I want to share with you an insight about what is courage that I had a few days ago. Courage at its root is a result of a desidentification with your ego (body and mind). If you don't associate yourself with body and mind there's nothing to fear. Absolute courage is only attainable by full enlightenment. But in normal life we see people that are not enlightened but still have a lot of courage in them. That's because some people are more capable then other to desidentify with their ego in dangerous/challenging (not necessarily fisically, it can also be psicologically dangerous/challenging) situations. The more actualized and less egocentric is the person, the less this person fears. Give your thoughts on this little insight that I had.

I think it's better to remove reputation and ranks. That really makes me feel like I'm in a society (which it shouldn't feel like in my opinion). And it also adds a hierarchical and social element to it which I think is unnecessary and is making things worse. Good content will always be spotted because it's normally noticeable by the title.

I notice exactly the same thing. You described it very well. The most important thing is not to think that you're not interested in writing or that you're a bad writer.

Today I had a very weird experience that I want to share with you. Today I meditated using Leo's guided meditation and felt extraordinary sleepy during meditation. It felt like I was going to fall asleep if I continued to meditate but I still continued and suprisingly I didn't fall asleep (although sleepiness didn't go away). But when I finished meditating I realized that I'm not sleepy at all and weird shit started happening. My body felt very weak (as if I was ill) and I literally couldn't think. My head was just empty and felt as if there was a hurricane. Also I was in a state in which I never have been before in my life. It's hard to describe but it felt as if everything around me was a movie. I felt no emotions at all. I stared at everything around me because it felt so weird. This state lasted for about 30 min and then I came back to normal. I don't know if it was because of meditation or because of something that happened with the weather that made me feel so, but I have never experienced that. I doubt that it was a mystical experience because I didn't have any realization or a "aha!" moment and because it was rather negative than positive (felt rattled, my head was a mess and my body felt as if I was ill). Did somebody here experience anything similar and can someone explain what was that?

Did you get that from "Blade Runner" 1998?

I've been meditating 5-10 minutes every day for about a year (sometimes falling of course) but can't see any results. Is it normal or should I just meditate more? Because right now I don't think that 5-10 min per day are enough to get me anywhere.

But can meditation and reaching enlightenment be compared to a gym?

1) Because I meditate for just 5-10 minutes which I don't no if it's enough to get enlightened. But right now i'm thinking of getting rid of time completely. 2) I use "do nothing" technique 3) Before meditation I feel a bit forced to meditate (but not much really), during meditation I feel pretty calm and peaceful (sometimes hiperanoyed because of ego backlashes) and after meditation I feel more concious.

I've done that one. It's the best option But now I'm thinking "is time really important"? I think I should meditate until y feel that it's enough.

I think you're right. At least it should be 20 min and 1 hour would be perfect

That can be the case. Even though I don't follow time so strictly, I just wrote the medium time. But you're probably right that it's not always pleasurable for me to meditate. I think I should meditate without a timer because it distracts me.

It may very well be the case

Explain how government works in general and analyse specific governments of important countries like: USA, China, Russia and some of the european countries. That would be really cool to watch an episode like that because it would be very helpful to understand politics.

I'm not a person who wears glasses but I just wonder if its posible somehow for a person who does wear them to improve their vision and not need them anymore without any operation? Modern medicine tells us that its not posible but let's not forget that modern medicine wins millions of dolors from glasses industry and eye operations. So why would they tell people how to improve their vision without glasses if It's benefiting them? Give your thoughts on this.

Often times throughout the day I find myself in my lower self and this makes me unable to do some higher conciousness things like for example contemplation. All the times that I tried doing high conciousness things when I'm in my lower self have turned out into a failure. For example if I watch Leo's video when I'm in my lower self I don't understand what he is saying (because at this moment I don't care about it) and my desire to do something low conciousness increases even more. And then I have to wait till I naturally go into my higher self and only then I can work on myself. Any thoughts on how to transfer from lower self to higher self?

I find it really difficult to identify my stage on Spiral Dynamics. Any tips on how to do it?

What do you mean? You mean if my most important need is self-actualization? I try it to be this way and it often is but often my main needs are still belonging and love or esteem.

I've been meditating 10 min a day for a year now and now I sometimes feel sleepy during meditation. I'm not falling asleep but feels like I'm starting to dream and lose conciousness for about a second. First I thought that that's because I need some sleep/rest but today before meditating I was active and energetic but I still got sleepy during, after meditation. Any tips how to stay more awake?

I think what you're saying is true because last week I'm less curious then normal in my daily life. I used to be very curious and eager to watch your videos but now I'm kinda more pragmatic and just get bored while watching them. I understand the importance of watching these videos but I'm just not interested by them and feels like I would rather play some video games. Then I have to moralize to myself which never ends up well. Don't get me wrong I still am very curious and watch your episodes on a weekly bases, I'm just describing my GENERAL mood this week.

I'm meditating practising do nothing technique and last week I'm getting saliva problems. While I meditate my mouth salivates like crazy and when there is to much saliva in my mouth I have to either swallow it (and break my focus) or let it just pour out of my mouth which is disgusting and distracts me even more. Someone who had the same problem do you recommend swallowing it or just ignoring it, letting go and letting it pour out of my mouth? The only thing that makes me don't want to swallow is that I'm not doing nothing when I do it and I'm kind of not doing the technique correctly. P.S. Is this a rare or a common problem in meditation practices?

1)In which European country is it legal? Is it legal in Spain (its important for me because I live in Spain)? 2)Where can I buy it? 3)Which dose to take for a beginner?

Didn't know that.

On what stage of Spiral Dynamics is Putin and all Russia in general? As a russian this question bothers and interests me a lot. I already have some guesses but I'm not sure...

Do a video about nostalgia. Explain why it happens, what is it and how to deal with it. It bothers a lot of people and I think it would be an interesting topic.

Извините что отвечаю так поздно. Находился в месте где нет инета. Да я из России.
