A Deeper Dive: Spiral Dynamics
The Map
The spiral dynamic model of human development is one of the “maps” used in the design and results you will receive of “The Test” created and used to begin to locate your sector location in The Matrix.
It’s not the only map – we also integrated Piaget’s stages of development, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Suzanne Cook-Greuter’s along with other considerations. We utilized the color stage spiral because….well.. it is such a good map.
Spiral Dynamics Integral Theory is a Human Developmental model that encompasses all of human development and consciousness into 8 stages. The model was created by Don E. Beck and Christopher C. Cowan, and is based off the work Clare W. Graves had started.
The 8 stages are: Beige, Purple, Red, Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow, and Turquoise. Each stage represents a type of worldview, thought structure, and an overall rationale for decisions being made. Basically, each stage represents a sort of track that consciousness runs through.
The Why
As one moves up the spiral, they gradually take on a position of higher perspective, and gradually showcase a higher level of concern for all sentient beings. This model is important for one to learn as it represents a sort of roadmap that one follows as they self-develop.
If you are into spirituality, improving yourself, improving this world, and raising your awareness, this model is absolutely crucial to learn.
Where to Look
There is a lot of resources you can look at to deepen your understanding of this vital map. Youtube has several excellent presenters on the subject, all coming from a slightly different angle. Here is a YouTube video I found that is a really good overview:
