"Transcend and Include That Which _________"

Lynne Feldman continues to keep my thinking sharp - she threw the wrinkle mentioned above into the mix a couple of weeks ago as we were talking. "Transcend and include" in and of itself is great directionally, but doesn't really help you discriminate. "Transcend and include that which ______" is more helpful for actual application. It's fine to leave some stuff behind.

There should be some criteria for bringing some things forward. For example, as someone who feels reasonably comfortable with Spiral Dynamics second-tier approaches, I might consider something like "transcend and include that which helps me best engage people within their value structures, supports "healthy" action and thinking within that value structure and development forward, either further along that level or gently toward the next one." Now, that was a mouthful, but you get the idea.
