It's distinctively Blue in the sense that it's the first stage where this kind of thinking becomes prominent. The higher stages just go beyond that.

It cuts through all abstract rationalizations ("words") by focusing on what is concrete ("actions"). Blue is correlated with the "Concrete Operational" stage in Piaget's model of cognitive development. Simple propositions like that also encapsulate the relative simplicity of Blue (also seen in Commons' Model of hierarchical complexity). It doesn't involve long strings of formalized arguments, and it's strongly reductive.

Just listened to this for the first time and my jaw dropped at multiple points in the song. Groundbreaking stuff.

Expanding on my earlier point about typologies, this can be seen literally everywhere in the human language. For body types, you have ectomorph/mesomorph/endomorph. For personality, you have introvert/extrovert. For dominance, you have alpha/beta/etc. These things are largely polygenetic (unlike say brown/blue eyes and male/female), and it's therefore more accurate to say that they fall on a spectrum. All these words are just tools to ease communication.

Some people are unable to draw hard conclusions. They are called creative people

Are you able to imagine yourself taking the steps to actually becoming married? Sit down and ask yourself if you're ready to do x and listen for your emotional reaction. If you notice any resistance, like "oh I actually don't want to do that", then that is what you have to work on. You will naturally start manifesting that which you allow yourself to desire.

Public speaking and just speaking in general. It would help me with my future work (science).

All I know is that the Dhyana mudra feels nice when meditating

Have you read David Hume?

50% strength boost ?

Yes it is. Other people and you as a person = egos. Consciousness is transpersonal.

Ego will be humbled either way.

Egos are not conscious. Consciousness is conscious.

Speaking.

Mystics throughout history have been both skeptical and welcoming of mystical experiences that exceed the pure non-dual experience (e.g. visions and speech from God). For example, Jan Esmann is one of the most advanced non-dual teachers out there, and his most important experience involved perceptual content ("The Blue Being"). Nevertheless, it's sad to discredit other people's experiences.

Fanatiq needs to shut the fuck up ?

Biceps is nothing. It's all about deadlifts

All I'm seeing is a reductionistic psychodynamic explanation of the mystical experience. I don't see how it's a pre-trans fallacy.

Define your terms, please

What did he say specifically that makes you think that?

How so?

Mystical experiences are neither inherently pre- nor post-rational. Pre- and post-rationality are different value systems or levels of cognition, and mystics throughout history have had different values, but the core of the pre-perceptual mystical experience (the non-dual experience) has stayed the same.

I would say so. Of course Will Smith himself isn't purely Red, and slapping as an act is not inherently Red, but slapping as a response to somebody joking about your wife and then repeatedly yelling "keep my wife's name out of your mouth!" is pretty Red.
