How to be wise

@Joseph Maynor The distinction between duality and non-duality is the final duality! Ta-da!

That’s quiet an irrelevant question. Whoever or whatever it is that is asking the question, the answer to the question is what matters, not the ‘who’ who is asking that question.

@Leo Gura I see what you mean. When you merge all of the apparent dualities, then you must finally merge duality with non-duality. It’s like when the knife cuts everything, it hasn’t cut everything yet. The one thing that remains is the knife cutting itself. Neat.

@Leo Gura We’re talking about different things. Stage green hippies can’t live in a racist town of they’re own kind. They can’t watch their people being racist against other races. Sadhguru can happily live in a racist Indian town where black people are being persecuted. The only thing that’s stopping hippies from happily watching this is their big fat egos. Ofcourse it doesn’t mean sadhguru won’t take action against it, but we’re talking about his internal state, he will be happy not angry.

@Shin The ego won’t surrender without a fight dude.

@Leo Gura Lol Sadhguru lives in India which is mostly stage blue. Most of the speeches he gives are to stage blue and orange people. All you have to do is keep your mouth shut about spirituality.

@Leo Gura Those stage green hippies that you so much admire have strong egos against racism, sexism and homophobia. Sadhguru luckily does not. Stage green hippies cannot live happily in a racist town. Sadhguru can. Can you?

@Hellspeed But you’re not the body dude. Plus death doesn’t exist. So why do you care.

@CreamCat Love and empathy always exist. The problem is that the mind will project a cruel world with no understanding. What needs to be healed is the mind, not the world.

@eskwire Welcome to planet earth. I don’t know why you expect people to be considerate of your feelings. We aren’t. We won’t ever. Haven’t you noticed yet?

@Mirror of Confusion Have you experienced any negative emotions yesterday. If so, go back to that situation and fill out a ‘judge your neighbour’ worksheet based on that moment in space and time. Keep doing that until you find that you are living joyfully 24/7. That’s when the ego is deconstructed, integration has happened and you are done. Btw, who said The Work is only for other people. The Work is ofcourse for ANY stressful situation of any kind, be it money, work or health. When you no longer have any such problems in your personal life, then you do it on things like death, poverty, injustice and other ‘culturally based’ problems. Keep going until you become ecstatic 24/7.

@SoonHei The Work of Byron Katie. I’m working towards enlightenment, infusion of non-duality into my daily life, full emotional mastery and peace of mind. I’m confident I’ll get there in just a year or two, given my current pace. I want to get the spiritual department settled before I can undertake my life purpose. Otherwise you’ll end up like Leo, who has been meditating for 5 full years and is still basically nowhere.

@Shin There are plenty of people who have been meditating for decades and are still not enlightened, and they have no true peace of mind. That comes from inquiry. I inquire for 2 hours daily, and it’s working!

@Pramit Just make sure you’re not doing it because of ANY negative emotion, or you’ll regret the decision in the future. There are ways to completely purge your negative emotions in a matter of months, so watch out for any escaping.

@Leo Gura No I can’t access it either. It’s saying “I don’t have permission to access the content.”

@AleksM The real Osho is within all of us. Nobody has more wisdom than another.

@CreamCat You can also see the delusion in that trip. He said “I’m scared that this awakened state will leave me, but I don’t see how that’s possible.” Haha. It did leave him. He was wrong. Although maybe it’s because in the awakened state, there is no duality between remaining and leaving, or some insight of that sort. So you can say that he was right in that the experience did not leave him.

@XYZ That’s not an accurate description of blue. I think that Leo’s video was focusing too much on right-wing, dogmatic religion. Stage blue is about stage red realising that it can’t just do whatever it wants, because of present ‘realities’. Although those ‘realities’ could be anything, but that’s why you don’t see stage orange people just doing whatever the hell they want to other people. They have stage blue morality within them that will let them act decently. Without it, could you imagine the world today.

@Joseph Maynor I think it’s because Trump hasn’t integrated blue properly. He jumped from school bully to business man too quickly.

Stage Red is concerned with people laughing at it:

@Fuku @Sahil Pandit The Work of Byron Katie. It’s really working for me! Get the book ‘Loving What Is’.

@Flammable Concentrate on the question.

@Echoes I’d like my 2 minutes back please!

@Serotoninluv When you go to stage green mobs, strict anti-trump rules is what you normally see. Then what difference is there between antifa and a stage blue left wing mob?

In the book ‘spiral dynamics’ it has some very interesting facts about stage blue. Firstly, that atheism can be in stage blue. In fact, in the book it is mentioned that many atheists are in fact stage blue, and not stage orange. I always thought that atheism was stage orange, but not according to Don Beck and Christopher Cowen. Secondly, we can also have blue feminists. This also surprised me because I thought that feminism was exclusively green, but what do you know. Feminism can manifest itself in stage blue, and again many feminists are stage blue, and not green. Thirdly that stage blue can manifest itself in both right and left wing. So the notion of right wings being blue and left wings being green can be safely discarded. Stage blue people can be in either right or left wing, or even “entrenched in moderation” as quoted in the book. So that leads me to believe that we can have some very different types of blue societies. Some blue societies can look a lot like green societies because of the shared values. Does anybody know of any examples of stage blue left-wingers or moderate people. Far too much we see stage blue people being portrayed as right wingers, but stage blue can of course take any position including what we call stage green or even yellow values. For example a stage blue society that focuses on knowledge and open mindedness.
