  1. I just don't like calling people underdeveloped.
  2. Is it just mean, or is it also "for your own good"? ... "I'll just let him believe he is Turquoise, why crush people's egos for no reason?" Well, now there was a reason, so I did it.
  3. I guess I'm sorry for withholding my honest opinion about you until you decided to systematically uproot the existence of the forum for your own personal gain. All the things I've said in this thread have been thoughts I've had since the very first moments of talking with you. I generally try to avoid putting people down unless it's for a very good reason, and in your case it can maybe give you some humility (doubt it) to help with your new-found responsibilities.
  4. If you think that your early teens is a time where you start developing context/construct awareness and not a time where you've barely learned to do basic logical deductions, is just proving that you still lack context/construct awareness and are partially stuck in Orange. Green cognition is something you develop into your late-teens/early-twenties, and it's heavily dependent on general life experience (meeting different people, coming into contact with different ways of thinking, etc.), hence it correlates with age. Just because you adopt some Green practices from your culture doesn't mean you're Green. Kids in kindergarten are being taught social constructionist gender theory now. That doesn't mean they're Green. Your intellect flowers when you get better at doing basic logical deductions, yes. An Orange-Green person is perfectly capable of doing the cognitive operations of the things you're describing. I still don't see any strong references to context/construct awareness. Seeing the relationships between different fields is called learning.
  5. Describe what "Green" was like at 14, and "Yellow" was like at 18. Because ruffling people's feathers would only be about "reputation/status", not about people's emotions, hence Orange.
  6. You're a young Western guy who likely discovered New-Age spirituality in his teens like many people here, so you're at least entering Green. You don't have much insight into how logical argumentation can lead to self-deception, you repeatedly ruffle people's feathers even when it's to your own detriment, and you haphazardly mix contents of established theoretical frameworks with contents of your personal worldview; all signs of a lack of context/construct awareness and not having fully left Orange.
  7. What you think is Yellow is Orange, and what you think is Turquoise is Green.
  8. @Osaid Probably his eye condition.
  9. Make sure to post one article every three days for the next year, or else we're not keeping up.
  10. Because you said it like you were surprised.
  11. There have been performances of Black Metal music on national TV in Norway. It's not a big thing in society in general though.
  12. You're responsible for maximizing your emotional resilience.
  13. You keep saying everything is just consciousness (which is true), but then you're making distinctions like "room". I'm just putting those distinctions in a category called sense perceptions, which is what you do to understand things. Room is also a category, just a less inclusive category. Of course you know the difference between consciousness with a room in it and consciousness without a room in it, so you know the difference between consciousness and a sense perception.
  14. Yes, the room is within consciousness, but the room is a sense perception.
  15. I'm just saying there is a distinction between sense perceptions and consciousness.
  16. My eyes vs. your eyes? Isn't that a distinction? It's not that distinctions don't exist. It's that distinctions are from the absolute perspective One.
  17. Brains are within consciousness, not the other way around. Brain activity seems to correlate with certain sense perceptions (seeing, hearing, smelling, etc.), but again, sense perceptions are not consciousness. As for there being an external physical world, the way certain sense perceptions seem to appear along fairly consistent patterns (described by concepts such as space and time) can compel you to use the description of "external physical world" (e.g. when you go to the store, your house is still there when you return), but it's still all occuring within consciousness which doesn't have an inside or an outside.
