sppdestiny, it's hard for me to avoid the impression that this is

becoming about " being right. "

 

 

Lonny: Actually , it's about having an informed discussion based on

facts. You have made some statements about a SD which are patently

false and betray a great lack of familiarity with the system. Beyond

the system itself, which I'm not specifically attached to (it's new,

there are details to work out, there are other compelling

interpretations, etc.), the science of studying the hierarchical

emergence of value systems as an integral part of the evolution and

expression of human consciousness couldn't be more germane to clinical

diagnosis at this time in history and to the emergence of integral

medicine in general.

 

I am convinced that having an inductive and synthetic functional model

based on the same scientific premise as Chinese medicine to qualify a

patient's value system in the context of their culture represents a

huge upgrade to CM. It's only natural that over time CM will evolve as

a living medicine. I'm suggesting that, in the developed world, SD is

as significant an expansion of CM as the Shang Han Lun was in it's time.

 

It is fair enough for people to disagree with that assessment but not

casually by one who doesn't really understand the system specifically,

or the scientific perspective underlying it. I have written an entire

chapter on SD in a text that has sold 5000 copies and is used at many

schools as an elective or core text. That means that SD has entered

CM. Time will tell if it, or the general view has enduring value.

 

I am more than happy to discuss SD, or anything, based on the merits

but I wont let anyone casually dismiss my teachings out of hand.

That's an important part of taking a stand for the emergence of a

Physician-Scholar tradition in our medicine that has integrity.

 

Regards, Lonny Jarrett

MT: " Evidence based " medicine always makes me laugh.

Scientific knowledge is not possible. In fact, it is a contradiction in

terms.

Sorry if I'm jumping in on the middle of something. I'm new.

MT: What's Spiral Dynamics, if I may ask?

And why are we to believe that it's " cutting edge? "
