Spiral Dynamics: Blast Off

So, The 5th “Phase” in The Five Step Process of Growth, Change, Transformation, Development….etc can be described as the fruit, the result, the score, the product, the manifestation……etc…

From a, let’s say, business project managementy kind of perspective it could be described as the “Managing Outcome Phase” or “Tracking Results/Achievement.”

From a “Tree of Life” Perspective it is Malchut or Kingdom or Sovereignty.

Before we move on from the spiral dynamics map and onto something else allow me to summarize…….It’s a map. The map is not the territory. The Territory is Dharma.

The next map I will be posting about is The Vipassana Meditation Technique and The Philosophy behind it. I am going to read the book “The Art of Living: Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Gloenka”. Author is William Hart. I will be creating essentially an audio book.

What the Buddha recognized while sitting under a tree in his pursuit of finding a solution to the problem of suffering was that everything is ablaze in the process of transformation. In fact, at the quantum level, particles are arising and passing away at great rapdity. Apparently at a rate of of 10 to the 20 million times per second. That’s fast and the result of this “speed of process” is that it appears permanent. This is the illusion; The permanent appearance of a Reality that, is in fact, highly ephemeral.

So, from my perspective, I think the dream level goal is to find residence in Coral. To get to Coral we need to first establish a “toe hold” in Turquoise. So my current goal is to work on getting from Yellow to Turquoise.

I kind of see Turquoise as “The Retreat” concept. We need a place in South Florida where we can just “Do The Great Work” of Confronting, Exploring, Incubating on, Becoming Illuminated by and Celebrating Dharma…..The True Reality of Nature. From all indication it is a dynamic process of Growth -Transformation and Revelation.

With that said, let’s cap off our inquiry with the words of a true prophet of humanity’s evolutionary process. A man who rode the dragon’s tail and explored deeply The Edge itself.

Seems like we are all about to experience what Terrance was experiencing and talking about 25 years ago……
