How long does it take to transcend a stage?

[Andreas]

How long does it take to move up to another stage in Spiral Dynamics? I think that the higher up in the spiral you are, the longer it takes to evolve to something deeper. Im interested in evolving to green, yellow and maybe turquoise. Im in orange at the moment. 

Also, if anyone have some tips to speed up the process i would really appreciate that.

It depends on how fast you grow.  If you’re growing fast, you’ll switch stages much quicker than someone who isn’t growing or who is on a plateau.

[Leo Gura]

This is like asking how long does it take to earn a million dollars?

For most people. Never! Because it's not a function of time, it's a function of doing the right practices.

You cannot become a millionaire by doing what you've always been doing. You must do something new. And then it can happen quickly.

@Andreas Why do you want to move up the stages?

So i can be more happy

@Andreas Do things, unconditionally, even anonymously, for other people. Do not accept anything in return.

Because Leo has told him that successful people are not happy. And he "bought" into it.

Development is not about happiness. Sometimes you will get very depressed on your way up. Moving up the spiral is about growing up, growing up is painful 

Some successful people are happy, some aren't.

I watched that video, but what really made me want to transcend orange is some other problems i had. I think once you become more conscious, you become happier. At least from all the lower stages and up to this point. Nobody would be doing this work just to ‘grow up’.

but there is always a downside to everything. Even enlightenment has a downside because it is only part of the equation, waking up. 

This is a big problem for me, i don’t want to feel so alone walking around the world filled with unconscious robots walking around and not have a real connection to anyone. Maybe that’s why we are unconscious. To feel connected.

Meditation, yoga, and psychedelics are some of the most consistent tools for leaping up the Spiral.

Research shows that people who meditate end up jumping 2 stages higher than wherever they started in a few years.

Here’s a good sign that you’ve gone up a stage: All your old beliefs and values shift to new beliefs and values.
