Unlocking the Wisdom of History and Humanity

In Stage Separations you'll delve into the Integrated Development Spectrum (IDS), exploring the development of cities and influential figures throughout time. But we're not stopping at fact regurgitation - we're elevating your understanding of human cognitive and cultural evolution, examining the intricate interplay between individuals, societies, and their developmental stages.

Uncover the captivating narratives of diverse cities, from Africa to the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceana, all through the insightful IDS lens. Dive deep into the lives of historical figures, innovators, artists, scientists, spiritual and political leaders, and more - understanding their contributions and developmental stages in a new way.

The course also includes a collection of meticulously co-created IDS cards at the intersection of natural and artificial intelligence, each portraying a city or an individual, complete with a unique IDS score and beautifully rendered AI-generated illustrations. They're not just educational tools - they're collectible pieces of knowledge that you'll treasure.

Additionally, the author/GPT-4 co-created essays further deepen your grasp of the IDS, fostering thoughtful dialogue and encouraging personal reflection.

Scott has taught thousands of students in person and millions online in his career. These experiences, combined with co-hosting multi-day workshops and full-day intensives where he guides participants to alternately concentrate, contemplate, and meditate, plus engaging sharing circles—gave him a deep appreciation for the fact that each person can best be reached by intentionally varying modes of attention.

From these transpersonal experiences, and his experience in building the courseware at SGA, the idea for multidimensional books arose.

In 2010 Scott wrote, narrated, and single handedly produced an online documentary passion-project series called Secrets in Plain Sight, which explores patterns in art, architecture, urban design & the cosmos. This was well received by millions around the world and continues to be enjoyed as an esoteric classic on Gaia and YouTube. Since then, he has written and beautifully illustrated eight thought-provoking books, including Sacred Geometry: Philosophy & Worldview.
