Sri Aurobindo and his work on Integral Yoga is amazing example of 19th/20th century early Stage Turquoise

Seems like TV can be used for good sometimes lmao:

If you haven't already listened to Alan watts, just know that he had a TV series uploaded to YouTube on top of the other audio recorded lectures of his.

@lmfao I love me some old school Turqoise. Watts is like a master musician of classic jazz.

This is one of the best talks I watched ever.

It integrates the perspective of zen master Doshin Roshi with the perspective of integral theory by Ken Wilber . It's a union of right brained enlightened master with a more theoretical thinking( Ken Wilber). 

I think Both of them are stage turquoise but each one takes a different approach and has different life experiences that led him to be stage turquoise.

I love how at minute 20 Doshin Roshi wanted to stop Ken and to speak but he sees that Ken keeps talking so he waits patiently and listens fully to Ken until he finds another opportunity to speak.

Its amazing how they both interact because of their different style and wisdom. 

You can see that Doshin Roshi has unconditional love and understanding for the whole, while Ken delivers knowledge and research into the theory of integral .

It's quite amazing how much wisdom you can take from only the way Doshin Roshi talks.

Add to that all the integral view of Ken!

Cynthia Bourgeault gives great instructions on the practice of Centering Prayer

 

In the spiritual circles I've traveled through. No one seems to appreciate Ocke deBoer the way I do. In this interview Iain Mcnay doesn't seem to get Ocke at all. I'll admit that in this interview, Ocke is not very articulate but I think it's because English is not his primary language. His two books HIGHER BEING BODIES and TWO SOULS are treasures to me.

Two quotes from HIGHER BEING BODIES 

"If you could float above the earth and become aware of all the negativity that is going on, you would never laugh again. The world is ruled by negative emotions."

"This is the difference between us and the angels. Angels are perfectly made and, therefore, naive and stupid; they can only do what they are made for. Humans have many more possibilities. There is more joy in heaven for one perfected human being than for a thousand angels."

 

From Paul Beekmans review of HIGHER BEING BODIES 

There is much more in his work to recommend in a brief review. For me I found refreshing the fact that Ocke makes work on oneself appear a potential source of pleasure. As he proclaims; "Absence of joy is slow suicide." Nothing could stir one's appetite to work on the self more than this statement. Understanding his own joy so transparent in his work, is the most persuasive reason to read his book. The book contains many other "homey" statements of this sort that speak well to the reader who is not deep into Gurdjieff's language. For example, Ocke suggests how to put meat on the skeleton of consciousness. He would free his reader from the prison of identification. He contrasts the head brain's radiation with the heart brain's emanation. He tells us the difference between inner and outer memory. the solar soul that can be developed over the lunar body that is destined to dust. 

This is finally. a book written by one who knows and cares for those who care but do not know yet how to work on themselves.
