Spectrum Growth
As we begin to shift our growth framework away from linear growth into spectrum growth there are a few key things that have helped me to understand the shift.
1. Spectrum Growth has to be rooted. In order for any organism to grow, it must take root in something significant. Typically, this root has been talked about in terms of “DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms.)” The conversation about DNA is crucial to what type of spectrum growth we will encounter. What information is located at your DNA level? For Missiongathering, our DNA exists in the life, death and resurrection of Christ for ALL. That grace was made available for ALL. This is where we can organically begin to grow our color spectrum and allow it to interact with other spectrums to form and shape our spiritual life.
2. Spectrum Growth vs. Spiritual Consumerism. There is a distinct difference between spectrum interaction and spiritual consumerism. Spiritual consumerism focuses on getting our needed “fix” from multiple places and expressions. Again, this is a linear type of consumption. Consumerism is only rooted in the need to “fit into” the already existing linear thought. Spectrum growth roots itself and allows multiple expressions to interact with our organic growth. It is not simply consuming, but instead digesting and integrating different sources of expression.
My spectrum’s colors and balance will look much different than yours, but will be rooted in the same way you are. Where do you root? What does your spectrum look like? How does it grow? How is it nourished? How does it interact with other’s spectrums?
