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.

Give your thoughts here on who was the most remarkable spiritual teacher in the history of humanity.

I always thought that he is on stage red. He looks like a warlord and he does whatever it takes to get what he wants. He's a bit like a dictator. I agree that Russia is moving from stage blue to stage orange. But what really freaks me out is that why we are having one of the worst leaders when we are not the worst people. We are normal people but we have a very bad president. Why? Почему?!

Didn't know about hero's journey. Thanks for telling!

I mean is it a metaphor for enlightenment?

Nah it's about being curious about yourself and asking questions so you can better understand yourself.

Some monks live in a cave to detach themselves from all the distractions of the modern world but I wonder how do they survive there? It's interesting because they don't have shops to buy food or water. Do they hunt??? Well that's just a bit of curiosity. What interests me REALLY is what I will write below. I've heard that some monks are able not to eat or drink at all. Can it be true that when you get FULLY enlightened you don't need food or water anymore?!?! Can that be the answer to how they are able to survive in the cave for so long???

Can you give examples of those people? Shiva? Jesus? Mohammed?

But do you think It's possible to live without food, water or even air as some claim? Seems completely unrealistic but what is reality but an illusion... Maybe Shiva was this kind of yogi.
