Table 1A: CORRELATIVE STRUCTURES – Fundamental Developmental Sequence (FDS)
The basic structural element of Wilber’s Tables is the Fundamental Developmental Sequence (FDS) – a series of 38 Steps which trace increasing complexity, development, or evolution within a
system. These Steps are in turn consolidated into a set of 12 Stages (and States). Steps are indicated by the numbers in the left-hand column; Stages and States are indicated by bands of color
comprising several rows.

Table 2A: SPECTRUM OF CONSCIOUSNESS – East and Ancient
These Studies (from various Eastern and ancient perspectives) outline the Spectrum of Consciousness – the range of aliveness and awareness of all beings – as it extends from matter, to body, to
psyche, to spirit. This Spectrum is the framework for all developmental Studies in the three internal Realms – psyche, body, and spirit.

Table 2B: SPECTRUM OF CONSCIOUSNESS – Westerners (incl. Eastern influence)
These Studies (from various Western esoteric and academic perspectives) outline the Spectrum of Consciousness – the range of aliveness and awareness of all beings – as it extends from matter,
to body, to psyche, to spirit. This Spectrum is the framework for all developmental Studies in the three internal Realms – psyche, body, and spirit.

Table 3: STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT – Life Passages
These Studies trace human development in the external Realm of Life Passages. Life Passages are the external phases of accomplishment or achievement
that occur as we progress through the biologic life cycle. Life Passages is the one Table that uses as a benchmark (vertical axis) the actual Stages of biolo-
gical development – rather than the psycho-spiritual Stages of the FDS. These Studies are by academic and popular Western investigators.

Table 4A: STAGES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT – Fundamental Needs
These Studies (by academic investigators and Wilber) trace the development of basic human Needs in the Realm of Psyche Passages. Psyche Passages
are the internal phases of mental maturation that occur as we progress through the Stages of psychological development. A Need is the psychological
feature that arouses an organism to action toward a goal and provides the reason for the action -- giving purpose and direction to behavior.

Table 4B: STAGES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT – Sexuality
These Studies (by academic investigators and Wilber) trace the development of Sexuality in the Realm of Psyche Passages. Psyche Passages are the internal phases of mental maturation that oc-
cur as we progress through the Stages of psychological development. Sexuality refers to the expression of sexual sensation and related intimacy between human beings -- as well as the expres-
sion of identity as influenced by or based on sex.

Table 4C: STAGES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT – Affect and Emotions
These Studies (by Wilber) trace the development of Affect and Emotions in the Realm of Psyche Passages. Psyche Passages are the internal phases of mental maturation that occur as we progress
through the Stages of psychological development. An emotion is a mental disturbance that arises involuntarily – consisting of physiological arousal, behavioral expression, and conscious sub-
jective feeling. Affect is the observable, external display of that emotion.

These Studies (mainly by organizational consultants) trace the development of Leadership in the Realm of Psyche Passages. Psyche Passages are the internal phases of mental maturation that oc-
cur as we progress through the Stages of psychological development. Leadership is ability to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the or-
ganizations with which they are affiliated.

Table 4G: STAGES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT – Art, Aesthetics, & Creativity
These Studies (by academic investigators and psychologists) trace the development of Art, Aesthetics, and Creativity in the Realm of Psyche Passages. Psyche Passages are the internal phases of
mental maturation that occur as we progress through the Stages of psychological development. Art is the skill of expressing the beautiful through tangible media – such as writing, painting, and
music. Aesthetics is the philosophical study of the nature of beauty, and of its expression in art. Creativity is the mental process of generating new entities, either of an artistic or conceptual
nature – particularly if they contain an important element of beauty.

Table 4I: STAGES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT – Worldviews
These Studies (by various classic and modern investigators) trace the development of Worldviews in the Realm of Psyche Passages. Psyche Passages are the internal phases of mental maturation
that occur as we progress through the Stages of psychological development. A Worldview is a broad framework through which one perceives, interprets, and interacts with the world.

Table 6A: SPIRITUAL STAGES & STATES – Eastern Mystics
These Studies (from various Eastern traditions) trace the development of mystical experiences in the internal Realm of Spirit Passages. Spirit Passages are the internal phases of spiritual awaken-
ing that occur as we pass through the Stages and States of spiritual development. Mysticism is the pursuit of consciousness, communion, or identity with the Divine through direct experience and
revealed insight. The mystic seeks direct encounter with God or God-like essence – as the ultimate source of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.

These Studies (from Western and mid-Eastern Christian traditions) trace the development of mystical experiences in the internal Realm of Spirit Passages. Spirit Passages are the internal phases
of spiritual awakening that occur as we pass through the Stages and States of spiritual development. Mysticism is the pursuit of consciousness, communion, or identity with the Divine through
direct experience and revealed insight. The mystic seeks direct encounter with God or God-like essence – as the ultimate source of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.

Table 7A: SOCIO-CULTURAL EVOLUTION – Classic Investigators & Ken Wilber
These Studies (by academic investigators from the early 1900’s, plus Wilber) trace collective human development at the socio-cultural level. Collective development occurs in human groups of
all sizes – couples, families, work groups, communities, all the way up to societies and cultures. A Society is a structured community of people bound together by similar traditions, institutions,
or nationality. A Culture is the sum total of shared beliefs, customs, practices, attitudes, behaviors, and symbolic structures which undergird and connect the members of a Society.

Table 7B: SOCIO-CULTURAL EVOLUTION – Modern Investigators
These Studies (by academic investigators since the mid-1900’s) trace collective human development at the socio-cultural level. Collective development occurs in human groups of all sizes –
couples, families, work groups, communities, all the way up to societies and cultures. A Society is a structured community of people bound together by similar traditions, institutions, or national-
ity. A Culture is the sum total of shared beliefs, customs, practices, attitudes, behaviors, and symbolic structures which undergird and connect the members of a Society.

Table 8: PROCESSES OF GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION
These Studies (primarily by Wilber) trace the sequence of potential Pathologies and corresponding Processes of treatment at each Stage of development. Pathologies are the obstacles, impedi-
ments, diversions, and distortions that can cause the growth process to go wrong. Processes are the activities, techniques, or therapies which overcome those Pathologies.
