Appendix A: TABLES

Table 1: STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT – Life Passages

This Table traces human development in the external Realm of Life Passages.  Life Passages are the external phases of accomplishment or achievement that occur as we progress through the biologic life cycle.  The human life cycle can be divided into ten Stages (colored rows), plus two more for before-birth and after-death.  Between each two Stages is a Transition (italicized grey rows).  Life Passages is the only Table that uses as a benchmark (vertical axis) the actual Stages of biological development – rather than the psycho-spiritual Stages of the FDS (see Table 2).

Table 2: FUNDAMENTAL DEVELOPMENTAL SEQUENCE (FDS) / CHAKRAS

For the internal Passages of Psyche, Body, and Spirit, the entire series of alternating Stages and Transitions is called the Fundamental Developmental Sequence (FDS).  Derived from the Tables of Ken Wilber,[1] the FDS consists of 38 distinct steps.  These steps can be consolidated into 12 developmental Clusters, – consisting of 12 Stages, separated by 11 Transitions.  Step numbers are shown in the left-hand column; Stages and States are indicated by bands of color comprising several rows; Transition rows are italicized in grey.

Within those 12 Clusters, the seven central Stages are known in Eastern philosophy as the Chakras.  From a Western perspective, the Chakras are a consolidation, condensation, or simplification of the FDS into seven basic Stages.  From an Eastern perspective, the Chakras are energy phenomena that manifest themselves simultaneously in the three internal Realms of Body, Psyche, and Spirit.  The simplified Chakras are shown in the right-hand column (with Wilber’s version in Column 3), using the colors traditionally assigned to each level.

Table 6: THE CHAKRAS: INTERNAL PASSAGES

From a Western perspective, the Chakras are a consolidation, condensation, or simplification of the FDS into seven basic Stages.  From an Eastern perspective, the Chakras are energy phenomena that manifest themselves simultaneously in all three internal Realms of Body, Psyche, and Spirit.  In the simplified schema below, the Chakras are shown in the left-hand column, with examples from the three internal Realms in the next three columns.  The colors are those traditionally assigned to each Chakra.

Table 7: ARENAS (Life Passages)

Arenas are the spheres of action, the types of experience, the themes of development, or the aspects of personal evolution within each Realm in which growth takes place.  Life Passages are the external phases of accomplishment or achievement that occur as we progress through the biologic life cycle.  The Realm of Life Passages includes the ten different Arenas shown below.

 

 

 

Table 8: ISSUES OF THE RELATIONSHIP ARENA
(Life Passages)

At each Stage of life, and within each Arena, we grow by encountering certain key Issues.  These challenging Issues must be addressed and resolved to transition successfully to the next Stage.  In the Arena of Relationships and Marriage, we build intimate relationships that are happy, stable, and mutually supportive -- and seek to find the right life partner.  In this Arena the following Issues may assume major importance.

Life cycle step	Stages/ Transitions	Age of Emergence (approx. years)	Relationship situations	Typical issues
25	Legacy	After-death	Influence on descendents	Passing along a lifetime of wisdom and experience.  Adding to family and cultural traditions.

Table 9: ENNEAGRAM ROLES

The Persona (or Role) is our ‘public face’ -- the set of attributes and behaviors we construct to enable the Self to play a part in the drama of existence.  The Enneagram is a particular system for categorizing (‘typing’) Personae.  An Enneagram Role (‘Enneagram Type’) is the fundamental cluster of attributes by which the Self manifests its public character.  According to Enneagram theory, every person exhibits one of nine dominant Roles.  Each Role is endowed with Traits that can become fixated, or can evolve as the person grows.

 

 

Table 10: CULTURE PASSAGES

Culture Passages are the internal (cultural) and external (societal) phases of development that occur as mass populations progress through the Stages of cultural growth.  In the simplified schema below, Culture Passages progress through seven Chakra-related Stages of Development (column 1) -- following a growth path similar to individuals, but spread over eons of time (column 2).  The Spiral Dynamics[11] model (column 4) is perhaps the most popular and influential contemporary system of Culture Passages.  In any present-day culture, vestiges of all previous cultural Stages are still to be found (column 5).  For a more comprehensive treatment, see Arrays, Table 6A-D.

Chakras	Ascendance	Cultural stages	Spiral Dynamics (Graves, Beck)	Cultural layers in modern America (Martin, Beck)

Table 11: GENERATIONAL CYCLES[12]

A Generation is the biological period of life, normally about 20-25 years, between the time one is born and the time one first procreates.  The Generational Cycle is a series of four characteristic Generations – Prophetic, Reactive, Civic, Bureaucratic – which dynamic cultures repeatedly pass through.  The Table below outlines the five Generational Cycles that have occurred in America since it was first colonized.  For each Generation, the range of possible birth dates is shown, along with prominent members who were born during that period.

Generation number	Generation Cycle	Prophetic	Reactive	Civic	Bureaucratic
7	Translucent?
6	Vision-logic?
5	Millenial	Boomer (1943-1960) Steve Jobs, Steven Spielberg	X-Gen (1961-1981) Tom Cruise, Curt Cobain	Millenial (1981-2001?) Dakota Fanning, Frodo Baggins	Protected? (2001-?)
