Listen "11 Journey Through Self: Advanced Ego Development II"
Episode Synopsis
We continue a detailed discussion on ego development.
Part two starts by recapping the first four stages—
Self-Centered,
Group-Centered,
Skill-Based, and
Self-Determined.
We then cover the fifth stage,
Self-Questioning,
which involves valuing authenticity over success and being open to differing opinions without needing to be right.
The sixth stage is
Self-Actualization,
where individuals integrate their whole self and lead from presence, experiencing flow states and systemic thinking.
Finally, the seventh stage,
Transcendence,
is described as a state of expansive awareness and unity, detached from personal identity and outcomes.
Each stage builds on the previous one and that development often involves periods of confusion and disorientation.
