So I have to switch perspectives as much as possible to get higher in SD?

Hello everyone. I know the title might sound a bit crazy. I know that Leo said many times that Spiral Dynamics can be seen as ''the amount of perspectives you take, determines how high you are in the Spiral''. That Blue mostly looks from their own religion's perspective, while Green looks from the entire world's perspective and so on.

I mean the question (a.k.a the title of this post) in the sense of conflicts during different groups/parties. Lets take the conflict in the Middle-East as an example. My question is about if seeing the conflict from both IS' perspective and the allies' perspective, will I transcend a little bit higher in the Spiral? Does it have any effect what so ever if you take these kinds of different perspectives?

In case you didn't know: I am mostly Orange. I try to see the world from all kinds of perspectives to get to Green and this is one of the things that I am curious about.

In your Middle East example of course you want to understand the agendas of all sides. This doesn't mean they are all equal though. Those agendas can be categorized along Spiral.

@Leo Gura No of course I didn't mean that they are all equal. Just a matter of understanding.
