If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
- Lao Tzu

1 - minor adjustments (like a pilot, adjusting wing flaps)

2 - shuffle (resequencing, like a deck of cards, no additions or subtractions)

3 - upgrade (like a better computer, it already exists, just a better version)

4 - return to basics (downgrading, like a digit fast, getting back to nature, etc)

5 - challenge one (only one aspect or belief)

6 - challenge ALL (completely discarding all old aspects, transmutation, complete shift)

7 - transformation (discarding some old, adding some new, integrating the two together)

8 - Major, break-the-mold change (aliens arrive, death, loss of limb, etc)

Spiral Dynamics (SD) is a model of the evolutionary development of individuals, organizations, and societies. It was initially developed by Don Edward Beck and Christopher Cowan based on the emergent cyclical theory of Clare W. Graves, combined with memetics as proposed by Richard Dawkins and further developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. A later collaboration between Beck and Ken Wilber produced Spiral Dynamics Integral.
