IV – The life you want lies within a specific level of mind
第四章｜你想要的人生，取决于你所处的心智层级
The mind evolves through predictable stages over time.
心智会随着时间推移，沿着一系列可预测的阶段演化。
When you’re born, you’re like a little survival sponge that absorbs whatever beliefs you can (which are heavily dictated by your culture) so that you can feel safe and secure. And if you're not careful, your mind may crystallize and it may make it difficult to live a meaningful life.
当你出生时，你就像一块“生存海绵”，会吸收所能触及的一切信念。
而这些信念，在很大程度上由你的文化所决定，目的只有一个：让你感到安全、可控。
但如果你不够警觉，你的心智可能会在某个阶段“结晶固化”，从而让你很难再去过一种真正有意义的人生。
This has been documented enough in models like Maslow’s Hierarchy, Greuter’s stages of ego development, and Spiral Dynamics, each building off of one another, but it’s also not difficult to observe in society.
这一过程已经在诸多模型中被反复论证，例如：马斯洛需求层次理论、格鲁特的自我发展阶段理论，以及螺旋动力学。
这些模型彼此承接、相互演化，而在现实社会中，这种现象同样并不难观察。
I’ve talked about these many times, and synthesized them into my own Human 3.0 model, but here’s the 80/20 of the 9 stages of ego development as a refresher (because repetition helps reveal things you didn’t notice before, and there are new people reading these letters):
我曾多次谈到这些模型，并将它们整合进我自己的 Human 3.0 模型中。
不过这里，我用“80/20 法则”的方式，简要回顾一下自我（Ego）发展的九个阶段——因为重复有助于你发现此前未曾注意到的细节，而且也有新的读者正在阅读这些内容。
1. Impulsive — No separation between impulse and action. Black and white thinking. I.e. A toddler hits when angry because the feeling and the behavior are the same thing.
1、冲动阶段
冲动与行为之间没有区分，思维呈现非黑即白。
例如：幼儿在愤怒时会直接打人，因为情绪本身就等同于行为。
2. Self-Protective — The world is dangerous and you learn to look out for yourself. I.e. A kid learns to hide report cards, lie about chores, and figure out what adults want to hear.
2、自我保护阶段
你开始认为世界是危险的，于是学会自保。
例如：孩子学会藏成绩单、对家务撒谎、揣摩大人想听什么。
3. Conformist — You are your group and its rules feel like reality itself. I.e. Someone who genuinely cannot fathom why anyone would vote differently than their family or group.
3、从众阶段
你就是你的群体，而群体的规则仿佛就是真实本身。
例如：有人完全无法理解，为什么会有人投票立场与自己的家庭或群体不同。
4. Self-Aware — You notice you have an inner life that doesn’t match the exterior. I.e. Sitting in church and realizing you’re not sure you believe what everyone around you seems to believe, but not knowing what to do with that feeling yet.
4、自我觉察阶段
你开始意识到，自己的内在世界与外在表现并不完全一致。
例如：坐在教堂里，突然意识到自己并不确定是否真的相信周围所有人似乎都相信的东西，但又暂时不知道该如何处理这种感觉。
5. Conscientious — You build your own system of principles and hold yourself accountable to them. I.e. Leaving your family’s religion after careful study and adopting a personal philosophy you can defend, or building a career plan with clear milestones because you believe the right effort yields the right results.
5、自律阶段
你开始建立属于自己的原则体系，并要求自己对其负责。
例如：在充分研究后离开家族宗教，转而采纳一套你能自圆其说的个人哲学；或因为相信“正确的努力会带来正确的结果”，而制定清晰的职业规划与里程碑。
6. Individualist — You see that your principles were shaped by context and start holding them more loosely. I.e. Realizing your political views have more to do with where you grew up than objective truth, or noticing that your ambitious career goals were really about earning your father’s approval.
6、个体化阶段
你开始意识到：你的原则本身，也是由所处环境塑造的，于是对它们不再那么执着。
例如：意识到自己的政治观点更多源于成长环境，而非客观真理；或发现自己雄心勃勃的职业目标，更多是为了赢得父亲的认可。
7. Strategist — You work with systems while aware of your own involvement in them. I.e. Leading an organization while actively questioning your own blind spots, or engaging in politics knowing your perspective is partial and shaped by bias you can’t fully see.
7、战略阶段
你能够在系统中运作，同时清楚地意识到自己也是系统的一部分。
例如：在领导组织的同时，持续反思自身的盲区；或参与政治活动时，清楚地知道自己的视角是局部的、不可避免带有偏见的。
8. Construct-Aware — You see all frameworks, including your identity, as useful fictions. I.e. Holding your spiritual beliefs metaphorically not literally, knowing the map is not the territory, or watching yourself play the role of “founder” or “thought leader” with a kind of gentle amusement.
8、建构觉察阶段
你开始将所有框架——包括“自我身份”——都视为一种有用的虚构。
例如：以隐喻而非字面意义对待灵性信仰，明白“地图不是疆域”；或带着一种温和的自觉，观看自己正在扮演“创始人”或“思想领袖”的角色。
9. Unitive — Separation between self and life dissolves. I.e. Work, rest, and play feel like the same thing. There’s no one left who needs to become something, just presence responding to what arises.
9、合一阶段
自我与生命之间的分离感消融。
例如：工作、休息与玩乐不再有本质区别；不再有一个“需要成为什么”的自我，只剩下对当下发生之事的回应。
For most people reading this, I would assume you hover between 4 and 8, which is a huge gap. Those closer to 8 are reading this are doing so to either learn something or pass time. Those closer to 4 are really looking for a change.
对大多数读到这里的人来说，我会假设你大概在第 4 阶段到第 8 阶段之间游移——而这本身就是一个跨度极大的区间。
更接近第 8 阶段的人，阅读这些内容，往往只是为了学习或消磨时间。
而更接近第 4 阶段的人，则是真正渴望改变。
You feel like you are meant for more, but you can’t make sense of everything yet, because there’s obviously a lot at play. The good thing is, it doesn’t really matter what stage you are in, because moving through any of them follows a pattern.
你隐约感觉自己的人生不该止步于此，但眼前的一切还难以理清，因为显然有太多东西在同时牵动着你。
好消息是：你处在哪个阶段其实并没有那么重要。
因为无论处于哪一阶段，向前推进都遵循着相似的模式。
