This degree speaks of the orderly advancement of individuals through progressively higher levels of development.
"Step by step upward"
People on stairs graduated upward represent the orderly progression of consciousness through defined stages. Each step represents an achieved level of development, and the stairway itself embodies the principle that growth is sequential — each level must be mastered before the next can be reached.
Left unexamined, the compulsion to perform graduated progress without genuine feeling — the orderly advancement of individuals through progressively higher levels of development, but hollowed of meaning.
Growth comes one step at a time, and everyone is on a different stair.
A sensitive, emotionally attuned reaching toward others — the deep want for connection and the meeting of basic human needs. This gate approaches with empathy and an intuitive awareness of what the tribe needs to thrive.
