The Psycho-Archeology of Responsibility - Spiral Dynamics Blue

Wild Entheology

In this episode, we go deep into how you can integrate Stage Blue of Spiral Dynamics. You don't need to listen to our previous SD episodes to understand this one. Simply put, SD is a model of societal and psychological development. Stage Blue is the stage where law, order, and authority come into being to help bring cohesion to an emerging civilization. As such, it is about the roles and the responsibilities that come with them that allow us to belong to our group. Listen to find out how to make conscious the roles you have no idea you play. We hope you enjoy!

34:24 - The definition of a role as an interpretive lens through which we transform how reality currently is into how reality should be.

40:26 - Bringing roles into the light of awareness not to destroy them, but to understand where they come from, how they are helping us, and how they are hurting us.

As is always the case, psychedelics are not a toy. Please use them responsibly. We can only speak to our own psychological and spiritual evolution, we cannot speak to yours. If you have mental health issues please seek a professional. There is no shame in getting help and you will never be judged for your problems. We wish you the best in life and in mental health.
