@PhilGR Hello fellow Greek mate. In my opinion maybe you did not hit the subject from many angles. I was sitting in the same subject and i felt that i did not know at all, so many angles and possibilities of outcome. It is about the process not the answer.

@molosku for me helped that i retook the test second time after two weeks to double check. I have also the my first strength the creativity although i am an Accountant and i am not creative at all in my everyday life. I do not have a single artistic hobby, maybe some guitar here and there. However in my everyday life can make things work whatever the situation by finding new ways to do them. I believe the meaning of creativity that this test talks about is the creative mind capacity to found new ways and carve your own path. Maybe retake the test after a while, or maybe do other tests about strengths to double check.

...i mean for egotistic behaviors that you like to bring into the light and dissolve them with time. for example the question "why i value so much the acceptance of others?" but to do with the same rules (time, isolation, journal, daily)

Not hypothetically. I mean actually shown by results of the tests (MBIT, VIA Survey of Character Strengths, Hexaco). There are always there... thinking, judging, perspective as strengths. How can a person utilize this so not to backfire?

@Emerald I consciously judge the manipulative marketing manager b$tch and her actions to brainwash the employees. Considering many in the company agree with me it is a spade for spade right? I understand the Capitalist system gave birth to these people (Systemically) but I consciously do not care since it is out of my actions field change them. So maybe i can utilize my judgement by avoiding such companies in the future be more true to myself. Or maybe to judge if there is room in the market for new ideas, business opportunities and so on.

Sorry, had to

So i was in a meditation class. And now i am moving to another country and i want to buy a present to my meditation/spiritual teacher as a gratitude for 2 years of non taking money from me. He is not into materialism of course but i need to say a thank you with all my heart to him and his wife for their teachings. To offer something back you know. What would you guys suggest for this situation?

@Zweistein Yes the life may be little expensive there and in some districts they indeed have many tourists. However: 1) It has a big start up scene, new ideas new businesses, conscious businesses etc 2) You can find more easily a job in English as expat, in Germany and other countries is more difficult you have to know the Native Language to work 3) We are going to move with my gf (she will go for a Msc) so we will stay as students with half rent and accommodation expenses. 4) It has also cheap high quality Msc Courses in Businesses, that i may choose start in my Second year. After all It is an opportunity to leave my blue stage country. I am thinking the last 4 years and now is the time. Thanks for the interest btw

@Zweistein Very Interesting! As an Accountant i went directly to the financial statements and it seems thinks are going pretty good for a groundbreaking idea such this. Personally i am moving to Amsterdam to involve in social entrepreneurship/ conscious business for a couple of years. Hope to find great business ideas such as this.

@Zweistein Doesn't this happens everywhere today, in any kind of business or Institution? Quantity over quality, sink or swim, ''healthy bottom lines'' etc I think the devil is in the details. Although i am not a fan, Capitalism is a model, actually the best we ever had in action. So the problem is, that now is growing like cancer with no limits. The solution may not be to criticize the obvious but to prove that modified versions of controlled capitalism can actually work. We have to show new modified versions of sustainable growth that actually work. Then the rest will follow.

Yes i had this... Well it is the association that you have subconsciously with the place of home. For me worked to change the design and furnitures. The other one was to do the work outside of home in a cafe,library or something

Careful with such advices.

@XenomorfSome Good points there, i totally agree. I am not going to debate here. The thing is that this guy wants to be ''Steve Jobs Penetration alike''... so he can have the freedom later to be ''Green'' criticizing big corporations from his latest iMac. Oh the irony

@DocHoliday This is tricky... exactly because i was in this situation years ago, i completely understand that the person is probably Lazy and does not want to try at all

...no boundaries to exploit people for sure

''Is this your GOD?''

Does Laziness and Irresponsiblity count as Green?

@wpw Do you have the budget to outsource all these? You can always hire a lady that cooks, cleans your house and does the laundry, problem solved if you have 700 euros per month.

@brugluiz As far as i understand now, no. To be in the highest stage means that you have fully transcended the rest stages from the one you were. It needs awareness and understanding. Can a child or teen have this knowledge with zero experience of life? we normal people can not born turquoise, i was asking for exceptions like Ghadi, Sadhguru etc

Has he transcended orange, green and yellow? I mean India is probably blue , so do you believe he transcended the Blue with a western business attitude of achieving, then went to green and so on... Can you imagine Sadhguru being Orange or his default stage was higher from the beginning?

@Aakash Vijayan I think it give you some insights, bt deep down you do not want to limit yourself to what a test tells you. You can be whatever you want. How many introverts became public speakers or entrepreneurs? Many! Btw i am a ISTJ-A, also confirmed in a way by my GF that took it for me.

@pluto @Solace I like so much the idea of one meal per day, but i was always afraid if i would gain weight and shift slow my metabolism. It is like an urban legend that if you eat one meal per day you are going to get fat.

@Self Discovery Not even meditation music from smartphone? Not even mindful walks ? These walks energise the body... damn!

@Self Discovery Nice thoughts and observations. Keep it up, I am preparing for a five days solo meditation retreat. My first one. Considering your recent experience what would you advise so to maximize the results?

@molosku I do not understand completely if you speak about the Ego death, but thanks anyways!
