A Formidable Development Tool

Again, I am writing about the Graves Value System here. Why do I believe this framework is so powerful?

Well, it introduces humankind's universal development stages, the origins of different traits and tools, and their interrelation. It is a practical way of developing awareness, tolerance, and appreciation for people with different traditions, personalities and backgrounds.

As Steven Covey once said “Every human has four endowments; self-awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom. The power to choose, to respond, to change.”

This model is such that individuals can identify with the characteristics of archetypal personas at each level, they can make sense of their past and define their desired path ahead more effectively.

It has helped me greatly in making more sense of my past, my life and where I want to take it. One of the reasons why I am so passionate about sharing this key to personal growth. Additionally, this is the first step towards a more inclusive, caring society.

“The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.”

This is all part of my upcoming book, The Turquoise Brick Road. There is a soft launch end of October and a public one on Jan, 3rd 2021 because it is Clare W. Graves’ 35th anniversary. Next week, it is time have a quick look at relationships and how much they are part of our nature.
