LEVELS (Basic Version)
Summary
TLDRThis video script delves into the concept of levels of thinking, drawing from psychological development theories by Jean Piaget and Abraham Maslow. It outlines six primary levels of consciousness, each with unique ways of perceiving reality, from basic survival instincts to complex global thinking. The script humorously explores how these levels influence behavior and decision-making, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's thought processes to foster personal growth. It also touches on the idea that higher levels of thinking are not always superior, but are necessary for navigating our complex modern world.

Outlines
🧠 Introduction to Levels of Thinking
The video script introduces the concept of levels of thinking, which are stages of psychological development studied by various researchers. It mentions famous models like Jean Piaget and Abraham Maslow, and explains that these levels are stages through which individuals develop, influenced by their environment, choices, culture, and innate brain structure. The script also humorously incorporates misspelled vegetables and a cactus to add levity. The video aims to explain these levels in a simplified manner and discusses the importance of understanding different perspectives and the evolution of thought from basic needs to global understanding.
🌱 The Developmental Quadrants and Stages
This paragraph delves into the specifics of the developmental quadrants, which include the mind, brain, culture, and society, and how they interplay in an individual's growth. It discusses the idea that people are not fixed at a certain level but rather develop the ability to think at higher levels over time. The script also touches on the concept of 'world-centered' understanding, where individuals begin to comprehend perspectives based on cultural backgrounds. Additionally, it introduces the first sponsored content for the video, promoting Atlas VPN with a Black Friday deal, emphasizing privacy protection and the avoidance of ads and malware.
🔄 Understanding the Levels of Awareness
The script explores the concept of levels of awareness, explaining that as one moves up the levels, their perception of the world becomes increasingly complex. It provides an example of the narrator's personal experiences and mistakes, illustrating how higher levels of awareness allow for self-reflection and understanding of one's actions and motivations. The paragraph emphasizes that higher levels do not equate to being a better person but rather to having a greater awareness and understanding of oneself and the world.
🤔 The Interaction of Levels in Social Scenarios
This paragraph uses an example of a social interaction to illustrate how different levels of thinking can influence behavior and decision-making. It discusses the progression from seeking validation, controlling interactions, to questioning the morality of one's actions. The script highlights the shift from personal desires to a broader understanding of right and wrong, and the emergence of individualism and global thinking as one ascends the levels of consciousness.
🌐 The Evolution of Morality and Social Norms
The script examines the evolution of morality and social norms through the levels of consciousness, starting from personal feelings and needs to the understanding of complex social relationships. It describes how individuals progress from a focus on personal survival to connecting with others, controlling social situations, and eventually to a sense of belonging and the adoption of a second-person perspective. The paragraph also introduces the concept of 'Diplomat,' marking the entry to the level of belonging, and the development of empathy and understanding through the mirroring of others' experiences.
🔭 The Role of Objective Observation and Perceiver's Role
This paragraph discusses the importance of objective observation and the role of the perceiver in shaping one's perception of reality. It explains the transition from personal and cultural perspectives to a global understanding and the acknowledgment of multiple valid perspectives. The script addresses the challenges of higher levels of development, such as the potential for moral relativism and the difficulty of objectively observing reality from the fourth-person perspective. It also introduces the concept of 'second-tier' consciousness, where levels integrate and harmonize previous levels of understanding.
🛑 The Challenges and Nuances of Higher Levels
The script addresses the complexities and potential pitfalls of higher levels of consciousness, such as the difficulty in discerning right from wrong when all perspectives are considered valid. It discusses the emergence of 'radical inclusiveness' and its consequences, such as the challenges in enforcing laws and maintaining social order. The paragraph also introduces the idea of 'construct awareness' at level eight, where individuals witness their own thoughts and feelings as they evolve over time, and the concept of 'witnessing' at level nine, where one observes the continuous change and evolution of their own consciousness.
📈 Strategies for Personal Growth and Self-Reflection
In the final paragraph, the script offers advice on personal growth, suggesting that self-reflection and understanding the origins of one's thoughts are key to moving up the levels of consciousness. It provides an example of how to question and deconstruct worries or fears, leading to a resolution that promotes self-acceptance and confidence. The paragraph concludes with a teaser for future video topics, including self-maximization, relationship advice, and an exploration of common delusions in the dating market.

so what the hell is this all about this
video is about levels of thinking it is
theoretical which is fascinating and it
also has colorful jokes I use this
diagram a lot in my videos because it
helps explain some of the wild things
that people say and do it's based on the
work of several researchers I'm trying
to make it easier to read for a wider
audience this is my interpretation of a
model of Consciousness that I studied it
includes quadrants levels lines States
and types today I'm talking about levels
I want to make a big long video explain
in each level in detail but for now I'm
just going to do this short version to
get it out of the way and get the ball
rolling but before we get started here
are some misspelled vegetables because
I'm told that it helps if I'm cute
here's a cactus so these levels are
stages of psychological development they
have been studied by numerous
researchers some of the most famous
models come from Jean P here's a
snapshot of his work and Abraham maslo
who had the hierarchy of needs everybody
is born down here and nearly everybody
gets up to at least this stage by
adulthood there are many factors that
determine how you will develop and when
including your surroundings your choices
your culture and the Brain you were born
with these are the quadrants they are
different ways of looking at reality in
this case this would be your mind your
brain your culture and your Society they
all happen at the same time because the
mind is the brain and culture is a lot
of minds and Society is what those Minds
do I should also say that people are
never really in a level you just slowly
develop the ability to think at higher
levels as you gain experience but we all
use the lower levels every day when you
have to use the bathroom for example
that's a level one process it's not a
complex style of thought it's just a
feeling or an urge so some people make
it up to higher stages and some people
never do most people on Earth spend most
of their time in these four stages and
this one is only very common in
modernized places and it's the first
stage where you can adopt a world-
centered level of understanding which
means understanding how people think the
way they do based on where they're from
before that level there are right and
wrong ways ways of thinking so you would
either be doing it right or you're not
and then they would say you're either
doing it right or you're not after that
it's more like well maybe I would think
that way if I was from there or maybe I
would be more like you if I lived your
life that's where Global thinking begins
speaking of global thinking this is my
first sponsored video it's brought to
you by Atlas VPN which allows you to
access all the stuff you like from all
over the globe it feels illegal but it's
not with Atlas VPN you can just go sorry

for free 30-day money back guarantee
protect your privacy other benefits
ridiculously low price click the link in
the video description below limited time
offer I hope it's also a limited time
that we stay in these lower levels of
thinking let's talk about what they are
and how they work and how to move on
before I get started I should say that
higher uh does not always mean better
some people watch my videos where I talk
about my mistakes and they say oh you
think you're at a high level you sound
like a jerk but higher doesn't mean
better person it means more aware so
here's the lower level of awareness
seeing things and then as you go higher
in the levels of awareness it becomes
much more complex you're seeing people
seeing people seeing almost into
infinity and so when I make mistakes in
here I usually know exactly why they're
happening I usually can say things like
I choose women who probably will not
stick around why because I don't think I
can support them anyway well why does
that matter well usually most of them
want a higher level of support that I
can provide and why does that matter
well it doesn't feel good when they
leave because I can't support them okay
well why do those feelings matter can
you change it some other way can you get
a better job or something well I tried
to do that I'm doing the best that I can
is there some way that you can change
the way you try to get money from the
world well I've already done everything
I can here and this kind of gets fuzzy
so why am I spending time with the wrong
woman comes back to this experience that
I've had over and over and over again
and I haven't been able to fix it's the
ability to see through what's going on
your mind and also to see through
similar levels of complexity in what's
going on in the world around you so it's
not about being good it's about getting
it moving up in the levels does not
always make you more effective in fact
this level is famous for making people
into hippies this is the point in
development where you begin to
understand that everyone has their own
way of seeing things and so who's to say
what we should and should not do this is
an illustration of an interaction from
each level this girl is getting
validation from a guy that she's not
interested in so she knows how to get
the validation and then she stands back
and she can plan how to give less to get
even more and then she looks at that and
asks well is that the right thing to do
not really but am I going to do it
anyway in this circumstance because I
think it would be better overall so
that's in order wanting something
knowing how to get it from someone
knowing how to control the interaction
knowing whether that's right or wrong
according to the rules that you live by
and then becoming the author of your own
sense of right and wrong and then when
you take another step back to this
hippie level it's like well who is
anyone to judge my choices my choices
are right for me and so there isn't
really such a thing as right and wrong
it's just what works for me that's why
they call that level the individualist
different people go through the levels
differently and when I went through this
one it really stressed me out I felt
like like I couldn't get my feet on the
ground I saw so many different ways of
seeing the world so many different
philosophies so many different life
choices and I didn't know how to pick
one and if I can't pick one then I can't
get anywhere so I would say I don't know
what to do and people would say just
pick something and I would say how do I
know what to pick and they would go pick
something you like and I would go how do
I know what I like so I really like to
plan things out I like certainty but at
this level you you realize that you're
never going to know what happens until
you try it so it goes what I see what
you see what works for for me what works
for us and then hey look those people
have a different thing that works for
them that's level five when you can say
okay I'm like this cuz I'm from here and
you're like that cuz you're from there
and then at level six it's like well
where I'm from is really just myself
everybody is just from their self and so
how can one self have an idea that's
better than any other self whereas at an
earlier level you might be able to say
something like well my dad was an
accountant and so I'm an accountant
that's just what we do and you don't
have have to deal with any of this
uncertainty so higher is more complex
but complex is not always good the way I
explain it is that you can have a really
good shoe or a really bad car and I
think what I have is a sinking cruise
ship so if hire is not always better
then why should we grow well because
higher is usually better if everyone was
at these lower levels we would not be
able to have grocery stores and
electricity we have a complex world and
it requires complex thinking and some
problems cannot be solved at the level
they came from everybody watching this
is going to have a different fingerprint
of development that means that your
different lines or capacities or the
ways that you use your intelligence are
all going to be developed to different
levels it's possible to be very lopsided
for example you could have your
cognitive line all the way up at 9 but
your moral line all the way down at 3
you could also be higher up than another
person overall but they're still way
better than you at a particular thing
for example this could be somebody who
really understands history and politics
to a high degree but has low empathy and
this would be someone who kind of gets
it but is great with people so as I go
through them one by one try to remember
where you went through them and what
that felt like and where you think you
are now okay level one I call this
survive because it's just basic moment
to moment what do I need do I need food
do I need sleep it's just my own
feelings and there's no such thing as
someone else's mind if we were living in
this level we would be in small survival
bands and we would not be thinking much
about each other's thoughts we would be
doing what we must in order to survive
level two I called connect because now
you can think about what is in someone
else's mind what does this person want
or need primitive people at this level
will sometimes do rain dances or throw
virgins in a volcano I'm not sure if
that's real but it's the kind of thing
you'd expect to see because at level two
you're realizing okay I have a mind and
I need things and other people have
minds and they need things so maybe it's
not raining because we haven't pleased
someone in the sky maybe the volcano is
angry because it wants something and
what do I want virgins so level two is
all about what I do affects what other
people think about me and what they do
for me basically like this if we were
living at level two we would be in small
tribal groups and we would be focused on
Safety and Security and maintaining
functional habits and dependable
practices just dayto Day level three I
called control this level is still very
popular in modern society so at level
one I have a mind with feelings and
needs and at level two I know that other
people have Minds with feelings and
needs and sometimes maybe I think a
volcano does too and at level three now
I know that other people are aware that
other people are aware that they have
feelings and needs so I know that these
people have a relationship to each other
the same way that I have a relationship
to this and to this and to this and to
this now I know he has a relationship to
her so instead of just direct
connections this creates social
situations here is a woman seeing man
bad on her phone and then she sees the
man in her life and goes oh wait a
minute if man bad then maybe that man
bad and then at level three you would
step back and say well what do I do
about this situation why is why is he
being bad and what can I do about this
relationship if we were living at this
level we would be living in something
like the Roman Empire Mythic feudal and
exploitative Empire you see this level a
lot in things like the Mafia and in
sports teams firemen police military so
even though these levels two and three
involve thinking about thinking it's
mostly just for the purpose of getting
what you want and having power over
others level four I called belong
because the primary drive is to fit in
and that drive is motivated by what they
call second person perspective so again
at level one you have your own feelings
urges and needs at level two you see
those of others and you can react to
them but it's still all about what those
feelings mean to you and at level three
you understand that you're in a complex
Social Web of relationships and you can
react to those relationships and exert
control over your situation and at level
four that's when you realize everyone is
in their own situation that's where we
get the classic folk wisdom of don't
judge somebody until you've walked a
mile in his shoes you are in this
situation over here but imagine if you
were him in this situation over here
maybe would have done what he did too
that doesn't come online until you get
the second person perspective at level
four when level four was brand new it
was basically medieval Empires it says
Mythic Empires here nation states
basically large groups of people that
lived by a set of rules that they shared
as opposed to the do what you want
mentality of level three level four
focuses on good versus evil the entry to
that level is called the Diplomat
because of the way that they focus on
acceptable behavior and social Norms
that's their way of getting over the
problems from the previous stage you can
tell when second person perspective is
coming online in children cuz they start
looking in the mirror more they start to
realize oh I have other people looking
at me the way that I look at other
people and I have feelings about them
they're looking at me and having
feelings about me so I better be up to
their expectations level four is the
beginning of what we traditionally refer
to as morality here again is the woman
seeing man bad on her phone and then she
feels like well maybe this man is bad
because my phone said so she's
projecting that onto him having a a
negative experience and then deciding
what to do about it I'm going to break
up with this guy he must be bad because
I felt like it was true when I saw it on
my phone and then out here she takes a
step back and looks at herself as if she
is a second person which is why they
call it second person perspective and
thinks is that the right thing to do
this is the first point where it becomes
obvious that Consciousness is important
because a lot of people see things on
their phones or on TV and it gives them
a feeling and then they see that feeling
coming from others and then they do
something about that relationship so
they might begin treating somebody
poorly because they saw something on
their phone that made them feel like
well if that's happening here it must be
happening here too and it's not until
you slow down enough to get to level
four that you can take a step back and
ask yourself is this a valuable process
the way that level four typically
functions is through Conformity and
agreement I believe this is the wrong
way to behave
I believe this is the wrong way to
behave agreeing on what's right and
wrong and creating a set of rules and
following them can solve some of these
earlier problems but also there are an
infinite number of ways to decide what
is right and wrong you can have this set
of rules over here or this set of rules
over here and that's where level five
comes in level five introduces objective
observation as a value basically okay
you guys think a BC is right and you
guys think XYZ is right well let's
figure out which one is better and in
order to do that you have to take
another step back into a third person
perspective so again the first three
levels are all about me and then level
four is if I was another person in my
culture how would I view my behavior and
then level five is another step back if
I was an alien or a stranger how would I
view my culture this also enables you to
view other cultures and sets of social
norms that's why it's Global it's the
first time that you can go oh I get why
they're like that because they're from
somewhere else level five has only
really been around for a few hundred
years and it is basically where we get
science and the assembly line and other
forms of modern
conveniences level six is where things
get really fun you might remember how it
went for me level five is into objective
observation but level six recognizes the
role of the perceiver a different
perceiver is going to equal a different
perception that brings in the fourth
person perspective so down at one you
have me and my needs the way I relate to
others and the way I get my way in my
social situation and then you take a
step back what does my behavior look to
others around me and what rules do we
make about that and then another step
back what would our set of rules look
like to a different group of people and
then level six you step back again and
well the way that you are looking is
going to determine what it looks like so
when when you look here you'll see one
thing and when you look here you'll see
another thing and when you look here
you'll see a third thing because of who
you are and where you came from so there
isn't really any way to objectively
observe not being able to objectively
observe can feel weird level six is very
new there were a few philosophers
talking at that level in the 1800s but
it didn't really show up in mainstream
Society until 1960s America so because
the way that you're looking determines
what you're going to see that means
there are multiple perspectives that
that are valid because we all have a
unique personal subjective reality
that's not observable to others
basically how do I know that the red
that I see is the same as the red that
you see maybe my red is your green from
the fourth person perspective there's no
way to know level six is a really good
example of why higher development is not
always necessarily better it is a very
high degree of moral development
recognizing the validity of everyone's
perspective but let's say for example
that there's a problem going on down
here let's say that this guy did
something that is considered morally
wrong in this culture but wait a minute
he says that's how we do it where I'm
from so when level six goes crazy they
start saying things like we can't make
this guy follow these rules just because
he's here he has these rules where he's
from and and who are you to judge which
set of rules is better we should
recognize everybody's unique perspective
and that can and often does give people
the idea I guess I can just do whatever
I want because who are you to judge
that's why we have problems like this
and yeah some of these people are
unfortunate and that's sad but some of
them are just doing whatever they want
and we now have laws that don't
distinguish between them because who are
you to judge so at this point there is
this white break in the chart and that's
because we are moving up to second tier
Consciousness and what that means is
that level seven is the first level that
and understand and include all the
previous ones at level six they still
insist that they're correct and no one
else is for example at level four you
might have a Christian church and a
Muslim Mosque next door arguing over who
has the true Faith but at level six we
can all get along we just need more
understanding when that's not what
either of those groups wants so even if
level six says that they're about
equality they're saying we all need to
be equal even if we don't want to and
it's not until Level seven that we
understand how to actually give each
previous level what it wants to have so
that they can live in harmony at level 7
this fourth person perspective gets
expanded through time which creates
awareness of the self as a history of
your own experience at level six
everyone has their own View and so who's
to say who's right and who's wrong but
at level seven you take yet another step
back and you realize that that unique
view didn't come from nowhere it
developed over time and everybody else
is developing over time so at level six
because we are all the same everybody
belongs wherever but at level seven
since we know we all change over time
people belong where they fit the best so
for example does this Behavior fit here
if not then it has to go where it
belongs and if it does then we can all
learn something new from it that's why I
called it harmonize because it's no
longer about radical in inclusiveness
it's about recognizing interrelated
systems and how they are either
synergistic or clashing radical
relativism and radical inclusiveness
they sound nice but they do create a lot
of clashing people who are at level s
tend to naturally recognize development
without studying this chart or any of
the stuff it came from and it's pretty
fun to see I asked one of my life
coaching clients a question and he said
well a little while ago I would have
answered it like this and before then I
would have answered it like that and
maybe a few years ago I would have
answered it like this but now and so he
told me all about his development
through the levels as his answer to the
question as far as I know there is not
yet any large collection of people at
level s you can find a lot of these
people in San Francisco and you can find
a lot of these people in New York and
you can find a lot of these people in
Alabama and so on so let me know if you
think that you're up at this level I'm
trying to build a Time Army so we can
all get together and work on all this
from up here and I'm not really sure if
these numbers are accurate I get more
confident the lower it goes but I know I
enjoy meeting them because their ability
to naturally balance and synergize
things and put everything where it
belongs means that uh they're going to
be instrumental in solving a lot of the
problems caused by the previous levels
the levels get more difficult to explain
the higher they go you may have noticed
there's a lot of words here and level
eight is pretty rare I don't meet a lot
of people who are stably at it and even
when I do don't think they spend a lot
of their time there so level eight
appears when you take another step back
from this and we are now witnessing
ourselves change over time in the moment
as you behave as you think and feel new
parts of you emerge from The Ether
that's what it means to be construct
aware it means that you're watching your
own mind construct itself as you go so
at level eight you can see all these
different parts of yourself kind of
coming out to play for for example you
could look at an image of a dut or a dut
sitting on a plate and you can go hm I'm
feeling many things right now I'm
feeling hunger for the doughnut cuz it's
good but I'm also feeling a sense of
guilt from one time that I ate a whole
box of donuts that were not meant for me
and then somebody gave me social
punishment and shame for that and I also
got a stomach ache cuz I ate too many
I'm recalling that memory as I look at
this and it's influencing what I want to
do so now that I'm aware of all that
going on in me do I want to listen to it
or not do I want to be the kind of
person who just has a donut anyway cuz
I'm an adult and I can do what I want
and it might sound silly when you're
talking about Donuts but imagine that
this is something like global politics
or even an interpersonal relationship
like yeah I saw this on my phone and it
gave me a feeling and I'm aware of where
that feeling is in myself and I'm aware
that I'm projecting it onto this person
and I'm aware of my impulse for what I
should do about it and I'm aware of what
my culture says I should to do about it
and then all of that is wrapped up in
objective observation and the story of
who I am and how I got here over time
and how I'm viewing the event because of
my personal history do you see how that
gives you a lot more power to change
your behavior in situations like this
imagine if more people could see
something and then see their own
reaction to it instead of just reacting
and then know where that reaction comes
from in terms of their history and their
culture think how much more power that
would give us not to just react in the
moment that's why you should be thinking
about thinking anyway level 9 is very
hard to describe I do think that I spend
some time up at this level and the way
that it feels to me is like all I'm
doing ever is watching and wishing and
that's all I've ever been doing at these
first three levels you are the main
character and at level four you
understand everyone is their own main
character and then you understand that
everyone's watching a different show
because everyone is a different show and
that show is constantly evolving and
changing over time and at level eight
you're just watching the show happen
you're not even identified with being
the show anymore you're just watching
yourself be so when my mind is up here
it's like okay I'm I'm seeing myself
seeing my history and where I came from
and what I'm like and what I do which is
made of all this stuff all the memories
and habits from the lower levels I'm I'm
watching myself observing my emergence
over time interacting with the present
moment I know where I'm from and what
that has made me like and I know what's
happening now and I'm watching them come
together and I'm I'm looking at myself
looking at that and so what how you do
the looking is what's important at this
level it's like what are you looking at
I I think you need to be looking at at
this part right now I think you need to
be looking at this function in your life
maybe you're you're looking from here
when you should be looking from here so
it's like what I'm watching is watching
itself and again here you would be
watching your personal needs and here
you would be watching the reactions of
others and here you would be watching
your situation that you're in and here
you would be watching what others expect
from you and here you would be watching
observable reality and here you'd be
watching where you're from to know how
you interpret things and here you'd be
watching what are all your habits and
pieces of you put together and how are
they interpreting your reality and here
you'd be watching those habits and
pieces coming together in the moment and
sometimes being surprised by what they
do and then here I feel a responsibility
for knowing where to watch those things
if that makes any sense sense so yeah
that's this chart and how it works the
levels part of it anyway the rest of it
I'll get into another time and if you
want to move up the levels the best way
to do that is just sit with your
thoughts and think about them and figure
out where they come from here's another
example of what that looks like so
sometimes I worry that my little
scribbly drawings are kind of
embarrassing to show to 200,000 people
so why am I feeling the embarrassment
well I guess I'm worried that it's going
to have some kind of a negative impact
on me what kind of negative impact would
it have well I guess maybe people would
not like my Channel or might say some
bad things about me because I don't have
more
sophisticated graphic processes well why
would it be so bad if that happened well
then I might lose out on opportunities
that I could otherwise have if I had
better looking Graphics well how do you
know you would lose out on those
opportunities hm that's a good question
because so far I've been doing pretty
good with my scribbly whatever this is
so then if you don't have any evidence
that you're going to lose out on
opportunities because you're doing this
then what's wrong with it okay I guess
problem solved I can do this for now and
that's why I called this level
complete all right I hope you enjoyed
this presentation on levels I will do
another one that's going to be really
excruciatingly long at some point but
I'll make it fun and um uh video's done
you can close you can go away if you
want I'm just going to ramble for a
minute I'm going to do a longer thing on
levels somewhere down the road very soon
I'm going to do self maximize it's going
to be about how to make yourself the
best possible partner so people like you
and then want to keep you I'm going to
be talking about itemized delusion I'm
going to break people up into groups and
talk about the general delusions that
they have um about themselves and the
dating Market I'm going to talk about
the not people Zone oh I'm going to be
um arguing with mac and Murphy soon
