Six Conditions for vMEME Change

• ASSESS before trying to implement change (from the book «Spiral Dynamics» by Don Beck and Christopher C. Cowan, page 102)
  «In what way does the person operate in respect to this issue?»
  «… change from what , to what?» (Barbara Jordan's Question)
• Potential for Change: The OAC Status (OPEN ARRESTED CLOSED status)
• «The OPEN state should be thought of in respect to an issue, not necessarily a global style of living. One might be OPEN in business; ARRESTED in family relations; and CLOSED in thinking about religion.» (from the book «Spiral Dynamics» by Don Beck and Christopher C. Cowan, page 79)
• Think in terms of vMEME profiles, not a categorical place on the continuum.
• Read the feedback: If he purrs, continue; if he growls, back off.
