What is it like to leap from Yellow to Turquoise?

[roopepa]

I'd like to hear this from someone who has personally gone through that leap.

What were the main "insights" or realizations that lead to this? What were the pitfalls of stage Yellow in your experience?

How did your beliefs or perspectives on certain concepts such as the ego, spirituality, philosophy, society, enlightenment, mind and emotion change in this process?

It sounds like you are asking what are the symptoms of Enlightenment?

I wouldn't call that enlightenment.

Call what? 

I highly doubt that an individual can go from Yellow to Turqoise without several Enlightenments. This stage represent values that the mind won't hold without some embodying of enlightenment. Maybe it doesn't have to be balls-deep Enlightenment, but I can't see how a mind can expand beyond self, family, country, species, without "it".

I doubt you’re going to find anybody on this forum. Turquoise seems to be extremely rare. I certainly don’t think I’m stable in turquoise myself.

Whaaat. I think there might even be several people on the forum quite solid on Turquoise.

I feel like many people see Turquoise as full transpersonal stage. Like Ramana Maharshi, Buddha, Rupert Spira etc. But it isn't. This is Tier 3, not Turquoise.

Or am I misunderstanding something here?

Perhaps one or two.

This is just my understanding of the spiral. It takes a long time to truly move into a new color. It doesn't happen in a week.

For myself, when I read the descriptions of each stage, I find the most resonance with Green / Yellow. Even if I intellectually understand that Turquoise is the goal, my behavior and thought process often doesn't line up if I'm being honest.

I suspect most people are struggling to even just move solidly into Green. That is basically the pinnacle of modern society. But it's still a minority.

So for anyone to get beyond that is really impressive. You basically have to outgrow all of modern society.
