From a friend. On higher human potential and the Transcendence of maslows hierarchy.

Behavioral scientist Abraham Maslow's work on the Hierarchy of Needs was somewhat accepted by Psychology, and much was soundly rejected; as the ego-centric could not accept that his Self-Actualization was merely a stepping stone to a Higher Level of Human Potential called Transcendence.

As Maslow understood it, Transcendence was the very highest and most holistic level of human consciousness. This level consciousness transcended basic needs, culture, ego esteem, positives and negatives, and even Space-Time constructs.

Among Abraham Maslow's friends and collaborators was Dr Clare Graves, whose Human Evolutionary Development model (now called Spiral Dynamics) complimented Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. These two were "open to learning at any time and from any source, like bees that gather nectar from many flowers."

Some of the greatest misperceptions of the Graves Model, and Becks Spiral Dynamics interpretation came from their failure to recognize that not only can Levels be skipped, but it is much easier to skip from SD-4 or SD-5 to SD-7, than going from SD-6 to SD-7.

Level 6 ... which Beck called 'Green,' is the worse, ego-centric consciousness of all Evolutionary levels.

"The person operating at the 6th level must realize that everything that human beings have ever believed in, is by and large, wrong." Dr Clare Graves.

Dr Clare Graves said, " the 6th level of thinking (those who desire a tribal container) are an attack upon nature and Nature's Laws, that should be around for the shortest period of time of any of the lower ways of thinking that we have had"

All Spiral Dynamics groups that I'm aware of are closely controlled by Level 5 and 6 personalities ... thus an impediment to Higher Human Potential.

"Less than one in a hundred people become fully self-actualized (SD-7) because our society rewards motivation primarily based on esteem" - Dr. Abraham Maslow.

Integration of Yin and Yang is best during SD-4 and SD-5 ... the Community paradigm of SD-6 IS NOT the next Buddha, but a most difficult and needless Stepping Stone trap consumed within a pluralist delusion that views Higher Human Potential as a threat to their Anarcho-Justice Warrior Community, Regressive Left autocracy, Oligarchical Collectivism, participatory trophies, and Woke agenda.

Beck solidified the (Green) misperception of an upward hierarchical manner of development. In other words his disastrous short-sightedness in that we do not skip levels. On the contrary, not only can Levels be leaped, but it is essential to realize that SD-6 must be leaped, or one becomes consumed within a pluralist delusion that views Higher Human Potential as a threat to their Tribal, Community meme.


Dr. Clare Graves said, "this theory is a systems conception of personality which may be able to integrate everything that has been put down in the literature about human behavior." Thus, Gabrielle Roth's Five Rhythms overlays without contradiction.

World Peace will NEVER come by way of forced community ... but by individuals taking the Momentous Leap to Self-Actualization and Transcendence.
