Sacred Scaffolding: Why We May Need the Ground We Have

  • 1. The Source Institute

Description

A companion to the Borrowed Templates framework, investigating whether inherited blueprints serve a developmental function rather than simply obstructing clarity. This framework examines the pattern where borrowed templates create specific capacities through the process of engaging with them - including what gets learned through the crash when they fall apart. It maps how the relationship to inherited structures appears to transform across different stages of awareness, proposing that the templates themselves may be part of a larger developmental architecture. Part 2 of a 5-part series.
