Posted January 10, 2018 A book I can recommend is "Spiral Dynamics" by Beck and Cowan. It's probably a book worth investing in for you. https://www.amazon.com/Spiral-Dynamics-Mastering-Values-Leadership/dp/1405133562 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) http://www.integralworld.net/pdf/Reflections_SDi.pdf Stage Description tier 1 - gross Beige Express self for physiological survival Purple Sacrifice self to maintain the ways of old Red Express self impulsively at any cost without shame or fear Blue Sacrifice self for reward later Orange Express self for self-gain, but calculatedly Green Sacrifice self to get acceptance now tier 2 - subtle Yellow Express self with concern for, and not at the expense of, others Turquoise Sacrifice self to existential realities Coral Express without shame or guilt for evolution's sake Teal Sacrifice self to emerging existential potential Orange2 Express self awarely for Subtle self development Green2 Sacrifice self to get Subtle energy acceptance now tier 3 - causal... as i see coral is new red. its impulsive and spontaneous self-expression here and now without need to dominate others. coral is concerned with body, mental and spiritual evolution of his own with deep need to express it. and coral is very much serious about that. probs evolution of humanity is also big concern for coral. coral wants to have effect on evolution of humanity and has its own stance on this. probs it can have bad side-effects like rejecting 'under-developed' people who are 'bad' for evolution. teal is flying with flow, seeing big picture of universe flow. being child. concerning with global evolution and seeing where its heading and trying to fit into flow of evolution with accepting whatever will happen with others without need to change (unlike coral who needs to change it). orange2 and green2 are about own self-development as coral but without need to express. as i see its 100% about spiritual and mystical development. and this is speculation: people here are very mystical and magical. orange2 is black magicians. green2 is white magicians.

Got me interested to check out more of his stuff and read that Beck & Cowan book. (Now I'm mad at the person who invented the term "Spiral Dynamics", what a stupid term They should've stuck with Bio-Psycho-Social-Systems Approach to Human Cognition.)

Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Yellow turquoise are more about merging with current reality coral and teal are more about merging with current plus direction of future potential reality thats how I see it from article the guy claims he's coral Edited January 14, 2018 by Monkey-man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what brought me to asking around whether there are any substantial resources of theory or if some people just make up shit randomly, because it's always fancy to talk about EVEN HIGHER STAGES. I've read some of the early Clare Graves articles some time ago and his ideas seemed to me to have potential. So if they were developed further in any substantial way, I wanna know and look into that, that's all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 9, 2018 Wow this really took off. I’ve even came across stage teal too now which seems to go even deeper. I don’t know where the theory ends and people just making stuff up starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
