The spiral of human development

Writer's picture: Amy PowerAmy Power


The journey of finding our way. I want to settle into the natural rhythm of what is and what remains to be seen. 


Max Borders introduced me to the eight stages of the spiral of human development. It shows the relationship with various factors in our culture and the complexities in our lives. 


  1. Beige: Order of the Naked: Survival, Sensation, and Self-Concept

  2. Purple: Order of the Moon: Clan, Ancestors, and Nature

  3. Red: Order of the Fist: Courage, Honor, and Egoism

  4. Bue: Order of the Pyramid: God, Morality, and Authority

  5. Orange: Order of the Sun: Science, Commerce, and Reason

  6. Green: Order of the Leaf: Environment, Consensus, and Equality

  7. Yellow: Order of the Nautilus: Integration, Emergence, and Complexity

  8. Turquoise: Order of the Lotus: Holism, Paradox, and Ineffability 


These insights and values bring clarity as I am pondering human nature. 


As I am finding my way, courage is my compass as I take a long, slow deep breath and go within. 


In light,

Amy
