2. Archaic Adam FORM, EGO, SELF AND IDENTITY – THE FIRST TIER by Doug King The initial awakening of spiritual consciousness appears at the Archaic level, which begins the Spiral. Archaic is the Spiral’s “in the beginning.” It is here that the Biblical Narrative begins, with the story of creation, of Adam and Eve. We find creation in Genesis void and without form. We note here the following process of creation: Formlessness as unconsciousness, followed by Form as consciousness, followed by Formlessness as consciousness.
3. The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life and Wisdom “The way of life winds upward for the wise…” (Proverbs 15:24) By Tim King [Editorial Preface: It is assumed that the reader has read and is familiar with the article “Components of Change: Life Conditions, Priority Codes, Beliefs and Behavior.”] Introduction The path of spirituality is marked with powerfully emergent concepts such as growth, maturity, transformation, renewal, and for Christians the overarching ideal of “putting on the mind of Christ.” In a healthy and vibrant life, the process of advancing in an upward trajectory of greater insight and wisdom should be a given. We learn. We grow. We change – especially in our walk of faith, depth of spiritual insight, and understanding.
