	Spiral dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spiral dynamics is a book by Don Beck and Chris Cowan which is based on the theory of psychology professor Clare W. Graves.
		Spiral Dynamics argues that human nature is not fixed: humans are able, when forced by circumstances, to adapt to their environment by constructing new, more complex, conceptual models of the world that allow them to handle the new problems.
		With his partner, Natasha Todorovic, he has undertaken work in integrating Spiral Dynamics with NLP and other models, and in developing corporate strategy and practical applications.

	Spiral Dynamics
		Spirals are a dynamic expression of natural and cosmic forces, a "dominant universal fractal" evident in everything from our DNA code to the spiraling galaxies that inhabit the universe.
		Transmitting the genuinely inclusive or "integral" perspective that is the essence of the Spiral Dynamics model, Beck portrays the vast tapestry of global cultures with the care, insight, and easy familiarity with which one might speak about the members of one’s extended family, each with their unique capacities and challenges.
		As cofounder of the National Values Center in Denton, Texas, and President and CEO of the Spiral Dynamics Group, Inc., a global enterprise, he is, by his own definition, a "Spiral Wizard," employing the Spiral Dynamics model to effect large-scale systems change in and among various sectors and societies of the world.

		For example, in dealing with racism and diversity training, Spiral Dynamics moves beyond racial, ethnic, and gender stereotypes, which are the fossils of human activity in the past and which will have no role to play in the new millennium, to explore deep-level Value Systems that can bridge racial/ethnic/gender divides.

	Ekklesia discussion: Spiral Dynamics
		Spiral Dynamics seems to be a model of values based on research by Clare Graves, a professor who was a contemporary of Abraham Maslow.
		I now think differently: if spiral dynamics is also a tool, it is one that has been crafted from the materials in a certain location, in a certain language and from a certain mindset.
		I guess what bothers me about spiral dynamics is the potential for the theory to uphold or formulate racist policies whilst masking racism, and therefore we shall have to agree to disagree on its viability as a method for analysing human "development".

		Spiral Dynamics is the model that Canada's Maclean's Magazine rather grandly dubbed "The Theory that Explains Everything." This applicable system explores the core intelligences and deep values that flow beneath what we believe and do.
		Spiral Dynamics is an integral theory, which maps out specific strategies and tactics in the "meshing" of healthy systems, and illustrates the deep tributaries that produce crossroads in development in human evolution - affecting societies, organizations and individual interactions.
		Spiral Dynamics is taught in an eleven-week online class - entirely online, and in an accelerated format that combines the six-day live seminar and three-weeks of continuing online dialogue.

		This is an important issue to comprehend in that Spiral Dynamics has already been demonstrated to be invaluable for creating change in human systems, for example in South Africa and the end of apartheid.
		So, to make a long story short, if Spiral Dynamics symbols in the Beige to Blue zones has a heavier Male presence, it is because that is precisely the way society was ordered as the various Life Conditions shaped the vMemetic responses.
		There appears to be some confirmation of the idea that the higher up the spiral one moves, the more masculine and feminine dynamics are integrated as more and more feminine elements appear (as opposed to male female).

		It also aims to provide places for Spiral Dynamics topics to be discussed when they come up in other group discussions (like the 'mean green meme' theme for example - or methods for working in red contexts etc).
		Spiral Dynamics is not so much a theory of the evolution of individual consciousness as it is a theory of the co-evolution of consciousness and Life Conditions.
		Since the spiral is about ways of thinking about things, not types of people, you can stand in several places on the pathway at once.

		I've frequently made reference, throughout various articles and commentaries, to the Spiral Dynamics® meta-model ("a model about other models") of evolving perceptual, thinking and values systems within people, groups, organizations, nations and subcultures.
		The best source for this meta-model, while not a "quick" read (which the authors admit), is Beck and Cowan's book Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership and Change (Oxford: Blackwell Publishers, 1996).
		Spiral Dynamics® has also been featured at the World Future Society conclave, and has been successfully applied within Fortune 500 companies, to resolve geopolitical crises (such as South Africa's transition to a post-apartheid society), sporting teams, and to revitalize local communities.

	"The Missing Links" of Spiral Dynamics and Ken Wilber, posting by Bill Moyer
		This posting is taken from the Spiral Dynamics listserve, and touches on a issue noticed by many in Europe: Wilber has written extensively on the negative aspects of the green meme (which he has termend the Mean Green Meme), but he seldom if ever addresses the "Mean Orange Meme", the negavtive consequences of global capitalism.
		I train activists to include as part of their strategy to honor every level and quadrant, and to help each level go from unhealthy to healthy, move from one meme to the next, and to develop a personal and political perspective/strategy from the 2nd tier, or to do the best they can with it.
		My plea is that the authors and users of Spiral Dynamics and Ken Wilber's work add the Mean Orange Meme and the Healthy Green Meme to their proper central places in our writings and dialogues.

		In the words of its original protagonist, Clare Graves, SD is the “psychology of the mature human being as an unfolding, emergent, oscillating spiraling process marked by progressive subordination of older, lower-order behavior systems to newer, higher-order systems as an individual’s existential problems change.
		Each successive stage, wave or level of existence is a state through which people pass on their way to other states of being.” The principles of SD have been profitably used to reorganize businesses, revitalize governments, overhaul education systems and defuse inner-city tensions.
		These are not rigid levels, but fluid waves, with much overlap and interweaving, resulting in a meshwork or dynamic spiral of consciousness unfolding.

	Centerfield: Spiral Dynamics
		The notion of a spiral allows one to consider that actions which are somewhat retro, seemingly back to the past, might in fact be a way forward if they echo the past, but at a higher level.
		Spiral Dynamics may not be a sustainable theory if used as a universal theory, but it is certainly a viable theory as to how progress has and can be achieved.
		So I think the spiral idea is a great one but I also think that while the general trend is upward, that is not always the case especially when examined more locally.
