So, I think a lot about development. And I wrote several posts about development on this blog. It fascinates me how things move along a certain pattern. A pattern that might look very different from any other pattern, but what might be similar on a certain level. Most of those posts and most of my… Continue reading About Development, Values and Transitions

Development of Perception
The way we perceive the world is totally different from the way a young child perceives the world. I always understood that was the case, but I could never really imagine how that child would perceive the world. Or how that would develop into how we, as adults, view the world. David Bohm describes that… Continue reading Development of Perception
Time and the Meaning of Life
[youtube width=”500″ height=”400″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgY2zFxeJDU[/youtube] The first part of the meaning of life, is to build a personality with strong values. Values that are worth defending. Use them to choose a direction, stick with it and make it a succes. Challenge the cultural background and make decisions on personal experience.

Creativity Grows on Insight and Understanding
[youtube width=”500″ height=”400″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOBzIgfVOPU[/youtube] Creativity has an inherent order that grows on insight and understanding. It has to develop according to that. It might need rules and boundaries to keep growing in a certain direction. It might need ideas from others to grow even further … but … only after a certain amount of independent growth.… Continue reading Creativity Grows on Insight and Understanding
The Physical, Aesthetical and Moral Stage of Development
In letter XXIV of his aesthetic letters, Schiller mentions three stages of development. He says there is a development that each individual, as well as the whole of humanity, has to go through. It is also a development that has to happen in a certain order. Each stage can be longer or shorter with each individual,… Continue reading The Physical, Aesthetical and Moral Stage of Development
Patterns of Meaning that Develop over Time
Recently I was thinking about information. How ‘real’ is our knowledge? My thoughts on that went into many directions (as usual) but I kept coming back to something the writer David Foster Wallace said in an interview. I came across this writer because several people mentioned him. The first time was a while ago, when… Continue reading Patterns of Meaning that Develop over Time
Following the Process
It is the process that is essential in David Bohm’s experiment with language and thought. This process is something that can be seen in personal human development as well. It is a process that takes place with not always the same emphasis on every step. This development can also be seen in the zodiac, and in… Continue reading Following the Process
Describing Personal Development
For some time now, I am trying to describe my view on human development. But so far I could not get it done in a way that made much sense. I really had a hard time finding the right words to say what I meant to say. I kept trying but until now, most of… Continue reading Describing Personal Development
Beneath the World of Logic
In my previous post, The meaning of values, I differentiated between 3 types of values and I wanted to see how they relate to the basic model that I use on this blog. But because I already was trying to make my point about the relation between the meaning of life and the meaning of… Continue reading Beneath the World of Logic
The Meaning of Values
These last days my thoughts were mainly focused on values. Why we have them and how we use them. I wanted to write a blogpost about the meaning of life but could not exactly get my point across. While I was thinking about what I actually was trying to say, I came across another blogpost… Continue reading The Meaning of Values
The Difference between Integrity and Honesty
Recently on a forum someone asked for opinons about the difference between integrity and honesty. I thought that was a really interesting question. I indeed view them different but never thought about why exactly. Like many other words, those two represent a whole world of meaning. They are used all the time and most of… Continue reading The Difference between Integrity and Honesty
Development, Evolution and Transformation
Still discussing the transformation of consciousness, I suddenly realised something. Transformation is a word I tend to use a lot, but also a word like development. So what exactly is the difference and what is the resemblance. And also what is the difference of those two with evolution. First I will go and look up… Continue reading Development, Evolution and Transformation
12 Phases of Blogging
These are 12 phases a blogger might go through. It is a cycle for all development, so I thought why not for blogging. It is a cycle that can take a whole (blogging) lifetime, but it can also be something that you go through very fast, or only partly. For some the focus is very… Continue reading 12 Phases of Blogging
More than One Spirit
Although spirit and soul are words that have all kinds of different meanings, I just have to use them here because I have no other way of describing the way I see the human development. So in the zodiac I use them for the fire signs (spirit) and the water signs (soul). In the post… Continue reading More than One Spirit
Three Levels of the Mind
The individual mind of the previous post Ignorance and Projection is different from the primordial and the universal mind. In the zodiac there are three basic levels. These levels are seen everywhere and in everything, but here it is used for the individual human development of the mind. ‘Primordial’Â is used for the pre-individual phase… Continue reading Three Levels of the Mind
Human Development
Okay, so the words that I want to use in the context of this blog are clear now, defined on the page Basics. The next step is to describe my understanding of development. Development as a growth in complexity that can be seen everywhere around us and which is perfectly reflected in the cycle of… Continue reading Human Development
Ego Development
(Model is turned, see the post Basic Concepts) What I like most about the zodiac is that it shows a development in a development. Every sign can be seen at every level. And I think life, as it is an ongoing proces, goes through al stages all the time. But that does not mean that… Continue reading Ego Development
Development in the Zodiac
1. Impulsion (aries) Activity that is self-motivated, unaffected by others. New beginnings, the start of new cycles, birth, vitality. Aggressive, willful, assertive. Focused in short bursts, unlikely to sustain interest in the long term. Adventurous, pioneering, warrior-type energy, impatient, works best alone. Unconcerned with approval or acceptance. Lacks persistence and stamina. Honest and forthright. 2.… Continue reading Development in the Zodiac
