I recommend this as a bit of context for the notion that 'everyone is pretty much like us': stevepavlina.com Note that is not a 'judgemental' scale, but shows how individuals who's predominant emotion is on one level, see things differently than those on another level... for instance check out the emotional outlook of these levels, which can be seen in almost every clip out of the middle east on TV almost any nite: <<Fear - Seeing the world as dangerous and unsafe. Paranoia. Usually you’ll need help to rise above this level, or you’ll remain trapped for a long time, such as in an abusive relationship.>> <<Anger - the level of frustration, often from not having your desires met at the lower level. This level can spur you to action at higher levels, or it can keep you stuck in hatred. In an abusive relationship, you’ll often see an anger person coupled with a fear person.>> Now compare that to where we probably think the level of conciousness in the west is: <<Reason - At this level you transcend the emotional aspects of the lower levels and begin to think clearly and rationally. Hawkins defines this as the level of medicine and science. The way I see it, when you reach this level, you become capable of using your reasoning abilities to their fullest extent. You now have the discipline and the proactivity to fully exploit your natural abilities. You’ve reached the point where you say, “Wow. I can do all this stuff, and I know I must put it to good use. So what’s the best use of my talents?” You take a look around the world and start making meaningful contributions. At the very high end, this is the level of Einstein and Freud. It’s probably obvious that most people never reach this level in their entire lives.>> Most psychologists are aware of "welfare emotions" vs "destructive emotions" and the health & wellbeing implications. This scale attempts to formalize the concept. DAK
