This week this story came in from a person in the United States and I am one hundred percent sure this person belongs in our “Mystic” group. He claims he never went through any of the stages and started out at the Mystic level as a child. This may well be the case. However, even though his story shows no progression through any stages, it certainly does give us a clear idea of how a mystic approaches spiritual concerns.

course, I am writing to tell you my story, which I believe Read the rest of this entry »

On April 14, I posted “My Own Stage One Story.” That was an instance from my own experience that highlights what it was like to be in that less developed stage. I felt small and powerless. I saw no other way of obtaining the coveted Read the rest of this entry »

I have been thinking, if we all pass through the lower stages as we develop, then there has to be a time when all of us were at Stage One - called the Lawless Stage in some places on this blog. Well, searching my childhood memories, I have come up with a story of my own from that stage.
When I was little for some reason I had a strong fascination with nurse’s kits. I don’t think this sort of toy is Read the rest of this entry »

In reading over a lot of the stories I am working with a pattern seems to be arising. Ok, I know I do not have a statistically significant sample size and double blind studies to work off of, but maybe my observation could trigger some solid research on the part of people with the credentials to do so.
I have worked with a lot of Rational level stories by now and Read the rest of this entry »

So it turns out David Keirsey’s son runs this website http://www.personalityzone.com which is related to his father’s work, mentioned in my last post from March 31. I was able to contact Keirsey’s son through the site and ask him whether his father had found that temperament styles could change over time. I did this in hopes of shedding any light on whether the temperament styles could be related to our belief stages. Well, his reply was that they have evidence that temperament styles are formed very early in a person’s existence and are not subject to change over time. However, he did state that a person’s personality is a combination of their temperament style PLUS their character….and personality can and does change over time!
So that was helpful. Whether there really is any correlation between the temperament styles and our stages or not is still a bit up in the air, but at least there are factors allowing for the possibility of change over time.
