These are the stages of the growing edge of human consciousness - Yellow and Turquoise - the newest and rarest turns of the spiral, and the place where sacred living becomes possible in a wholly new way…

Now the spiral turns toward something new: the long human project of refining the world. Order, progress, and connection - the three stages we explore this week are the major dynamics at play in modern life…

This week we begin walking the spiral in Spiral Dynamics at its very beginning - its three oldest layers, the deep roots from which everything else grows…
