How to Transcend your Current Stage of Development

• A period of crisis and regression before the higher level system emerged

  • the perspectives they had on life were inadequacy to solve the problems that they were facing

  • the old 'solutions' to former existential problems didn't apply to this new problem

  • growing pains and a sense of loss, or uncertainty about how to make sense of this new problem emerges and one must be faced with a crisis in order to make the jump to a higher level of meaning making

  • changing a stage of development induces discomfort, pain, losses, and uncertainty

• the need for the emergence of the next system as the only way to solve the problems one is facing

  • He must come by an insight which enables oneself to solve his new problem more effectively

  • the barriers, one’s family, friends, or the established and its way of thinking, must be overcome or ignored if the insight is to fully sink in.
