The three main facets might be simple to grasp intuitively, but to really embody them is far from simple. The mature systems view is without a doubt highly academic. This post was simply an overview. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Systems-View-Life-Unifying-Vision/dp/1316616436 Thank you!

JP presents concepts from Gestalt psychology and cognitive psychology that deal with perceptual structures, which relates to aspects of construct awareness.

If you act in accordance to your belief, then that is kinda pushing it less in your favor, making it more unknown, higher risk.

And this is a judgement based on priors, similar to how "heavy metals are toxic" is a prior to the judgement of whether you should consume them or not. You argument is about degrees. What is your standard for whether something toxic or not? Does it have to be measureable? Should you act on it?

Ok, but do you act according to that belief? Then your belief is that taking priors into consideration and erring on the side of caution is not smart.

The beliefs are not equivalent, because we know heavy metals are toxic. If we didn't know anything about the toxicity, then the beliefs would be more equivalent, but even then, you would still err on the side of caution, because the unknown carries risk. This is why rationality is not wisdom.

That is mental.

Oh my bad. I've seen people actually do that here from a sort of quasi-spiritual perspective ("death is not a bad thing") as an argument against vaccinations, so I was interpreting it as that.

...yeah, when you start questioning people's fear of death, it does kinda remove the seriousness of your comment. If you don't really mean it, then don't say it.

"Why are you so irrationally afraid of death?"

Good luck advertising your pro-death stance to your fellow citizens.

I suggest simply starting a meditation habit and trusting fully in what you feel. Don't entertain beliefs like "death is not real." Just listen to yourself and see what truly resonates for you.

Last night, I had a dream that I was being chased by several tornadoes. Then today I read about the tornado incident in Kentucky with an estimated death toll of 100 people, which is the worst tornado event in the history of Kentucky. About two weeks ago, I had a dream where PsychedSubstance got kicked out from his own house. Today he released this video: The night my dad's boss died from drowning, I had a nightmare where I was being chased by a ghost, fearing for my life. I usually never have those types of nightmares. What is this?

I would love to believe that. It's just weird that I can't remember ever having had a dream with tornadoes in it, certainly not being chased by them. I haven't watched any tornado videos recently either. You also have to factor in that the dreams happened literally parallel to the real world events temporally speaking (although I can't actually confirm the PsychedSubstance one, it's a highly probable given the dates he provided).

Thank you Yep – holarchies: the unit is both a part of a whole and a whole in itself. Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory puts this brilliantly: the individual is surrounded by intersecting systems with different types of influence (direct/indirect, local/distant, small/large). For example, here is the definition of "exosystem": Yup. Real systems are incredibly complex and the abstract systems (models) are really insufficient.

I remember Nahm explained it as taking what you've learned at Yellow and sharing it with the world. You can draw parallels between learning about enlightenment and actually embodying it, or going from being a recluse forest mystic to a social Bodhisattva. So it becomes less about actually theorizing and working within one's own life (one's own mind and local environment) and more about manifesting the theory in practice and working in the collective space, hence it's more collectivist. Doing this definitely requires additional refinement on the level of theory as well. Other than that, I'm generally unsure about the "essence" Turquoise. Maybe because Tier 2 is already about inclusivity and holism, the "essence" of the higher stage is not as distinct or particularized, but simply about expanding the systems view and making it more holistic (it's only Tier 1 that is about maintaining a particular set of values and excluding others).

Yes. God is all there is to be aware of.

God let's you be him by him being you. Is that selfish?

You are God in an absolute sense. You are a finite human being in a relative sense. God does what god does, and humans do what humans do. There is no contradiction.

Yeah there is so much more. I won't add any more points though. It's already long enough

He probably saw it coming as well

Seems right Thank you!

Here is your delivery

Yellow has a mature systems view that isn't merely a compilation of the previous stages. I will make a thread about systems thinking soon. Consider it my magnum opus ? EDIT: Here it is.

What do you base this on?
