SD Skipping Levels

This is not it.

You are not born into Yellow, you progress more effectively though the stages as part of early development, being pulled into the center of gravity for where the society and local influence is, by being subjected to more efficient means of development.  

And, you will get shadows that need dealing with, inevitably so, if you are to mature to the point that you start, your transition into Yellow.

 

You're not wrong. Being pulled into center of gravity, for the effective development, of the entire hivemind, is simply how the system works. That is if you just sit back and allow it. 

 

BTW, what do you mean by Shadows at Yellow?

Well, while leaving it open to create shadows anywhere on the spiral, I was referring to the shadows created by rejecting some aspects while moving up the spiral, that needs to be addressed, to a certain degree, and reintegrated, in order to transcend the first tier, into Yellow.

Even at Yellow, there going to be shadows from prior stages to be reintegrated. 

Even at Yellow, I would suppose there is the possibility to create Yellow shadows that needs to be cleaned at some later point to aloow further development.

It's fine to reject various aspects of certain stages, totally. But, it'll need some work to make those aspects from others to not affect you later in any way. It's about figuring out how to burn through the karma. Sometimes, it involves indulging in what affects you. But often it's not needed at all. It depends on whether or not you plan to live around the 'center of gravity'. Again, take aghoris as an example. They eat corpses, drink in human skull. There's infinite ways to burn the unrequited karma if you're open to it.

I'm moving to Turquoise at the moment. My 'active' yellow was very short, like just a few months. The only thing born out of stage yellow was, being able to decipher complex things in a non linear way, this was vital in gaining clarity on various aspects. And it's here to stay. I merely discovered I always had the ability to do that.

At this point, I don't belong to any "stage", actually. The validity of Spiral Dynamics is already crumbling. I used to think, people need to move up the spiral or things like that. But on closer inspection, the spiral doesn't exist. Never existed.

Agreed.

SD, t's a model, and a tool that emerged from certain circumstances, and all models needs to be discarded at some point when it's meaningfulness and usefulness has been transcended.
