Episode #98

I have doubts about that the green ray Ra talks about can be equated to stage Green in Spiral Dynamics. As I understand it, green-ray activation is what enables a service-to-others social memory complex. That's a collective consciousness, a superorganism, way above even the second tier in Spiral Dynamics.

The colors of Spiral Dynamics are not the same as the true colors of the densities. Spiral Dynamics has chosen arbitrary colors just for contrast.

Ken Wilber has even changed the color Yellow to Teal, maybe the word 'yellow' sounded to lame for him, like how a SWAT team can be called team gold instead of team yellow, haha.

More seriously though they made a comparison in the podcast between going from Green (last stage in the first tier) to Yellow (first stage in the second tier) in Spiral Dynamics and green-ray activation in the Law of One. I suspect that those are two things with magnitudes of difference.

Imagine the perspective a single cell has in our body. And compare that to the perspective we have as a human being. I see the difference between Ra and Spiral Dynamics as the difference between the human perspective and the cell's perspective (the cell is in the analogy the separate human being).
