My husband and I just got into Spiral Dynamics. Reading the book and listening to the 6 CD set by Don Beck. I recently heard from Donny Epstein, Ken Wilburs next door neighbor in Boulder, CO, that we are CURRENTLY in the shift to 2nd Tier consciousness and the whole transition should occur within the next 3-12 years. Reality as we know it will change entirely - more so than from the beginning of humanity to now!!! What exciting times we live in!!
