Incorporating a vast range of disciplines and research, Wilber’s “Integral Vision” is currently defined as being an A-Q-A-L or “all-quadrant, all-level” approach to integral studies (the integration of body, mind, soul, and spirit with self, culture, and nature), therefore the reader will be introduced to Wilber’s new integral language and his underlying organizing framework, including his most recent “Phase-5.” With this book the reader...
More DescriptionIncorporating a vast range of disciplines and research, Wilber’s “Integral Vision” is currently defined as being an A-Q-A-L or “all-quadrant, all-level” approach to integral studies (the integration of body, mind, soul, and spirit with self, culture, and nature), therefore the reader will be introduced to Wilber’s new integral language and his underlying organizing framework, including his most recent “Phase-5.” With this book the reader will learn the basic essentials needed to follow Wilber’s continual theoretical expansion (including his forthcoming books) and their pragmatic application, as well as reviewing his current public outreach, such as with the Integral Institute, Integral University, and his growing presence on the worldwide web.By simplifying the details of his complex metatheory, or “where Wilber’s coming from,” the reader discovers how this integral approach is capable of uniting the knowledge of modern science with the depth and meanings of ancient mysticism, thus transforming the Great Chain of Being into a comprehensive post-metaphysical AQAL Matrix of Spirit-in-action. This evolutionary model also includes a cross-cultural integral psychology that seamlessly integrates East and West, thus clarifying today’s confusing spectrum of collective worldviews and the universal stages of individual growth, as well as much, much more. Indeed, the unprecedented integrative power of Wilber’s vision and its expanded influence in the first decade of the new millennium is laying the positive foundations for an “integral revolution,” or better, a natural evolution to a higher-order worldwide consciousness to which we are all invited, and with which this book will be a helpful user-friendly guide on this exciting adventure.
