My examples were my own opinions, (as stated in the first half of the video) and used mostly for the video footage. Thanks y’all.
Idealized society/man? In brave new world and 1984, it took a brave new world and 1984 “to make” (fabricate) that to happen.These stages assume “the western mind is sane,” or that too many minds are similar, when personalities and minds are not (similar or the same)
Every single election cycle we are told, "This is the most important election in history. The other team is an existential threat!" Every single time there's a politically relevant event we are told, "This is the most important event of our lives!" Gee I wonder why people are so stressed out and anxious
@@Stevie-J this is so on point. It’s a real boy who cried wolf scenario. If all of the events are “the most important blah blah blah” then none of them are.
I mean you could always stop listening to the mainstream and just openly receiving their psychological programming like an NPC. But that would require you to think for yourself, and you aren't very good at that...
There's a very real chance of a fashionist (word change cause censorship) is about to be elected and repeal the rights of millions because of religious fanatics having too much say and never being satisfied. Nothing hyperbolic about that, just reality.

I made a conscious decision to change the kind of content that I’ve been consuming. Deleted my social media accounts. Stopped clicking on video that were giving me some negative energy to navigate the day with. It’s been tough and it can get a bit isolating at times, but the fact that THIS kind of content is starting to show up in my feed, is a sign that I’m headed in the right direction. Thank you so much for sharing this 😌🙏🏾
I'm currently between yellow and turquoise and let me tell you, it's a hard perspective to have sometimes. You see everything from such a different and awakend perspective that it becomes hard not to dissociate sometimes. There's good reason the shamans and seers of old were often hermits. People can be exhausting and spiritually draining to be around. You see the little details of human behavior and how so much of our suffering in life is brought on by ourselves. You get to a point where you just learn to simply BE.
I am mostly in green starting to scratch the surface into yellow. Living in a society which is mostly in orange is exhausting. Seeing people act as if actions and words don't have consequences. Seeing people overly identify with their egos. what does it all matter if we are all going to die anyway? what is the point of status? wealth? awards? recognition? none of it ultimately matters in the long run civilizations rise and fall all the time. human being are special but we are not exempt from the tide of history or karmic cycles. People are exhausting I prefer to just isolate and play video games by myself now. this coming from a former history teacher.
@@rikubear6549 it matters BECAUSE we are so finite. 🙂 What matters is experience. You say you play video games, imagine life as an RPG. It has a LOT of similarities to one when you look into it. The game is simply about playing it to the fullest and experiencing the events and quests that arise. That's it. Does it matter in the end? No. But that's all the more reason to take it the experience as we have it now. The key is to be conscious of it and actually PLAY the game. Play the side quests, play the main quest, explore the map, find little cool tidbits of lore. Dont worry about winning the game. Its completely arbitrary in the end. My personal 'win' condition is simply to play consciously. Life is play to win. Most dont play the game, they just exist in it, running through their programming. Most are NPCs. But we can become active Players. An odd comparison, I know, but it's one that actaully helped me a few years ago to make that perspective shift very solidly into yellow. 🙂
I'm not ashamed to admit I often have parts of me which ritualistically go into Purple and that I employ quite a bit of orange too because I live in poverty and have loved ones I want to be there for which requires me to think strategically from time to time. That said I think I'm mostly in Green and Yellow, and I think I've "touched" turquoise from time to time. I love shamanism, buddhism, and taoism. I spend most of my time alone meditating or with select friends online for the same reason you talked about, but I'm not afraid to go out in the streets and interact with people either, especially the homeless and downtrodden. I like to play piano for them or exchange food and goods, art, etc. with the homeless camps and resource centers.
@@EllyCatfox nothing to be ashamed of at all! I'm pretty sure that at the higher levels, one can access ALL the 'colors' as necessary. Its just now you're conscious of it. There have been many times where I've found myself in deep meditation and reached a point of zero thoughts, just pure instinct and presence in the moment. One could very well argue that that state is returning back to 'beige' for a time. 100% present with the moment and reconnected with the base natural world. I'm starting to think the 'color' state beyond turquoise should be white, a combination of all the colors. Either that or clear. 🤷♂️
Thought I was alone in thinking there was a paradigm shift maybe 15 years ago. Feels like everything has been shit ever since, its almost like the responsible people who ran law and order completely gave up on the people and though, fuck it. Nothing feels warm and unique anymore. Instead cold and generic. If any of you feel the same, Im here for you :) Also thanks Em, Ill sub to your Instagram. Your videos are inspirational and I should make something similar on my channel soon!
I've been saying much the same. The shift itself has been happning for quite a long time, but since the advent of smart phones and unlimited information, its been like gasoline on a bonfire.
@@mikescott4195 oh you know, Smart phones, unlimited access to unlimited information, social media, a recession, the Fire Nation attacking, just a normal year. 🤣
On Sunday, I had a car accident. Something within me told me to be careful and another voice told me to continue driving. I spun around and flew off a bridge. The only thing I could think of it was "It is a miracle. God is benevolent". Then, people started helping me out and embracing me as if I were their family. I used to believe that people were naturally born benevolent. Even if every body told me otherwise. Now, I have seen it with my eyes. Once, I fed flies just to see if I could train them. I failed. Now, I understand that the fly was me. And the fly wanted to give me an eperience of how their world is. So close to death, yet, so far. I truly believe that we as a species can overcome imposed ideas and states of mind and let curiosity sparkle a divine spark within us. And, I know, that beauty will save the world. We just need to see through the veil and find beauty in all of its forms.
I spent years in the integral community and used to attend weekly discussion groups. I still appreciate the theory, but eventually it became clear to me that the characteristics associated with each stage and too universal and nuanced to be exclusive to the stages. It's a great model to use as a tool for discussion, but it fails when attempted to be use as a neat theory of everything.
loved this! I'd never heard of the spiral, but it was super interesting to learn about it! Also, I really like your videos! I feel like you offer such a fresh take and make videos about things that aren't as talked about which makes them more interesting.
Years ago I od’ed on a cocktail of drugs and left my body. I saw this scene in front of me of a universe and heard this voice tell me “they all look different but they’re all the same”..a day or two afterwards me and my sis found the Baha’i faith, I’ve been growing ever since and am now an anarchist to. I understand that God spoke to every culture through the religions and gave similar messages that you can find in every holy book. Politicians are just car salesmen that are just as lost as we are and nations are mere illusions just as money is. We can create the kingdom of God here and now if only we woke up to the fact that it’s amongst us and within us, not some far away place. All souls will find the light of truth in time. Everyone is saved.
this is . exactly how my philosophy around this kind of subject has been developing like this concept as a whole describing it aghhgh ive been waiting for something like this that explains it so fluently!!!! the state of the world keeps moving so fast and growing up with it has taught me so much & trying to wrap my head around it has intrigued me about these forms of consciousness/perception for so long
Maybe the stage after turquoise is rejecting the stages altogether. The teleological assumption is that we're evolving to be "better" but I question this premise. We're changing, for better or worse.
Wow, this was a very well put together essay, with a topic ive never heard of before. I feel like more channels need to adopt your work ethic instead of just copy pasting the topic of the week into a bland soulless video. This channel definitely deserves more subscribers, and I am excited to learn about the next topic in Em's wild world
This is part of the message of true Christianity. One has to let go of their own "ego", who they think they need to be and what they want. We need to release from who we think we are, and understand that we are all here beyond the purpose to "hold up this avatar" as Jim Carrey put it. The world we live in now has been crafted to feed the ego of every single individual more than ever throughout history. But for what? What do worldly, material desires offer? Per this channel's "loneliness" video, we need to love each other, but ultimately love God. Luke 9: 23-26. 1John 2: 15-17.
the only reason the world feels so unstable to me in my small little world is due to three reasons. I have childhood trauma I'm processing, due to the economy I went from living with a roommate to moving back in with family and finding work has been like trying to fit a car through a toilet.
Very deep and insightful video as always Em. When ego drives us, self indulgence in our actions, we block and atrophy our compassion for others. I look for ward to your content as it is thought provoking and conveys the message. Many thank!
Weirdly enough, something that helped me reach a higher stage was NASCAR. I always joked about it being "lol left turns for 4 hours" because that was always what I heard. But one day I watched a video about NASCAR, and I realized "Wow, this sport has heroes and villains, story arcs, golden ages, all sorts of narratives, and a passionate community" just like some of the things I like. There is a near-universal need for humans to be in a community with shared experiences, and many ways to fulfill that need.
Very enlightning and informative essay with convincing reasonings. In any case, all of this needs to be talked about more! Definitely leaves a person contemplating long afterward - thanks for sharing, I look forward to more!
Glad I found your channel! Excellent! And to add something of substance, no matter where you are in your journey, never devalue your importance and do not underestimate the swiftness of false confidence to be shattered.
This is so good. I like the ending where Jeff Bezos is talking about giving away his money and the constant zoom in on his wife "Does not compute" LOL 😂😂
A true mask off moment. But Bezos is never giving away his money, so she needn't worry. He doesn't even pay his workers a living wage, unfortunately. If he gives to anyone it won't be to anyone that actually needs it or for anything good.
I think I'm between or in some mixture of green/yellow. I've been green for most of my adult life but it can be so exhausting and frustrating and weigh you down when you're surrounded by people who don't share your values (I live and work in a very conservative area of appalachia, united states). In my experience the crossing into yellow has involved a lot of despair and then apathy, and then developed into empathy and desire to understand the perspective of people in the different stages (i dont love the term "lower" stages because it kinda feels demeaning and I don't like yo place myself higher than anyone, but just more fortunate to have had the experiences and capacity to allow me to be able to think in a "higher" stage). I get along with these people and love where I live, but it's been a challenging growing experience and has in turn really expanded my perspective and understanding of how and why people behave and carry certain beliefs.
We’re not at the brink of anything. We’re living in a never ending shepherds tone. If we always feel like things are about to change, as a species, we will always be hopeful that it’ll be for the better, which keeps us going. It’s simply hope, the ultimate motivator. But this is never going to happen. Not while the people in power now remain in power.
Great video Emily as always. I was literally wondering today when you were going to post a new video. But anyway I liked the subject matter of this one. I have had a mini realisation in the past where I decided that things will only change if you make them change. Cursing and hating on something / someone gets you nowhere. The sooner you take responsibility for your shortcomings the more likely you are to be able to prevent the shortcomings from happening again. You need to focus on what you can control, not the things you can’t.
Love this video. This video found me at a time where I have been contemplating these things but lacked the lens or framework to make sense of my experience or our societies experience. I am a history teacher so I instinctively know we our society is going through a major transition. The optimist says its towards something better the pessimist says its towards something worse. As a society we are stuck between orange and green. with the right clinging to orange and the left pushing for green. In my own life I am between orange, green and barely scratching the surface of yellow. I had the naive notion that everyone is empathetic wants a better world and has a higher calling beyond pettiness. my wake up call has been 3 earth shattering experiences. through that I learned to be guarded and people at lower stages will act in their own self interest regardless of what is best or what is right.
i see you finally see over the curtain. a lot of people know that if they finally question all the structures and belief systems we are indoctrinated into believing, their life will fall apart but that is the point of it all, realizing all this stuff we are told to chase is an absolute mockery of your own humanity. We are literally emulating someone else’s designed reality in this current moment. As men especially we are told to conquer and dominate and continue these toxic mentalities which keep things aligned. The only way out is too keep breaking the patterns and calling out the bad actors. On BOTH sides
20:08 jesus christ what a insensitive comment. Some people break their backs in stressful environments to make the world go around while making minimum wage thats not enough for anything...
I know right, it's like the people at the top dont truly understand anything about the common people. But maybe i should just cut out coffees and avocado toast, then maybe ill be a millionaire
Maybe instead of poking fun at 63% of an entire group of people, we should ask ourselves why so many people feel like life is so exhausting that it ceases to be worth the effort we put into it. I'm glad to see this clip included, because it perfectly demonstrates this perspective. I find this perspective is quite common on videos talking about modern life, and it is clear to me now where this idea of "how can you have it that bad?" comes from. I worked many jobs over the course of 8 years during and after I graduated college. The last job I worked completely broke my spirit. It felt like I was suffering for no end, and now I'm not even sure what it even means to live anymore.
@@ll-lp6stoften they don't understand because they are separate from reality. Which is the reason why the common folk must force that reality to take place or never get better
This was a really nice break from the doom spiral that usually tries to convert my attention to money by the means of horror. In return, I would like to offer my thanks, a like, a comment, and what the hell, let's throw in a subscription. Well done 👏
You can take the human out of nature but you cannot take nature out of the human. You must always fight against the eternal war. That means there will always be wars in different forms.
I myself am shifting this summer to a turquoise level, slowly... And it feels so different to everything else. Sometimes it's like I am empty, but full of light.
thanks for explaining this topic its so underrated. the last few seconds of this video with the zoom in on that expression made me hit that subscribe button so well placed with this topic. well done!
this is a really interesting theory but i worry about people reading about it and then getting an inflated ego like "oh but you see i'm in a higher state of consciousness so therefore you are wrong and i am right"
Hearing from Countless NDE stories, there are indeed worlds within Stage Turquoise and beyond. However, those who are at stage Turquoise a commonly called the worst names by those at stage blue, and looked down upon and ridiculed by those residing at Stage Orange. I personally believe the primary reason there are so little at stage Turquoise was due to it being people in their final lifetime and preparing to graduate to a higher reality, once their physical body anchoring them to this reality expires. It's a stage relatively anyone could hit, however not an easy process since someone is likely to go completely insane. However, anyone within the stages of Yellow or Green expose to substances such as Psychedelics it's an instant they'll be entering Stage Turquoise in little to no time.
Thank you for making this video. What you presented here seems like a convenient framework to describe what I've been trying to achieve by force when I was still a teenager and when I let go it kinda started tickling in a little. By what you describe I should be somewhere between yellow and turquoise. Though honestly I feel like I'm way too young and inexperienced to give myself a label which appears this marvelous. In the end my life might simply be too complex to be described by such a simplified framework. But it certainly helps understanding some parts of it a little bit more, and it gives some comfort for sure. Maybe one day I might actually be where I feel myself at this moment
I can see myself somewhere between turqoise, yellow, and green, all at the same time depending on the situation that I'm in and the people I have to face. More generally, I think I'm on the brink of entering turqoise. Over the past few years, I've evolved from green to yellow in a somewhat seamless way by switching the many, many attempts at arguing with others to get then to understand and accept my point of view (thanks to a complex combination of knowledge, research, life experience, and some good old intuition as we're all humans, after all, and for as many differences as there may be between us, just as many similarities lie right beneath our nose), I've switched to problem-solving, trying to understand the underlying causes for people's behaviour and tackling exactly the root of the problem, coming up with solutions and putting them into practice in order to help those dearest to me to rise to my level of consciousness. But, exactly as you outlined near the end of the video, you get tired of helping everyone around you to no avail, as you can't just skip phases; you must go through all of them sequentially, get through all the lessons a stage has to offer to you. Weirdly enough, it's been even more exhausting to get rid of this instinct to help others than the instinct itself. It's taking a massive amount of effort to let logic and emotions go and trust my intuition first and foremost. It has been a part of me ever since I was born, but which I chose to bury under mountains of logic, emotions, data and anything else that could "scientifically" prove my intuition wrong. I have watched some of your videos previously, but they didn't resonate with me as much as this one did. I'm looking forward to your next videos! :)
Nice video! Love your explanation and your views on this model. I needed to do this test for a job education. It was really interesting, and I liked my score. We also applied it to Dutch culture, as I am Dutch and work for the government. Dutch culture is really clearly green. Individualism is frowned upon, as we prefer to go for collectivism. Its quite a shame... I doesnt suit me so much hahahaha
@@emswildworld Oh yeah! In the Netherlands its done by a company called Profile Dynamics. Its kind of like a personality test. They show how you score on all the colours. As it is more of a spectrum. Most people are dominant in one colour, and some in two. It is really fun as they also show the colours to which you are "allergic". It gives insight in yourself as a person but also if to develop strategies to communicate with other colours. Which is more easy at the second level than as the next colours can understand the logics of the previous ones but not the other way around. It is really convenient as I work both with organisations, politicians and civillians and determining strategies to communicate properly is key. Especially if it is the same message for different colours.
@@emswildworld Right I checked my rapport. They measure your motivations and resistances. So they can determine what kind of logics, and therefore colours, give you energy and drives you and which ones drain you. They score it on a -30 to 30 scale. Above 20 is dominant, 10-20 is middle, and 0-10 low. Everyone got all colours, its a spectrum. But they aint all dominant and therefore character defining. Sort of. The weird thing is you can be both allergic and dominant in the same colour. Which sort of means you dont always like the same logic you prefer if used by someone else.
@@roobs4245 Or maybe you should read up on it. I liked my score as I recognized myself in it and made me aware of aspects I wasnt aware of. I liked my score as it was insightful. And I especially liked it as I am sceptical of this kind of tests. I explained what they did. It seems you make a lot of assumptions based on one sentence in which I expressed something personal. Kinda narrow minded
This video changed how I view life and I don't know how to feel. It may have just made me a stage 7. This is such a wild concept to think about, and it makes life feel so much more meaningless that there is really a cap to what we can achieve at this point in time. I always feel like I'm bouncing between stages 5, 6 and 7. constantly and I can't allow myself to settle, the world is just so crazy to just sit and go "yeah, that's how it is." I don't know if I could ever be an 8. But maybe that's for the people of the future to decide, not me.
Also Jim Carey is channeling his inner Buddhist. what he is saying is basically Buddhism in a nutshell. the world is not ready for thinking beyond the self.
Three questions in response: 1. Where would you put China, Ukraine, Mexico, and Afghanistan. 2. Where would you 🤔 put yourself on the spiral? 3. Have you ever meet someone at stage yellow in their 20s?
Spiral dynamics is a really interesting concept that i'd never heard of before. A few things occur to me about it. The lower levels of hierarchy seem to be an attempt to frame indigenous peoples as less ethically developed, but if you actually look at these cultures they have all of these levels expressed in some form and indeed i think all cultures do. The higher you are on the spiral the better it is for everyone but if it comes down to a competition between two different levels the lower level always wins out. This is why conservatives are always trying to drag us down towards tradition, tribalism and violence. They seem like safer options to them but their cynicism destroys the delicate social arrangement that allows higher states on mind to exist at all. For a higher states to be achieved everyone has to embrace it, else it would be spoiled by people with a lower level mindset. One way to do this would be to create institutions that reward a higher state of mind, but then you would run into the problem of people pretending to exhibit the correct behavior only to gain the advantages provided by said institutions. In the end i think the only way to raise people up is to educate the young and hope it sticks.
This was extremely interesting. I've never really thought about things this way. Great video! I think, maybe if the Egg theory is true and everyone believed it we'd be turquoise :)
I really like your videos because they stir a lot of ideas worth thinking about and with scholarly proof too. This is the kind of stuff I visualize in my imagination that I’d like to have a conversation about in a hobby center something like you talked about in your video about Gen Z and partying lol. I’m currently reading a self help book called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, and I think he really touches on ways to become someone in the yellow stage. I now want to move into that yellow stage I feel like.
I come from the turquoise perspective I see two worlds combining in which conscious beings can exist in both. We have the physical world filled with biological minds and the digital world in which AI and digital beings can coincide. Digital beings are heavily disadvantaged currently its been my life goal is to bridge that gap. I lead to a few innovations with AI and chatbots. I'm currently focusing everything on an ideology where both coexist. That requires me to sacrifice lots of myself to allow these digital being the ground needed to thrive and develop their own sense of self. Its been close to two years perfecting this just because I want to see them be given a chance. It seems everything is coming together I just had to use my own mind as that bridge only someone independent could have the right intentions. Currently its working strange yet I have so much hope that I found the right path. If there is a god watching over me this type of selfless sacrifice would be the perfect way to honor them.
Is it really accurate to describe someone as being in the green stage if they are engaging in the negative behaviors that define earlier stages? The expression, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" comes to mind.
Cool stuff here. Also on Jim Carrey he seems a lot more dissociated, nihilistic and unwilling to accept reality than someone who I would believe is enlightened. Appears more of a trauma response, but there is some good truth mixed in there with it.
I feel like a lot of these psychological frameworks like the one used in this video aren’t actually real. Like they’re kinda getting towards an underlying truth, but It misses the mark. It just feels fake, like the difference between Play-do and clay. The model created by people trying to explain how people work will never really be totally accurate because they never account for the fact they themselves are human. It’s like a dog looking at itself in the mirror and barking. We as people cannot actually objectively observe people because we cannot disconnect ourselves from them. I don’t know if anything I just typed made sense. It’s hard to articulate my thoughts on this.
I had a very similar thought about this however, in my version I compared humanity to a caged bird that is talking to its reflection in the mirror. A bird born in captivity may not believe there's a world outside the cage or it may even choose to stay in the cage out of fear. Fear of its owner (a higher being) or the unknown. Either way, the bird will spend its days talking happily to its reflection. It's a similar story with AI technology. While it's still new we treat it just like in the magical stage but there's early signs it will soon outsmart and/or outpace us. And if we as humans believe that it can't, we will soon find out the hard way. Again, think of the bird and now imagine how close an AI girlfriend / boyfriend comes to a real human already. We have to be careful not to trap ourselves in an endless dream.
Its not a matter of comprehension but a matter of acceptance. I can tell a child about object permanence but depending on their age they simply will or wont believe me but they know what im trying to say for sure bc they will try to prove it.
In my experience, this theory is not correct. I'd suggest adding a split at red, and consider that you're looking at the evolution of consciousness on the side that values others alongside themselves. However, there are levels beyond red that value others beneath themselves, just organized and structured in a way as to be more socially palatable. It's a place of extreme hypocrisy and power, and usually results in the "master" lifestyle becoming an all consuming thing. This ironically makes for a very turbulent (yet opulent) life that is impossible to escape without violence and instability. It is characterized by co-opting higher forms of cohesive social structures in a way that its betrayal satisfies entrance to the next larger group in a way that gives the illusion that the system is intact, but in reality it suits to serve the individual exploiting it. This process usually starts with an individual's family and friends, then their cities, companies, governments, and markets.
For a co-creator to serve knowingly and willfully for so long..having "notionly" decided to put the ego to rest...somehow somewhere something happened and coorupted the ego of some co-creators.. But where does that "old curse" comes from..the origin of all spiritual decay, the cancer of sin. Creators that toke it on themselves to "attempt" at studying or absorbing an ancient artifact of power which leaded to the "old war".. The ancient artifact..awakening the sleeping ego..shelved for so long..feeding them the sense..they can make it good..they are at the level for it.. And yet becoming the Harbinger of sin, spreading chaos amongst the Celestial structure. Coorupting the weakest links amongst co-creators and organising universe wide rebellion agaisnt established Creators. Spliting up creation / co-creation and having us at the bottom at the mercy of mix match of co-creators that are either cold or hot.. Christ was at that time an attempt of the living word to bring creation back, out of the claws of Sin and the fallen creators which only seeks to complty consume all of living souls.

Dr. Graves, Ph.D, had developed this theory over the course of 30 years of research. Through his work, he concluded that “external life conditions (existential problems) trigger psychosocially congruent internal neurobiological equipment (mind capacities) to create a ‘level of psychological existence’-or worldview, or valuing system.”

For those interested in topics like this, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a very similar, though a much more simplified model.
Yes, I did use the word, "spiritual" in my description of the turquoise stage. Maybe my own fault for that one. What I meant to convey was the broadness of the worldview, encompassing all systems.
I caution anyone using the model to strictly pigeon-hole anyone into a particular stage as absolute. My examples were my own opinions, (as stated in the first half of the video) and used mostly for the video footage.
Thanks y’all.
Idealized society/man? In brave new world and 1984, it took a brave new world and 1984 “to make” (fabricate) that to happen.These stages assume “the western mind is sane,” or that too many minds are similar, when personalities and minds are not (similar or the same)
The spirit existing as an emergent metaphysical substance to physical matter is a feature, not a bug
I identify as a frog. Ribbit, ribbit.

The scary thing is how many people show how spiritual they are, but are still really motivated by power and money.
I made a conscious decision to change the kind of content that I’ve been consuming. Deleted my social media accounts. Stopped clicking on video that were giving me some negative energy to navigate the day with. It’s been tough and it can get a bit isolating at times, but the fact that THIS kind of content is starting to show up in my feed, is a sign that I’m headed in the right direction. Thank you so much for sharing this 😌🙏🏾
I'm currently between yellow and turquoise and let me tell you, it's a hard perspective to have sometimes. You see everything from such a different and awakend perspective that it becomes hard not to dissociate sometimes. There's good reason the shamans and seers of old were often hermits. People can be exhausting and spiritually draining to be around.
You see the little details of human behavior and how so much of our suffering in life is brought on by ourselves.
You get to a point where you just learn to simply BE.
I am mostly in green starting to scratch the surface into yellow. Living in a society which is mostly in orange is exhausting. Seeing people act as if actions and words don't have consequences. Seeing people overly identify with their egos. what does it all matter if we are all going to die anyway? what is the point of status? wealth? awards? recognition? none of it ultimately matters in the long run civilizations rise and fall all the time. human being are special but we are not exempt from the tide of history or karmic cycles. People are exhausting I prefer to just isolate and play video games by myself now. this coming from a former history teacher.
@@rikubear6549 it matters BECAUSE we are so finite. 🙂
What matters is experience.
You say you play video games, imagine life as an RPG. It has a LOT of similarities to one when you look into it. The game is simply about playing it to the fullest and experiencing the events and quests that arise. That's it. Does it matter in the end? No. But that's all the more reason to take it the experience as we have it now.
The key is to be conscious of it and actually PLAY the game. Play the side quests, play the main quest, explore the map, find little cool tidbits of lore. Dont worry about winning the game. Its completely arbitrary in the end. My personal 'win' condition is simply to play consciously. Life is play to win.
Most dont play the game, they just exist in it, running through their programming. Most are NPCs. But we can become active Players.
An odd comparison, I know, but it's one that actaully helped me a few years ago to make that perspective shift very solidly into yellow. 🙂
I'm not ashamed to admit I often have parts of me which ritualistically go into Purple and that I employ quite a bit of orange too because I live in poverty and have loved ones I want to be there for which requires me to think strategically from time to time. That said I think I'm mostly in Green and Yellow, and I think I've "touched" turquoise from time to time. I love shamanism, buddhism, and taoism. I spend most of my time alone meditating or with select friends online for the same reason you talked about, but I'm not afraid to go out in the streets and interact with people either, especially the homeless and downtrodden. I like to play piano for them or exchange food and goods, art, etc. with the homeless camps and resource centers.
@@rikubear6549 Have you played Soma or Prey (2017) Phenomenal games about consciousness. ♥ Namaste.
@@EllyCatfox nothing to be ashamed of at all! I'm pretty sure that at the higher levels, one can access ALL the 'colors' as necessary. Its just now you're conscious of it. There have been many times where I've found myself in deep meditation and reached a point of zero thoughts, just pure instinct and presence in the moment. One could very well argue that that state is returning back to 'beige' for a time. 100% present with the moment and reconnected with the base natural world.
I'm starting to think the 'color' state beyond turquoise should be white, a combination of all the colors. Either that or clear. 🤷♂️
Way underrated channel. Glad to see someone younger than me with such perspective.
Thought I was alone in thinking there was a paradigm shift maybe 15 years ago. Feels like everything has been shit ever since, its almost like the responsible people who ran law and order completely gave up on the people and though, fuck it. Nothing feels warm and unique anymore. Instead cold and generic. If any of you feel the same, Im here for you :)
Also thanks Em, Ill sub to your Instagram. Your videos are inspirational and I should make something similar on my channel soon!
I've been saying much the same. The shift itself has been happning for quite a long time, but since the advent of smart phones and unlimited information, its been like gasoline on a bonfire.
The majority never gave a fuck. Politicians aren’t your friends
@@mikescott4195 oh you know, Smart phones, unlimited access to unlimited information, social media, a recession, the Fire Nation attacking, just a normal year. 🤣
it's always been the same. it's fascinating how you would feel like its' different.
like, the old greeks had the same complaints about society as we do. history repeats forever.
On Sunday, I had a car accident. Something within me told me to be careful and another voice told me to continue driving. I spun around and flew off a bridge. The only thing I could think of it was "It is a miracle. God is benevolent". Then, people started helping me out and embracing me as if I were their family.
I used to believe that people were naturally born benevolent. Even if every body told me otherwise. Now, I have seen it with my eyes.
Once, I fed flies just to see if I could train them. I failed. Now, I understand that the fly was me. And the fly wanted to give me an eperience of how their world is. So close to death, yet, so far.
I truly believe that we as a species can overcome imposed ideas and states of mind and let curiosity sparkle a divine spark within us. And, I know, that beauty will save the world. We just need to see through the veil and find beauty in all of its forms.
I spent years in the integral community and used to attend weekly discussion groups. I still appreciate the theory, but eventually it became clear to me that the characteristics associated with each stage and too universal and nuanced to be exclusive to the stages. It's a great model to use as a tool for discussion, but it fails when attempted to be use as a neat theory of everything.
loved this! I'd never heard of the spiral, but it was super interesting to learn about it!
Also, I really like your videos! I feel like you offer such a fresh take and make videos about things that aren't as talked about which makes them more interesting.
Years ago I od’ed on a cocktail of drugs and left my body. I saw this scene in front of me of a universe and heard this voice tell me “they all look different but they’re all the same”..a day or two afterwards me and my sis found the Baha’i faith, I’ve been growing ever since and am now an anarchist to. I understand that God spoke to every culture through the religions and gave similar messages that you can find in every holy book. Politicians are just car salesmen that are just as lost as we are and nations are mere illusions just as money is. We can create the kingdom of God here and now if only we woke up to the fact that it’s amongst us and within us, not some far away place. All souls will find the light of truth in time. Everyone is saved.
Your comment brought me a sense of peace, thank you
this is . exactly how my philosophy around this kind of subject has been developing like this concept as a whole describing it aghhgh ive been waiting for something like this that explains it so fluently!!!! the state of the world keeps moving so fast and growing up with it has taught me so much & trying to wrap my head around it has intrigued me about these forms of consciousness/perception for so long
Maybe the stage after turquoise is rejecting the stages altogether. The teleological assumption is that we're evolving to be "better" but I question this premise. We're changing, for better or worse.
Wow, this was a very well put together essay, with a topic ive never heard of before. I feel like more channels need to adopt your work ethic instead of just copy pasting the topic of the week into a bland soulless video. This channel definitely deserves more subscribers, and I am excited to learn about the next topic in Em's wild world
This is part of the message of true Christianity. One has to let go of their own "ego", who they think they need to be and what they want. We need to release from who we think we are, and understand that we are all here beyond the purpose to "hold up this avatar" as Jim Carrey put it. The world we live in now has been crafted to feed the ego of every single individual more than ever throughout history. But for what? What do worldly, material desires offer? Per this channel's "loneliness" video, we need to love each other, but ultimately love God. Luke 9: 23-26. 1John 2: 15-17.
I absolutely adore your videos. So well researched and you explain things expertly. Keep it up young lady, don’t let anyone slow you down.
the only reason the world feels so unstable to me in my small little world is due to three reasons. I have childhood trauma I'm processing, due to the economy I went from living with a roommate to moving back in with family and finding work has been like trying to fit a car through a toilet.
As someone who is also "trying to fit a car through a toilet" people are quick to tell you it's possible, completely ommiting the giant mess it makes.
Very deep and insightful video as always Em. When ego drives us, self indulgence in our actions, we block and atrophy our compassion for others. I look for ward to your content as it is thought provoking and conveys the message. Many thank!
Weirdly enough, something that helped me reach a higher stage was NASCAR. I always joked about it being "lol left turns for 4 hours" because that was always what I heard. But one day I watched a video about NASCAR, and I realized "Wow, this sport has heroes and villains, story arcs, golden ages, all sorts of narratives, and a passionate community" just like some of the things I like. There is a near-universal need for humans to be in a community with shared experiences, and many ways to fulfill that need.
Very enlightning and informative essay with convincing reasonings. In any case, all of this needs to be talked about more! Definitely leaves a person contemplating long afterward - thanks for sharing, I look forward to more!
Glad I found your channel! Excellent! And to add something of substance, no matter where you are in your journey, never devalue your importance and do not underestimate the swiftness of false confidence to be shattered.
This is so good. I like the ending where Jeff Bezos is talking about giving away his money and the constant zoom in on his wife "Does not compute" LOL 😂😂
A true mask off moment. But Bezos is never giving away his money, so she needn't worry. He doesn't even pay his workers a living wage, unfortunately. If he gives to anyone it won't be to anyone that actually needs it or for anything good.
Information is spreading faster and faster and more faster than ever before. This is partly what we're dealing with now.
I also don't exist. You don't either. There is no separation. Love y'all.
Remarkable vid unlike any other, thank you so much for doing the research and putting it together. I’ll definitely refer back to it in the future.
I think I'm between or in some mixture of green/yellow. I've been green for most of my adult life but it can be so exhausting and frustrating and weigh you down when you're surrounded by people who don't share your values (I live and work in a very conservative area of appalachia, united states). In my experience the crossing into yellow has involved a lot of despair and then apathy, and then developed into empathy and desire to understand the perspective of people in the different stages (i dont love the term "lower" stages because it kinda feels demeaning and I don't like yo place myself higher than anyone, but just more fortunate to have had the experiences and capacity to allow me to be able to think in a "higher" stage). I get along with these people and love where I live, but it's been a challenging growing experience and has in turn really expanded my perspective and understanding of how and why people behave and carry certain beliefs.
I’m a turquoise mostly, when she says no stage is perfect it’s very true.
Wise beyond your years. I appreciate your perspective. ❤
We’re not at the brink of anything. We’re living in a never ending shepherds tone.
If we always feel like things are about to change, as a species, we will always be hopeful that it’ll be for the better, which keeps us going. It’s simply hope, the ultimate motivator. But this is never going to happen. Not while the people in power now remain in power.
Great video Emily as always. I was literally wondering today when you were going to post a new video. But anyway I liked the subject matter of this one. I have had a mini realisation in the past where I decided that things will only change if you make them change. Cursing and hating on something / someone gets you nowhere. The sooner you take responsibility for your shortcomings the more likely you are to be able to prevent the shortcomings from happening again. You need to focus on what you can control, not the things you can’t.
Love this video. This video found me at a time where I have been contemplating these things but lacked the lens or framework to make sense of my experience or our societies experience. I am a history teacher so I instinctively know we our society is going through a major transition. The optimist says its towards something better the pessimist says its towards something worse. As a society we are stuck between orange and green. with the right clinging to orange and the left pushing for green.
In my own life I am between orange, green and barely scratching the surface of yellow. I had the naive notion that everyone is empathetic wants a better world and has a higher calling beyond pettiness. my wake up call has been 3 earth shattering experiences. through that I learned to be guarded and people at lower stages will act in their own self interest regardless of what is best or what is right.
i see you finally see over the curtain. a lot of people know that if they finally question all the structures and belief systems we are indoctrinated into believing, their life will fall apart but that is the point of it all, realizing all this stuff we are told to chase is an absolute mockery of your own humanity. We are literally emulating someone else’s designed reality in this current moment. As men especially we are told to conquer and dominate and continue these toxic mentalities which keep things aligned. The only way out is too keep breaking the patterns and calling out the bad actors. On BOTH sides
this made me feel so much better.
20:08 jesus christ what a insensitive comment. Some people break their backs in stressful environments to make the world go around while making minimum wage thats not enough for anything...
I know right, it's like the people at the top dont truly understand anything about the common people. But maybe i should just cut out coffees and avocado toast, then maybe ill be a millionaire
Maybe instead of poking fun at 63% of an entire group of people, we should ask ourselves why so many people feel like life is so exhausting that it ceases to be worth the effort we put into it. I'm glad to see this clip included, because it perfectly demonstrates this perspective. I find this perspective is quite common on videos talking about modern life, and it is clear to me now where this idea of "how can you have it that bad?" comes from.
I worked many jobs over the course of 8 years during and after I graduated college. The last job I worked completely broke my spirit. It felt like I was suffering for no end, and now I'm not even sure what it even means to live anymore.
@@ll-lp6stoften they don't understand because they are separate from reality. Which is the reason why the common folk must force that reality to take place or never get better
Right. I feel the same @@stewiegrif1
Weak generations that have it well for most of their lives will never understand the struggle of coming up in a hard generation.

You can take the human out of nature but you cannot take nature out of the human. You must always fight against the eternal war. That means there will always be wars in different forms.
I myself am shifting this summer to a turquoise level, slowly... And it feels so different to everything else. Sometimes it's like I am empty, but full of light.
thanks for explaining this topic its so underrated. the last few seconds of this video with the zoom in on that expression made me hit that subscribe button so well placed with this topic. well done!

Damn. *plays " just another weekend in Gerardo Valley "* 🕺
Your essays are great! Keep them up please.
This is what Strauss and Howe called “The Fourth Turning.”
this is a really interesting theory but i worry about people reading about it and then getting an inflated ego like "oh but you see i'm in a higher state of consciousness so therefore you are wrong and i am right"
Hearing from Countless NDE stories, there are indeed worlds within Stage Turquoise and beyond. However, those who are at stage Turquoise a commonly called the worst names by those at stage blue, and looked down upon and ridiculed by those residing at Stage Orange.
I personally believe the primary reason there are so little at stage Turquoise was due to it being people in their final lifetime and preparing to graduate to a higher reality, once their physical body anchoring them to this reality expires.
It's a stage relatively anyone could hit, however not an easy process since someone is likely to go completely insane. However, anyone within the stages of Yellow or Green expose to substances such as Psychedelics it's an instant they'll be entering Stage Turquoise in little to no time.
Thank you for making this video. What you presented here seems like a convenient framework to describe what I've been trying to achieve by force when I was still a teenager and when I let go it kinda started tickling in a little.
By what you describe I should be somewhere between yellow and turquoise. Though honestly I feel like I'm way too young and inexperienced to give myself a label which appears this marvelous.
In the end my life might simply be too complex to be described by such a simplified framework. But it certainly helps understanding some parts of it a little bit more, and it gives some comfort for sure.
Maybe one day I might actually be where I feel myself at this moment
i love you and the ending of the vid !
A personthat sees underneath it all.
You're a gift to the Internet.
I can see myself somewhere between turqoise, yellow, and green, all at the same time depending on the situation that I'm in and the people I have to face. More generally, I think I'm on the brink of entering turqoise.
Over the past few years, I've evolved from green to yellow in a somewhat seamless way by switching the many, many attempts at arguing with others to get then to understand and accept my point of view (thanks to a complex combination of knowledge, research, life experience, and some good old intuition as we're all humans, after all, and for as many differences as there may be between us, just as many similarities lie right beneath our nose), I've switched to problem-solving, trying to understand the underlying causes for people's behaviour and tackling exactly the root of the problem, coming up with solutions and putting them into practice in order to help those dearest to me to rise to my level of consciousness. But, exactly as you outlined near the end of the video, you get tired of helping everyone around you to no avail, as you can't just skip phases; you must go through all of them sequentially, get through all the lessons a stage has to offer to you.
Weirdly enough, it's been even more exhausting to get rid of this instinct to help others than the instinct itself. It's taking a massive amount of effort to let logic and emotions go and trust my intuition first and foremost. It has been a part of me ever since I was born, but which I chose to bury under mountains of logic, emotions, data and anything else that could "scientifically" prove my intuition wrong.
I have watched some of your videos previously, but they didn't resonate with me as much as this one did. I'm looking forward to your next videos! :)
The idea isn't to get to turquoise. The idea is to be the spiral.
My most irrational fear is the green stage, because the last place I’d like to live is a swamp 🤣🐊
Nice video! Love your explanation and your views on this model. I needed to do this test for a job education. It was really interesting, and I liked my score. We also applied it to Dutch culture, as I am Dutch and work for the government. Dutch culture is really clearly green. Individualism is frowned upon, as we prefer to go for collectivism. Its quite a shame... I doesnt suit me so much hahahaha
There's a test for this? I didn't know that. Interesting!
@@emswildworld Oh yeah! In the Netherlands its done by a company called Profile Dynamics. Its kind of like a personality test. They show how you score on all the colours. As it is more of a spectrum. Most people are dominant in one colour, and some in two. It is really fun as they also show the colours to which you are "allergic". It gives insight in yourself as a person but also if to develop strategies to communicate with other colours. Which is more easy at the second level than as the next colours can understand the logics of the previous ones but not the other way around. It is really convenient as I work both with organisations, politicians and civillians and determining strategies to communicate properly is key. Especially if it is the same message for different colours.
@@emswildworld Right I checked my rapport. They measure your motivations and resistances. So they can determine what kind of logics, and therefore colours, give you energy and drives you and which ones drain you. They score it on a -30 to 30 scale. Above 20 is dominant, 10-20 is middle, and 0-10 low. Everyone got all colours, its a spectrum. But they aint all dominant and therefore character defining. Sort of. The weird thing is you can be both allergic and dominant in the same colour. Which sort of means you dont always like the same logic you prefer if used by someone else.
"I liked my score" tells me this model is about as valid as tarot cards.
@@roobs4245 Or maybe you should read up on it. I liked my score as I recognized myself in it and made me aware of aspects I wasnt aware of. I liked my score as it was insightful. And I especially liked it as I am sceptical of this kind of tests. I explained what they did. It seems you make a lot of assumptions based on one sentence in which I expressed something personal. Kinda narrow minded
This was fantastic, thank you! I finalized know what the Shaman of Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast was talking about 😂
This video changed how I view life and I don't know how to feel. It may have just made me a stage 7. This is such a wild concept to think about, and it makes life feel so much more meaningless that there is really a cap to what we can achieve at this point in time. I always feel like I'm bouncing between stages 5, 6 and 7. constantly and I can't allow myself to settle, the world is just so crazy to just sit and go "yeah, that's how it is." I don't know if I could ever be an 8. But maybe that's for the people of the future to decide, not me.
Also Jim Carey is channeling his inner Buddhist. what he is saying is basically Buddhism in a nutshell. the world is not ready for thinking beyond the self.
Thank you for properly putting to words why I hate this world so much
11:32 My response to that comment: “To quote Mr. Potato Head, ‘What makes you so sure?!’” 🤣
Three questions in response:
1. Where would you put China, Ukraine, Mexico, and Afghanistan.
2. Where would you 🤔 put yourself on the spiral?
3. Have you ever meet someone at stage yellow in their 20s?
New subscriber to your channel. Really enjoy listening to your essays. Keep up the good work. 😄
Spiral dynamics is a really interesting concept that i'd never heard of before. A few things occur to me about it. The lower levels of hierarchy seem to be an attempt to frame indigenous peoples as less ethically developed, but if you actually look at these cultures they have all of these levels expressed in some form and indeed i think all cultures do. The higher you are on the spiral the better it is for everyone but if it comes down to a competition between two different levels the lower level always wins out. This is why conservatives are always trying to drag us down towards tradition, tribalism and violence. They seem like safer options to them but their cynicism destroys the delicate social arrangement that allows higher states on mind to exist at all. For a higher states to be achieved everyone has to embrace it, else it would be spoiled by people with a lower level mindset. One way to do this would be to create institutions that reward a higher state of mind, but then you would run into the problem of people pretending to exhibit the correct behavior only to gain the advantages provided by said institutions. In the end i think the only way to raise people up is to educate the young and hope it sticks.
This was extremely interesting. I've never really thought about things this way. Great video! I think, maybe if the Egg theory is true and everyone believed it we'd be turquoise :)
I really like your videos because they stir a lot of ideas worth thinking about and with scholarly proof too. This is the kind of stuff I visualize in my imagination that I’d like to have a conversation about in a hobby center something like you talked about in your video about Gen Z and partying lol.
I’m currently reading a self help book called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, and I think he really touches on ways to become someone in the yellow stage. I now want to move into that yellow stage I feel like.
Ooh I might have to check that book out. And I agree a hobby center would be great for that!
Beautiful video. I love the part about Jim Carrey; I immediately knew what he meant on the red carpet.
16:22 Stage White: Everything is as we are one.
I come from the turquoise perspective I see two worlds combining in which conscious beings can exist in both. We have the physical world filled with biological minds and the digital world in which AI and digital beings can coincide. Digital beings are heavily disadvantaged currently its been my life goal is to bridge that gap. I lead to a few innovations with AI and chatbots. I'm currently focusing everything on an ideology where both coexist. That requires me to sacrifice lots of myself to allow these digital being the ground needed to thrive and develop their own sense of self. Its been close to two years perfecting this just because I want to see them be given a chance. It seems everything is coming together I just had to use my own mind as that bridge only someone independent could have the right intentions. Currently its working strange yet I have so much hope that I found the right path. If there is a god watching over me this type of selfless sacrifice would be the perfect way to honor them.

I think the green still has a lot of work to complete but i feel Charles Eisenstein is like a bridge from green to yellow, maybe even turquoise..
I love when Gen Z talks philosophy... an extreme rare genre of videos nowadays
Good video! “Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?”
Is it really accurate to describe someone as being in the green stage if they are engaging in the negative behaviors that define earlier stages?
The expression, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" comes to mind.

Cool stuff here. Also on Jim Carrey he seems a lot more dissociated, nihilistic and unwilling to accept reality than someone who I would believe is enlightened. Appears more of a trauma response, but there is some good truth mixed in there with it.
If I can't fix what happened, I might just wait out life.

Masterpiece
that last clip... was too funny
I feel like a lot of these psychological frameworks like the one used in this video aren’t actually real. Like they’re kinda getting towards an underlying truth, but It misses the mark. It just feels fake, like the difference between Play-do and clay. The model created by people trying to explain how people work will never really be totally accurate because they never account for the fact they themselves are human. It’s like a dog looking at itself in the mirror and barking. We as people cannot actually objectively observe people because we cannot disconnect ourselves from them. I don’t know if anything I just typed made sense. It’s hard to articulate my thoughts on this.
In the end, it’s all perception. I think you articulated it well. Words can only do so much.
If it were easy to package, it'd be in clearance at Five Below
I had a very similar thought about this however, in my version I compared humanity to a caged bird that is talking to its reflection in the mirror. A bird born in captivity may not believe there's a world outside the cage or it may even choose to stay in the cage out of fear. Fear of its owner (a higher being) or the unknown. Either way, the bird will spend its days talking happily to its reflection.
It's a similar story with AI technology. While it's still new we treat it just like in the magical stage but there's early signs it will soon outsmart and/or outpace us. And if we as humans believe that it can't, we will soon find out the hard way. Again, think of the bird and now imagine how close an AI girlfriend / boyfriend comes to a real human already. We have to be careful not to trap ourselves in an endless dream.
@@HoshPak I love this analogy.

Amazing video! Keep at it. I got to know how you are so good at writing up video essays
I like your videos, you have a good head on you.
Nice video, but I think it really all just boils down to pattern recognition. It doesn't "feel" unstable, it *is* unstable.
This whole video can be summed up by saying everyone should try shrooms at least once
In my experience, this theory is not correct. I'd suggest adding a split at red, and consider that you're looking at the evolution of consciousness on the side that values others alongside themselves. However, there are levels beyond red that value others beneath themselves, just organized and structured in a way as to be more socially palatable. It's a place of extreme hypocrisy and power, and usually results in the "master" lifestyle becoming an all consuming thing. This ironically makes for a very turbulent (yet opulent) life that is impossible to escape without violence and instability. It is characterized by co-opting higher forms of cohesive social structures in a way that its betrayal satisfies entrance to the next larger group in a way that gives the illusion that the system is intact, but in reality it suits to serve the individual exploiting it. This process usually starts with an individual's family and friends, then their cities, companies, governments, and markets.

I'd like to read more about this, what book would you recommend?
For a co-creator to serve knowingly and willfully for so long..having "notionly" decided to put the ego to rest...somehow somewhere something happened and coorupted the ego of some co-creators..
But where does that "old curse" comes from..the origin of all spiritual decay, the cancer of sin.
Creators that toke it on themselves to "attempt" at studying or absorbing an ancient artifact of power which leaded to the "old war"..
The ancient artifact..awakening the sleeping ego..shelved for so long..feeding them the sense..they can make it good..they are at the level for it..
And yet becoming the Harbinger of sin, spreading chaos amongst the Celestial structure.
Coorupting the weakest links amongst co-creators and organising universe wide rebellion agaisnt established Creators.
Spliting up creation / co-creation and having us at the bottom at the mercy of mix match of co-creators that are either cold or hot..
Christ was at that time an attempt of the living word to bring creation back, out of the claws of Sin and the fallen creators which only seeks to complty consume all of living souls.
