And then, he went on to give the emotional states (and Steve presents these in one of his own articles) of people who are at various levels on the scale. I have known people, and myself, who has moved upward through this scale, and slipped, and moved on again... this blows his limiting statement out of the water... to actually buy this theory, and impose on yourself the idea that you cannot progress "upwards" severely limits you and your belief in yourself. Imagine if he was right ... and you couldn't really progress. And, his book resonates so high it must be the truth. That in itself invalidates the whole premise of his book.
I actually agree with him that most people's LOC do not progress much in their lifetime. It is very rare for a person to have the desire and opportuntiy to abandon the false for the truth.
