In response to Stage Red leaders, Stage Blue created an ‘ultimate’ authority figure, who appeals to the notion of ‘right’, ‘wrong’ and morality and who would take on the power of the Stage Red Leader. People began to understand that life under Stage Red leadership was not safe or effective and therefore began to appeal to a higher order. This new authority figure is often known as ‘God’ within organised religion.
Although this new leader is kinder and more compassionate than the Stage Red leader, it is usually just as vengeful and mighty (‘The Lord is vengeful against his foes; he rages against his enemies’). However, this level does create a higher sense of order and morality within the collective.
When individuals enter Stage Blue, it is the first time that emotions such as guilt will be used as a way of control and to keep order within the Hierarchy.
In the Hierarchal structure of Blue, foreigners, animals and plants are found at the bottom of the system and exist mainly to serve blue. Discipline, values and norms are prevalent at this stage, and the masses will follow them religiously. Blue is often the basis of the conversion to institutionalised religions – a big step up from Red.
In 2020, Stage Blue represents around 40% of the adult population and holds 30% of the power. An example of a Blue Individual is someone who is a devotee to an institutionalised religion. You may hear them say ‘Do not unto others, what you would not have them do unto you.’
The Origin Of Blue
Stage Blue originated around 10,000 years ago, during the rise of agriculture in Iraq. Its conversion was due to the injustice and corruption within Stage Red hierarchies, whose power threatened life and had little morality.
Boundaries and order manifested to lessen the structural problems and set a foundation for a more moral society.
Point of Gravity
The essence of Blue is that the world should be in order and controlled through the purpose of a higher motive. There is a ‘wrong’ way of living that should be punished, whilst the ‘right’ way of living should be rewarded; inline with the Blue leaders values.

Moving from Stage Blue to Stage Orange
Stage Orange is the next level after Stage Blue, as the restrictive and oppressive order became too extreme, and the individual broke free from Blue’s order.
Individual ambition is now seen again (as is in Stage Red), and science and evidence become important. In contrast, before this, much of their values and beliefs are based on low-level spirituality.
