The Second Tier is where we can appreciate healthy aspects of each perspective and find ways to communicate with all the world views, regardless of whether we agree with their actions or not. It is about _growing up_ and _waking up_. Growing up is when we stop being a victim. Waking up is when we begin to recognize the One Life that is All.
