So I realized that I'm a blue in spiral dynamics

[StardewValley]

I was looking at a website that explains all the levels in detail and blue resonated with me and made me feel comfortable. Leo was right that you think you are two levels higher than you actually are. I was thinking I was surely a green because I care about pollution and animal rights and mass poverty and stuff. 

So how do I move up? Leo said to start forming my own opinions about things but then I'll be like orange people who think they know everything but really just form opinions that support whatever they want for themselves.

One of the biggest obstacles to moving up the stages is all of the fears, judgments, and false narratives one has constructed about the next higher stage.

You're gonna have to admit to yourself that your negative judgments of stage Orange people have been too simple-minded, lacking wider context and understanding.

If you think of stage Orange (or any stage of people) as evil or bad or selfish, then obviously you can never grow to embody that stage.

Unlike what most people think, Blue seems to be as a phase of Truth-seeking. Its even called Absolute Truth stage.

So all truth-seekers are Blue. This is the stage when you try to discipline yourself and get rid of Red compulsions.

All religious (dogma-oriented) people and people who are trying to find meaning in other-than-Truth activities are also Blue, but real Truth-seekers are stronger Blue, and can go beyond Blue much faster.

All the rules, morals, 'virtues', discipline etc arises in oneself from this very process of truth-seeking or meaning-seeking. Socially imposed rules and morals are not yet Blue because you just copied or were enforced to accept them from childhood to adolescence, when you still not very conscious, and not seek for a meaning. You accepted them unconsciously so they are not yet Blue. But when you do it willingly or you find morals and find rules and find its benefits on the path and adopt them then it is Blue.

Blue is when one sacrifices self to the transcendent Cause, Truth, or righteous Pathway

And Orange is first proper Enlightenment (same what Buddha realized under Boddhi tree). Yes, Orange is that, mind free from compulsions, joyfulness of life, realization that life having many possibilities (freedom) or life is the game for the sake of a game. If you dig dipper in spiral dynamics you will see it. Its my opinion of course. I never saw anyone refer to Orange as to enlightenment.

And Green is equanimity stage of enlightenment, 3rd dhyana in Buddhism. Less of a rapture and playfulness, and more of a peace and equanimity.

Yellow is when you can't feel your body if you don't focus on it, or 4th-5th dhyana (infinite consciousness, god-consciousness). This stage is achievable if you continue to live spiritually or do sadhanas in the marketplace after your enlightenment.

@Monkey-man What are you talking about? No, no, no.

Spiral Dynamics stages are nowhere near enlightenment. You are making that stuff up.
