How dare they! lol This thread is so much fun.

Great recommendations! Also children don't make judgements. They just explore and absorb and accept the world as it is.

Everything he does is about his personal survival agenda: his aims, his fears, his interests (and those of his ‘close circle’/ clan). He doesn’t care about anybody else. His interests include money, personal security, power/control, vanity/fame. I heard that he wanted his name to be mentioned in the school history books as the one who gathered back the Russian territories that had been unfairly given away in the past. Therefore he decided to get Crimea back, to begin with. Then he planned to gain control over the whole territory of Ukraine, not wanting to let it go and become a free democratic country. And all he has ever said was to hide his true intentions and thoughts. As for money, I heard they have announced public contracts for reconstruction of the occupied territories that they have themselves destroyed. And the biggest public contracts are usually awarded to the people from his ‘close circle’.

And look at the faces of the other ‘devout Christians’ lol To me they look more like his bodyguards. (Well, they are his bodyguards). And the man in orange to the left of the woman in orange in the top picture seems to be the same person as the one to the left of her in the picture below.

@John Paul , I hope you don’t mind me expressing my opinion, but what an interesting combination of values you have here! Consciousness as opposed to mind – quite an advanced value on the spiral, discipline – stage Blue (?), family, which “is your everything” – deep Purple!

It’s one of the many (metaphoric) ways to explain the process of creation in the Universe. I understand it and I use it.

Or having what you want. Like, for example, I want my car rides to always be safe, efficient, and pleasant. When I get into a car, I always think what I want my ride to be like. And I always get it. Just one small example. Works with girls too

@Ramzi08 , You take action too soon. Align your thoughts with your desires first, then take action.

@Ramzi08 , Do you know that you create your own reality? You do it with your thoughts! As you think these thoughts that you've described in your post, as you write these words, you create this miserable and mediocre life for yourself and recreate it every time you repeat them. Stop saying/ thinking that. Think about what you want to have in life. Define it. Play with it in your imagination. Enjoy imagined scenes of you having intense and meaningful relationships. Believe that your physical reality will reflect to you your new state of mind.

How about models supported by direct experience?

Do you mean orgy as a sexual activity or any excessive activity? Sorry if the question seems stupid ))

I find a lot of value in this model. It helped me to understand the difference between people caused ultimately by various degrees of finiteness of their consciousness. It gave me so much clarity. For me this spiral is also a perfect illustration of gradual evolvement of human consciousness from fear (lower stages: purple, red, blue, maybe even orange) to love (higher stages), from the state most distant from God to the God-like state.

Although stage Purple is a champion in terms of fear (i.e. viewing the world beyond their “close circle” of family and friends as extremely dangerous and therefore being afraid of virtually everything due to clan mentality), stage Red has a lot of fear too. Even if some of them may seem brave or try to appear brave, there is one thing they definitely fear and this is a power greater than them. And they will submit to someone who is stronger or has more power (very basic survival strategy). This explains, for example, why Russians (the masses) are so submissive and why they don’t throw over this oppressive regime. This hierarchy of power is something normal to them and they are not willing to go against it. This is also the reason why Putin has always maintained the image of a strong leader. His rhetoric, his “macho” images that he likes to demonstrate to the public (hunting/fishing with a naked torso, diving in a bathyscaph, flying battle planes) serve this purpose and are usually very carefully staged. In reality we see a person hiding in his bunker during the pandemic and now during the war, as opposed to the Ukrainian leader who shows real bravery, for example, going to the front line. Interstingly, “fearful/paranoid” are the words most often used now by Russian liberals to describe Putin.

Flow = Connection to God = Being on the frequency of God (the word “connection” is not quite accurate though as we are never disconnected/ we are God; returning to the God state is maybe a better way of saying it)

They obviously watch too much television
