Beige
The level of basic survival; food, water, warmth, sex, and safety have priority. Uses habits and instincts just to survive. Distinct self is barely awakened or sustained. Forms into survival bands to perpetuate life.
Red
First emergence of a self distinct from the tribe; powerful, impulsive, egocentric, heroic. Mythic spirits, dragons, beasts, and powerful people. Feudal lords protect underlings in exchange for obedience and labor. The basis of feudal empires—power and glory The world is a jungle full of threats and predators. Conquers, out-foxes, and dominates; enjoys self to the fullest without regret or remorse.
Purple
Thinking is animistic; magical spirits, good and bad, swarm the earth leaving blessings, curses, and spells which determine events. Forms into ethnic tribes. The spirits exist in ancestors and bond the tribe. Kinship and lineage establish political links. Sounds “holistic” but is actually atomistic: “there is a name for each bend in the river but no name for the river.”
Orange
At this wave, the self “escapes” from the “herd mentality” of blue, and seeks truth and meaning in individualistic terms—hypothetico-deductive, experimental, objective, mechanistic, operational—“scientific” in the typical sense. The world is a rational and well-oiled machine with natural laws that can be learned, mastered, and manipulated for one’s own purposes. Highly achievement oriented, especially (in America) toward materialistic gains. The laws of science rule politics, the economy, and human events. The world is a chess-board on which games are played as winners gain pre-eminence and perks over losers. Marketplace alliances; manipulate earth’s resources for one’s strategic gains. Basis of corporate states.
Blue
Life has meaning, direction, and purpose, with outcomes determined by an allpowerful Other or Order. This righteous Order enforces a code of conduct based on absolutist and unvarying principles of “right” and “wrong.” Violating the code or rules has severe, perhaps everlasting repercussions. Following the code yields rewards for the faithful. Basis of ancient nations. Rigid social hierarchies; paternalistic; one right way and only one right way to think about everything. Law and order; impulsivity controlled through guilt; concrete-literal and fundamentalist belief; obedience to the rule of Order.
Yellow
Life is a kaleidoscope of natural hierarchies [holarchies], systems, and forms. Flexibility, spontaneity, and functionality have the highest priority. Differences and pluralities can be integrated into interdependent, natural flows. Egalitarianism is complemented with natural degrees of excellence where appropriate. Knowledge and competency should supersede rank, power, status, or group. The prevailing world order is the result of the existence of different levels of reality (memes) and the inevitable patterns of movement up and down the dynamic spiral. Good governance facilitates the emergence of entities through the levels of increasing complexity (nested hierarchy).
Green
Communitarian, human bonding, ecological sensitivity, networking. The human spirit must be freed from greed, dogma, and divisiveness; feelings and caring supersede cold rationality; cherishing of the earth, Gaia, life. Against hierarchy; establishes lateral bonding and linking. Permeable self, relational self, group intermeshing. Emphasis on dialogue, relationships. Basis of values communes (i.e., freely chosen affiliations based on shared sentiments). Reaches decisions through reconciliation and consensus (downside: interminable “processing” and incapacity to reach decisions). Refresh spirituality, bring harmony, enrich human potential. Strongly egalitarian, anti-hierarchy, pluralistic values, social construction of reality, diversity, multiculturalism, relativistic value systems; this worldview is often called pluralistic relativism. Subjective, nonlinear thinking; shows a greater degree of affective warmth, sensitivity, and caring, for earth and all its inhabitants.
Coral
Turquoise
Universal holistic system, holons/waves of integrative energies; unites feeling with knowledge [centaur]; multiple levels interwoven into one conscious system. Universal order, but in a living, conscious fashion, not based on external rules (blue) or group bonds (green). A “grand unification” is possible, in theory and in actuality. Sometimes involves the emergence of a new spirituality as a meshwork of all existence. Turquoise thinking uses the entire spiral; sees multiple levels of interaction; detects harmonics, the mystical forces, and the pervasive flowstates that permeate any organization.

“Conditions" “Organism” Movement and stasis along the developmental Spiral Movement and stasis along the developmental Spiral Movement and stasis along the developmental Spiral - either up or down - are reflections of the interaction between Life Conditions (the conditions-without which combine the historic times, physical place, psycho-social existence problems, and socio-economic circumstances) and the VMEMEs accessible in the individual or collective mind (the systems-within). Generally, the evolution is toward more elaborated, more complex and inclusive ways of being - "higher" levels. However, life is without guarantees and there can also be regressions to previous, less complex, "lower" level structures. In either case, the active VMEMEs are the containers for ideas and the essence of value systems, weltanschauuns, and the many "real" worlds that exist in parallel - sometimes in conflict, sometimes in confluence - on earth today.

Worldview
A single living entity
Seek the order beneath Earth’s chaos Turquoise
In tune with large scale of planetary concerns. Can “see” everything at once. Thinks in holographic mosaics. Respects all life – and the implicit order within the universe. Understands mega-systems in nature, socialrelations, evolution, business and the need to preserve Plant Earth for future generations.
Becomes abstract, other-worldly, tuned into frequencies and energy systems that transcend the anything practical. Little use for people or community because of interaction with life forces in nature, through media and information net-works. Often condescending to those who are not “tuned in”

In some danger of collapse
Stand alone to learn how to be free Yellow
Big-picture view of life systems. Values what is natural – less can mean more. Focuses on competency, responsibility, and freedom of choice. Rejects status, conformity, authoritarian structures. Information and knowledge-based decision making. Capable of fearless, creative problem solving.
Often drops out, stays on sidelines or “does own thing” regardless. Shows little passion for others. Absorbed in self-interest. Pursues a variety of interests based on self-motivation. Often “lets things be” to excess.

Space is available to everyone and owned by no one and has to be used to provide basic essentials for life and survival.
Migration and movement to wherever the essentials for life and survival will be found and provided – as seen in street people, extreme old age, very ill and poor people.
Sacred and special ground defined by the events and happenings of the past important to the group. Marked by symbols, defined by traditions, limited by visual and walking distances, natural physical features are revered as are the old country and home ways and seasonal activities.
Deeply spiritual places with strong historical, custom and traditional links to the past and rites of passage as individuals, families, tribes, communities, nationalities – hills, rivers, sites and areas of special events, cemeteries – visited, respected, tended with high regard, mysticism, and spirituality.
Areas of conquest over which the victor reigns, controls and leaves a personal mark. Strongly defined and defended boundaries outside which danger and enemies exist and threaten the gained spoils.
Defined and protected personal areas – private homes, factories, sports grounds, gang turf, individual and group property which is defined, used, defended and protected by powerful physical and visible means and signs – illegal land invasions, primary industries.
Land and space is precisely and carefully surveyed, documented, assigned and allocated, boundaries are marked permanently obeyed and protected for the stability and future of the group through treaties and compacts for all to enjoy. The use of land is determined and justified by a future purpose and goal.
Well established and carefully maintained areas and spaces for all aspects of living carefully identified, controlled and marked (land use zoning & cadastral maps) to ensure the uses are established for the benefit of the group – homes, schools, churches, police stations, social institutions, hitech, research, scientific, technological uses
Areas of property which can be used to realise the benefits of calculated risk taking – from which individual wealth, material gain and status can be extracted to be displayed and shown for all to see and made aware of economic influence and achievement.
Different needs for space and land must be provided for, integrated and legitimised to minimise and prevent boundary conflicts, spatial disputes and land abuse which will be harmful to the overall balance of the systems; conflict over space between the different systems is recognised as inherent and inevitable, striving for constructive diversity to blend all aspects of the community and its spatial needs –especially the best parts into a synergistic whole.
Land and space takes on global perspectives for the benefit of the global community with no manmade boundaries and limits but controlled and managed through the use and limitations of resources and natural geological forms and structures which will determine human habitation patterns in congruence with other planetary life forms.
A safe, orderly and harmonious global spatial environment which blends with natural resource flows and fits into a universal mesh of natural and man based activities, manifestations, forms and structures making allowance for all beings to belong and exist in harmony - still to be realised by most global communities.

The balanced systemic integration of the different spatial needs and requirements to provide a dynamic chaordic, diverse spatial environment of nodes an networks which grows, adapts and develops to meet all needs without threatening its own sustainability and ability to change and adapt – changing urban areas of growth and regrowth as individual and group needs and requirements flex and flow with a freedom to be – balanced, flexible and appropriate mixed uses.
High status areas of living and working which have resulted from successful wealth creation, prosperous displays of affluence and image – buildings and property developments which are designed and built to make financially successful statements with appearance more important than substance.
Communally shared open areas used for mutual social development, sharing and growth, boundaries and divisions are scorned as artificial and keeping people apart as the whole community must share and have equal access to land and space for the common good of the everyone in the group. No one person nor group can be dominant.
Open areas, rural and natural land and space with no limits to access, ownership and use as everyone must be able to live in harmony with each other and the environment without restraints and restrictions, strong focus on the redistribution and sharing of any material gains and spoils for the sustainable benefit of all.

Religion Spirituality
at this level views God as an allpowerful, vengeful, controlling ruler, with human passions and weaknesses, who can be bought off.
is a whimsical “bolt from the blue,” and often takes on the form of idolatry, as individuals seek god-like status and deny their mortality
is the mainspring of life that holds the clan-tribe-family together, and gives meaning and purpose to life within the context of the group.
is an awareness that both nature and everyday life are influenced by the world of spirits, both good and evil, and needs to be placated through spirit guides – shamans, mediums, witch-doctors, gods & goddesses, holy men, elders, religious leaders; amulets, totems, signs, and relics of the magic.
is independent, entrepreneurial, strategic, and success-oriented.
is “feel-good,” “tell me more about me,” gushy, emotional, experiential, and multiplistic - many possible ways but one is best. God can be persuaded, and wants you to succeed in the here and now, and not wait for the there and then.
is organized, institutional, hierarchical in structure, purposive, and rule-bound.Rigidity, guilt, and dogmatism are high.
is self-sacrificing in nature, and is defined as specific beliefs and truths, a code of conduct, and as a contest between the forces of good and evil, which will be settled in the end time. The script is “written” and pre-determined; you simply follow it.
is integrative, flexible, inclusive, tolerant, functional, and contextual, with a flattened organizational pyramid.
is inner-directed, low on dogma, synergetic, but high on expressiveness, without being sacrificial.
is self-help, egalitarian, communitarian, consensual, and relativistic, but intolerant. Rigidity is high, dogmatism is low. Don’t know what they believe, but they are certain about it.
is inner-oriented, mystical, focused on internal peace, harmony, and togetherness, and on connectedness to “natural forces”. Seeks understanding and integration of the mind, soul, and consciousness. God is within. Is harmonic with PURPLE.
is a living, order-seeking system of interlinked causes and effects, that transcends the usual human barriers, to create global community in harmony with all forms of life (not just human) in a single ecosystem.
is holistic in nature, encompassing four dimensions: the vertical to God, the inward to self, the horizontal to humankind, the outward to nature. It stands in awe of the cosmic order, with a macro view of how all of life (human and non-human) interconnects with the divine with a sense of order and purpose.

“Conditions" “Organism” Movement and stasis along the developmental Spiral Movement and stasis along the developmental Spiral Movement and stasis along the developmental Spiral - either up or down - are reflections of the interaction between Life Conditions (the conditions-without which combine the historic times, physical place, psycho-social existence problems, and socio-economic circumstances) and the VMEMEs accessible in the individual or collective mind (the systems-within). Generally, the evolution is toward more elaborated, more complex and inclusive ways of being - "higher" levels. However, life is without guarantees and there can also be regressions to previous, less complex, "lower" level structures. In either case, the active VMEMEs are the containers for ideas and the essence of value systems, weltanschauuns, and the many "real" worlds that exist in parallel - sometimes in conflict, sometimes in confluence - on earth today.

Becomes abstract, other-worldly, tuned into frequencies and energy systems that transcend the anything practical. Little use for people or community because of interaction with life forces in nature, through media and information net-works. Often condescending to those who are not “tuned in”
