The lower stages of Spiral Dynamics list

[andyjohnsonman]

I am wanting to make a comprehensive list of all the good parts of the lower stages of spiral dynamics. I do this to help me integrate more into stage Yellow as a lot of stage yellow is about seeing the good in the lower stages. I would like to focus on Blue, Orange and Green as I don't feel Red is too relevant today. I would be very grateful if people would add to it to make it more comprehensive.

 

Blue

Care for family

Being a good citizen 

Looking out for your neighbour

Community

having a nation you can be proud of

forgiveness

having a map for how to live

less confusion as you know what to do and how things are

support from people around you (church groups)

less complications

Deep love for the nation, bible, people in your in group

 

Orange 

supporting your family financially

independence

freedom

creativity 

take life in your own hands

productivity

logical 

rational

more analytical

can create a life you want (how you always dreamt)

capitalism can lifts others up 

work hard and be rewarded

sense of achievement

taking action rather than just theory

 

Green

Caring

Empathy 

relative 

world centric 

understands issues more deeply (without environmental care there will be no way of boosting the economy)

community 

compassion 

less suppression of true emotions 

more understanding of what we are (not defined by gender, race, status etc)

equality 

trying to change things for the better

transparency 

communication

That's a cool ideia!!

I think the mega-threads about every stage here on the forum already have many characteristics that would help you on that.

You’ve got a good start but moving into tier two requires integrating ALL of tier one, including stage red, purple and beige. Don’t ignore the value systems of these stages as well
