anyone here a spiral dynamics fan

@s4w44k

[goreanne]

doing the very best i can to support and promote this new webcomic Spiral Dynamics because its such a cool concept following an incredible art style and it deserves so much recognition... i mean the creator is literally creating most of the fandom content because his fanbase is so small.

pictured are some promo pics/artwork by the creater Sacha (s4w44k on all platforms!)

the story follows our (trans 😼) MC as he falls deeper into delusion the more he investigates a strange church in Scotland, so much so that he can't tell what's real anymore. also, sexy goth priest.

please check out Spiral Dynamics on webtoon or support Sacha on patreon or any of his social media because it's genuinely such a good story that deserves so much love!!

Live-threading my thoughts while listening to the Thereafter podcast episode featuring Phil Drysdale

The following is a transcript of the live-thread I posted while listening to Thereafter podcast episode 102.

So the good folks over at @thereafterpodcast dropped a new episode earlier this week. I'm finally finding time to have a listen and post a few thoughts. Let's do this!

.@thepursuinglife: "It's getting a little Driscoll-y here." Worst weather possible. @thereafterpodcast

.@cortlandcoffey is talking about the Power Team, which I had never heard of. Apparently, there's a lot of shit in evangelical culture I was spared from. @thereafterpodcast

Since @cortlandcoffey and @thepursuinglife are talking about Driscoll's reaction at the men's conference over the sword swallower and the figthing it caused, I thought I'd share my comment from a post about the incident over at @friendly.atheist's blog. @thereafterpodcast

Since I mentioned it, here's a link tot he blog post by @friendly.atheist. @thereafterpodcast

Christian Men's Conference descends into chaos over sword-swallowing acrobat

"You’re out of line, Mark… You’re done," Mark Driscoll was told after comparing the performance to a stripper routine

.@thepursuinglife is suggesting the whole incident was a staged event to promote Driscoll's new book about the Jezebel spirit. I'm not sure whether to tease her about being a conspiracy theorist or admit she may be on to something. (Can I do both?) @thereafterpodcast

.@thepursuinglife is talking about the absolute hypocrisy of so-called "pro-lifers" making death threats. Yes, that's a thing. @thereafterpodcast

I'll also mention that I am among those who refuse to call people who oppose abortion as "pro-life." As far as I'm concerned calling them "anti-choice" or "pro forced birth" is more accurate. @thereafterpodcast

.@cortlandcoffey: "These people have never been 'pro-life' outside of the womb." Exactly. And they're not entirely "pro-life" inside the womb. When was the last time you saw a forced-birther advocate for universal healthcare for pregnant people? That'd be life-saving for more than one fetus. @thereafterpodcast

On to the interview with @phildrysdale! @thereafterpodcast

I will note that @phildrysdale doesn't seem to be all that active on Threads anymore. I'll still link to his Threads account in this thread for conveniences. But you might want to check him out someplace where he's more active recently. Such as Instagram @thereafterpodcast

Welcome back to Instagram. Sign in to check out what your friends, family & interests have been capturing & sharing around the world.

.@phildrysdale says he "did Christianity hard." Insert juvenile boner joke here. (Consider who is posting this thread. What did you expect?) @thereafterpodcast

.@phildrysdale is talking about the difficulty of finding someone you can ask the difficult questions to safely and I feel that. @thereafterpodcast

@cortlandcoffey is asking @phildrysdale why it seems so common for people to leave one high control group to only end up in another one. Interestingly, he seems to be mostly focused on the tendency of some deconstruction spaces' tendencies to be high control at times, and I think that's an accurate thing to be concerned about. @thereafterpodcast

I think @phildrysdale's answer raises some good points. This is also where I'd add to it by going back to "The Authoritarians" by Bob Altemeyer and how he talks about that many authoritarian followers seek authorities as a way to feel safe. So it makes sense that people would often fall back into that habit and seek a new authority to provide a new sense of safety. @thereafterpodcast

The Authoritarians may be obtained various ways and in various formats: A free full version of the book is available in pdf format (1.39 Mb)

Oh, @phildrysdale did get into the "safety through security/following an authority" aspect of things later in his answer! @thereafterpodcast

They're about to get into spiral dynamics. Hopefully they include a definition of what spiral dynamics are, because this is a totally new term for me. @thereafterpodcast

Okay, I love how @phildrysdale just worked a thinly veiled Trump joke into this discussion 23/10. @thereafterpodcast

So spiral dynamics is specifically focused on being a model for how we develop our values? Kinda cool. I definitely want to learn more. @thereafterpodcast

I think I'm starting to see the "spiral" part of spiral dynamics. Very interesting @thereafterpodcast

.@cortlandcoffey is asking @phildrysdale about his perspective on Christian apologists' recent treatment of deconstruction. This should be interesting. @thereafterpodcast

.@phildrysdale indictes that he was interviewed for the book "The Deconstruction of Christianity" in which he provided a lot of data, and none of it made it into the book. Incredibly revealing indeed. @thereafterpodcast

Total tangent: I'm considering watching the video of Greg Locke debating a pastor that believes the earth is flat. From what I've heard, it might be mildly interesting. But I'm not sure how I'll feel about actually thinking Greg Locke is the one in the right. (Well, from what I've heard, he was a total ass by the end of that video, so I'm using "in the right" very loosely here.) @thereafterpodcast

.@phildrysdale has perfectly described the difference between dialogue and most debates. @thereafterpodcast

Interesting. @thepursuinglife's reaction to people asking her what books she should read when deconstructing is essentially the same reaction whens someone asks me what books to read to get into Paganism and/or witchcraft. @thereafterpodcast

.@phildrysdale talks a lot about childhood development and uses examples from that for analogies. It's quite fascinating. @thereafterpodcast

.@phildrysdale is talking about how uncomfortable we can feel when remembering or being confronted with the things we used to believe and do. I can totally relate to that, especially when I consider how those things might have harmed others at the time. I wonder if I ever actively caused someone harm and if they've been able to heal from that since. @thereafterpodcast

I often think of the one young man who was in our youth group who later came out as gay. Was he struggling when I was leading the youth group. And I have to consider how I may have harmed him by what I didn't do. After all, I led that group for two years after I accepted that I was gay, but I never came out. How much comfort might he have found if I had put myself out there back then? @thereafterpodcast

Wow, I don't usually get this introspective and heavy during these live-threads. My apologies. @thereafterpodcast

I will note that my parents have kept in touch with that young man and his family. So I know he's happily partnered (I don't know whether they've formerly gotten married) and quite happy. So I take comfort in that.

In fact, I saw his parents (who I also knew) at my mother's memorial service. That was a pleasant moment, though we didn't get long to talk. @thereafterpodcast

I think that @cortlandcoffey is trying to get at the question of how to develop community with a wide diversity of views and experiences. @thereafterpodcast

.@phildrysdale is talking about the perception of many deconstructing people feeling like they're alone vs. the data. I think it's great to acknowledge that while feelings are always valid, but they're not always an accurate perception of reality. Learning to balance those two truths is important. @thereafterpodcast

Of course, it raises the question: If you're not alone, how do you find the others? @thereafterpodcast

.@phildrysdale just told about a guy who was deconstructing who wanted to meet other people and have them over to his house for a weekly worship session. My mind boggles. @thereafterpodcast

On the topic of finding communities, I'll also suggest that most of us need to find multiple communities in order to meet all our various needs. @thereafterpodcast

Another wonderful episode! @thereafterpodcast

Applying Spiral Dynamics in the practice of Coaching - xMonks

Katherine’s version of Spiral Dynamics for Coaching provides a base to the journeys of people who are trying to seek connection to our authentic and holistic selves.

Beginning with some models, we dived deeper into the concept of Spiral Dynamics. We begin with the model of ‘The Hero’s Journey’ which is very common in creating movies and storytelling. It helps us establish the relationship between the external and internal world. It talks about the mentors who we need along the journey. It helps us understand the gaps that come in the way of different stages of human and personality development
