I had a good laugh from this post.
 
Relating MMORPG's to the MMORPG of life is a good way to move on from it. Imagine if you're playing some MMORPG, for example, lets say World of Warcraft. Now imagine if you're in the game and you stop your character to utilize some item called "Game Boy" where he can channel the item endlessly. Now while the item channels, you see your character engaged in a game boy device, and that's the only benefit to the item—you just see him playing on a game boy. You probably wouldn't do this for long, as you would realize it doesn't help you level up your WoW character, and you would quickly get back on to slaying mobs and completing quests. Sitting on your computer playing World of Warcraft is a parallel concept to having your WoW character stand still in the game and endlessly channel a useless item.

that make you awakened just by seeing them (I think it can happen, after all avatar made me imagine how would it be if I was a different creature for example) 

Great doc, thanks for sharing it.

Seems like liberals and lefties (green) are missing the point that Afghanistan needs to go through this phase of development, and whilst it isn't our preferred system to have ultra conservative rule, this is a phase that they need to get out of their system because they aren't developed enough yet. Only tier 2 can understand this

But that is emprically precisely the case.
Which is why 20 years of meddling was undone within a few weeks by the Taliban. The US was pushing water uphill with brooms for 20 years.
What you have to do in such a case is to admit your worldview about the region was wrong, not to blame the Taliban. The Taliban was right, the US was wrong. Only the US is too biased and paradigm locked to admit it. The Taliban understands the realities of survival in the desert better than any American. It's the Americans who are delusional here. And history and facts demonstrate this as clear as the sky is blue. Yet Americans are so self-biased they will deny it to the grave.
Which is why I teach about self-bias, relativity, perspective, epistemology, and Spiral Dynamics. A keen knowledge of these fields is necessary to make proper sense of this situation. But of course no one in US leadership understands all that. So here we are.

40:30 of this video, Don Beck being the genius he is foresaw this all.
 

@trenton Read "Reinventing Organizations" by Frederic Laloux or "Corporate Rebels" by Joost Minnar, Pim de Morree. "Let My People Go Surfing" by Yvon Chouinard is a great read, too.
Don't get into gaslighted into thinking better business is not possible. It is, and there are already concrete examples of corporations that have gone that way. Someone just have to scale those solutions, reinvent them in new sectors, it could be you.

Shinzen Young’s See Hear Feel technique is really unique when it comes to how he presents concentration. 
 
Long story short, concentration =\= attention stability, however attention stability can be a feature of concentration.
The beauty of noting meditation is one can get into a state of shamatha without stabilizing attention on a single object. Instead, momentary concentration doesn't disrupt the natural rhythms and flow of attention, or activity of mind but still facilitates the benefits of mindfulness. We learn to ride the wave of this field of flux rather manipulating it. 
Id also highly highly highly recommend Rob Burbea’s jhana retreat. There are certainly benefits to attention stability such as deep jhana work. 

Is the notion of Holons, the first step towards reaching tier 2 level of thinking?
And therefore moving from
vMEME Green to vMEME Yellow?
I've had that thought after watching a Ken Wilber video in which he says that after post-modernism reach its end, and destroys all the house of cards that were built in the previous stages, it turns out that its inevitable to develop more healthy hierarchies in order to create a more inclusive and more sustainable society...
And the concept of holons present both by Ken Wilber and Leo seems to me to be a better conceptual foundation for development,  both personal and societal, because it brings some tier 2 thinking that's required to adress what it's left out by post-modernism in its excess, like:
transcend and include ,
growth hierarchies and
"going meta"

That's my thought on this issue, but I would love to see what you guys think about that, so that we could have a more well rounded discussion about that??...

Do something that requires you being surrounded by Yellow people. It'll basically only happen if you align your life purpose with Tier 2.

Just finished reading "The little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and boy it touched me deeply. Coming from a dysfunctional family, I had a rough childhood which made me to mature fast. As a result, I feel disconnected from my inner child.

How do you regain the ability to see the world in all its magical wonderment and the playful attitude to life that kids possess?
 
 

It is on the must read list:
It is an amazing short book. Very well put together and the concepts in this book connect with the book Mindset from Carol Dweck. How I see mindsets is like this: according to your mindset you judge life experiences (such as successes, failures and effort).
This book called "Tame your Gremlin" is focused more on your dark side. Your inner beast that a lot of people have a hard time taming. The book is basically focused making a distinction between your higher self (i.e higher observer of true self) and lower self (your Gremlin).
It is a no nonsense book. I read it with two sits. It is a classic self-help style written book. Very reader friendly. I'm amazed it is not popular on this forum and elsewhere. 5/5.

If you have a fear of being unlovable, or shame or self hate you should check out Teal Swan’s work.    She does a better job covering developmental wounds and shadow work than Leo (sorry Leo!)
     How could self-hate be a survival strategy, you ask?  Watch these videos on counter-intuitive coping strategies:  Shame (17 min).  Self-Hate (The Most Dangerous Coping Mechanism) (10 min).  Fragmentation (20 min).
     When you understand the pay off you’re getting from self-hate, or shame or being needy, it’s much easier to evolve your survival strategies and that reward mechanism Leo was talking about.
     Shadow work, parts work, healthy eating and exercise, good sleep.  If that stuff gets too intense, watch Leo’s episode on “Dealing with Strong Negative Emotions.”  Summary is here.  You can also add tapping or havening for intense emotions.   
     You should also check out IFS (Internal Family Systems).  You can actually talk to the survival script (Protector) that tells you to you need to "earn love" to be "good enough," or whatever shadow you’re wrestling with.  Forming a relationship with your Protector helps you evolve it into a healthy version of itself.  Derek Scott’s channel is good.  On Shame
     Your worst qualities are actually your best qualities with the volume too high.  So instead of being needy, maybe you’ll become generous with healthy boundaries.  Instead of an aggressive ball buster, you can become ambitious with a straight shooting talking style.
    Those maladaptive traits aren’t the truth of who you really are (Leo’s work does a great job covering that stuff.)  They’re survival strategies you had to learn to survive your childhood.  They’re totally arbitrary.  They feel like the truth of who you are because they were baked into your nervous system for survival purposes, but you’re in a different situation now and can make a different choice.  You can re-wire yourself.
     clip: Transcend Your Script [6 mins].
     clip: What Shapes You Most [5 mins].
     Your ego-mind will keep saying you can't change, but it's all self-deception.  Working with those aspects of yourself through shadow work, parts work, IFS and maintaining good health will make evolving yourself much much easier.  When you get through to the other side and look back, you'll realize how your mind was being a tricky little bastard because it's scared.  However, it's tough to see all that when you're just starting the journey, but the journey's worth it.    

Having anxious feelings is a result of the limbic brain being in unfamiliar situations which can naturally be seen as a "threat" to the brain and is completely normal. Just gotta go with it, accept these sensations as they come and press on. In time you will desensitize to the new stimulus and not get anxiety anymore. Face that fear...

Emotional mastery isn't about suppressing emotions or always feeling good, but about being able to sit with whatever emotions your brain throws at you and not react to them... Leo has videos about this.. "how to deal with strong negative emotions" and others... be an emotional superconductor... 

1. Taming your gremlin gets you to practice becoming aware of what is basically your limiting, neurotic inner voice. By noting this, you just simply notice the thought instead of fighting yourself. There is more too it, like feeling into your body and being present in the moment. Good for increasing overall awareness.
2. Guide to rational living is great for developing an understand of the difference between irrational and rational thinking that either create a happy meaningful life where you are able to see life in a way that allows you to achieve you goals, feel good about yourself and not have neurotic demands on reality, or belief about reality that cause you to create useless suffering and struggle.
Now that you are used to noting your gremlin, you can also use that technique to notice irrational beliefs and thoughts and begin to replace them with rational thoughts. 
Honestly, other books like the Six pillars of self esteem also come into play here. each book builds and fleshes out different aspects of a healthy mind.
3. Adversitiy Quotient helps you develop your AQ (like IQ or EQ but with Adversity). I personally found that the lower your AQ the more neurotic and gremlin voices you have and listen to without adequate awareness. 
So, by developing mindfulness through meditation and a noting technique like taming your gremlin you can begin to notice more often throughout the day when you have irrational thoughts or thoughts that are signs of having a low AQ score.
The three books work nicely together towards cracking the nut of thinking rationally, and having an internal set of systems that allow you to live a happy fulfilling life where your thoughts are sane, rational and life affirming and nuanced enough to meet the demands and challenges of life.
 
I can do it much justice here. Really have to read them, do the exercises for yourself I think.

I like it, it's useful. I still use the noting technique. Its useful and in combination with Adversity Quotient and Guide to rational living they work together well. 

Preferably a course. 

I've read this book twice and am looking for other books like this 

Radical honesty can be both a blessing and a curse.
When one demands on speaking their truth regardless of the consequences and it just causes hurt and consternation. How does that benefit? It might help a situation on rare occasions but when expressed regardless of others feelings it can often lead things into a downward spiral.
The following advice was given by Cynthia Bourgeault in an online course. I think it is somewhat applicable to this thread.
 
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
Rather than moving too quickly to criticize and judge, you can exercise respect by practicing conscious speech. Before rushing to respond, stop, ground, take a couple of conscious breaths, then ask yourself these four questions: 
 
Does it need to be said?
Does it need to be said now?
Is it my place to say it?
Can it be said with kindness?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 I would do well to remember these four points. Like most of us though, I often forget myself and insist on having my say because of my being reactive and impulsive.

1
•You realize that ignorance is mostly cultural
...and that people have always lived in egoic bubbles constrained by time and place
 
2
•You put events into context
 
3
•You realize how privileged you are
Peacetime, healthcare, laws, education, medicine, technology
 
4
•You learn funny stories
Marat was a French revolutionary who had to spend his days in a bathtub because of a skin condition, in this bathtub he wrote polemics against the monarchy which influenced the revolution. 
 
5
•You realize development is very geographical
China is surrounded by the Gobi Desert, Himalayas and the Pacific Ocean and so was  isolated from other nations for hundreds of years, which helped its development.
 
6
•You become less racist/nationalist (because you realize everyone contributed to our modern world)
Did you know civilization was started by modern day Iranians, Indians, Egyptians and Chinese? 3000 years before Europeans came on the scene? Have you heard of The Golden Age Of Islam? Do you know who Zheng He is? Mansa Musa? Did you know Chinese invented gunpowder?
 
7
•You learn from past mistakes
 
8
•You understand how long it takes to build a country that lasts
It took Europe 1500 years of conflict to become united. (Although Europe is not a country, you get the point)
9
•You become better at envisioning the future
...because you realize we will never peak, so many things have not been invented yet
 
10
•You realize everything is impermanent
Empires rise and empires fall, glory fades.
 
11
•You become better at geography
...and perhaps you fall in love with the planet and its diversity of cultures and people
 
12
•You see the unity and division over time
http://geacron.com/home-en/
 
13
•It makes you want to explore the world
 
14
•You get shocked and inspired by the bravery of historical people
Columbus exploring the ocean, Livingstone trekking through the African jungle, Gandhi almost starving to death for his countries freedom
 
15
•You realize there is no simple solution to building societies and countries, you become a more nuanced thinker
 
16
•You realize countries are just a concept and dont really exist
 
17
•You realize morality is relative to historical era
 
18
Our education system is way too limited in its scope of history
...why arent we learning about Asia? Middle-East? Mayans? Incas? Sumerians? Ancient Persia? Islam?
19
•You become a pacifist!
5000 years of bloodshed, cant we just talk it out this time?
 

Im sure they’d have plenty to say, Trump’s  so easy to make fun of.
Our education system is far behind many countries in Europe. Michael Moore made a great film Where To Invade Next where he goes to different countries and “steals” ideas from their cultures to improve the U.S.
Funnily (or sadly) enough, many of the ideas he steals actually were inspired by America but were abandoned in favor of more profitable and unhealthy ones.
Things like diet, healthcare, education, vacation time, prisoner reform systems, and school classes about love are showcased.
We aren’t we taught about love in the U.S. school system. We could prevent so much corruption just by teaching people what love is and how to attract the opposite sex. Men who feel unloved and powerless to do anything about it are most dangerous to society. We’re  churning them out through stigma and lack of education.

Man, if I were you, I would create an entire course on this. What epistemic dysfunctions our education-system causes and how to re-wire your epistemology and think for yourself if you're out of the factory-farmed education-system.
Heck, I may do this myself! Because I can.
I honestly believe that there is nothing more important for us, as a society, than to critically look at the education-system. It is, hands-down, the highest-leverage point to create permanent change in society.

Teachers teach what they know - which is based on how they were taught - to take the material given, memorize it, and regurgitate it.  To them, the book/teacher/answer key is truth.
The school system does not value questioning ideas, using multiple perspectives, and developing how to think for oneself, creativity, self awareness, emotions, etc.
So many jobs are board game jobs - based on how well you can comply with the standards of "this is how it is done" now "get it done" - play the board game where the rules and pieces are already set and created.  It can take a long time just to learn how to play the board game - it can also be lots of pressure to get certain outcomes from the game.  
The more obedience you have, the more your survival is guaranteed.  If you are questioning the reality society has created, your survival is at risk.  It can be harder to perform at school, at work, in relationships, etc.
 

My conclusion: I visited the Venus Project to learn. Learning includes both discovering things that work and things that don't work. And I believe I found some of both at the Venus Project.
I do not believe their ideas for building a resource-based economy and getting rid of all government are possible any time soon. But when I toured their facilities, 99% of what I saw was not related to that. Mostly what I saw were engineering models for transportation, housing and urban design. Ways for buildings to be safer. Ways for cities to converse more energy. Ways to make transportation more efficient.
Jacque Fresco was not an economist or a business man. He was a scientist and engineer at his core. That is what he did best. And that is what the Venus Project should be focused on.
Forget the resourced-based economy. It's not going to happen, and we don't need it to happen. We can largely remove the deleterious effects of the current money-economy without actually getting rid of money. And if we do eventually want to get rid of money, great. But we are not there yet.
Proponents of TVP may say that I am ignoring root causes by saying they should leave out the resource-based economy. And perhaps I am. But you cannot always address root causes. Addressing root causes is an ideal. Sometimes you have to address symptoms and work within the parameters of what you got.
Focus instead on the engineering. I'm not an engineer who can validate Jacque's ideas, but I suspect many of them are very good in that department. And much more feasible than restructuring the entire global economy / political system.

Modern people aren't the first generation to be unhappy, modern people are the first generation to wake up to the fact that we are unhappy because we aren't so wrapped up in survival for the first time!
