, Consciousness, Enlightenment, Spirituality", and give it it's entire own section.

    - Add Culture to the name tag of "Society, Environment, Government, Politics"

    - Move "High Consciousness Resources" to the "Self-Help Product & Book Reviews" section, or move them up. They should be combined.

    - Add Finances to "Life Purpose, Career, Entrepreneurship", additionally give Life Purpose it's own section maybe. Since there is a course on it and it's a big part of the Actualized ethos.

    - Also some sort of privacy lock for journals would be a great feature. So you can block it from being publicly viewed, or invite/block specific people from reading/participating.

    - As well some sort of highlighted neon sticky post for the Serious Emotional Problems section about suicide and self-harm would be good. Just with some basic protocol about what the reader should do if feeling unstable, links to suicide hotlines, etc.

    The vitamin gummy bears, yogurt, fruit juice she mentioned that are bad are healthy. 

    No, they are not. Each of these are highly processed and contain an incredible amount of processed sugar which is largely stored as fat and (in excess) causes insulin resistance. Just because it sounds healthy (like fruit juice) dose not mean that it is. Read the nutritional information and you'll see there is not a big difference between a serving of Oreos and some of the "healthy" yogurts you will find at the supermarket.
