I finished reading it for the second time two days ago. It cannot be only orange, and it is not, it also has elements of blue and green in it, but it is still mostly orange. The terms consciousness, self-acceptance, self-responsibility, self-assertiveness, purpose, and integrity exists at almost all stages (maybe not below blue), but are interpreted differently depending on the spiral development of the individual. The book also contains critics of statements such as: "The mind is powerless to know reality as it really is; ultimately, mind is impotent", "The senses are unreliable and untrustworthy; everything is an illusion", "Principles of logic are mere conventions". Some of the critics do have some kernels of true, but when the author make these critics he is not aware that there is something beyond to mind to integrate.

I hate noises.

I found a documentary about an atypical situation. In South Africa, there's a class of people who consist of poor white people. They live in similar situations that we often see with black people in many places of the world. They lack many things: hygiene, opportunities, etc. In South Africa, black people have now more opportunities and are better seen than white people. A black person has more chances of getting a job than a white person for example. It's like the same thing as in the US, but inverted. If you are white, how does it feel? If you are black, how does it feel? If you have another background, how does it feel? This documentary felt weird for me.

This one is orange. It's all about the self, individuality, and personal responsibility.

Interesting. Is it because beliefs and faith are used similarly than in religions? I remember the Self Confidence formula that looked like a prayer.

Speaking of South Africa, I came across this documentary recently. I didn't watch it, but it looks interesting.

Life is an exploration.

I didn't watched it yet, but I think that this video qualifies for this thread.

@Preety_India There's a global unconscious bias in the world.

I didn't watched the video, but I just want to share another controversial dynamic that I witnessed: even in non-white groups, many non-white people think that white people are superior. I worked in an off-shore company than more than one year. It happened a few times that some employees from Europe would come to do some management. They would come and wear shorts and sandals, but it was prohibited in the company. In my mind I thought "Cool, I can also wear sandals in the company" (I didn't know the rule). One day after they went back to Europe, I also came with sandals in the office, but got criticized. I asked "What's the problem? Other employees were wearing short and sandals recently?", some guys told me "Yeah... but it's different, they are the boss". They weren't the boss, they were just regular employees. Then the director ask me to come to in his office, he told me that there was a dress code in the company and that I was inappropriately dressed and that it wasn't class. When European employees would come, I also noticed that some workers would not be in their normal state. They would be more stressed, anxious, and would want to show themselves more. My mom told me about a white girl that I know that got a job recently. She told me that she is more paid than other women who are older and who have been working for more years than her. She think that it's because she is white. Where I live, I saw housing ads reserved for European people only. The local population prefer to work with them because they have more money and are better seen than the locals. But it frustrate other locals who get less opportunities.

@Happy Lizard Check this one, it's unreal.

What if governments delivered self-actualization help and programs? Would you consider it as socialism? In the future, I think that self-actualization will be (and is already to some levels) part of government and that the government will offer free help for people to self-actualize.

I always knew something was wrong with me, but never understand what it was. Now I understand.
