The meaning and message of Clare Graves' work has been passed through many filters over the years. This page allows his ideas, written and verbal, to be shared so Dr. Graves can explain his Emergent Cyclical Levels of Existence Theory to you in his own words. 

THE Graves book which Clare W. Grave was working on when his health failed and he was forced to curtail writing. We are making the chapters he had completed on the theory, his research, verification, and implications openly available. The editors, Christopher Cowan and Natasha Todorovic, have reconstructed the missing middle section (covering details of the levels of existence) from Dr. Graves's writings and from audio recordings of him discussing the work - it's all drawn verbatim from the words and phrases of Dr. Graves.
