I. Introduction
People can think on four levels -- with feelings, beliefs, facts and ideas. In a perfect world, people would process experience using all four methods. But many people limit themselves to the lower levels, and therefore cannot join the full human adventure.
Here is a summary of the levels:
LEVEL Designation Delta Gamma Beta Alpha Description Emotion without reason Values dictated by others Basic reality testing Creates new realities Reasoning Method None Reasons only within framework of beliefs Relies on factual descriptions Understands that facts grow from ideas, constructs new ideas Moral Accountability None Limited to belief system Based on superficial information sources Accepts individual responsibility Behavioral Adaptability None Only as part of belief-group Crude stimulus-response processing Flexible, fully adaptable Perception of Reality Passive sensory experience Reality is filtered by beliefs Progresses by successive approximation Proactively builds physical and mental environment
