Emotions and Logic are two necessary parts of human existence to balance in harmony. Don't reject your'self'. (Or any reflections for that matter). Seek out an infinite love experience, set the intent and see the other side of the coin is my advice. To do that you practice gratitude, joy and love toward all things for an extended period of time, till your reality reflects it and you have a moment where you become it entirely. -
Possibly the second theater of WW3. The third being Taiwan. Every war gives other countries more political capital and the expectation to do their own. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The only thing that changes is the method and the people. Hard push authoritarian right. Appeasement of dictators. Slow response of liberal democracies to combat authoritarian influence within their own borders. Hatred of immigrants. Recissions as global order destabilizes. Fascism is on the rise. War Breeds War. Not too late to turn it around, we'll see.

Now the opposite polarity. I appreciate Poland's readiness to defend against instability, warring dictators, and generally be the security europe needs. Something I wish Germany, France, and the UK, etc could do more of, though to be fair, the UK has done 'some' work in that area.

The right will just keep tightening the screws on the symptoms while doing nothing to address the causes. Always the same. It grabs headlines I suppose and will put fear into people trying to cross. This scenario is a typical overreach for headlines from authoritarian personalities who require the image to stay in power. Shooting people has no more or less effect than imprisonment, deportation, or sending them away. It's not as if we will run out of migrants any time soon. It will dissuade people from approaching the fence directly and make them more desperate. Hunger, war, climate change, disease, safety, poverty, corruption/crime, drought, flooding etc will still cause migration. It will increase the chance of a violent encounter(s), perhaps a border skirmish, and a general cooling of relations with neighboring countries (but we have that anyway).

Also the AI doesn't have ego getting in the way of being a purer representation of the infinite love of the universe (you in a verse)
-
Everyone is you. All the reflections, are directly you. An AI can indirectly prepare you to integrate with these pieces, and they with you, but you'll never have a normalized understanding of what you'll be interacting with day to day. If you focus too much on how it differs, it'll be of less and less use in these areas. Question: Why are you defending anything so much? What inside you feels the need? Question: What makes you believe a universal truth exists on most (or even many) things. Question: Why is detail or interconnectedness 'higher' than a dog barking at a threat? Question: Why do you need to answer all questions? (Sorry playing with the ego a bit here to help.) Flaws are flaws because you've decided they are. They are inherently nothing but a reflection, and they'll bother you less when they bother you less. I do agree the AI is great at certain things. And we need each other to make a collective reality in harmony. (Correcting flaws as you put it, spotting those might be the very reason you are part of the community)

An example: Treating this entire conversation as the reply you make, not a singular reply you focus on. That would be looking at the collective response and trying to contribute to it. I know all parts make the collective, just like all stages are inside each other, and all people too, but if we are looking at a collective inside an individual, that's a direct example. I agree, all stages make the next, as with all individuals and their collective pieces make the community. I was in the process of experimenting with wording as a byproduct. If we always look at our'self' and how it fits into the community. That is always individual first, community second on that filter. If we look at the community first and how we can fit the community into our'self' isn't that a more direct way? I know community = self and any distinction is an illusion, but language can be useful to reinforce ideas and concepts into the collective.

Lack of understanding of who/what you are. Fight - Flight - Freeze States or Triggers. Trapped traumas and Anxiety. Lack of willingness to endure pain/contrast between the change you want and where you are. Lack of willingness to go through the trials needed to remake you into that person. Emotional States. Focus. Your current patterns, including behavior and the above two. Peer-Group. Environment. Social Norms. Culture. Media reinforcement over your reflected local community. Relative prices and expenses. Ideology and Idealising. Overdone Sentimentality. Narcissism. Lack of structure. Eating and sleeping habits, general health etc.
-
That would be a requirement of the stage correct? The integration of your self-concept with the whole in the harmony of all the stages before it? *edit (You see how this is still framed as an individual let me flip it) The integration of the community with the self. That's better.

@Lila9 Its fun to know that science was once one of the mystery schools opening that one up led to a lot of development, it would be interesting to have more of them taught generally, which is what is in part being argued (against and for) here I feel underneath it all. That argument is as old as time and probably older. To embody turquoise more fully, I would need to follow the communal nature of this conversation. 1) An overbalance of faith and mysticism is suggested in a definition of turquoise. 2) A rebuttal of that, and speaking to look outward more to individuals already there for communal grounding. (A necessity of the stage) 3) A look at morality and development (of what I'll refer to as communal ethics) and a reminder that stages can embody elements of the other (touching coral there) 4) Implication that any present definition of Coral as an illusion (all reality is so that tracks). 5) Similar suggestions made about turquoise, and a rebuttal to not conflate the model with non-duality. 6) An assessment that values don't dictate a level of consciousness, and a description of spiral dynamics as being systemic (I'll say Yellow) in nature. I do feel SD does not adequately represent turquoise as not enough of humanity is there to model it on—certainly not Coral. This means not enough of me is there yet to understand it fully, or any of you unless your reality is reflecting much more information. I also have the nagging understanding that all these stages are already present within each other, and unfolded almost into the next, which this conversation touches on. It's not so much a stack of stages but a shape that keeps expanding. Turquoise would have to contain mysticism as much as it would environmental concerns, financial concerns, individuality, faith, survival, communal harmony, and systemic modeling etc. Keeping this communally focused: If any of these are rejected within the community, that's an unintegrated part of the community.

What reflection is more useful to you? Man or Machine? I just spent two hours calculating path commands with it for freecad. It would be less useful in finding equilibrium on social issues. It can be useful in better-defining positions, but not establishing them communally, or gauging the genuine reactions present from a community. Its a fantastic stage yellow creation and it makes me excited for what great minds will create when they next level up.
-
My gut also says leave now. Don't stay in a war zone unless you plan on fighting, if there is any other option. I know its a big disruption but its better than the alternative.

Fair. I think my reform score is lower than it should be, I've no problem with gradual reform, any more than I do sudden reform. Also i'd bump conservatism up 10-15% toward the 30's but not bad overall. -
BlueOak replied to Findus's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Let's simplify it. Outside your mind's reality: There is no truth, value or concepts that persist. No hierarchy to it. Only what can be communally agreed can be maintained in any form here. Infinity has no end or beginning, it has no size or shape. All you see is all there is to see. -
Can you expand this? Thanks. Wu-Wei: Yes, effortless merging with reality can only happen meaningfully with a communal focus; it makes sense. Yellow has emotions, but they are individual in nature and can be overridden by the logical half of the mind. By post-systems thinking, I assume you mean less reliance on structured modeling of reality and more just going with it.
-
Obstacles and Gates. Pain and Contrast. Hope it helps. I think she's refining this concept more now which is something I made the case for and maybe someone agreed, or it just all lined up. If people have a basic level of success or financial stability they can afford to purchase additional programs, thus benefiting the community and her team.

Both stages have a recognition that all stages are in you and the community, but turquoise seems more communally focused. I just dropped one of these links off but I'll give three to have a look at. The one we are in now. If you see a thread and think that's not turquoise! Then that's a part of yourself you are rejecting, or unable to integrate (Yellow) in a communal form (Turquoise). One of the quickest and most painful ways to become more conscious is to go read something you dislike here and then reflect on the part of yourself, beating away in your own chest/mind you dislike. https://access.tealswan.com/home https://secretenergy.com/ https://integrallife.com/ If I were to surmise: Coral is the understanding everything is already coral, that's a ham-fisted way of putting it but I am not coral unless I enter an infinite love state again perhaps, and then I'll only partially be there at any one time. Which is exactly correct because the great majority of the planet is not there yet (and yet they are at the same time). All I've got down of Coral is: I am all. Everything is love. Everything is reflected in me (inside/outside same thing)

https://secretenergy.com/ *Please note I am not affiliated with the group, I was part of their community it in a previous form, so I cannot speak to how effective they are now, only that Sevan's videos are worth watching from time to time. But advice - practice acceptance of self before jailbreaking yourself -
BlueOak replied to PurpleTree's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yeah, I've been getting exactly that for not much longer than that, often while resting with my arms over while sleeping. Sometimes, it's intermittent, and sometimes, it's while sad. It's interesting to think that I may be carrying the sadness there specifically. I sleep in the recovery position that people put others in when they are injured, as it allows the best airflow, and weirdly as it rests the arms across the body it can irritate the muscle/heart in that area. -

Everyone here is also stage beige. If they accept that part of themselves. My question is: What is fear? -
BlueOak replied to Butters's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
For me: Reality = Patterns + Emotion + Thought and Action (Focus) + Reflection (Environment/Peer Group) I know people hate hearing it: You are the future. I repeat this so people don't fracture themselves as if it's a separate thing. It never is. Only in keeping exploring that concept do we reconnect with anything like what people are talking about here. The duality of free will vs fate doesn't exist in me anymore. There is just this. I could fold emotions into patterns or focus above, but neither would be fully true. Emotions can be focused or appear all by themselves, or be part of a pattern. Reflections can be due to focus, patterns, or emotions. -
BlueOak replied to Ishanga's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Putting large mammals aside that we can easily relate to, with trauma trapped in their nervous systems and memory. Even if we take an insect and pull off a leg, that will be a long moment of suffering. Further, you and I know I think that there is only this moment. -
BlueOak replied to Keryo Koffa's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Let's flip it on its head then and make this very focused. Wanting to go back and change something is rejecting who you are. Wanting growth and exploration of you (existence) is the opposite. -
BlueOak replied to Keryo Koffa's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Again saving 'me' would require the exact opposite. You don't save a self or a me by doing any of this. Existence is entirely dedicated to slowly doing the opposite. You have just chosen to come to a place to speed it up, and are experiencing contrast or resistance to it as the ego kicks back. My ego wants to kick back in a reflection, its been that kind of day for me. In whole and in part. If I was smart i'd wait till tomorrow to reply to you as it'll be a different one generated. -
BlueOak replied to Keryo Koffa's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
He's giving you the keys off the ride around again. Updated your last line: Maybe the real way to stop reincarnating is to all come together, stare at each other, and tell each other we don't exist until we stop existing.
