Holy Shift! (Part 4): Spiral Dynamics 2.0 | Jake Haber

In this week’s message, we explore the lenses through which we see the world—how they shape our spiritual journey and understanding of reality. We take a deep dive into Spiral Dynamics 2.0, reframing stages of development as different lenses through which we experience life.

 

From the earliest human survival instincts (Beige) to ritual and tribe (Purple), through power (Red), order (Blue), innovation (Orange), and compassion (Green), we see how each stage shapes society and spirituality.

 

But what happens when we step beyond personal enlightenment and into a collective awakening? We explore the Second Tier of consciousness—Yellow and Turquoise—where complexity meets integration, and love expands to universal levels. This shift is profound, disorienting, and yet deeply necessary as we move beyond black-and-white thinking into a space of wisdom, fluidity, and interconnection.

 

Are we evolving? Where is this all headed? The next leap isn’t just about you—it’s about us.

 

Join us as we explore the edges of human thought, spirituality, and evolution.

 

Quotes:

 

Jon Kabat-Zinn:

“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”

 

Deepak Chopra:

“Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not.”

 

Ken Wilber:

“What’s so interesting about the Second Tier is that it doesn’t just see other worldviews—it understands why they exist, what their function is, and how they can be integrated into a greater whole…. First Tier consciousness is locked in ‘either/or’ thinking, believing its worldview is right and others are wrong. Second Tier transcends this battle and sees that all perspectives have a role to play in evolution…. The emergence of Second Tier is the greatest revolution in human thought, one that moves beyond ideology into functional wisdom.”

 

 Walt Whitman:

“Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes.”

 

Richard Rohr:

“Maturity is the ability to live with ambiguity.”

Jean Gebser:

“Enlightenment is not just a personal experience, but a field of collective resonance.”

 

Michael Beckwith:

“You don’t have to convince people to evolve. You just have to live your truth so fully that it calls to those who are ready.”
