Maybe I should explain my perspective. They talked in the podcast about looking at things from different stages. Well, in this case I'm looking at it from an outrageously high perspective. I'm myself in ego consciousness so this is a form of fake it till you make it approach by me.
Picture, if you will, a married couple where both partners are at stage Yellow in Spiral Dynamics. Their marriage is going fairly well and they have only been close to a divorce once over a period of several years. From my perspective that kind of relationship is puny! And it's a total mess of conflicts.
In my other scenario we have trillions of cells coopering in harmony to make up the human body. Contrast that to only two individuals (the marriage example) hardly being able to have harmony in their relationship.
And a social memory complex is to me like the difference between separate cells and a whole multicellular organism. Spiral Dynamics in this analogy is about separate cells, while a social memory complex (of service-to-others kind) is like a multicellular organism. Even an individual at stage Turquoise in Spiral Dynamics is still like a single cell compared to the capacity of a whole human body. It's a humongous evolutionary leap into an entirely new level of organization. Dr. Bruce Lipton has described what he calls fractal evolution about a similar principle.
