@Razard86 props on your post, hope to see more of them

Hmm this is a bit abstract. Are you speaking of an individual or group of individuals? It helps to separate genuine insight of a teaching from the personality or delivery of the teacher. Easier said than done, but it’s a significant trap to look out for. In the end, you will realize these teachers and teachings are all constructs imagined by Infinite Consciousness. Now to the real question: what is Infinite Consciousness? This opens the door to the Eternal, through relentless investigation, experimentation and contemplation. A teachers personality flaws are irrelevant to exploring such a question in your own Mind Also-keep mind that descriptive terms like “dignified” and “vulgar” are relative. There is no substance to such terms and they come with many preconceived notions and human biases. It helps deeply question such labels, and dropping them entirely to reach higher Consciousness (which is the only Absolute in the Universe.)

I find people over exaggerate this topic. Yes you don’t want to waste all of your youth doing dumb stuff, but being stupid is part of the natural maturation process. You have many years to live given good health and mental stability. But there are certainly things you can do that will cripple your life permanently. Do not underestimate the power of having a mentor- someone’s who been thru the ups and downs that you can learn from Find a mentor in various areas you seek to master in life

Consciousness has nothing to compare itself to. No one can Awaken except yourself To grasp this is to understand the whole thing

One’s lack of understanding God does not signify a dense or underdeveloped mind- yet you seem to take this on as some absolute based on assumption. So .. what is behind your assertion of such claim?

Daniel’s mind isn’t broken-it just has no reference point to adequately grasp the question that’s being asked. It’s the default for many humans, Daniel’s mind isn’t special here as it is with other topics/subjects. We got a glimpse of Daniel’s humanness.

Beautifully written, one of my fav quotes. Sums our work up well:

Steel man of collectivism .. yuck. but you are correct in terms of excesses of libertarianism in the US. I would assume you’re not advocating for a descent into Stage Blue, but an elevation to Stage Green collectivism?

A recent (very recent) insight. Questions for me to contemplate: Why is this important? How does it create additional splits and distinctions in my Mind that may not need to be there? Can others understand anything? What is understanding/levels to understanding? are others even real? If they’re not real, why do I need them to understand? if I am God- I’m only one who can understand/recognize myself- what are the implications of this? Reactions against religious fanatics and hardcore atheists/materialists- how has my need for others to understand God created enemies out of these groups?

Superb

Ruthless capitalism is an unhealthy manifestation of orange Orange is at a lower level of development when it comes awareness of one's ecological footprint, holarchies and systems thinking. These are the mechanisms at play that causes Orange to turn a blind eye to pollution and corruption of systems (can be due to over emphasis on profit motives. These systems are both ecological and epistemic. Ex: corruption/pollution of ecological system-Exxon Mobil, drilling companies Ex: corruption/pollution of epistemic systems-Facebook, Joe Rogan podcast

so few people humans are even aware of what spiral dynamics is, that its hard to answer this (let alone knowledge of what human cognitive development models are).

subtle difference between guidance and instruction. Most spiritual teachers/gurus claim to have the answers, and go about the business programming you with their worldview .. rather putting you in position to derive your own insight through independent contemplation / critical thinking

High perspective: great analysis on the complexity of discussing chronic illness. Features: Balanced, acknowledges relativity of perspective, empathy, nuanced.

No claims, just my observations Ultimately in direct experience. My feelings can't be properly validated or invalidated by humans, as my experience is sovereign onto itself.

Can maybe add a banana or apple into your snack rotation. Good to hear you are taking care of yourself more

No one knows what a feeling is - its entirely context dependent, bound by linguistic constraints: "I feel like they're after me" "I feel a sensation in my gut" "I feel as though you're not listening" "That back rub feels so good" "You hurt my feelings" etc, etc (Correction, the only thing we know about feelings is that we feel them).

Susanne Cooke Greuter interview-higher stages of ego development: Of course-Construct Awareness is one of the highest of perspectives one can take:

how is your mental health? Are you taking care of baseline needs?

As someone who has struggled with both (and at times, still continues to this day)-i thought this was a great 5 minute animation to share:

One of those advantage being creating a real & tangible pathway to reaching 5/6-Construct Aware stage (SCG Ego Development Model). I did not realize how profound and life changing this stage is-Actualized.org is like a Masters course to help you get to this stage. For me, it was worth transcending all human concepts at the expense of social bonds forged from collective group think, ideology & conformity. One of hardest things to admit to oneself is that most (if not all) human social systems are grounded in one or more of these -- even the so called healthy ones.

Getting a lot of juice from Leo’s posting on Buddhist notions of Enlightenment as of late. The Buddhists seem to designate one state of consciousness (that of nirvana and pure formlessness) as the end game. Buddhists are ultimately stuck in duality and do not recognize ontology as a serious concept in spiritual matters. The possibility of reality being an ontological tautology is dismissed as a distraction from the pursuit of nirvana-this is a huge mistake). They don’t recognize Oneness properly, let alone Infinity. What is Enlightenment? It’s an achievement a particular state of consciousness. This can come with or without a proper understanding of the substance of reality itself, or an understanding of construct awareness or self deception. To the Buddhist-these things can be reduced to emptiness understanding is seen as an a distraction to attaining nirvana. The Buddhist is resisting Truth. One, on a more everyday level- that just because someone has reached this Enlightenment state, doesn’t mean they are safe guarded from epistemic corruption of the human mind and language. Secondly, they are resisting the truth that Enlightenment itself is an experience within Consciousness that has been turned into a limited epistemic frame, in which human biases have been projected upon and turned into a dogma. That dogma prevents them from understanding reality, which is the same to say realizing God. also noting that there has been a new embrace of this kind of thinking in Western culture (even pop culture). It’s an upgrade from Christian fundamentalism, but is not free from self deception and numerous forms of corruption. It also does nor properly deconstruct science; Stage Orange has taken transcendental meditation and has turned it into a tool for self help based in science, reducing suffering/pain so you can live a productive human life, understanding reality isn’t even thought about.

These are all questions for YOU to contemplate. Step 1
