stages of development Pre-Conventional Traditional/pre-modern/pre-rational (amber) The traditional value system is characterized by words like conservative, purposeful, authoritarian, and absolutistic. For people predominantly holding this value structure, the world seems to be an ordered existence under control of an ultimate truth. For those with this core value, life has meaning, direction, and purpose with predetermined outcomes. They tend to be strongly conventional and conformist, fundamentalist, and obey the rule of Order. They believe that there is one right way and only one right way to think about everything, that everybody has their proper place, and that laws, regulations and discipline build character and moral fibre. People with traditional value systems typically control impulsivity through guilt and find purpose in causes and dedication to crusades. Externally, they construct hierarchically-based organizations, rigid law enforcement systems, and benevolent/charitable programs for the needy as part of forming a just society with places for everyone. Conventional Modern/rational (orange) Uses scientific rigor, quantitative methodologies, and concrete problem solving to address tangible material needs. Characterized by centralized power and extractive, linear flows of non-local resources from territories. Notable advances include technology, medicine, education and communications, as well as contributing to the foundations for democracy, economic prosperity, gender equality, and civil rights.




stages of development

Post-conventional Postmodern/pluralistic (green) Brings participatory and emancipatory methodologies that engage local beneficiaries as active contributors to, and co-creators of, social change. Promotes and emulates circular economies and heterarchical decision making; is embedded in, and reinforces, "local." Notable advances include community based approaches to natural resource management and local economic sufficiency, decentralized governance, addressing unjust power dynamics, as well as fostering human rights, gender equality, and ecological sustainability, among many others. Integral Integral/systemic (teal/turquoise) Includes the interiority of communities with the objectives of economic security and environmental sustainability, and also works with the transformative processes of personal empowerment. Seeks to integrate the positive aspects of the conventional and alternative systems. Notable advances include and all quadrant approach (addressing socioeconomic, political, and ecological needs, as well as psychological, cultural, and emotional needs); a framework for working with developmental psychology (I-Is); a focus on creating conditions for self development; and tools for identifying local worldviews and appropriately translating communications.

lines of development




lines of development

In the Upper Left quadrant – that of our individual consciousness there are a number of well researched development lines.

Development Line Question asked Research

Cognitive line What am I aware of? Piaget, Kegan

Moral line What should I do? Kohlberg, Gilligan

Interpersonal line How should we interact? Seimen, Perry

Spiritual line What is of ultimate concern? Fowler

Needs line What do I need? Maslow’s

Emotional line How di I feel about this? Goleman

Aesthetic line What is attractive to me? Housen

A set of social practices that corresponds with AQAL meta-theory. IMP is paradigmatic in that it includes the most t ime-honoured methodologies, and meta-paradigmatic in that it weaves them together by way of three integrative principles: nonexclusion, unfoldment, and enactment.

morphogenetic development

A morphic field is sometimes referred to as a morphogenetic f ield. Morphogenetic means developmental groove — it means structural or formal (morphic) creation or development (genetic). Morphogenetic field is a term often used in biology to refer to the patterns that govern the development of biological forms and structures, but Sheldrake’s point is that all holons (or morphic units) have morphogenetic fields, which is why he uses the terms Morphogenetic field and Morphic field interchangeably
