@integral Hehe. No, Yellow isn't functional, just classy.

SD test. I did it about 20 years ago, it's licensed by Don Beck as I recall.

Enlightenment or non-duality is ever present and can be accessed regardless of one's level of psychological maturity because the absolute realm transcends and includes the relative realms. How one experiences and interprets such satori type insights is, seemingly, determined by one's stage of evolution.

A friend of mine, who used to do a lot of consulting using SD (including the official test) once told me that this film is a good example of Yellow.

I'd say Tristan Harris is Yellow: pattern recognition, vision logic analysis, individualistic ethicist. May be knocking on the door of Turquoise with the community thing in co-founding Center for Humane Technology.

Coral is the stage after turquoise. My (very limited) understanding of it is that from turquoise to coral: compassion becomes love; life as dream becomes life as presence; and a whole lot of Eastern spiritual terms are used as we run out of understanding and language about it. I don't even bother with Turquoise in my explanation of SD: https://medium.com/@Darren_Everitt/psychosociological-devlopment-the-4th-person-a5ca589a196a. The point is that there is plenty more stages of understanding/being here in the relative/dualistic realm - and I think they're best left alone until one starts getting there else the questions make no sense - whereas enlightenment or awakening to the omnipresent absolute/divine/non-dual realm is independent of psychological maturity. To be concise, one's experience and interpretation of such an awakening is determined by one's developmental stage.

I read Ken Wilber talk about meta mid para mind over mind and super mind and I just get confused as to what the hell is going on. Will I have to get to or near those levels to be able to conceptually understand them? In Wilber's book, Integral Psychology, he compares dozens of frameworks of psychological development and after the equivalent of Coral, it seems that only Sri Aurobindo had more stages ( illinumated mind, intuitive mind, etc.). So it seems that only he could perceive that such further levels exist.
