I want to introduce you to a powerful development model called Spiral Dynamics. Clare Graves created it as a Levels of Existence model to piece together experiences he had with various humans throughout his life and experiences to show the evolution of human consciousness from basic survival instincts up to letting go of fear and compulsions. Don Beck and Christopher Cowan of the National Values Center later took on his work to develop Spiral Dynamics, which primarily focused on the values developed throughout human development, from family systems to power hierarchies to mythic civilizations and beyond. With many books to their name, there is no shortage of insights to gain from this research, which continues in many researchers and observers today.
