    Its amazing. In the second video he talks about how most of the people he talked to were transitioning from modern to post modern thinking were over 25. If this forum is any indication of whats to come there are people as young as 14 already with the power of now level...

    Thanks Miami. Good information.

    This man's journey is talking about life experiences that many people relate can to; as opposed to scientific psychiatric data. I think once again, showing us science does not have all the answers and medication is not needed by everyone.

    It is easy to relate the 7 levels of consciousness to the people on this site. Of course this makes for a whole new set of labels. And another cyclical experience. Roll in the 7s.
    The right choice is often the difficult one - the one that involves some sacrifice of pleasure.

    From what I can gather spiral dynamics is a theory of evolutionary stages applying to human concepts/ideas/information packets/memes that evolve. So considering the spiral continues up further and further there would have to be a whole range of levels still being researched for the purpose of projection into social systems.

    Dr. Graves used numbers and letters to describe the stages but colours are easier to understand (although apparently understanding the colours is only scraping the surface of the theory's complexity):

    http://www.spiraldynamics.org/Graves/colors.htm

    So yes, there are extra levels here for different memes and transitioning periods in between levels which need "wizards" to create leaps from level to level. I would describe the guy who made the videos as one of these SD "wizards". I would also think that as evolution continues the colours of each stage would be similar to the colours of the human chakras which continue on and on also.

    3rd Video in the playlist:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHwEM...ED7599&index=2

    "The power of now" or "just being" makes a lot of sense for healing any mental disorder. This video is so honest in explaining the experience of the person suffering and the simplicity of the solution.

    Check out bipolarorwakingup's youtube channel for more vids on bipolar disorder or the waking up process.

    I got to my path of enlightenment after being told that I was bipolar. I almost believed that I was, but I am not one to believe anything without checking everything out and seeing if their could be a different answer. I could not except that the voices and visions I had were mad up. They have told me things that were so accurate in stuff I should not know anything about. How could I be sick in the mind when I believed whole-heartedly that the mind could cure anything. In my independent research I discovered that our most famous literary works and works of art were created by artist having bipolar illness. I found that there was an obvious link between bipolar and creativity. I discovered so much, I could go on and on...long story short I realized that I was not bipolar, I was gifted. I do not take meds, and I have not had a relapse. When I stopped conforming to societies norms and started becoming self-actualized, I found pure happiness, contentment, and a more meaningful life then I could have ever imagined. My triggers, I have come to realize, come from those who just don't get it. At least now I know, so I don't let it bother me if others don't. I agree with everything in this video, it is what I came up with as my answer, and it was developed entirely on my own. I couldn't explain it to anyone because once you go up, you cannot go down. They do, however, take notice as I am better than I have ever been before!

    This is such a beautiful experience Thank you for sharing your story. I have a friend who still struggles with bipolar, another friend with OCD and another who recovered from psychosis.. I connect well mentally with all of them. There is a real understanding that consciousness exists on a level that can not be explained with psychiatry.

    The medical industry is going through a shift because people are picking up that it is a money making venture for big pharma. Time to take the power back

    We are new creative minds working through an old paradigm taking the stage for the developing renaissance:
