Hello Sam,

I don't know if you've heard about this youtube channel, actualized. I'm not sure if I should recommend it to you, because, well, it takes extreme an extreme openmind to see his videos, but I'm sure you could confirm plenty of ideas you've contemplated in your life from him.

Following actualized advice changed my mind and my whole worldview, I'm sure it could help you as well. I strongly recommend his series on ego development:

part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8fIhLDV3L4

part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGItuEai8vo

From what you've wrote you seem to be in an advanced stage, but again, I'm no expert to judge.

Maybe you already know Leo Gura's work! In that sense, I have nothing to share with you, but if you don't, god I cannot recommend you his channel enough. Just these 3 videos I linked to can reinforce or even expand your worldview so much.

So in my honest opinion, go ahead! If your book or book series is digestible enough, I could potentially be interested in reading it. There could be a lot of value in it, even if it doesn't reach such big audience like books from authors as Tony Robbins could. Most people won't even care about what you're trying to write, the yt links I posted (the first one specially) will explain why :).

If it's meaningful to you, and you've got a lovely partner that understands and supports you with that, go for it!

Hello! Thank you so much for your encouraging response and for sharing Leo Gura's work! I've only watched a bit of the videos and I'm already in love! I learned about Spiral Dynamics previously as well as a bunch of other developmental and personality models. I would be nothing like the person I am today without them! This looks awesome! Thank you!

I'm glad you're open to my ideas! And I definitely agree that most people won't get it, even if they did somehow read it. But I'm hoping I'll succeed in making it digestible and gentle enough that these ideas can at least stay in the back of people's minds, until they are ready later in life.

So glad I shared this. I'm surprised I'm still getting trailing upvotes here and there.

If you're interested and open to it, feel free to leave me a way to contact you (twitter, email, blog) so I can send you some drafts or whatnot. Or we can share some deep psychology stuff. :)

As a warning to my fellow HNers, my spider senses tingled when I clicked one of the links, so I researched a bit and found this:

Thanks for this, always appreciate diff perspectives! Thankfully I never totally follow any one single person/system of belief etc, but it's good to know for context. But yeah I can see how other people may become too devoted and start to get into crazy territory.
