Ken Wilber Explains Integral Theory And Spiral Dynamics (Part 1 of 9)

[@alejandrovesga7736]

I've been telling this to my friends for years and they thought I was crazy. Thank you for showing me this so I can fully complete my theory

[@TheToddJason]

LOVE it!

[@wagfinpis]

I have spent hours exhausting my patience trying to find this guy spend more than one sentence of description of his highest level of maturity.

[@jonathandoherty5]

#harmonics- when the greatest intenful action is happening at the tonics and at the octaves, the bestest indirect'passive' change is occurring at the 5ths,

I've been saying for 25 years or so that if I had a party and invited everyone I know it would be concerning for me because they're all coming from different levels of growth and likely wouldn't get along.

[@watermelonslushy1110]

This is awesome

[@danielkelley7548]

Ken is great. I really like Zer.

[@jordanowens3017]

Looking forward to the rest

[@TheToddJason]

Yea man, its gets super interesting...I'll post them up soon!

[@iamjake99909]

So like... no one seems too believe me. But my experience of my mind is very aware. Its not exactly the same. But how would i find someone who would believe i feel like the description of hivemimd. 😅 I think im a savant but everyone treats me like mental.

[@TheToddJason]

I believe you!

[@iamjake99909]

@ToddJason ok according too the research ive found online. I have savant syndrome. The description ken has of the overmind or like really high level was how i veiwed the world in lower elementary. I was punished for being smart because they perceived my disobedience in learning bad information as mental retardation. Im trying too get too a medical institution too confirm my information. If im right ive accidentally read played and watched my way into an education that rival's ivy league individuals. Or my mother is right and i belong in a psychiatric institution. Ether way my doctors keep telling me they dont believe free will exists and its scaring me.

​@@iamjake99909from what i read you're more normal than you think, and that's a good thing. What others who cannot see outside their cultural conditioning think of those that do, theyre often misunderstood. I don't think you should give any credit to a doctors philosophy just because they went to medical school.

[@iamjake99909]

@LisahTali ohh man, you dont know the half off it. I've been on a non-stop education binge into the weirdist backwater parts of the internet Im mildly autistic with a high intelligence i believe savant syndrome. And like everyone i know. Is autistic some way i think because of the way migration works. Mental health issues are actually glorified in cultures if it's more effective than being normal. With the rise of information availability, a lot of people are saying a lot of shit without staying up to date and actually educating themselves. My part of the world believes the internet is 100% fantasy. Nothing of importance happens there.

[@leonidas7692]

This lady is really well informed.

[@ammamaw]

Man.

[@TheDunestrider]

Is that Ken Wilbur's mother? She certainly resembles him.

[@jwardbass4452]

Lmfao

[@whitelightdistrict8104]

Ken is Capital Cool.

[@Rozu3652]

So, what I'm hearing is Buddah thought of all of this before the internet existed. Got it

[@TheToddJason]

Mmmmm, yes. Could not agree more. There've been mystics throughout the ages who've tapped into Truth......

[@torivictoria46]

A wig????? Is he going trans?

[@7devils666]

Bwah!!! Is he wearing a wig?!? He looks like sally Jesse Rafael! Integral theory is a joke. It’s just new age eclecticism and nonsense. Ken is not going to get along with everyone at the party wearing a wig like that…

[@TheToddJason]

Sally Jesse Raphael - gotta admit you made me laugh out loud on that one.....I didn't as him about the wig. I'm sure he has his reasons.....

[@watermelonslushy1110]

Did you read ANYTHING at all about spiral dynamics or integral theory???? A second tier party is all inclusive, they would absolutely include Ken with his wig in there my man!!! You need to GROW UP!!

[@cicciogrecia]

You are right about the wig. As for the model, if you dont get it, evolve yourself to To tier two and you ll understand. Eclecticism is a first-tier point of view, coming from a non deceloped ego reaction. Tier two people dont think themselves as something special.

[@alleras46]

@@cicciogrecia Well said. I've only just come across this stuff in the past few months and been engrossed so far, despite how inaccessible it feels. How did you come across integral theory yourself and how did you manage to grow up?

[@7devils666]

Nonsense!!! Grow up and wake up, this isn’t an explanation of anything. You can’t combine physicalism and idealism in the same system like you have attempted without explaining how the interaction problem can rationally occur as two separate types of substances.

[@watermelonslushy1110]

I have no idea what you just said. But from personal experience some people are more “awake” to their own “Consciousness” aka “True Self”, but less mature as a human being, “less grown up”. There definitely seems to be a big difference between Growing Up & Waking Up

[@watermelonslushy1110]

And let me explain why. You can have someone who is very aware that they are not their physical body, that they are something more that is beyond a human being - because of this they have a sense of freedom that other’s do not, they suffer less in a way and feel life deeper, because they are “awake” or “enlightened” in a spiritual sense. But at the same time, this awake person, can be very immature and less grown up as a human being. He may be addicted to power, and may step on other people’s boundaries for the sake of feeling more powerful. This is truly egotistical for example, and egocentrism is synonymous with being in an immature level of their own development - being egocentered is being less grown up as a human, less developed. He may experience life deeper, and feel more free and feel more at ease with his own mortality as a human in a way, but at the same time he is psychologically underdeveloped. Does this make sense to you now? Hopefully it does because it absolutely makes sense to me and I see it all the time. The opposite case it true as well: you can have a human being who is very mature, but asleep to his own understanding of who he is at the soul level beyond his physical body

[@alleras46]

@@watermelonslushy1110 Great explanation. I'm quite new to spiral dynamics and integral theory so this is all very fascinating! What would say your level of development or level of 'growing up' is?

[@chakrakeyacademy894]

Utter nonsense! Guy is in fantasy land...
