Is Spiral Dynamics a strange loop?

[Thetruthseeker]

Apologies if Leo has already mentioned this, its just i've had a couple of thoughts on whether spiral dynamics is a strange loop from these 2 examples 

 

1 - I follow Aubrey Marcus, he talks about Psychedelics, he seems pretty evolved to me. But a lot of his content feels very 'tribal'. He talks a lot about the 'warrior within' and his breath-work and mediation exercises feel very tribal. And his retreats look like they have that tribal feel with the way they dress and their rituals they do etc. 

Just wondering if you can get to the higher stages like glimpses of turquoise and it feels like going back to our inherent stage purple self? 

Another funny example of wondering if its a strange loop is just watching Sadhguru. In talks he's so 'childlike' at times. Again, its like that concept of being so evolved through the spiral that you actually end up going back to how un-evolved you were as a child. It's like you go through all those stages and the entire spiral, just to return to what we were naturally at before we did any development? 

Thanks!

im a little bit tipsy right now but yes, "childlike" behaviour is typical for turqoise, its about playfuness (this is not a word), stranger is the loop

It's not a strange loop, it's a SPIRAL! A spiral is a loop that keeps moving upward.

Aubrey does all his trips with shamans in the rain forest. Of course he's gonna have that shamanic, tribal vibe. I see nothing special in that. Does that help him integrate stage Purple? I would bet. It's hard to learn Purple in the modern world, you really gotta go live in a remote tribe.

I think when Sadhguru says he's like a child, he means that he still has that spark of life and energy that children tend to have which most adults start to lose as they grow older. remember when you were a child every day felt like an exiting new Adventure, rather than another day full of grinding and doing chores? so this is a state of mind that you can only reach when you develop into turquoise i think.
