Three Worldviews and Spiral Dynamics By Jack
Martin Leith What is a worldview? A worldview is
the overall perspective from which one sees and
interprets the world a collection of beliefs
about life and the universe held by an individual
or a group. A worldview is like the operating
system in a computer, controlling operations
behind the scenes but mostly outside the user's
awareness. When someone upgrades his or her
worldview, certain things that were previously
impossible become possible, and some things that
were difficult become easy. Each successive
worldview includes previous versions. This
slidedeck provides an introduction to my three
worldviews work and shows how they correspond
with five of the Spiral Dynamics Memes. Read

People embrace some aspects of systems thinking,
but their language betrays their firmly
entrenched Newtonian-Cartesian worldview, as do
their causality-based approaches to problem
solving, development, innovation and change

CHALLENGE To move beyondmoral judgements and
cause and effect thinking
CHALLENGE To acquire an enlightened
understanding of the nature of reality
Out beyond ideas of right doing or wrong doing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
