Spiral Dynamics was a revolution to me. I used to despair about the state of the world, finding only errors in our past. Suddenly there was this model that showed stages of evolution, with a meaning, with their lights and their shadows, suggesting hope of surmounting our current sufferings and continuing onwards. The Integral Theory also played well with my curiosity, my appetite for enlarging my horizon and my ability at combining seemingly distant fields. The discovery of Jung’s thought several years later gave even more sense to this willingness to connect various fields and topics together, along the path to individuation.
This taste for seeming opposites manifests in my professional life, starting out as an engineer and moving on to being a graphic designer, IT developer and conflict mediator.
After years of inner work and profound transformation, I have found in the Swiss Integral Politics movement a home where I can manifest this back in the outer world.
