Maturity in my life and how it relates to Spiral Dynamics

Maturity in my life

I am 28 years old, and the maturity video was a timely wake up call for me. For the past year and a half, I have been lazing around, jobless, and traveling the country when I can. I missed the glory days of being young, when life was easy and I didn't have to take on any responsibilities. I've been trying to get back to those days, but the reality is that I am a grown man now.. You can't just reset the clocks.. Thats not how it works. And I have come to a very harsh truth, given my current situation and circumstances, if I had a daughter, I wouldn't want her dating me. That hurts, but its true. 

I now realize that I am ready to grow up and take accountability for my own life. No more blaming mom and dad. No more blaming friends. No more blaming society.

How Maturity relates to Spiral Dynamics

The higher you climb up the spiral, the more people and things you take responsibility for. That is what this work is about, realizing that you are the entire universe. There is no difference between you and the homeless man down the street, or the famous celebrity that just got canceled, or the squirrel that is chasing its mate around a tree, or the alien that lives on Zortan. You are everything. And when you fully realize this, you will not be able to act immature anymore. You won't be able to manipulate women to fulfill your sexual or attention-seeking cravings. You won't be able to blame other people for your problems. You will be truthful and honest. You will be openminded and try to see things from other people's perspective. You will look at the world as a complex system and not from your egoic perspective. 

Maturity is what it takes to make the leap over to 2nd tier thinking. And the more mature you become, the more selfless you become, and the more selfless you become, the higher up on the the spiral you climb. That is what the spiral is all about, the higher you climb, the more you care about everything that is outside of yourself.
