For me trying to get from kegan stage 4 to 5 has included not needing other people to be right. I used to be existentially terrified that others did not yearn desperately for coherence and truth. Now, a part of that need has relaxed which has allowed me the flexibility to inhabit/visit the worldviews of others. A big part of this is being a bit less attached to my own world view, identifying with it less. Another is somehow trusting truth more and not being to afraid to let go, with the expectation to find it again. A third is a sense of being a space rather than a point in world-view-space. If I can grow as to authentically relate to more world views and people rather that only inhabit the most correct one, that becomes a lot less fragile.
I'm curious about you being existentially terrified. Do you have clear idea why this was the case? I can speculate, but I'd rather hear it from you :)
Thanks for mentioning the three ways you've shifted the way you relate. Ego-slimming has been something I've done actively, but I hadn't thought of the "trusting truth" and "being a space" ones. Beautiful.
