It depends on how we define responsibility. Can you post his video?

You want to allow in Dragon Energy but hone it in a positive rather than a negative direction. If you have Dragon Energy, use it. Do it, don't let it do you.

I watched that video hoping for more to say the least. When I was going through Coral I tried to find guidance and I realized Coral is kind of an uncharted territory. Plenty of people have hit Coral though, it's just the vMeme hasn't been defined yet in Spiral Dynamics very well. That's video is not good for Coral.

An intimate relationship will make you happier if you're already happy all by yourself. But an intimate relationship will not make a person happy who is not happy all by themselves.

I wasn't impressed with that video. It's quite a bit off as I recall.
-
Coral is probably gonna be only for people who read.

Nice insight. Each Spiral Stage has their own characteristic or stereotypical set of archetypes for filling the human need of spirituality.

I will watch this video right now with my accountability partner. Thanks.

It's a great personal development model that Leo should cover in detail. Cover each chakra in it's own video.

Liberated from what exactly? If one believes that they're liberated, they should be able to state what they're liberated from. Just to say I'm liberated without giving that from what is liable to be an incomplete idea and/or a half-baked thought. -
All I'm saying is be mindful that there are many stories of "God" not just one's own white-knuckle clung to story.
-
Is that the only definition of the word "God"? That particular definition of God has a history to it. There are many concepts of God; why assume that's the "one right one"?

Stage Orange is often demonized by people who haven't yet integrated the pros (as in pros and cons) of Stage Orange. The pros of Stage Orange are advanced but a lot of people who think they're advanced pooh pooh the pros of Stage Orange AND pooh pooh integrating the pros of Stage Orange.

Peterson could benefit from more Enlightenment Work and from more integration of Yin energy.

I fit mine. Take the official test: https://www.mbtionline.com/TaketheMBTI My results were like this: There's (very likely, likely, and somewhat likely) for each letter: E (Very likely) N (Somewhat likely) -- this means that I have strong S too but a tip toward N T (Very likely) J (Very likely) ENTJ Frank, decisive, assume leadership readily. Quickly see illogical and inefficient procedures and policies, develop and implement comprehensive systems to solve organizational problems. Enjoy long-term planning and goal setting. Usually well informed, well read, enjoy expanding their knowledge and passing it on to others. Forceful in presenting their ideas. These are the four Cognitive Functions for ENTJ: Te Ni Se Fi Ideal Intimate Relationship Partner for ENTJ is INTP (It's good to have the NT in common so you have more to talk about): Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, ENTJ's natural partner is the INTP, or the ISTP. AN ENTJ's dominant function of Extraverted Thinking is best-matched with a personality type that is dominanted by Introverted Thinking.

It's all about context. In which contexts is a principle useful? That's the most important question for knowledge. -
We have plenty to work on. Your last video is a goldmine for a restructure of one's Big Vision work.

Jordan Peterson is great for doing personality theory work. He was a psychology professor specializing in personality theory. His Big 5 Aspects of Personality test is great, I took it: https://www.understandmyself.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits

Emotional healing work comes down to Enlightenment work, Shadow work and unwiring traumas.

I will watch this with my accountability partner right now.

It's so tempting to dissociate into the Mind and bypass living life. I should know, I spent my 20's and 30's basically doing that. There are pros and cons to all of this of course. My long life stuck in the Mind has teed me up to live life very well in my 40's. But one does need to become mindful of this issue.
-
I try to integrate Yin and Yang, yes. This includes but is not limited to integrating liberalism and conservativism. Too much conservativism and you become a dummy. Too much liberalism and you become someone who doesn't have their head screwed on tight.

Liberalism (Yin) vs. Conservationism (Yang)

Sounds like you resonate with this insight.

"On Spiral Dynamics Stage Teal" (written by me) (1) 100% Transcendence of the Mind -- including but not limited to transcendence of white-knuckle clinging to metaphysics and white-knuckle clinging to Truth Teal, unlike Turquoise and Coral, has completely (100%) transcended the Mind. Teal has reached Satori (or the Zen Mind). Teal is not white-knuckle clinging to metaphysics or to Truth. This means that Teal is not not clinging to metaphysics or to Truth either. Teal realizes that it's the Mind that clings to metaphysics and to Truth, and Teal has seen through the Mind completely. Teal allows the Mind but is no longer ignorant of the Mind making itself seem more important that it really is -- this includes but is not limited to the Mind making thought seem more important than it really is. Teal is able to live their life without being trapped inside the Mind-Matrix while also picking up the Mind when it's useful to do so and putting down the Mind when it's no longer useful. Teal knows how to do thought without thought doing them. (2) Focus on real relationships rather than abstract metaphysical love Because Teal has transcended the Mind, Teal is not clinging to any concept of metaphysical love. Teal values real relationships however and places their focus on nurturing real relationships that they care about. This doesn't mean that Teal is selfish though. Teal continues to express interpersonal compassion and contribution, but Teal is not clinging to any metaphysical love or abstraction about love being part of Truth or anything like that. That's all white-knuckle clinging by the Mind which Teal is well aware of. Teal is ok with not liking everybody. Teal is also ok with being interpersonally reactive when it's authentic and doesn't try to repress, suppress, or demonize Ego or Ego flare-ups. (See No. 6 below) Teal is very relationship-focused and uses relationships to do personal development work. (3) Authentic expression and authentic being -- full integration of the masculine and the feminine Teal realizes that both masculinity and femininity express itself in all persons. Teal watches their personas change and is mindful of their personas changing throughout the day. Teal can identify when they're in their masculine and when they're in their feminine. Teal is all about authentic expression, healing traumas, reducing shadow, recognizing personas, and following your goose-bumps (or following your bliss) whatever that might be because that's what your Ego-Mind needs to do to grow and to become more authentic (even if your Ego-Mind needs to go in a negative or destructive direction). Teal has integrated both the masculine and the feminine completely (100%). (4) Drops down from the Mind Space into the Heart-Mind Space -- this doesn't mean you lose intellect, you just don't have any ignorance regarding the Mind anymore — this is another masculine feminine integration -- full integration of the Heart-Mind Because Teal has fully transcended the Mind, they no longer have ignorance regarding the Mind. This allows Teal to descend from the heights of the Mind down into the Heart and to integrate both into the Heart-Mind. Teal has integrated the Mind and the Heart completely (100%). (5) Drops down from the Mind Space into the Body-Mind Space — this is another masculine feminine integration -- full integration of the Body-Mind Because Teal has fully transcended the Mind, they no longer have ignorance regarding the Mind. This allows Teal to descend from the heights of the Mind down into the Body and to integrate both into the Body-Mind. Teal has integrated the Mind and the Body completely (100%). (6) Realizes the Ego-Mind has pros and cons -- and doesn't demonize, repress, suppress or deny the Ego-Mind in a black-and-white kind of way Teal doesn't white-knuckle cling to the idea that the Ego is bad or an illusion. Teal doesn't white-knuckle cling to the idea that the Ego is not bad or an illusion. Teal doesn't try to repress, suppress, demonize, or dissociate from the Ego or the Mind. Teal realizes that the Ego-Mind has pros and cons, and Teal wants to maximize the pros of the Ego-Mind while minimizing the cons of the Ego-Mind. Because Teal is relationship and connection driven (real relationships and connections), they are not likely to be as selfish and solitary as Coral. Teal doesn't think they're God because they've transcended this kind of white-knuckle clinging to metaphysics and to Truth. Teal allows both the light side and the dark side of the personality.
