@Ferdi Le so is yellow basically just a hippie whose developed discipline? 

No.  That would be mistaking Yellow for Orange.

not necessarily. One of greens dangers is being too idealistic and "lazy". More discipline is definately part of transceding to yellow

Discipline is entirely an Orange and lower than Orange concept.  Yellow doesn't use discipline as a motivator.  Yellow is much more intuitive and adaptive than that.  Yellow is not forcing himself or herself to do anything.  Yellow understands how to go directly to the systems themselves and make much more sustainable tweaks and change than discipline can.  Discipline is unsustainable.  Discipline is way too mechanical for Tier-Two.

When a green gets the hands of a Jed Mckenna's book they get depressed, then slowly spiral into yellow. Example with Julie in his first book.

This is a great example of a green - blue interaction.

The video is in brazilian portuguese, but I think you guys will appreciate just how easy it is to understand what is going on even if you don't understand a single word of what they are actually saying.

The context of this conversation is the following: One of the best theater directors of Brasil, Zé Celso, went to a particularly young conservative congressman office, Fernando Holiday, to discuss about some kind of censorship and restraints that were being imposed to his art (known to be specially shocking and with some sexual taboo contents).

The blue and green archetypes are just so well represented in this video, that I laugh every time I watch it. It's perfect.

See for yourself

A little hello from Russia. Shame that there are no subtitles, though. Seems to be a little more advanced than burning man, but still very green.

I think he might even be Turquoise. He is a very unorthodox yogi.

You can't get more punk-rock than the monk Thích Quảng Đức who burned himself alive. Self-sacrifice in the name of protest against the government. And since I mentioned punk rock, I think Yegor Letov - a Russian musician was not only a good example of Green (through his protest music), but also a good example of going full circle. He started of as an anarchist, made anti-soviet songs. Then, after the fall of USSR he claimed to be a radical communist (basically a fascist) and joined the ultra-left wing. Then, after he realised his image as a cultural icon was simply exploited for the political agenda of those people, he became apolitical. He also moved from punk/noise rock to psyhedelic rock. You could say he moved on to Yellow.

I feel like the punk movement in general is a good example of transient stage in Green & moving up the spiral, because at some point it starts to contradict itself. (Expressing yourself in a conformist way while claming to be a non-conformist.)
