Today we discuss the Warrior level of consciousness as human world-views evolved from the more simplistic, Tribal level or stage.
Once again, we refer to the work of Don Beck and Chris Cowan, "Spiral Dynamics" as the basis for our discussion of the Biblical Narrative in lieu of world history. Israel's interpretation of God and God Identity was shaped through the red lens (warrior) of power and dominator hierarchies.
God did not evolve into a different God as the Narrative progresses, but rather, human consciousness evolved as humans grappled with the nature of identity.
The Warrior level represented a lot of deconstruction and chaos. The previous tribal level functioned primarily through isolation and separation of groups, but as populations encountered each other war became the default way of dealing with differences.
The Warrior level is ever present, even today, as the egoic response to perceived threats. We discuss how many people in the Christian religion have suffered at the hands of those in power. Fear is the major weapon of choice for silencing those who dare question the power brokers.
Jesus experienced first hand this mindset. As we continue to grow beyond 2000 year old paradigms, we should expect nothing less. When the ego attaches to a form for identity, the blood will flow when that identity is threatened.
Thanks for joining the conversation!
