I have issues with this. Mostly the supreme part. I am a massive anti supremecist in all its forms even in the for where the word is apparrently being used for good. Nothing good comes from a supreme mindset.

Can you be clear, first, besides the supreme part.... what else you have issues with?

The word "supreme" is an adjective that generally means:

1. Highest in rank or authority: Possessing the greatest power or status in a hierarchy.

2. Of the highest quality or degree: Superior to all others; the utmost or extreme.

3. Final or ultimate: Serving as the last or concluding element.

Which implementation of Supreme do you feel is being weilded here in the article?

Food for thought:

The usage of "THE SUPREME" in the article appears in a developmental context, specifically in a sequence of stages (Clear Light → Being Nature → BEING SOURCE → THE SUPREME) describing potential stages of consciousness development beyond Turquoise in developmental theory.

From a grammatical and semantic perspective, the usage of 'supreme' as meaning "final or ultimate: serving as the last or concluding element" is entirely reasonable and logically consistent with how the term is used in the article for several reasons:

It appears as the final stage in a sequence, suggesting a concluding or ultimate state

The article's context is developmental theory, not supremacy ideology. The capitalization pattern (similar to other stage names) suggests it's being used as a technical term rather than an ideological statement.

Looking at it objectively, your interpretation appears to be reading a meaning into the text that isn't supported by the actual content and context. The article clearly uses "THE SUPREME" as a technical term for a final developmental stage in a theoretical framework about consciousness evolution - it's literally just describing the last stage in a sequence.

Your reaction seems to be an emotional response triggered by the word itself, rather than an analysis of how it's actually being used in the text. While I can understand why the word might trigger such a reaction given its historical misuse, that doesn't make your interpretation accurate to what the article is actually saying or meaning.

It's similar to how words like "master" in "master's degree" or "supreme" in "Supreme Court" have specific technical meanings that are completely separate from any connotations of supremacy ideology. Context determines meaning, and in this context, "THE SUPREME" is clearly being used to denote finality/ultimacy in a developmental sequence, not to promote any form of supremacism.

So while we I empathize with the emotional reaction, from a purely logical and textual analysis perspective, your interpretation isn't aligned with the actual usage and meaning in the article.
