Of course. Now I only have a memory of that. Now all that is just a concept. The ego-mind is identified with 'having experienced an awakening'. And he loves it. How tricky! He is even claiming that it did it! The question is: Is possible to live permanently in that state? Are enlightened people living in that state? When you ask Rupert Spira about awakening or consciousness, is the talking via DIRECT PRESENT LIVING experience? I doubt it. And even if he does, just by putting it into words for an explanation, 'what it Is' is already lost with a layer of concepts. Is the finger, not the moon. But at the end of the day, we have to communicate in some way.

There was not total calm. I can tell you that. haha Was a mix of fear and uncontrollable laughter. I was saying 'this is it' 'this is it' I consider it organic. It happened. It was a sudden realization. Thoughts arose. But 'I' wasn't having them. They just appeared. It wasn't a meditative state. Way way different experience. At the end it remind me of Leo's live awakening videos. mmm still don't get what you are saying here. maybe in the future I will

Really? Isn't this the 'basic foundation' of awakening? How can you have an awakening without realizing this? Yes, I get what you are saying. Now I realize the memory of the awakening is just that, a memory. A concept. I realize I'm attached to the story. Is an ego trip. The ego-mind now fragmented reality into: 'having an awakening' and 'not having an awakening'. And it likes to identify itself with the first one. How sneaky

Solitude is number 1. Not full isolation, but long periods of solitude is a must. Inspirational reading, contemplation and introspection. I also like the concept by Sam Ovens of just 'looking outside the window from 10,000 feet view'. Understanding trends. Understanding where the Adjacent posible in your field is. So: Solitude + inspiration + contemplation + introspection + deep 'feel' and understanding of where your niche is at.

@Razard86 thank you for your words @Yimpa yes, I realize there is more to it. We'll see where this goes

In my previous post I talked about integrating Purple (+60 practical ideas to implement it). Read it before this one. Its impossible to integrate red without purple. Goes DEEP: In this one I rant about red. Its going to resonate with men for most part. Feedback is welcome. Lets go. RED: What is red? Everything that resonates with: -Risk. Action. Hero. Warrior. Fight. Blood. Adrenaline Red is about: -Challenging your body for the sake of doing it, almost in a masochistic way. Feel alive. Take RISKS. Warrior mentality. -Expressing your SEXUAL ENERGY in healthy ways. -Having clear BOUNDARIES & consequences when crossed; so you can fully stick to your blue principles. -Thinking less. Take ACTION. -Start thinking how you can life a HEROIC life. How can you flirt with death? PRACTICAL STEPS: - Stop talking about ‘masculinity'. Talk about MANLINESS. - Think of all your DEEPEST (legal) SEXUAL KINKY FANTASIES. Make them REAL. STOP - watching - porn as a mean to satisfy your these fantasies. Follow this rule: 'Im only going to watch porn videos that I had put into practice before in real life' Ex: If you haven't done a threesome, don't watch threesome videos. GO do a threesome in REAL life!) -Learn about BDSM, and implement it. -Ravish your woman. Slap her, spit on her, choke her, piss on her (CONSENSUAL! Don’t be stupid!) She has to genuinely enjoy this even more than you do. Can you reach a point where she begs you to do it? Is she getting more pleasure out of this than you do? -Approach that girl in the club conveying your masculine sexual energy. Go for a ONS (sober) with talking as little as possible. Just pure physical, energetic, polarizing, raw, visceral attraction. Be proud of that sexual 'conquest' -Eye contact. Even to the point were is uncomfortable. -Don't smile if its not sincere. - Challenge your body: -Wake up at 6am and go for a run outside in the cold, or for a swim in the sea. Or sprint until you are nauseous. Just for the sake of it. Is painful, is uncomfortable but you are a beast, and you love it. -Go to martial arts classes. Master at least 3 moves (ex: jab-straight right hand; jab-low kick; near choke; 1 takedown). Learn how to dodge punches. You don’t really need more than that to be confident enough for handling a threatening situation. -Fast for +48h. Feel how adaptable and strong your body is. Enjoy the hunger. Fuck this society standards of eating 3 times a day. You are a warrior. You don’t need that. -Confront people when they cross your boundaries (verbally). -Go for a walk in a poor dangerous neighborhood (go with a lot of cash in your wallet if you dare). -Write down a list of boundaries you have, and the consecuences when somebody crosses them. Spend a full day contemplating and introspecting on that. -You propably aren’t psycho enough. Go 10% more psycho. Care less about what people think. You still will be caring too much anyways. Satisfy your needs. -Pump your chest like a Silverback Gorilla. Hard! Moan. -Look at yourself in the mirror and bark like a fucking pitbull! Feel the animal energy moving through your body. Awaken that savage energy within you. -Ask yourself: ''Am I willing to die for something?’' ''If I have to give my life for a cause, what would it be?'' ''For what cause will I go to jail, or fast for a full month?'' - RED is not about doing illegal things, fighting people or even violence. Is about ASSERTIVENESS. It's about: Are you willing to fight if necessary? Are you afraid of confrontation or violence? Take the example of Gandhi: Is he red? Of course not. His philosophy is non-violence. But he had healthy red. -He wasn’t afraid of flirting with death, (he fasted for 3 weeks). -He wasn’t afraid of taking a beating. -He wasn’t afraid of spending time in jail (and maybe getting fucked in the ass) If he hadn’t integrated healthy read, maybe he wouldn’t stick to his principles. He had deep solid boundaries and wasn’t afraid of the consequences for sticking to them (deep suffering, death). All of your cool nice little blue values mean shit if you are not willing to draw a line in the sand and deal with the consecuences Another great example is David Deida. He is a healthy green man. But listen when he talks about ravishing your woman. Thats healthy red integrated. You can’t ravish a woman if you are not connected with that deep visceral passion. Is that mix of: Capacity for aggression / Being unapologetic about your dark desires + Deep love Is like they say: Fuck her ass hard; and then read her poetry. Red + Green This a hell of a combo. Dark gentleman. This is what makes women fall deeply in love with you. Even ‘turquoise’ women love men with healthy red. — Coming back to TJ Reeves post that caused controversy talking about being Coral, and wanting to teach Leo about it. He talked about Bruce Lee, Ido Portal or Laird Hamilton being coral (and he himself) because they put their physical life at risk. Those guys are green with healthy red integrated. Admirable, but not coral. An inspiration. For sure, but not sage levels. Just healthy red integrated. ‘I don’t care about death’ attitude. Great healthy examples. PROBLEMS with SKIPPING red As I stated in my Purple post: -You will become a laughable SJW -You will become a sad lonely incel -You will become a stage blue religious racist hating blacks and muslims -You will become a slave of society, media, culture, your boss and your own emotions and impulses Weak. No backbone. Scared. Too much feminine compassion ('welcome refugees!', until they start raping and stabbing people in record numbers. Hello Sweden...) Having climate anxiety. My God... what a bitch you are. Ungrateful of your privileges. You will moralize 'underveloped' people/cultures/countries, not understanding their situation, but thats because you were lucky enough for being born in a healthy family in a 1st world country. You don't feel powerful, so you give shit to others. Now, for a HEALTHIER integration, try the opposite of this macho-mindset I listed in the beginning. -Wear pink. -Do feminine practices like yoga, tai chi, qigong.. -Watch rom-coms without being insecure. Understand why women love this. -Get in touch with 'feminine emotions' -Go to ballet performances -Do he chores with pink gloves. -Wear an apron for cooking As Leo said in a video: A man brings a man into whatever he is doing. The activity doesnt define the man, the man defines de activity. If you get this right... man, your life will be great. FINAL WORDS: Red is about: -LESS FEAR. MORE ACTION. TAKING THE RISK. Get your backpack over the fence. Orange will make a strategy, but orange can get paralysis through analysis. Red is this voice in your head : ‘dude you already read 10 books this month, you are a bitch, go outside and talk to 10 girls; or do 10 cold calls NOW!’. Is that father talking to you. Is that masculine compassion. Dont get too confortable. Face reality! Commit first, figure out later. - START YOUR HERO'S JOURNEY. INSPIRE people. CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY. > Go watch Leo's video about the Hero's Journey. BRUTAL video. (I watched it last week. Made me rethink my values and vision). The thing is. The hero's journey starts with healthy red: 'fuck that. Lets go'! You have to be willing to scape the tribe (purple). You have to be willing to die for the Holy Grail. Nowadays, people go on a fake journey scaping the conforts of blue, and going into orange and some green. Having casual sex, getting into a relationships, building a business, getting a 6pack, trying some drugs, traveling... but that shit is EMPTY. Without red, your vision is always going to be small. Group-think infected. The largest your vision, the higher the risk; the more healthy red you need. Of course, you need blue and orange qualities, but first of all you need BALLS. (Think of Gandhi) And of course you also need green: * Redirect that wild, aggressive energy into LOVE. * (Essence of healthy red from my POV) With women. With other men. With your mission. With the world. With yourself. Turn: Fear into ACTION. Logic into guts. Passivity in to glory. Thinking into doing. Safety into RISK. You'll find the way. Stop overthinking, stop theorizing, stop playing it safe. Start fighting for a bigger cause. Be who you are, and let the chips fall where they may. Redirect that wild aggressive energy into LOVE, and fill the world with it. Much love -k

Half truths. 30 year old, millionaire, and no experience with women. What can go wrong there? hahah Then you hear about all those guys crying about how his wife took half his shit. You NEED to know how to get women BEFORE you have the money.

There is a balance to it. Think of it like a triangle and 3 vortex. 1st: The red pill, game, orange stuff. (good for casual sex) 2nd: The Deida, Perrion style, more lovingly green style. (good for intimate relationships) 3rd: The most important (but this doesn't sell well) . Your inner work, self-mastery, knowing who you are, your strengths, being on your path... (good for everything). You need those 3 things in order to enjoy women and in order to be in a great relationship. A table can't stand with just 2 legs. Most guys don't have any of those. Some are just good looking and some were just ''lucky'' to get a gf, but they are going to be in trouble maintaining it. There is no way around it. Look for your weak spot, and work on it. It can take years, and the lesson can be brutal. Huge emotional labour. Women will make you face reality like nothing else. And the pain of facing that truth can be too much for some. Girls are not settling as much as decades before. Thats why some guys now are quitting. They are not mgtows, they are quitters. Incels. If you want casual sex or a hot, smart, nice girlfriend, step up. Stop looking for excuses.

@Nivsch Yes, assertiveness seems to be one of the key aspects of integrating red.

@Fluran I won't suggest using substances in order to get in touch with 'red'

I always talk about how toxic social media is. -Isolates people -Brings hostility & quick judgements -Fills us with hate -Promotes superficiality. Robs us opportunities for depth. -Infect us with groupthink. -It multiplies the levels of judgement. And judgement is a disease that isolate us. So, as I’m now working on reducing judgement, I created this 3-PART RULE for reducing judgement: Here it is: I won’t judge anyone unless: -I met this person live. Face to face. -I spent at least 30 minutes talking to him. -I know basic stuff about his childhood, teen years, and relationships with his parents. And also try to remember Great Gatsby’s opening paragraph: In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." Think of Jada. So easy to judge. -30 second clips. -140 word tweets. -Some funny memes. But understand the hell she’s been through. Starting in his childhood, teens, and now. Understand her context. It hit me in this podcast I stumble across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwFxptz77II And this is not about Jada. Extrapolate this to anyone you judge. We judge because we want to feel superior. We judge because we want that cheap dopamine spike. We need to stop. I need to stop. My friends and I were judging her, Will and the whole situation a few months back. Without knowing any context. Reacting to media. Thats just stupid behavior. That's the first lesson I learnt. Reduce judgement remembering the Gatsby quote, and this 3 part rule. ---- Here I post about the 2nd lesson (deep):

Here is the first lesson: I found this one belongs in this section of the forum. This 2nd lesson is about DEEP RELATIONSHIPS. Not just relationships. About what I named: DEEP ’30-YEAR-POST-DEATH LOVE LETTER' RELATIONSHIP. Let me explain. I was writing my post about ‘Integrating Purple’, quitting social media addiction and actually going deep with your tribe. Then I stumble with this Jada Smith podcast. And it hit me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRP1q1Jj-7o&ab_channel=JayShettyPodcast I was neglecting deep friendships. I was neglecting deep relationships aside from my loving relationship. I hit me specially when he talks about the letter 2Pac send her. 30 years have passed. And she stills remembers it. She still feels it deeply. She stills cries over it. Luckily I have sent and received love letters from my girlfriend; and some texts from a close friend who, sadly, passed. And I keep those deep in my heart. And in a special drawer. I will be 60 and still get emotional rereading them. So my point is: When was the last time you STOPPED the cycle of day to day distraction in order to go deep into your feelings for THAT person? Yes, that one you are thinking about. And actually invest the time, energy, focus and emotional labour to put into paper your feelings for them. Writing something tangible, real, that will stand the test of time. Something that will deepen your most cherished relationships. When was the last time you wrote a love letter? Not just a love letter, I mean: A deep ’30 year-post-death’ love letter that brings you (and your recipient) to tears. The kind of letter that if you die today; your girlfriend/ son /father/ friend/ mentor/ mentee would still cry full of joy, sadness, melancholy 30 years later reading it. Or viceversa: The kind of letter that if your girlfriend/ son /father/ friend/ mentor/ mentee die today; you still will cry full of joy, sadness, melancholy 30 years later reading it. It doesn't have to be a letter. It can also be: -a poem -a photo printed (with a dedication in the back) -a painting (titanic style) -a special book with a personal dedication -a significant gift Or a combination of these. Something TANGIBLE. That you/they can touch. Smell. Feel. Sense. Something real. Something that ages, that deteriorates with time, like your body. Something impregnated with love. Something that merges life and death. Doing spiritual practices, contemplation, meditation or introspection, is great. Being alone is great. Solitude is great. I can't understand life without these practices. BUT. What is the point of life without a few deep ’30 year-post-death love letter’ relationships? Break the cycle of unconsciousness. Stop. Think of the people you love. Sit down with a candle and a piece of paper. And write (you can get ideas in these articles: https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/advice/the-art-of-letter-writing/) Make life worth remembering. Imagine how the face of your loved ones would bright when they receive your letter. Take your time. Go deep into your feelings. You will be glad you did it. Today, and 30 years from now. Much love -k

Ofc, no need to go neurotic. I realize some things may be over the top. The key is to find your sweet spot

I understand what you are saying. And yes, you are right, this post is for people who already past that window, which I suppose is the vast majority of this forum (people with some healthy blue, orange and green, so they won't go over the top with this action steps). The reality is that most people in west, as you said, need to go back to purple and red and integrate this stages. Thats the point of my post. Of course this post is NOT for 14 year olds Tate supporters. That would be a mess. I wouldn't say any of this to a 14 year old. What I posted were examples of actions/habits that a healthy adult could implement. Sometimes a bit of overcompensation works. If you are super shy man, afraid of talking to women, spending a few months day-gaming for hours, talking to hundreds of women and going in dozens of dates can be a good idea, although is not sustainable, but is needed to break from the shell. The same starting a business. You can be working 12+ hours per day for months, so after you can take the foot off the pedal. The same integrating other stages. An hedonistic stage orange wanting to integrate blue for example. Maybe he needs to stick to a super strict routine for weeks or months, giving up pleasures with tight accountability. Or a rationalist-scientific orange. Maybe he needs to go full woo-woo yoga, new age, before finding a nice balance between healthy orange and healthy green spirituality. Each person needs to find their balance.

Glad you like it

Nice distinctions! Good way to put it.

Don't know about books on this topic, but check this clip:

Here is my last insight: Being developed in the spiral is NOT about how high (you think) you are. Is about where your LOWER BOTTLE-NECK is. You are going to be limited by the lowest stage that you don’t have integrated. You can be fully enlightened, God realized, billionaire, deep understandings of complex systems bla bla bla… but if you have back pain, a gut problems, migraines, sleep deficiency, or you don’t control your sexual/sugar/online cravings, or don’t have a tribe/family or deep meaningful rituals, you are going to be miserable. Is not about reaching turquoise as fast as you can. Is about integrating the lower stages as deep as possible. Not trying to scape them. Understand it. Enjoy it, fully embrace it. Live it. Savour it. If not, everything else will be an overcompensation. *The lower the stage, the more important it is to develop and integrate it.* And you will realize that the spiral maybe is not that linear, and purple and turquoise may be closer than we initially believe) Im building from this ‘classic’ thread by Reeves: -Im aware that this could be a bastardization of SD, but is practical knowledge) Is a simple way to structure stuff, so it’s easier to implement). -When I talk about this, it doesn’t mean I integrated it all. I still work to do. If I write this is because Im working on it. Im not above anyone). So. Lets take a look a these lower stages: BEIGE. - Healthy eating. No sugar cravings. Basically not being fat. - Try keto for at least 2 weeks. - Try a 24h fast. This is not even stage blue discipline. Is prior to that. -How are you going to go for a (purple) hike or a camping if you are 20kg overweight? Or if you have sugar cravings? Or if you have some bodily pain? Or if you are zero energy or zero cardio? -How are you are going to be intimidating when you need (red) if you are too fat or to skinny? - Proper sleep. Be well rested. Have energy to get through the day. - Correct your posture. HUGE -Learn how to sit properly (Avoiding back & neck pain). This shit can ruin your life. -Sit less on chairs, and more on the ground even if its uncomfortable at first. -Learn about ankle, hip, shoulder mobility; psoas stretching if needed and check for imbalances. - Body movement. . HUGE Here you have some great examples (notice the guy on the left is 60 years old): People will say the first one is green, but that is not even yoga. Is just basically becoming a baby or a mammal again. Just moving. No goal. You can’t start a serious green-yoga practice if you are stiff like a rock. Get in touch with being a baby again. Move. Crawl. Be stupid. Think less. Be less civilized. You will enjoy purple more Spend more time on the ground. - Breathe properly. Again, like a baby (through the nose. Diaphragmatic breathing)

I understand what you are saying I have an online business. I use online banking. Im not talking about going full amish. Never said that. You can spend 8 hours per day working online and checking your online apps. Thats fine. Its a different thing to spend time on your phone for work reasons than for ‘entretainment’. Its a whole different thing. You get what Im saying. You, as a women, don't get the porn thing, as myself as a male, probably don't get the ‘how do I get him to stick with me after fucking me’. Young guys have a serious problem with porn. Most need to get rid of that. I talk about the URGES. Men need to let go of that. Fapping to porn can be ok from time to time. Cool. Im not saying is evil. But being addicted to porn (and social media) is lame. There is no way around it. As a healthy male you should be enjoying sex with women you like.

Thanks! Yes, the more integrated the lower stages, the easier is to go up. For example, a lot of people struggle with healthy green, because the neglect purple. And yes, the beauty of life can be found in simple things like purple activities or even (my version of) beige. No, don't forget to implement some of theses practices

Thanks! I'll do blue this week, since is what Im working on. For the other stages Im not sure I can get into this level of detail, but I'll be doing them before the end of the year.

Glad you like it! Yep, the fundamentals can't be forget. They are not sexy, but we need that solid foundations in order to build a large building.

Yep, and he can get a bit more twisted, by loving the fact that he is with more than one girl without them knowing that, and realizing that he has the power to break their heart. I was like that for period of time. I felt good about it, but now I realized the toxicity of that. The key is to integrate that red with green.

Exactly. Nice you implement!

Yes, scientists also believe in miracles
