#28 Lines of Development
Inspired by: Ken WilberDiscuss this Big Idea in the Forums!
Stephen Covey calls them “Roles (& Goals),” Tony Robbins calls ‘em “Categories of Improvement,” and Ken Wilber and the Integral Institute call ‘em “Lines of Development.”
Just think about the different aspects of our lives we can improve: our cognitive line of development, our spiritual, physical, creative, emotional, professional, moral, artistic, interpersonal, etc.
The idea is that we’re at different stages of development/excellence for each line. An extreme example? Hitler. Very high cognitive development. Very (!!!) low moral development.
So, we can be highly evolved on one line and not on another. Take a peak at how you’re doing in each. Are you particularly strong in one or more lines? Are you being pulled down b/c of lower development in another?
May want to take an inventory today and start building practices to develop a line or three!
(One of my favorite lines from Ken during one of his talks was his admonition to not become a “metaphysical glutton”—trying to do everything at once. :) So pick an area or two or three to focus on and play with it!)
And, you can learn more about lines of development with the Integral Life Practice at www.myilp.com. Fun.

If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.
