Stages

[fluffy]

I had not thought much about it till now.

Here is what I know:

1. Instinctual - pre linguistic i.e. no laungauge

2. Animistic - everything is alive, has a spirit

3. Shamanism - provides rituals and stories to how nature operates, is pre civilization and unstructured.

4. Mythical - a main story exists for beings in control of reality.

5. Rational - everything can be explained by science is thought

6. Relativistic - not everyone is the same

7. Integrated - lack in deficiencies is overcome.

8. Is the meta stage where people build layers of understanding

9. People look for the best way to communicate and stop trying to build layers that serve no purpose.

This is what I know so far.

I've read about levels of development like this before. Don't remember where.
