I have to disagree with those of you who say you're in all three or even two stages at the same time.
It's not possible to be in growth, survival or floating frame at the same time.
The person who is fully engaged in growth moves towards more life, more expansion, discovery. He is, like the Einstein quote, someone who's decided that 'the universes is a friendly place'. He's motivated by, well, Steve would call it love.
The person who is engaged in survival mode doesn't see the opportunities for growth. He's only doing all he can to keep all he has right now, nothing more, nothing less. He's decided that 'the universe is (not) a friendly place'. He's motivated by fear.
How can you be moving forward and backward at the same thing? You can't. You'd be constricted. Like when two people pull you in opposite directions, you just don't move anywhere.
Be in growth or survival. Decide whether you're going to expand or contract. Like Einstein once said;
Quote:
When asked by a reporter something like :"What, in your opinion is the most important question facing humanity today?" Einstein thought for a bit then replied, "I think the most important question facing humanity is, 'Is the universe a friendly place?' This is the first and most basic question all people must answer for themselves.
"For if we decide that the universe is an unfriendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to achieve safety and power by creating bigger walls to keep out the unfriendliness and bigger weapons to destroy all that which is unfriendly and I believe that we are getting to a place where technology is powerful enough that we may either completely isolate or destroy ourselves as well in this process.
"If we decide that the universe is neither friendly nor unfriendly and that God is essentially 'playing dice with the universe', then we are simply victims to the random toss of the dice and our lives have no real purpose or meaning.
"But if we decide that the universe is a friendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to create tools and models for understanding that universe. Because power and safety will come through understanding its workings and its motives."

P.S. Read the works of
Bruce Lipton to find out more about how this works at a biological level. He's the guy that helped me make sense out of this from the single cell level all the way up to human being.
