SPIRAL DYNAMICS • The Evolution of Human Consciousness
‘Colors’ of Consciousness • Not the differences between people, but the differences within people.
Spiral Dynamics: A Context for Communication • Clare Graves. • Don Beck & Chris Cowan. • Ken Wilber.
Never-ending Upward Spiral • ‘The Emergent, Cyclical, Double-Helix Model of Adult Biopsychosocial Systems Development.’ --Clare Graves
Unfolding Consciousness • ‘…An unfolding, emergent, oscillating, spiraling process, marked by progressive subordination of older, lower-order behavior systems to newer, higher-order behavior systems as our existential problems change.’ (Clare Graves)
Spiral Dynamics • The Eight-Stage Spiral of Development
Inclusive Emergence • Metaphor of the ‘Russian doll’. • Everything belongs… • Emergence from within.
Beige: Instinctive/Survivalist • Do what you must just to stay alive. • Food, water, warmth, sex and safety. • Survival bands to perpetuate life. • Distinct self barely awakened.
Purple: Magical/Animistic • Keep the spirits happy and the tribe’s nest warm and safe. • Individual subsumed into group. • Rituals of passage and magical spirituality.
Red: Impulsive/Egocentric • Be what you are and do what you want, regardless… • World as jungle. • Only the strong and aggressive survive. • Do unto others before they do it unto you.
Blue: Purposeful/Authoritarian • Life has purpose with predetermined outcomes. • Sacrifice self to the ultimate cause. • Control impulses for law/order and future reward.
Orange: Achievist/Strategic • Act in your own self-interest by playing game to win. • Promote progress by using earth’s resources and personal initiative.
Green: Communitarian/Egalatarian • Seek peace inwardly and build community. • Free human spirit from dogma, greed, and divisiveness. • Spirituality, collaboration, consensus.
Yellow: Integrative • Live fully and responsibly by respecting earth-systems. • Life as kaleidoscope of natural hierarchies, systems, and forms. • Spirituality higher than materialism.
Turquoise: Holistic • Experience the wholeness of existence thru mind and spirit. • Universe as living organism. • Holistic, intuitive thinking and cooperative spirit.
