Stage Purple – Spiral Dynamics

Stage Purple

As human consciousness evolves, those at Stage Beige move through to Stage Purple. During this second ascension up the spiral, people tend to form tribes and understand cause and effect, as opposed to perceiving events as merely ‘random’, a typical thought process found at Stage Beige. This type of thinking creates mystical and magical beliefs; linking events to other tribe members or other-worldly spirits, which can be seen as the very origin of spirituality. 

In 2020, Purple represents around 10% of the adult population but holds just 1% of the power. With its relatively low level of development, Purple has little to no influence in broader global concerns. You may notice a purple culture by their practice of child-sacrifice; those who believe in guardian angels and groupings bonded over mystical or magical beliefs. Purple rely heavily on the tribe and a strong relationship to nature for their survival.

At stage purple, the world is frightening and mysterious. Spirits must be controlled by offering sacrifices or gifts, and people will naturally form tribes to survive. They look to the gods, higher powers and tribal rituals for safety and protection. 

 


The Origin Of Purple

This level of development first occurred approximately 40,000 – 50,000 years ago. The ice-age meant that humans had less space to live and had to transition from being lone-wolves (Stage Beige) into Groupings (Stage Purple), usually in subtropical areas. At this point, Humans began to look to nature and their group members as a means for survival.

Unhealthy Manifestations

  • Stage purple cling to tradition and tend to be ‘closed’ to anything outside of that

Moving into Red

As purple evolve, they move into Stage Red; founded on the order and security provided by the ‘tribe’ at stage purple. As consciousness transitions into stage red, we see the emergence of the individual ‘ego’ and a shift from collectivism. Consciousness moves from ‘survival of the tribe’ to ‘survival of the fittest’, and an essence of power is formed.
