Sloww Stage Support (Lifelong Learning & Deeper Development): How do I develop by learning?

Overview of Stage Support

Stage Support Inquiring Question:

  • How do I develop by learning? Learning and development have been the foundation of everything from the very beginning. When I was deep in my existential crisis in late 2015, my natural instinct was to question everything and start searching for answers. Searching led to researching which led to a lot of reading. Reading led to notetaking and summarizing. The more I learned, the more I started to analyze. And, ultimately, it all converged on synthesizing. The visual below shows how a lifelong learning structure supports all deeper development stages. This lifelong learning is considered “horizontal development” (or “translation”/”transfer”) because it’s adding new skills, information, and knowledge to your current “stage” of mind—as opposed to deeper development which is considered “vertical development” (or “transformation”) because it’s accessing new worldviews, perspective-taking, and meaning-making. This will make more sense as the blanks are completed in the rest of the post series, but here’s more about the relationship between horizontal and vertical development if you’re interested.

Stage Support Learning Focus:

  • Synthesizers focusing on the ‘meta-crisis’ by asking questions, crossing disciplines, and connecting dots (study subjects include: living inquiry, knowledge integration, transformative learning, interdisciplinarity, human development, etc).

Stage Support Developing Self:

  • Any developing self sense applies here since this is support for all stages.
