For me, contributing to a more developed and conscious world feels like the only truly meaningful purpose. I have some connections and background in geopolitics, which could serve as a foundation, but I’m still in the process of figuring out what’s authentically true for me and how best to move forward(how to channel my ideas). Right now, I’m rewiring my entire operating system after going through Leo’s brutal deconstruction process and other transformative experiences.

This is absolutely correct. Worrying about and focusing on things beyond your control weakens your internal locus of control, shifting it toward an external one. This happens because the more attention you give to things you can’t influence…the more powerless you feel. This will slowly destroy your sense of agency.

I’m really concerned about this. The problem I can see is that people stage green are trying to influence but cannot do so because they are blind to all the other colours and not able to step into blue/red/orange when appropriate. We actually have a promising leader in Iceland, right now. Our new Prime Minister comes from the Social Democratic Party, and she has an impressive mix of academic knowledge and real-world experience. She’s worked in the private sector, including at Morgan Stanley in the US and UK, as well as with some of the biggest banks here in Iceland. It seems like she understands the complexities of both the market and governance, and she has the kind of experience that makes her qualified to deal with people and systems at different levels. We will see. We need individuals of higher development to step up throughout the world.

They’re pushing MAGA onto Europe now. To hell with this—we should all just move to India.

A few weeks ago, I had a strong feeling that Trump would try to annex Canada. People thought I was crazy. Last night, Trump posted this (see picture). Two weeks ago, Trump also stated that the US must own Greenland (despite their lack of interest in being “bought”), and now Trump Jr. is visiting Greenland. Keep in mind, to Trump, the world is a battleground where only the boldest survive. He does not feel safe unless he’s dominating. Trump’s actions will always reflect his actual power and state of development. Core Traits of Stage Red (Spiral Dynamics): • Power and Domination • Egocentric Perspective • Impulsivity • Rebellion Against Authority • Lack of Empathy • Thrives on Conflict • Status and Recognition • Black-and-White Thinking • Immediate Gratification • Charismatic Leadership • Impulsivity and Lack of Foresight • Difficulty with Collaboration • Instability in Power Dynamics How far will Trump go / be able to go? Would love to hear your perspective.

Manifesting is often misunderstood. Most people confuse visualization with manifestation, but they’re not the same. Manifestation is bringing something to life, creating it. You wouldn’t be asking if “creating” works….creating is creating. It’s self-evident. What you’re probably referring to is visualization, which is just one step in the process of manifestation. Visualization gives you clarity on what you want, which is essential. But manifestation only happens when you take responsibility and act to bring that vision into reality. You can’t just visualize a painting and expect it to appear—you have to pick up the brush and paint it. Some people unconsciously combine visualization with action, so they think manifestation is just about imagining things. But without action, visualization is incomplete. Manifestation is the whole process: imagining it, aligning with it, and creating it. But don’t underestimate belief. Here’s how powerful belief is: you believe you’re a human being, and you’re not. That belief shapes your entire reality. In the same way, what you believe about your future directly impacts the actions you take to create it.

@Sugarcoat I’ve been directly conscious of this for some time, but I’ve wrestled with a dissonance…wondering if I might be missing something. It’s been driving me crazy. This doubt arose because I’ve learned so much from Ralston and deeply respect his teachings, his claim that the absolute isn’t the relative. “He has been doing this for 40 years and I only few? I must be been missing something or deluding myself on this one” Nah… His most recent letter really hammered in the lesson of trusting my own consciousness above all else.

Your enlightenment isn’t higher than anything. Not Christianity, not the materialist, nor the bum on the street. The bum on the street is as enlightened as you. The Absolute doesn’t play favorites. It’s not something you achieve or unlock—it’s already everything, exactly as it is. You think you’ve climbed some ladder, but there is no ladder. No one is closer to it, no one is farther. The Kingdom of God, enlightenment, or whatever you want to call it, is everyone’s, as everyone. Sure, there are infinite things to explore, but there is nothing to reach, nothing to chase and nothing to be “higher” than. I’d be glad to hear you prove me wrong. Merry Christmas.

@Eph75 I don’t think that’s a mature way of communicating….not the insult itself, but the laziness of not supporting your point or specifying whom it’s directed at. The standards should be higher. @Leo Gura

I made these experiences pleasurable by removing/ignoring the negative stories I told myself about them. I first discovered this when I was getting into running…I used to be overweight and hated running because of the ideas and labels I attached to it. Once I let go of those, it sparked a curiosity that spread into other areas. Here are some examples; Muscle cramps, muscle soreness, headaches, tooth pain and extreme exhaustion (I have ran ultradistances in extreme condotions, such as in the desert in the middle east and in snow storm in Iceland). It’s also not just about manipulating the narrative around these experiences….it’s about what’s actually there when you drop the resistance. Once the resistance is gone, what’s left is often genuinely pleasurable. This doesn’t mean I ignore the signs my body is giving me, but it allows for a pleasurable experience rather than the opposite. This has also deepened with some of my recent awakenings. I’ve realized that, at its core, everything is absolutely beautiful/perfect….pure metaphysical love(hard to put it in words). I know it sounds insane but I can genuinely see even the most horrible things as beautiful or perfect. I’m fully aware this doesn’t fit into our reality/survival, I still have my biases and agendas, and I know certain actions have serious consequences. But it has undeniably shaped how I experience reality, it allowes alot more room for exploration.

@Malekakisioannis I understand you are suffering but try to ask yourself why your idea of the experience of pain is so biased to being ‘bad’? That’s the only unconscious fantasy I can see here. And regarding the headaches, it’s a known phenomenon within the kundalini domain to experience them and, through surrender, find pleasure in the experience. If you’re suffering from it, I suggest you look into it if you need proof outside of yourself. If you are suffering and this is too much for you to swallow, that’s okay, you don’t have to accept any of what I’m saying. I say all this with love and if you are suffering I feel for you, I would just rather show my compassion by potentially give you the opportunity to stop suffering.

Do not put words in my mouth. I did not say all pains can be surrendered neither is that my goal…here is what I said; ”I’m not saying you will completely overcome suffering, but you can eliminate it by 90%” This does not mean I’m saying you cannot surrender all pain, but I have not experienced that and therefore I’m not in a position to tell, are you? If not, I suggest you humble yourself and your assumptions.

I have actually already changed my relationship with headaches…I used to get migraines. You can change the pain into a sort of orgasmic feeling or high if you manage to stay curious and surrender to what you are experiencing.

Pain is a thought. Suffering is a thought. It’s a mental drama you’re playing out with yourself. Once you realise this it isn’t complicated; it’s obvious, it’s not hard, and it’s not only for the Buddha or Christ (that’s a fantasy). It’s like if you knew only one language…let’s call it “the bad language”….and then suddenly discovered another language, “the good language.” Every time you thought in the bad language, you would experience suffering. But once you’d learned the good language, it wouldn’t be hard to start thinking in it instead. It would take some effort, but you’d always know that whenever you were suffering, you were simply thinking in the bad language. And from there, you could choose not to do that. Meaning, realizing this doesn’t mean you’re suddenly free of all patterns….you’ll still have conditioned responses and habits to work through. But you’ll have the ability to start catching yourself in the act and making changes. Physical pain might seem different…more concrete. But I’ve managed to create enjoyable relationships with many experiences that would typically be labeled as “painful.” I’m not saying you will completely overcome suffering, but you can eliminate it by 90%, no need to manufacture what is already coming your way. But the reason you have such a hard time letting go of your addiction to suffering is that you are deeply identified with it, your whole world is constant problems and suffering. Some might argue that suffering is part of the Absolute truth. And of course that’s correct. And what? Just because all things are part of the Absolute doesn’t mean you’re compelled to act them out. Recognizing something as part of reality doesn’t mean you have to embody it. Killing people is part of the Absolute truth, that doesn’t mean you have to do that voluntarily. The reason for your suffering is way more likely to be your lack of awareness and incompetence, rather than you being some messiah. Be honest with yourself, do you really want to suffer?
