Wild Entheology

Ubuntu - Spiral Dynamics Purple

Listen Later

In this episode we discuss Will's Spiral Dynamics Stage Purple mushroom trip. Spiral Dynamics is a theory of societal development in which each stage is a map of understanding utilized by societies at various periods in the past. Each subsequent stage evolves out of the previous stage's inability to adequately explain the ever changing reality as that society increases in population, technological capability, etc. Stage Purple is the map of understanding used in small tribes and so is integrated in our early life with our family and the beginnings of our schooling. As such, this episode covers Will's experience with bullying and how it defined his Stage Purple map of understanding. We hope you enjoy.

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.
