I've checked out the first 10 minutes just now @Leo Gura, so far it doesn't actually contradict anything I've stated here really.

How can it not contradict? You are trying hard to survive here.

But how does that jive with self interest from a turquoise/yellow point of view? So it is not  contradicting to defend yourself (at the expense of others if you must, but preferably not), defend your country (so for example blue/orange stage society doesn’t take over), enrich yourself (to get financial freedom to have time to self actualize)because one’s self interest represents the good of the greater picture?? 

@StarStruck  All these things are relative. As you mentioned, there might be a situation, where you would want to sacrifice your life, maybe if the secret police went to capture you and your family in the war or something like that. You have to defend your country only if there is danger and only if you actually want to defend it and have a reason for it. And some people just don't want to enrich themselves. High consciousness view point is love. If you love yourself, then you also don't want to sabotage yourself and others, because it causes you suffering. But if you want to suffer, go ahead.

@Serotoninluv I understand that position. 

There is no position to understand. You are debating yourself.

@possibilities You are conflating absolute and relative. Any thing can arise from emptiness. 

We are not on the same wavelength here. I wish you the best along your path ?

The below video from Leo’s blog is great for those learning about absolute and relative. It is simple, yet profound. The tendency of a thinking mind may be to dismiss it as too simple and the mind may want to analyze. Yet if one can relax the mind, simple direct pointers can be very effective in promoting insights.

But don't forget the Absolute.

Is Absolute just another perspective or the sum total of all perspective or something else entirely?
