After the ego death, Comes the Self death.

What role did Islam/the Quran play in this underdevelopment?

Well, answer the question for whoever's asking. They're just trying to drive the point home.

Your life's purpose is getting rich? Why not helping others?

Probably. I've had a habit of checking facebook a lot. For the past couple weeks, i check this forum more often. I guess I'm addicted? Haha, but seriously, facebook sucks. I mean it's useful, but it's a brainwashing/propaganda tool. Reaching millions and millions through the click of s button. Keeping us dependent. Doing it all for selfish gain. Bleh.

Everyone will go to heaven, But there is more than one heaven.

God made everything perfect for humanity, but we rebelled by following our lower nature instead of our higher nature, and thus brought evil upon ourselves.

I think it is important to at least focus on the idea of good, or of becoming more good. Sin in a general sense is an action that it is optimal to avoid. If you understand the variety of sins and how they relate to intention, it makes it easier to know what to avoid. Likewise, one can inquire into love and wisdom to know what to move towards.

So is what you just said, so why are we having a conversation?

Ok, then what are sins?

I am suggesting that you pray to God, not a "bearded man in the clouds".

@roki00 i said it sounded like the wrong path because you are working with evil spirits. You question the idea of calling them evil, but if you do not have a conception of good and evil in your worldview, you are missing out on a very important facet. Do these deities etc. require any sinful behaviour? By sin i mean a lack of love, such as hating or using another person. It is not bad to work with spirits, but without explicit mention from you about the morality of this, i can only assume there is much darkness surrounding it. Always be mindful of your actions, and let love guide you. Focus on working with good spirits, not just whatever spirit gets the job done, if that's what you've been doing. What are you ultimately trying to achieve?

You know how to pray don't you? Ask God for love.

Pray to God. Focus on helping others.

I was thinking how as we develop, we have both a passive/receiving and active/producing growth spurt of the levels, in order, but there is a lag between passive and active. I think as the brain develops, we become passively aware of all stages, but people will tend to level off when it comes to what they actually operate in. So a person may have the capacity to receive turquoise information just by being an adult, but perhaps can only really operate in blue and orange, so that is where they stay for a long time. Just a theory. One way to resolve the contradictions. To understand passive versus active, think about the person who learns about a scientific theory or political position, versus a person who developed the theory in the first place. When you're passive you can learn it, when you're active you can do it.

Psychosis is often used as a label for a variety of higher consciousness phenomena, but i suppose you are referring to the harrowing aspect.

Well, good/bad doesn't dissipate. One becomes increasingly good as one grows in love, and can see good and bad in others. From one's own perspective, it can seem that the duality is dissipating, because good is becoming the new norm.

@lmfao actualising is more like transcending categories by unifying opposites, such as "productivity while doing nothing". i find that my esteem category fits what you listed though

You move on to the spirit world, as a spirit.

How much consciousness does half a human have? Is consciousness just a bunch of equally sized balls?

The diagram I saw put the typical age of green as mid teens. That's partly what led to this thread, because I can see how it actually does apply to myself.

On a personal level, it helps you to develop, although the knowledge needs to continually get more advanced to keep it going.

We can zoom out entirely and suppose: what does the All judge to be the measure of goodness? And then go by that. If your relative notions contradict the all, then adjust your lens.

That doesn't sound like the right path.

Perhaps you have a need for stimulation, but it is up to you what you choose to be stimulated by. Are there better things you could be doing instead of things like video games? Find more developmentally conducive past-times.
