This diagram symbolizes the rise and fall of psyche stage dominance through the life of a highly evolved individual in our culture. The peaks represent approximate periods when a person’s conscious and unconscious are aligned in the same stage. This means that their psyche is balanced between the conscious and unconscious sub-systems.
It is normal that we begin to transform into each psyche stage first in our conscious, intellectual life and later we become aware consciously of our unconscious, emotional life. For some time after we first enter a new stage, we behave as split humans – Our conscious becoming dominant in the new stage and our emotions remaining dominant in an earlier stage. Great confusion, turmoil and troublesome behavior can result. Split people are problems for themselves and for others. For example, fundamentalist Terrorists tend to be split between unconscious Stage C emotions and conscious Stage D intellect and emotions.
The Key idea is – If you understand the dominant psyche stage patterns of individuals and groups you can know how to lead, organize and manage them for maximum performance consistent with their stage patterns – Not Yours. This is a foundation for Isis Group leadership work – You cannot lead anyone without knowing who you are and who others are in Human Psyche System stage evolution. This is what Rudolf Steiner said – Only those who understand life can become truly practical persons.
