Spiral Dynamics Needs

[Preety_India]

 

I don't know how to word this question. 

This thought just popped in my head, that all stages of spiral dynamics are equally important. And something from each stage can be integrated into life. 

I think that at each stage, we can have needs pertaining to that stage. 

I can't think of specific needs. But it would be nice if y'all can add some. 

 

Stage beige needs 

Survival

Skills 

 

Stage purple needs 

Community needs 

Basic needs 

Not sure what to add here. 

 

Stage Red needs 

Ego needs 

Not sure what needs I can include here. 

Stage Blue needs 

Morality 

Foundation

Structure 

Balance 

 

Stage Orange needs 

Achievement 

Reward 

Learning

Skills 

 

Stage green needs 

Morality 

Egalitarian 

Unification 

Activism 

Democratic needs 

Ecosystem needs 

Stage yellow needs 

Understanding 

System based 

Different models 

Integrating different models 

Pragmatic solutions 

 

 

Stage turquoise needs 

Perspective change 

Structure versus content 

 

 

What more needs can you add to the above list? Input appreciated.

@neutralempty  I wanted unique individual input from users on here. 

Unique things they think about each stage they wish to integrate in life. 

But thanks for the share. 

 

[Preety_India]

@neutralempty me too. I don't know how to word it. 

But it's okay. I mean to enlist different needs from all stages that are useful in life. 

Hope that clears.

@neutralempty

Um. Okay 

Let me rephrase the question. 

How should we integrate all stages of Spiral Dynamics in our lives in a healthy way to fulfill our needs?

 

Like what needs will each stage fulfill in a healthy way.

I can write a book on this! Thanks for the book idea

@Parththakkar12 ok

Recognize the limitations of this model, then let it go. Astrology is tied to the external on a multidimensional level, it’s  not necessary to follow but is always being used in our own ways so it benefits more than this purely psychological one as it hits on the essence of reality: energy, frequency and vibration

@DrewNows can you elaborate further, It flew over my head like a cuckoo.

We liberate ourselves and others by not creating these boxes, encourage the reflections we wish to see by probing others to go inward. The journey is always taken inward to produce what’s needed outward. It’s a process of developing greater and greater levels of self trust (empowerment)

@DrewNows good fodder for me to chew on 

I can see how you think about this.

@Preety_India

The list of things to do and integrate is very huge, but that's what came to my mind in the moment.

Happy to help.
