Hi folks, thanks for creating this! I began to map out my own spirial in a basic way to see where I am doing each level in my day to day experience. When I got to Red I drew some hard blanks which was fascinating! Other colours were easier to identify, but Red was vauge. I could muster up some questions to investigate like "where do I assert myself on the group?" And "where do I express power?" Some things came up where I am a martial artist (Wing Chun and BJJ) and the game is to dominate or not be dominated but I'm typically just trying to keep people off and get back to neutral vs dominate them. I can also try in the subtle realm influence the perception of others which seems like a less gross body way to express red and its not all snarling teeth and drool its more subtle and deveptive. I'm curious what my martial temperment could say about where I need to grow in this domain As well as if the red value meme can express itself in a more subtle way than a Donald Trump or Ghengis Khan. Thanks!

Don’t wanna be yellow, just instrumentalize it for my greeny / orangy fun mwahahahahahaha

Wow!

I was adopted too! That’s key in my 4ness I see now. A Sense of loss. Pervades.

So, I’m curious how many severe sexual type 4 nasties also have the demon star, left eye of Medusas head *Algol*as well as Royal star watcher of the West Antares , heart of the scorpion, Scorpio moon, stellia,and Pluto mars Uranus conjunctions. Also Gate 34 in human design specifically. There’s tons of others but these 2 fixed stars and Scorpionic themed planet/houses. I bet there’s a lot of overlay

Admittedly, I’m envious of people with more tragic sufferings than I. At least I can see it. Gotta have my sufferings so I can have my cross, why do we, crucify ourselves, everyday , i crucify myself, nothing I do is good enough for you , my heart is sick of being… -Tori Amos lyrics….she’s gotta be a fellow sufferer of 4ness. Lmfao!! I bet lord Byron also, now that I think about it, he was another hero of mine while contemplating which suicide dress color for the scene being planned every other week as a manic-depressant queen in the making…..sorry, fell kinda short of the queenhood status. Wah wash waaaah

Great discussion.I think its better to use both MBTI and the enneagram.For me its what gave me a relief.I am still very obsessed about my type, I mean MBTI did not me fully and so does enneagram.But i see myself, somewhat, as combination of both.Currently tritype 459 (4w5,5w4 and 9w1) and INFJ/INFP fits best.

Thank you all so much for this. I am coaching a 5 Founder and this helps me a lot. I’m also curious like Brandon re what are the points of connection between the Enneagram and the Big Five or Myers Briggs?

Thanks so much for sharing this. As a tech executive now pivoting into being an entrepreneur and executive coach, this is so enlightening

Bunch of 9s who think they are 4s 👍🏻

First Tier seeks purification [katharsis], Second Tier seeks illumination [theoria] and Third Tier seeks unification [theosis] to which may be added the coincidentia oppositorum of the unification of union and seperation[autosis/theosis]. Kabbalah would suggest a 13th state of uncreated light the ein sof or aperion of the Ancient Greeks. this 13th state would correspond to the 13 spheres of Metatron's cube. The 12 state of clear light would be comparable to Ein Sof Aur.

Thank you Nomali. You're one of the best enneagram teachers out there. What i've been trying to understand for yeards through youtube teachers and books you've explained brilliantly in 14 minutes. Thanks. Now i know i'm a social 4.

Maybe its because i study the police but the police force here in the states is more Red than Blue

Interesting, the catholics brought the enneagram 🤔thats what "truity" the corporation version Of the enneagram wants to believe. GODISNONSENSE.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don't know if I am a 4? The only person that can "save me from me"- is me . Envy is not a concept I can accept the existence of. My head hurts... Again . Already. Peace out frodo.

Hi i am 19 ,4 w 5-Infj from Nepal🇳🇵,Loved hearing from you all

The higher stages of consciousness urge the individual to be connected with the whole, like, with humanity, with physical universe, with spiritual realm. It also, as others described, makes you feel profound selfless compassion towards the world and especially other human beings. But i feel that most people that reached the higher stages, they focus too much on the self and on nothing at the same time, and too little on what other people experience, how others suffer their whole lives under the jackboot of ignorance, superstition, egoism and greed. In my opinion, our duty as a species is to bring all of us into the proverbial Heaven on Earth, to liberate ourselves into the highest stages of existence. It is not enough to explain the world, the point is to change it.

Turquoise seems to me like a personified embodiment of dialectical-materialistic view on the reality, at least on instinctual level. The "spiritual bypassing" disaster, i believe, is a rejection or inability to accept that reality is wholly material and that any spiritual thing originates from material reality and from our experience with it. I've seen so many wise people, so close to seeing the world for what it truly is, and then ruining it for no reason than "being spiritual and mysterious" is somehow more appropriate than being grounded in material reality.

Helen reminds me of myself a lot. I have been mistaken as an Eight several times and she seems very "Eightish" to me as well

You guys had good take on Trump. I remember watching a youtube video with Don Beck and he put Trump at Yellow! Bias is a powerful thing.

Thank you so much guys this was truly informative.

Glad to see more discussion of Integral theory, especially in terms of practicality! It is intriguing to have hear/see speculative views on higher stages beyond 2nd tier. Lots to think about but not enough data and instances to be anything but speculative; as yet. Not convinced of putting capacities (e.g seeing, feeling, hearing) above each other. Since they are just different modalities. Good material still 😊 If you are interested in “feeling wholes”, check out Quentin Smith’s “Metaphysics of Feelings: Felt Meanings of the World”. Best descriptions of feeling-awarenesses of wholes and global moods inquiry I have yet come across.

Nick, who says he is an introverted 7, probably thinks that being extroverted means partying all day and meeting people on a daily basis. Introverted means ananlyzing what you think or feel about objects (people, things ideas). Extroverted means engaging with the object (talking to people, playing a videogame, creating art from your ideas) Every 7 is extroverted, but some 7s (like me ) have social anxiety and rather get their joy from doing things and creating ideas than from being around way too amny people all the time. I am a 7 and I am almost always at home. It´s my fun place. the interent is full of ideas and I can play with my family all day long and be creative. This is extraversion experienced at home 🤷‍♀ I also have a strong connection to both arrows (1 and 5) and am the kind of type 7 that is very responsible and a deep thinker). It has to do with maturity. Being selfish is maybe funny when you are a teenager or a young adult, but not when you are a parent with responsibilities and a job. You gotta grow up at some point in your life.

Thank you, all of you are changing our world

One interpretation of the Enneagram is that it is a personality system, and it's a modern interpretation. Another, perhaps a more spiritual framing is that the Enneagram is a wisdom mirror that shows you who you are not.

If your 1st instint is preservation, your 2nd instint is never sexual. It goes in order preservation/social/sexual & around from the beginning. U can act on 3rd instint, one cause u still have it, also because u can be acting pretty extreme unconsciously, or u might make the conscious choice to use ur 3rd instint because u consciously decide u want to use it sometime somewhere.

Thank you so much for the panel. I’m a 4/5 w. The sense of not belonging has been intense all my life. I’ve chalked it up to the fact that I was in the incubator for 5 weeks. Wasn’t visited by my mom or even named. So I’ve done plenty of work to heal that trauma.And learning about the enneagram helps me see that this emptiness is just a part of me. I’ve had a deep spiritual path since I was 18yrs old and I make meaning from believing this deep pain of not belonging helps create compassion. And I gotta say lately I’ve been challenged with feeling deeply discouraged with creating community and deeper friendships. Also struggle with wanting to offer anything to the world cuz it just didn’t feel original enough. Step by step. Being in nature and having pets helps tenderly.

I used to think that certain writers of the Romantic era i.e. Emily Bronte, Wordsworth, Coleridge are mainly Teal people. After watching this video I’m now thinking that they may be Teal in their emotional line and creative line, but in terms of world view/core beliefs they are perhaps Green. Thank you for an edifying video.

Thank you, your video helped me connect some dots in my mind. I realized that modern universities are often very amber environments even though administrators and academics often speak in orange, green or even teal vocabulary. This created a lot of confusion for me while I was still in university. I think large traditional organizations often are like this. Thanks again for a wonderful video

What a great series! I listened to the whole first tier, gave me allot new perspectives on the different stages! The idea of seeing the stages in their different contexts was especially helpful! Thank You!

He seems so blue it’s like he can’t see it

Phillis seems to have a lot of 3 energy.

I appreciate this video and the one about Coral and beyond. I would like to share my experience. I lived in and as Turquoise in over one and a half years 2017-mid 2019. It was resembling what you describe but some things you mention were not present at all. In this stage I was definitely going towards simplicity and a sort of organically self emerging minimalism with immense presence and delight in the smallest and most mundane and basic. Delight in any state - chaos, noise, what prior was perceived as ugly or disturbing or evil or low was immensely beautiful and lovable and relatable and communed and empathed with. There was an ever presence of trust and bliss and confidence within all unknowns and within threats and challenges. There was an everpresence of communion and love with everything and everyone and even the possibility of communicating with anything and anyone at levels way different than words or body language... plants and animals talked if they wanted and taught if I received it. Places and photos were portals and libraries of information that could be received - or not...nothing mattered yet there was a lot of delight. It was my responsibility to birth and move my stream of love, creation and energy to harmonize and unify and make more coherent the Whole while attending to all aspects that came into my awareness. The mundane smallest things could be extremely transcendent and bliss-filling. Body was very unified with mind and with soul and with Whole of world and all realms and "other" and cosmos but cosmos was not interesting - the simple here and now and bringing unified harmony was more. So what was not present was ambition. What was not present was diligence. What was not present was learning and reading - all books and human ideology were long gone....completely irrelevant... visceral organic birthing of the experience of the now was so harmonious that nothing was missing and nothing was grasped for. There was as you said a desire to come together att all levels of spiral and certainly at turquoise level with other turquises to unify and make the whole more coherent but there was no hurry or fear or diligence - just a trusting patient birthing and experiencing. And I want to share what happened. I am not at all in turquoise any more. As you mentioned: Trauma work and shadow work is needed. So this showed up for me. I lost almost everything and everyone you can think of very rapidly - not by their death but by their choice. I did have attachment to the few precious individuals I did call my friends and losing all five of them by them abandoning me for different reasons and within just a few months brought me into my trauma wounds. The world also went into lock downs soon thereafter. Loneliness was extreme and 100%. Not a single living human had any relationship or connection to me when lock downs hit. I was not as accepting towards the turn of events in the world - what was underlying the whole thing was evidently malevolent in my perception - and by deliberate design - I was shocked to see the ignorance and lack of integrity within humanity in how we responded. I fell deeply into pain and started the whole spiral from beginning again in deep childhood trauma work and now I am most of the time in yellow...sometimes a bit colored by green, and now and then dipping down more to other colors. I can easily reach turquoise states for some 5-30 minutes but I am in no hurry nor motivation to do so - I want to be thorough, organic and genuine in my beingness and I have no desire to go fast consciousness - I just really want to do and be benevolent and to unify and whole more. Facing it all and not evading any wound or pain or grief is more important to me now than being free or in a higher state. Sometimes I am a bit confused by this fall from turquoise and wonder if I regressed. I don't know.

Unitive seems like a non dual perspective from the altitude of absolute truth

I recently discovered spiral dynamics. As I started to gather information about it, I felt that it clearly defined many abstract thoughts that I had been pondering the past few years. Really great discussion. Thank you.

Enjoying this series thanks

great content

Great talk the Intro was legendary.

TLDR: Enneagram types 5, 6, and 7 are driven by curiosity, fear, and pleasure, and the integral philosophy offers a map to understand human experience and consciousness, emphasizing the shift from fear to acceptance and the importance of embracing diversity and cultural differences. 1. 00:00 🔍 Type 5, the investigator, is curious and insightful, while type 6, the loyalist, can become cynical; type 5 individuals are over-represented in the integral world and can mature into assertive leaders. 1.1 Continuing the discussion on Enneagram types, the speaker introduces type 5, the investigator, and type 6, the loyalist, and their characteristics. 1.2 Type 5 is a seeker of knowledge who is curious, insightful, and good at logical reasoning. 1.3 As a type 5, the speaker is intensely curious and prefers to observe rather than participate, which can lead to feeling alienated and cynical. 1.4 Pathological fives can become like disintegrated sevens, always seeking what's next and spending hours categorizing and finding patterns. 1.5 Enneagram type 5 individuals are over-represented in the integral world because it provides a new world where everything is included and they experience it as thrilling and psychoactive. 1.6 As a type 5 matures, they can develop into a type 8, becoming assertive leaders who actively contribute to the community. 2. 07:36 🔍 Type 5 and 6 in the Enneagram are deep investigators, with type 5 being intense and isolated, and people with types 5-7, like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, are often introverted and find ways to connect with others through technology and information. 2.1 Types 5 and 6 in the Enneagram are characterized by a deep investigation into spiritual and empty spaces, with type 5 being described as an intense, cerebral, secretive, and isolated investigator. 2.2 Phibes are alert, insightful, and curious, able to concentrate on developing complex ideas and skills, but can become detached and intense, often ahead of their time, with a basic fear of being useless, helpless, or incapable. 2.3 The speaker discusses the influence of childhood experiences on personality types, using Salvador Dali as an example of a type 5 artist. 2.4 People with Enneagram types 5-7, like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, are often introverted and find ways to connect with others through technology and information. 2.5 People with type 5 personalities are diligent researchers but may struggle with conspiratorial thinking and can easily adapt their reasoning based on the last person they interacted with. 3. 15:24 🧐 Enneagram types 5, 6, and 7 are driven by curiosity and fear, with type 6 seeking safety and security, being loyal and responsible but also defensive and anxious. 3.1 Curiosity and fear drive Enneagram types 5, 6, and 7 to seek knowledge and safety in different ways. 3.2 Fives are able to absorb and convey detailed and broad knowledge, but struggle with completion and moving on to the next thing. 3.3 Type six is described as a seeker of safety and security, loyal, reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy, but can also be defensive, evasive, anxious, and rebellious. 3.4 Famous individuals and comedians are often Enneagram type 6, known for using humor to cope with fear and anxiety, and are described as solid citizens who keep things in line. 3.5 The six personality type is characterized by a fear of what might go wrong, a desire to keep the group together, and a rebellious and defiant nature. 3.6 Sixes are loyal, good people who are always thinking ahead and preparing, but can get stuck in a place of fear and struggle with authority if their loyalty is hurt. 4. 26:40 🔍 Enneagram types 5-7: Sixes driven by fear and need for safety, sevens enthusiastic pleasure seekers prone to distraction and exhaustion. 4.1 Libertarianism values individual freedom but also seeks connection and community, while the orientation of sixes is driven by a fear of vulnerability and a need to avoid danger. 4.2 Hitler's behavior exemplifies the negative aspect of Enneagram type 6, as he derived power from the group and modeled himself to please and gain influence, ultimately leading to destructive impulses. 4.3 Sixes are deeply sincere helpers who want to make sure everyone is okay and can be fully trusted to take care of things, as demonstrated by the speaker's friend Ryan who is always looking out for the safety and well-being of others. 4.4 Type seven personality is described as an enthusiastic pleasure seeker who is spontaneous, optimistic, and seeks new experiences, but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. 4.5 Famous individuals are associated with different Enneagram types, and each type has wings that extend to neighboring types, allowing for more access and expression. 4.6 Sevens are fun and energetic, but can suffer from FOMO and become righteous under stress. 5. 40:12 🔍 Enneagram type 7 seeks pleasure but can struggle with focus and motivation, but when healthy, they can bring joy to others and face uncomfortable feelings. 5.1 The Enneagram type 7 seeks stimulus and accumulates positive experiences, but struggles with generating motivation and pushing through negativity to exercise. 5.2 Sevens can become superficial and aimless if they focus only on pleasure, but when they learn to focus and engage with one thing, they can generate fun experiences for others and enjoy life the way they want to. 5.3 Unhealthy Enneagram types 5-7 can become critical and unfocused, but at their best, they can be focused and enthusiastic, and a healthy type 7 is able to go deeper and face uncomfortable feelings. 5.4 Sevens fear missing out on negative things, but when they become the best versions of themselves, they can do a lot of good, as seen in the example of a retired business person who helped others and coped with distractions through meditation. 5.5 The speaker discusses how a person turned the potential pitfall of type 7 into a strength by finding joy in each moment of a relationship, with the help of meditation, and the discussion of Enneagram types typically starts with type 8. 5.6 Type 7 personalities are joyful and seductive, pulling others out of their misery, with a seemingly desire for depth.

TLDR: Understanding and embracing different personality types can lead to greater self-awareness, empathy, and appreciation for diversity in perspectives, ultimately leading to healthier and more balanced relationships. 1. 00:00 🧠 Understanding personality types and typologies can lead to greater self-awareness, empathy, and patience in relationships, and the video covers various typologies such as Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, and masculine and feminine typologies. 1.1 The video discusses Ken Wilber's integral map, covering quadrants, lines of development, and stages of consciousness development. 1.2 Personality types are set at around age four and remain relatively constant, but can change in tone and flavor, and understanding different personality types can lead to greater self-awareness, empathy, and patience in relationships. 1.3 Various personality type ologies have been developed over the years, including the Myers-Briggs, DISC, StrengthsFinder, Human Design, and the lover, warrior, magician, king typology. 1.4 The speaker discusses different typologies such as the five Buddha families, doshas, learning styles, masculine and feminine typologies, and the Enneagram, emphasizing the importance of understanding personality types for increased compassion towards oneself and others. 1.5 Different types of viruses and human teeth are examples of types in the upper right quadrant, and the way types show up in the lower right quadrant is also discussed. 1.6 Different types of currency, jobs, shared beliefs, and personality types can be useful to distinguish between, and the typology of masculinity and femininity can be replaced with the typology of Communion and agency, especially for those at the green level of development. 2. 14:44 🧠 Understanding personality types has increased empathy and self-awareness, bringing clarity to the infinite possibilities of who we are and helping to appreciate the need for diversity in perspectives. 2.1 Understanding personality types and typology has helped the speaker shift from being critical to being curious about others, increasing empathy and self-awareness. 2.2 The speaker discusses various personality typologies and their accuracy in describing individuals. 2.3 Different personality types bring clarity and appreciation to the infinite possibilities of who we are. 2.4 Different cultures and countries have discernible personalities and types, and studying typology helps to appreciate the need for diversity in perspectives. 2.5 The terminology can cause discomfort, but it's important to focus on the essence of the teaching. 2.6 Masculine and feminine typology are not related to gender, and both men and women can exhibit these ways of being in the world. 3. 23:22 🔍 Balancing communion and agency leads to healthier human beings, as we evolve and become less identified with our type, embracing and fitting other types with less friction is key. 3.1 Balancing communion and agency within ourselves leads to healthier human beings, with research showing that an exaggerated focus on either can decrease well-being, and as we continue to grow and evolve, being flexible with both poles is key. 3.2 As we evolve, we become less identified with our type, leading to a greater differentiation and integration of masculine and feminine energy. 3.3 Personality types can evolve and express themselves in healthy or unhealthy ways, and as we evolve, we can loosen up and spread our wings to embrace and fit other types with less friction. 3.4 The Enneagram shows how as you evolve, you can see what type you are and what type you may evolve into, with the goal of becoming more self-aware and less attached to personal preferences. 3.5 Type one is disciplined and reliable, type two is caring and helpful, type three is ambitious and driven, type four is imaginative and creative, type five is curious and insightful, type six seeks safety and security, type seven is enthusiastic and optimistic, type eight is assertive and decisive, and type nine seeks harmony and peace. 3.6 Eights are assertive, decisive, and effective leaders, and we can see this personality type in various individuals, movie characters, and books. 4. 35:29 🧠 Different personality types have strengths and weaknesses, with type 8 personalities having a powerful impact on society, as seen in historical autocratic leaders and debated in the case of Trump. 4.1 The first lady of the Philippines during the Marcos dictatorship was an unhealthy type 8 personality who lived for power and wanted to create an African paradise in the Philippines, demonstrating femininity in an 8th package. 4.2 Different personality types have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it's important to appreciate and understand each other. 4.3 Type eight personalities, at their most powerful, can have a visible effect on society, both positive and negative, with some historical autocratic leaders being associated with this type due to their forcefulness and ruthlessness. 4.4 Trump's personality type is debated, but the Enneagram Institute website categorizes him as type 8. 5. 41:08 🔍 Type 8 personalities are focused on getting things done and want to see good things happening in the world, while type 9 individuals are peacemakers who struggle to stand out and take charge of their lives. 5.1 Type 8 personalities are focused on getting things done and want to see good things happening in the world, but their basic fear is being harmed and losing control of their own lives. 5.2 Robert De Niro's character in "The Irishman" is an example of an Enneagram type 8, and the speaker discusses various other public figures who also exhibit traits of this personality type. 5.3 Type nine is a seeker of harmony who is peaceful, agreeable, and kind, and each person is a composite of multiple facets with access to all type behaviors. 5.4 Type nines are peacemakers who give others space, help people see themselves in a positive light, and bridge understanding between different people, but they can be out of touch with their own emotions and can be exploited. 5.5 People with Enneagram type 9 are able to bring people together and heal conflicts, but they struggle to stand out and take charge of their lives. 5.6 The speaker mentions various internationally known figures such as musicians, actors, and political leaders.

TLDR: Understanding and embracing different states of being, including physical, mental, and spiritual states, can lead to greater mindfulness, awareness, and personal development. 1. 00:00 🧠 Integral theory discusses the five main elements of quadrants, levels, lines, states, and types, identifying major states of being including waking, dream, witnessing, deep dreamless, and a fifth state beyond the physical and subtle states. 1.1 The speaker discusses the five main elements of integral theory: quadrants, levels, lines, states, and types, and their architecture in stages of development. 1.2 States can be thought of as structure stages, ranging from small temporary emotions to larger moods and extremely large states containing other states. 1.3 The waking and dream states are major states where the dream state involves a different world and a dream body. 1.4 Integral theory identifies major states of being including waking, dream, witnessing, deep dreamless, and a fifth state beyond the physical and subtle states. 1.5 Integral theory identifies five states, including the causal, witnessing, non-dual, unity awareness, and more, which can be explored in detail through a course called "integral flourishing" on the ubiquity University website. 2. 05:59 🧠 Understanding levels, types, and states of intelligence leads to greater mindfulness and awareness, allowing us to observe emotions and thoughts without identification, and embrace our states of being without resistance. 2.1 Understanding the levels, types, and states of intelligence allows us to observe our emotions and thoughts without being identified with them, leading to greater mindfulness and awareness. 2.2 We need to embrace our states of being and allow them to flow without resistance. 2.3 Preferences about the weather are similar to the interior states of being, as both are uncontrollable and can only be managed. 3. 09:29 🧠 Different stages of development experience different states of being, which can help in understanding enlightenment and spiritual teachings. 3.1 States and stages are independent in integral theory, and all stages of development experience different states of being. 3.2 The speaker discusses the interpretation of spiritual experiences at different stages of development, and how they can be experienced as unity and ecstasy. 3.3 Different stages of human experience and understanding of states can help in understanding enlightenment and spiritual teachings, and may be of interest to those with a curiosity about spirituality. 4. 14:17 🧠 Our everyday experiences are connected to physical sensations and social context, highlighting the impermanence of internal and external states, including exogenous and endogenous states. 4.1 Our everyday experiences and moods are connected to our physical sensations and social context, as demonstrated by the correlation between the upper left and upper right quadrants. 4.2 Our current global state is highlighting the impermanence of internal and external states, including waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states. 4.3 There are exogenous states induced by substances and endogenous states that can be trained through meditation and contemplation. 5. 17:49 🧠 Training and paying attention to natural states can lead to deeper experiences and a sense of oneness with nature, different states of being provide access to a different experience of the world, and the connection between spiritual states and stages of development is debated in integral theory. 5.1 Training and paying attention to natural states can lead to deeper experiences and a sense of oneness with nature, as well as corresponding upper-right body and energy body. 5.2 The biosphere is the most tangible state, followed by the Dreaming state where there is a sense of identification with the personal self, and then the deep Dreamless State where identification shifts to the big "S" self. 5.3 Different states of being, such as deep dreamless sleep, can provide access to a different experience of the world and a deeper connection with emptiness. 5.4 The non-dual state allows for liberation from attachment to relative reality and the experience of oneness with formlessness. 5.5 The speaker discusses the connection between spiritual states and stages of development, questioning whether one must go through all stages to experience spiritual states. 5.6 Enlightenment and spiritual development in different stages of history are debated in integral theory.

TLDR: Individuals progress through stages of development, from traditional beliefs to modern rationality, and eventually to a green level of development that involves a rejection of grand narratives and a desire to include all marginalized groups and extend compassion to animals and the world at large. 1. 00:00 🌐 The discussion explores the stages of development in integral philosophy, highlighting the emergence of the modern rational stage and the impact of traditionalism on the modern and postmodern world. 1.1 Lee and Amali are joined by Jeff Saltzman to discuss the stages of development in integral philosophy, focusing on the basics and practical applications. 1.2 The emergence of the modern rational stage, starting around 300 years ago, was a retaliation against the traditional puritanical religious mindset, leading to a value of freedom and liberation in thinking for oneself. 1.3 The impact of traditionalism on the modern and postmodern world, including the response to the coronavirus, demonstrates the interconnectedness of global intelligence and the persistence of traditional values. 2. 04:38 🌍 Moving into new stages of development involves liberation from traditional beliefs, transitioning to independence, and experiencing a lack of understanding and conflicting values in a modern world with both benefits and downsides. 2.1 Moving into new stages of development involves being liberated from traditional beliefs and experiencing a sense of alienation in a modern, science-based world. 2.2 The transition from being tied to family to becoming independent and finding one's own identity is a key aspect of personal development. 2.3 People at different stages of development don't understand each other and often push each other away, leading to a culture with conflicting values and a lack of feeling at home. 2.4 Second person spirituality is gone, and rationality creates tangible results of modernity like skyscrapers and tripled lifespans. 2.5 The modern world has brought many benefits such as freedom from toothaches and lice, but also has downsides like obesity, environmental degradation, and the soullessness of the meat industry. 3. 10:39 🌀 Individuals progress through stages of development, with the pursuit of profit often outweighing ethics, as seen in the success of Elon Musk and the harm caused by DuPont. 3.1 Elon Musk is seen as an orange hero for his success in multiple industries, while the DuPont chemical organization is considered an orange villain for their pollution and harm to people and animals. 3.2 The pursuit of profit and wealth often outweighs ethics and compassion, as seen in art and the emergence of orange modernity in teenagers. 3.3 The speaker discusses the emergence of the authoring mind and the shift from communal to individualistic values as individuals progress through the stages of development. 4. 15:01 🌀 Our consciousness evolves from individualism to communal faithfulness, progressing through levels of development from tribal to success-driven, with a focus on wealth and products, while green emerges as a reaction against capitalism and the challenge is to attract listeners without financial incentives. 4.1 There is a polarity between communal and individual being, and our consciousness is growing in a spiral from red individualism to communal faithfulness and then into orange. 4.2 The levels of development progress from tribal to individual to success-driven, with a focus on gathering wealth and selling products. 4.3 Naomi Klein's book "No Logo" critiques capitalism and demonstrates how green, as a reaction against the toxicities of capitalism, grows out of the orientation towards success and making money. 4.4 Everyone can now communicate freely without needing money, but the challenge is to attract listeners without any intermediaries or financial incentives. 5. 20:38 🌍 The move into the green level of development involves a rejection of grand narratives, a critique of power dynamics, and a desire to include all marginalized groups and extend compassion to animals and the world at large. 5.1 The move into the green level of development involves a rejection of all grand narratives and a critique of power dynamics in history. 5.2 The speaker discusses the progression from civil rights to feminism to gay rights, and the desire to include all marginalized groups and extend compassion to animals and the world at large. 5.3 Global communication and travel have allowed us to see beyond our own country, but it also brings the risk of spreading diseases, leading to a desire to connect with people from different cultures. 5.4 Multiculturalism is seen as a powerful force, but it can also exclude those who are not multicultural. 5.5 The new stage of development that emerged in the 60s with the sexual revolution and civil rights is a critique of modernity that modernity is nervous about, but integralists want to see the best of all worldviews and move forward in a way that has a sense of unity and realization. 5.6 The speaker discusses the inability of first-tier stages to understand each other, particularly
