SpiritualWiki - KenWilber

Die Entdeckung des Höchsten Ganzen ist das wirksame Mittel zur Aufhebung von Unfreiheit und die einzige medizinische Verordnung, die Mystiker anbieten.

Das ichhafte Selbstbewusstsein befindet sich auf halbem Wege zwischen dem Unbewussten der Natur und dem Überbewussten des GEISTES. Das Unbewusste von Materie und Körper weicht dem seiner selbst Bewussten des Verstandes und des Egos, das seinerseits dem Überbewussten der Seele und des GEISTES Platz macht.

Die Grenze zwischen dem Ich und dem Mitmenschen löst Furcht aus, die Grenze zwischen dem Vergangenen und der Zukunft verursacht Ängste, die Grenze zwischen Subjekt und Objekt löst Begierden aus. Während die Biologie nicht zerstört werden kann, lassen sich Grenzen überschreiten.

Wenn das Ich-Empfinden stirbt, ist das, was sich auflöst, kein wirkliches Sein, sondern lediglich eine Grenze, die nicht wirklich bestand, die stets eingebildet war. Hat jedoch ein Mensch die Illusion des Ichs und dessen Grenzen aufgebaut, so fürchtet er nichts mehr als dessen Auflösung und strebt daher nach symbolischer Unsterblichkeit.

Integrale Philosophie im 3. Jahrtausend

Ken Wilber

Ken Wilber gilt als Ganzheitsphilosoph. Er wurde als Vordenker des
3. Jahrtausends bezeichnet.
In seinem Schaffenswerk bringt er zum Ausdruck, dass jede Theorie zur Wirklichkeit, jedes Realitätsmodell, zugleich ein Stufenmodell ist, das sich mit der ewigen Philosophie [die Jahrtausende überdauernde, zeit-
lose Philosophie] decken muss und eine ontologische Seinsordnung einbeziehen muss.

Nach Wilber beinhalten alle Stufenmodelle folgenden Stufen:
1. Materie
2. Biologie
3. Psychologie
4. Feinstoffliches / Heiligmäßiges
5. Weisheit / Erwachtsein
6. Ultimatives – jenseits des Bewusstseins
Ken Wilber (*1949) US-amerikanischer mystischer Philosoph, Vordenker des 3. Jahrtausends, transpersonaler Bewusstseinsforscher, Entwickler der Integralen Theorie, Autor, A Holographic Paradigm, S. 159, 1982

Ken Wilbers Kosmologie – AQAL-Modell

AQAL-Modell

Das AQAL-Modell [Alle Quadranten, alle Ebenen] ist eine vollständige Landkarte der Wirklichkeit.
Der integrale Prozess beinhaltet nach Wilber:

Drei Dimensionen,
Drei Bewegungen,
Sieben Stadien,
Sechs Entwicklungen,
Einen Prozess.

Kosmologie des AQAL-Modells

Kosmologie des AQAL-Modells. Es besteht aus vier Quadranten:

Subjektiv – "Ich" (persönlich; oben links)
Intersubjektiv – [d.h. kulturell] "Wir" (kulturell, unten links)
Interobjektiv – "Seines" (sozial; unten rechts) und
Objektiv – "Es" (verhaltensmäßig; oben rechts)

Sie beziehen sich auf relative Ganzheiten oder so genannte "Holons" [Begriff, den Arthur Koestler geprägt hat].

Zustände

Zustände ist ein Kurzwort für vier Arten von "Bewusstseinszuständen".

Der grobstoffliche Wachzustand,
der subtile Traumzustand und
der kausale Tiefschlaf sind natürlich und gewöhnlich, während
meditative und kontemplative Zustände ungewöhnlicher Art sind:
- die Zeugenschaft (turiya)
- der nonduale Bewusstseinszustand (turiyatita)
The fourth (i.e. Turiya) is NOT a state. It is the background on which dream and wake arises and disappears. Turiya is just another term to describe pure awareness. It is also called the Nirvikalpa. Mandukya Upanishad

Typen

Typen sind unterschiedliche Ausdrucksweisen, in denen man existieren und auf jeder Ebene oder Entwicklungsstufe agieren kann:

2 Geschlechter: Maskulin / feminin
4 Human Design System-Typen
9 Enneagrammtypen
12 astrologische Tierkreiszeichen
16 Typen der Myers-Briggs-Typologie

Linien

Linien (auch Ströme genannt) sind verschiedene Dimensionen und Fähigkeiten des Selbst, die inneren Wachstumsebenen zu überspannen.

Es gibt zwei Hauptkategorien von Linien:

selbstbezogene Linien und
Talente oder Fähigkeiten.

Die selbstbezogenen Linien betreffen den Selbstsinn (Wer bin ich?), Verhaltensregeln (Wie soll ich mit anderen umgehen?) und Bedürfnisse (Was brauche ich?). Diese Linien verlaufen nah beieinander durch viele Seinsebenen und sind stark auf die eigene Identität bezogen.
Talente oder Fähigkeiten sind musikalische, kinesthetische und künstlerische Linien, die sich eigenständig von den selbstbezogenen Linien und den anderen Talentlinien entwickeln.

Acht Ebenen

Die acht Ebenen oder Wellen beziehen sich auf die zunehmenden Ordnungen der Kompetenz und Komplexität in jeder beliebigen Linie oder Strom.

Spiral Dynamics – Zuordnungen und Terminologie von K. Wilber

*Werte des Ersten Tiers* / Bereichs**	*Werte des Zweiten Tiers* / Bereichs**
♦ MAGENTA (egozentrisch, magisch)	♦ *BLAUGRÜN (weltzentrisch bis kosmozentrisch, integral)*
♦ ROT (ego- bis soziozentrisch, egoistisch)	♦ *TÜRKIS (kosmozentrisch, integral)*
♦ BERNSTEIN (soziozentrisch, mythisch)
♦ ORANGE (weltzentrisch, rational)
♦ GRÜN (weltzentrisch, pluralistisch)

Spiral Dynamics-Tabelle – Zuordnungen / Terminologie nach Wilber

༺༻	FARBE/N Eigenschaft	Ebene	Beschreibung
1.	MAGENTA SD VIOLETT –––––––––––– Egozentrisch, magisch	Familienebene. Primitive Clanbildung, Gruppenzugehörigkeit	Animismus, Verehrung der Ahnen, Tabus, Rituale. Als gesellschaftliche Form bei einigen Naturvölkern zu finden; beim Kleinkind i.d.R. vor dem 3. Lebensjahr. Übergang: beim Wunsch, sich als Individuum und nicht nur als Teil eines Kollektivs zu definieren. Die magentafarbene Ebene begann vor etwa 50.000 Jahren. Sie ist eher die Heimat egozentrischer Triebe, einer magischen Weltanschauung und Impulsi- vität. Sie drückt sich durch Magie/Animismus, verwandte Geister und derglei- chen aus. Vor allem Kleinkinder agieren mit einer magentafarbenen Weltan- schauung. Magenta ist in jeder Entwicklungslinie grundlegend beziehungs- weise der "Ausgangspunkt" für alle neuen Aufgaben. Die magentafarbenen Emotionen und Wahrnehmungen können als treibende Kräfte für das kulturelle Superhelden-Phänomen in Comics oder Filmem gesehen werden.
2.	ROT –––––––––––– Ego- bis soziozentrisch, egoistisch	Selbstbestimmung	Stärke, Rebellion, Heldentum, Macht, "Ich gewinne", Gesellschaftliche Struktur durch Stärke geprägt. Als Gesellschaft typisch für Totalitarismus, Diktatur, Monarchie (vgl. mittelalterisches Deutschland). Beim Kind um das 3.-4. Lebensjahr (Trotzphase). Übergang: Kristallisierung der Machtstruktur Die rote Ebene begann vor etwa 10.000 Jahren. Sie kennzeichnet die egozen- trischen Antriebe, die auf dem "Macht schafft Recht"-Machtanspruch basieren. Im roten Reich herrscht die Aggression, und die Fähigkeit, sich in die Rolle eines "Anderen" hinein zu versetzen. Rote Impulse werden typischerweise in der Grundschule und in den unteren Klassen von Realschule und Gymnasium gesehen, wo Mobbing, Hänseleien und ähnliches Verhalten die Norm sind. Kulturell gesehen sind rote Antriebe in den ultimativen Kampfmaschinen-Wettkämpfen ohne feste Regeln vertreten [Feste Regeln entstehen erst in der nächsten bernsteinfarbenen Ebene.]. Man findet sie auch in der Teenager-Rebellion und in den "Die jungen schnellen und wütenden Wilden"-Filmen, worin es um Gang-Dynamiken und dergleichen mehr geht (wobei stets die Stärkeren die Schwächeren beherrschen).
3.	BERNSTEIN SD BLAU –––––––––––– Sozioentrisch, mythisch	Gesellschaftliche Ordnung	Klare Regeln, Hierarchie, Ordnung, Absolutismus, übergeordnete Macht, Dogmatismus, Starrheit. Typische Gesellschaftsform der heutigen Staaten. Beim Kind bis zur Pubertät. Übergang: wenn die Struktur mehr verhindert, als sie erlaubt. Die bernsteinfarbene Ebene begann vor etwa 5.000 Jahren. Sie ist eine im Wesentlichen traditionalistisch, ihre und mythischen Weltanschauungen sind fast durchwegs absolutistisch geprägt. (Diese Entwicklungsstufe gilt als absolutistische Stufe.) Im Gegensatz zur Formel "Macht schafft Recht" orientiert sich die bernsteinfarbene Ethik eher an der Gruppe, die sich allerdings nur auf "meine" Gruppe erstreckt. Grundschul- und Oberstufen- schüler verhalten sich in der Regel nach der bernsteinfarbenen Motivation, sich "anzupassen" und "einzufügen". Die bernsteinfarbene Moral hilft, die Entzündlickkeit und den Narzissmus von Rot in Schach zu halten. Kulturell gesehen sind bernsteinfarbene Weltanschauungen geprägt von Fundamenta- lismus ("Mein Gott hat auf alle Fälle Recht"), extremem Patriotismus ("Mein Land hat auf alle Fälle Recht.") und Soziozentrismus ("Mein Volk hat auf alle Fälle Recht.")
5.	ORANGE –––––––––––– Weltzentrisch, rational	Sozial verträglichen Entwicklung	Wissenschaft, Ambition, Leistung, Fortschritt, Vernunft, "Win-win". Typische Gesellschaftsform der Unternehmen. Beim jungen Erwachsenen bis etwa zum 18.-25. Lebensjahr. Übergang: beim Erkenntnis, dass ein "immer weiter nach oben" nie ein Ende hat. Die orange Ebene begann vor etwa 500 Jahren – in der Zeitperiode der sogenannten europäischen Aufklärung. In der orangenen Weltsicht beginnt das Individuum, sich von der bernsteinfarbenen Konformität zu lösen, welche die Anschauungen der eigenen Religion, Nation oder des eigenen Stammes verdinglicht. Die orangefarbene Weltanschauung bildet sich oft erst allmählich in der späten Gymnasialoberstufe oder in der Volljährigkeit heraus. Kulturell gesehen erkennt die orangefarbene Weltanschauung "Die Wahrheit wird einem nicht serviert, sie wird entdeckt." Diese Einsicht spornt an zu großen Fortschritten der Wissenschaft und der formalen Rationalität. Die orange- farbene Ethik ist bereit, alle Menschen zu umarmen: "Wir halten diese Wahrheiten für ausgemacht, daß alle Menschen gleich erschaffen wurden ...". ⚡ Ayn Rands Objektivismus und die Zusatzartikel der US-amerikanischen Verfassung, ausgedrückt in der Bill of Rights (1789) und vielen Gesetze zum Schutz der individuellen Freiheit entstammen aus der orangenen Weltanschauung.
6.	GRÜN –––––––––––– Weltzentrisch, pluralistisch	Ebene des gesellschaftlichen Konstruktivismus	Gleichbehandlung, Gleichberechtigung, Akzeptanz, Ökologie, Relativismus. Typische Gesellschaftsform der Hilfsorganisationen. Beim Erwachsenen bis etwa zur Midlife-Krise. Übergang: Notwendigkeit einer Entscheidungsfindung. Die grüne Ebene begann vor etwa 150 Jahren, wiewohl sie in den 1960er Jahren ihren kraftvollsten Ausdruck fand. Grüne Weltanschauungen sind geprägt vom Pluralismus, der Fähigkeit, zu sehen, dass es mehrere Möglich- keiten gibt, die Wirklichkeit zu sehen. Während Orange universelle Wahrheiten anerkennt ("Alle Menschen sind gleich an Würde und Rechten geboren."), anerkennt Grün eine Reihe von universellen Wahrheiten – verschiedene Universalien für unterschiedliche Kulturen. Die grüne Moral setzt die Bewe- gung der Einbeziehung aller Menschen fort und weitet sie radikal aus. Eine grüne Aussage könnte sein: "Wir halten diese Wahrheiten für selbstverständ- lich, dass alle Menschen gleich geschaffen sind, unabhängig von Rasse, Geschlecht, Klasse ..." Grüne Moral have given birth to the Bürgerrechte, Feministen und homosexuelle Bürgerrechte sowie Umweltschutz. Die multiplen Perspektiven der grünen Weltanschauung ermöglichen mehr Mitgefühl, Idealismus und Engagement – in der gesunden Form. Derlei Qualitäten werden von Organisationen wie Sierra Club, Amnesty Interna- tional, die Vereinigung der besorgten Wissenschaftler und Ärzte ohne Grenzen geschätzt. In ihrer ungesunden Form können grüne Weltanschau- ungen in einen extremen Relativismus einmünden, der alle Überzeugungen als relativ und gleichwertig wahr betrachtet, was wiederum zu dem Nihilismus, Narzissmus, der Ironie und Sinnentleertheit führen kann, die bei vielen Intellektuellen, Akademikern und Trendsettern zum Ausdruck kommt, ganz zu schweigen von einer weiteren "verlorenen" Generation von Studenten.

7.	BLAUGRÜN SD GELB –––––––––––– Weltzentrisch bis "kosmozentrisch", integral	Integrale Wahrnehmung Systeme in Systemen	Unsicherheitsprinzip, Chaostheorie, Intergration aller möglichen Ansichten, Großbilddenken (Big Picture), flexibles Handeln. Gesellschaftlich praktisch noch unentwickelt. Beim Erwachsenen etwa ab dem 40. Lebensjahr. Übergang: Teilung der erworbenen Kenntnisse und Ansichten mit der Gesellschaft. Die blaugrüne Ebene markiert den Beginn der integralen Weltanschauung, wo Pluralismus und Relativismus transzendiert und in ein systematischeres Ganzes einbezogen werden. Der Übergang von grün zu blaugrün wird auch als der Übergang von den Werten des "ersten Tiers" zu den Werten des "zweiten Tiers" bezeichnet, wobei der unmittelbarste Unterschied darin besteht, dass jeder Wert der "ersten Stufe" überzeugt ist, der einzige wirklich richtige Wert zu sein, während die Werte der "zweiten Stufe" die Bedeutung aller vorangegangenen Entwicklungsstufen anerkennen. Demnach würdigt die blaugrüne Weltsicht die Erkenntnisse der grünen Weltanschauung, stellt sie allerdings in einen größeren Denkrahmen, der gesunde Hierarchien und gesunde Wertezuordnungen möglich macht. Der entscheidende Schritt der blaugrünen Weltsicht ist, den Entwicklungspro- zess an sich zu begreifen, wobei sie anerkennt, dass jede der vorhergehenden Stufen (magenta bis grün) eine wichtige Rolle im menschlichen Erleben spielt. Das blaugrüne Bewusstsein anerkennt, dass jede der vorhergehenden Stufen eine wichtige Wahrheit offenbart. Es fügt sie alle zusammen und integriert sie, ohne zu versuchen, sie zu verändern, um "mehr als ich zu sein", und ohne sich des extremeren kulturellen Relativismus ("Alle sind gleich.") zu bedienen. Die blaugrünen Weltanschauungen anerkennen nicht nur alle Standpunkte (die grüne Weltsicht) – sie können sie sehen und ehren, jedoch auch kritisch bewerten.
8.	TÜRKIS –––––––––––– "Kosmozentrisch", integral	Holonische Ebene. Bewusste, universelle Ordnung	Keine Spaltung von Gedanken und Gefühlen, Verbundenheit aller Netzwerke, hohe Spiritualität, Kollektivbewusstsein ("kollektive Juden"). Gesellschaftlich nicht existent. Dieser Zustand kommt bei Menschen extrem selten vor. Übergang: --- Türkis ist eine reife integrale Sicht, man respektiert nicht nur die gesunde Hierarchie, sondern auch die unterschiedlichen Quadranten des menschlichen Wissens, des Selbstausdrucks und der Erforschung (zumindest: ich, wir und es). Während blaugrüne Weltanschauungen eher weltlich ausgerichtet sind, ist Türkis flugs dabei, den Spirit als lebendige Kraft in der Welt (manifestiert durch eines oder alle drei Gesichter Gottes) zu integrieren: "Ich" – das "Nichtselbst" oder der "Zeuge" des Buddhismus; "WIR/DU-ES" – der "Große Andere" des Christentums, Judentum, Hinduismus, Islam; oder "Es" – das "Netz des Lebens", das im Taoismus, Pantheismus und dergleichen mehr vorkommt).

Weltentwicklung bis 2030 – Ken Wilber

Der Sprung vom Nationalstaat zur Weltregierung

Wilber sagt voraus:

Bis etwa 2030 wird kein "globaler Bewusstseinswandel" in allen Schichten geschehen.
70% der Weltbevölkerung denken weitgehend feudalistisch-nationalstaatlich. Ihnen liegt an ethnischen Säuberungen (roter Bereich), sie fechten Stammeskriege (lila und roter Bereich) aus.
Sie formieren sich zu feudalistischen Nationalstaaten (Balkan / Naher Osten).
China und Russland werden aus dem Nationalstaat (blauer Bereich) herauswachsen und sich in einen
Firmenkonzern-Staat (oranger Bereich) wandeln.
20% der Amerikaner (und wohl ein knapp höherer Prozentsatz der Europäer) haben sich dem postmodernen pluralistischen Denken (grüner Bereich) zugewandt.
Ein sehr kleiner Prozentsatz der US-Amerikaner und Westeuropäer wird in den kommenden beiden Jahrzehnten das Denken des postmodernen Nationalstaats (grüner Bereich) im 1.Tier aufgeben und den Sprung in das 2. Tier vollziehen.
Dieser gewaltige Bewusstseinssprung beginnt mit dem Aufbau einer integralen Weltregierung.

Der US-amerikanische/europäische Anteil der Integralen (gelber Bereich, 2. Tier) wird bis etwa 2030 von 2% bis auf 8% ansteigen.
- Die übrigen Bewusstseinsschichten in den Vereinigten Staaten, Europa und der Welt werden sich bis etwa 2030 wenig weiter entwickeln.

☛ Interview mit Ken Wilber, Interview 1220_3, Teil III, präsentiert von wilber.shambhala.com, ohne Datumsangabe
☛ Audiovortrag von ⚡ Ken Wilber On Living at the Leading Edge of Evolution, präsentiert von der Publikation Integral Life,
Mai 2011, YouTube Film, Minute 19:58, 39:59 Minuten Dauer, eingestellt 26. März 2013
Entwicklungspsychologen zufolge wird der Tipping Point (die kritische Masse) von 10%, genauer 11,11% von

Soziologische Studien zeigen, dass 5% der Bevölkerung integrale Entwicklungsstufen, den Umschwungsmoment [Tipping Point], erreicht haben. Wenn etwa 10% der Bevölkerung bei der Speerspitze der Evolution angelangt sind, übernimmt die gesamte Zivilisation allmählich einen Großteil ihrer Werte.

Nach Wilber können 25% der Bevölkerung (Grünes Mem) die Integrale Politik verstehen,
jedoch nur 2% (Gelb/Türkises Mem) können sie vertreten und betreiben.

"Cognitively about 25% of the population will understand [integral politics] and often feel attracted to it."

Fünf Stammbildungen in der Gesellschaft – Langzeitstudie von David Logan

Gruppenstrukturen (Stämme) in Firmen und der Gesellschaft
[Die prozentuale Aufteilung von Stämmen bildet eine Gaußsche Normalverteilungskurve.]

Attraktor- stufe	Eigenschaften des Stammes	Bezeichnende Redewendung	% Verteilung Firma / Bevölkerung	Gesamt- wirkung Tier-Ebene	Referenz
Stufe 1	Überlebensmodus – Scham- und Schuldkultur Gangs, Gefängnisse – Ohne Werte Feindseligkeit, Verzweiflung, Kriminalität	Das Leben ist beschissen!	2%	Energieverlust 1. Tier Minus-Bereich	Irrtum
Stufe 2	Opferhaltung–Suchtstruktur Mitlaufende Massenmenschen Passiv resigniert antagonistisch Unterdrückt sarkastisch	Mein Leben ist beschissen!	25%	Energieverlust 1. Tier Minus-Bereich	Irrtum
Stufe 3	Stolz-Schamkultur – Ich-Kult Selbstbezogener Individualismus Wissensarbeiter: Wissen ist Macht. Gewinnen ist persönlich auf der Basis "meiner" Werte.	Ich bin großartig (und du nicht)!	49%	Energieverlust 1. Tier Minus-Bereich	Irrtum

Die rankistische Stolz-Schamkultur umfasst etwa 76% der Weltbevölkerung.

Stufe 4	Schöpferisches Team – Wir-Kultur Binnenwerteorientierung Einfühlsame Kreative: "Wir" sind größer als "ich". Je größer der Feind, desto machtvoller der Stamm.	Wir sind großartig (und ihr nicht)!	22%	Unterstützend 1. Tier Plus-Bereich	Linearität
Stufe 5	Dienbereite Gruppe Orientierung: Menschenwürde und Menschenrechte Unendliches Potential der Gruppe Weltweiter Einfluss Mitbewerber werden nicht bekämpft.	Das Leben ist großartig!	2%	Auslöser für Weltveränderung 2. Tier Plus-Bereich	Nichtlinearität

Die Würdekultur umfasst etwa 24% der Weltbevölkerung.

⚑ Ein Stamm/Zusammenkunft ist eine Gruppe von 20-150 Personen. Die benutzte Sprache offenbart den jeweiligen Stamm.
⚑ Sich entwickelnde Gruppen können keine Stufe überspringen.
⚑ Es ist unwirksam, 'schlechte Früchte' auszusortieren. Wenn man die untersten 10% der Mitarbeiter entlässt,
wird die verbleibende Belegschaft deren Position innerhalb der Gruppe ersetzen.
⚑ Authentische Führer können den Schwerpunkt der Gruppe mittels Sprache beeinflussen.
⚑ Nach Ken Wilber können 25% der Bevölkerung integrale Ansätze kognitiv verstehen,
jedoch sind nur 2% in der Lage, sie zu vertreten und zu wahren.
⚑ Kommentar: Dies entspricht in etwa den statistischen Zahlenwerten, die David Logan in einer zehnjährigen Studie für die
Stufe 4 (22%) und die Stufe 5 (2%) ermittelt hat.

Führer müssen auf allen Ebenen kommunizieren können, um jeden Einzelnen in der Gesellschaft zu berühren. Man lässt sie jedoch nicht dort, wo man sie angetroffen hat. Stämme können nur eine Sprachebene oberhalb und unterhalb ihres Standorts hören. [...] Führer vermitteln den Leuten innerhalb ihrer Stämme den Anstoß, auf die nächsthöhere Ebene zu wechseln.

Leidenschaftliches Wahrheitsstreben

Kierkegaard weist darauf hin, dass sich die Wahrheit nur enthüllt, wenn man sie mit der Intensität der Verrücktheit angeht – keine Gefangenen! – und ich stehe in dieser Tradition.
Allerdings bedauere ich es, dass sich manche Leute von diesem leidenschaftlichen Ansatz und Stil verärgern lassen. Auf der emotionalen Ebene fühle ich mich überhaupt nicht wohl mit Konflikten – ich wünsche mir wirklich, dass sich
alle mögen. Aber bedauerlicherweise schafft das Ringen um Wahrheit auch Feinde. Und vielleicht sind meine
Ansichten völlig falsch, vielleicht richtig. So oder so, schafft das Gegner, und ich habe lernen müssen, damit klarzu-
kommen. Interview mit ⚡ Ken Wilber (*1949) US-amerikanischer mystischer Philosoph, Vordenker des 3.

Ich habe mich oft als nordeuropäischen Denker mit südeuropäischem Lebensstil beschrieben, der östliche Religion praktiziert – oder so ähnlich. Meiner Meinung nach bin ich vor allem nicht "amerikanisch", auch wenn die Europäer
mich dummerweise so einschätzen, was zeigt, wie schwer es ist, die kulturelle Sozialisation zu erschüttern.

Großes Zittergras

Es geht einfach darum, dass das Bewusstsein sich in seiner rasanten Höherentwicklung vollkommen vom gewöhnlichen Geist und Selbst absondert und daher den Namen "Über-Selbst" oder "Über-Geist" durchaus verdient. In ähnlicher Weise könnte man das Ich den "Über-Körper" oder die "Über-Instinkte" nennen, da es als eine verstandesmäßig-geistige Einheit die einfachen Gefühle und Wahrnehmungen [...] transzendiert und übergreift. [...] Gott ist [...] der archetypische Gipfelpunkt des eigenen Bewusstseins.

New Age war – trotz der berechtigten Grundintuition nach Ganzheitlichkeit – ein Missverständnis. Es war eine Verwechslung von prä-rational mit trans-rational und von magi-
schem Narzissmus mit transzendentalem Bewusstsein. Aber New Age war auch ein Missverständnis, das letztlich
den Boden bereitet hat dafür, dass wir heute eine echte Wissenschaft des Geistes für das 21. Jahrhundert aufbauen können. ⚡ Ken Wilber (*1949) US-amerikanischer mystischer Philosoph, Vordenker des 3.

[W]ie wir uns ständig uns selber, anderen und der Welt entfremden, indem wir unser gegenwärtiges Erleben in ver-
schiedene Teile zerlegen, die durch Grenzen getrennt sind. Wir spalten unser Gewahrsein künstlich in Abteilungen
auf: Subjekt/Objekt, Leben/Tod, Leib/Seele, Inneres/Äusseres, Verstand/Gefühl – eine Trennungslegung, die zur
Folge hat, dass ein Erleben das andere einschneidend stört und das Leben sich selbst bekämpft. Das Ergebins ist
einfach Unglücklichsein, auch wenn man ihm viele andere Namen gibt.

Man geht von der unbewussten Hölle zur bewussten Hölle. Und sich der Hölle, des Samsara, der zerfleischenden Existenz, bewusst zu sein, macht das Heranwachsen und das Erwachsenenleben zu einem Alptraum von Elend
und Entfremdung. Das Kind-Selbst ist relativ friedlich gestimmt, nicht weil es sich im [unbewussten] Himmel auf-
hält, sondern weil es nicht ausreichend bewusst ist, die es umgebenden Flammen der Hölle zu bemerken.

Die "sieben wichtigsten Übereinstimmungen der immerwährenden Philosophie aller Zeiten, der allermeisten Kulturen, spirituellen Lehren, Philosophien und Länder":
1. Der spirituelle GEIST (Gott, die höchste Wirklichkeit, die absolute Seinsheit, die Quelle, das Eine, Brahman, Dharmakaya, Kether, Tao, Allah, Shiva, Jahweh, Aton, Manitu…) existiert.
2. Er muss innen gesucht werden.
3. Die meisten von uns erkennen diesen GEIST nicht, weil sie in einer Welt der Sünde, Trennung und Dualität leben, in einem Zustand der Gefallenheit und Isolation.
4. Es gibt einen Ausweg aus Sünde und Illusion, einen Pfad zur Befreiung.
5. Wenn wir diesem Pfad bis ans Ende folgen, finden wir Wiedergeburt oder Erleuchtung, eine direkte Erfah-
  rung des inneren GEISTES, eine letzte Befreiung.
6. Diese letzte Befreiung bedeutet das Ende von Sünde und Leiden.
7. Sie mündet in mitfühlendes und erbarmendes Handeln für alle Lebewesen.

Austauschbeziehungen

Jedes beliebige Austauschsystem – sei es materielle Arbeit, gefühlsmäßiger Verkehr oder begriffliche Kommunikation – kann eingeschränkt, unterdrückt, verdrängt und entstellt werden, und zwar von der gesellschaftlichen Umwelt, in der dieser Austausch an sich auf ideale und freie Weise stattfinden sollte. (Mit "frei" meine ich hier "angemessen" und
nicht "exzessiv".) […] Am häufigsten wird diese Entstellung von den Individuen angezettelt, die, seien sie einfache Bür-
ger oder mächtige Anführer, eigentlich Hüter eines ungestörten Austauschs und ungestörter Beziehungen sein sollten. Solche Störungen haben die Tendenz, institutionalisiert zu werden, so dass sie sich ohne bewusste Absicht reprodu-
zieren (kraft der sozialen Trägheit). ⚡ Ken Wilber (*1949) US-amerikanischer mystischer Philosoph, Vordenker des 3. Jahr-
tausends, transpersonaler Bewusstseinsforscher, Entwickler der Integralen Theorie, Autor, Halbzeit der Evolution.

Die archetypischen Vorkämpfer für nicht-verdrängte Beziehungen in jeder dieser Sphären sind
- Ebene 1 Repräsentant: Karl Marx – Gemeinschaftliche Arbeit, Uroboros
- Ebene 2 Repräsentant: Typhon, Sigmund Freud –
  Gefühlsbasierter zwischenmenschlicher Verkehr und
- Ebene 3 Repräsentant: Sokrates – Verbale Verständigung, Kommunikation in der Gemeinschaft.
  Und natürlich würde eine vollständige Gesellschaftstheorie noch solche höheren Sphären und Vorkämpfer hinzufügen wie
- Ebene 4: Repräsentant: John Locke – Selbstachtung,
- Ebene 5 Repräsentant: Patanjali – Übersinnliche Intuition,
- Ebene 6 Repräsentant: Kirpal Singh – Feinstoffliches Einssein, und
- Ebene 7/8 Repräsentanten: Buddha, Christus, Krishna – Höchste Transzendenz [...]
  So wie das Ich (bis heute) die höchste Ebene des vielschichtigen Durchschnitts-Individuums ist und die
  Macht hat, nicht nur seine eigene Ebene, sondern alle niederen Ebenen zu stören, zu unterdrücken und zu
  verdrängen, so konnte das ichhafte Atman-Projekt nicht nur seine eigene Ebene ausbeuten, sondern alle
  niederen Ebenen des Seins mit dem Versuch ausbeuten, Ersatzbefriedigung, Scheintranszendenz und
  symbolische Unsterblichkeit zu erlangen. Das ichhafte Atman-Projekt konnte folgende Vorgänge aus-
  beuten (und damit auch stören).
- Materieller Austausch: der Versuch, unbegrenzten Wohlstand und Eigentum zu besitzen, Geld und Gold,
  Güter und Kapital als Unsterblichkeitssymbole.
- Gefühlsmäßig-sexueller Austausch: der Versuch, aus orgasmischer Entspannung und hedonistischer Aus-
  schweifung oder ganz allgemein gefühlsmäßigem Überschwang transzendente Befriedigung zu erlangen.
- Austausch verbaler Gruppenzugehörigkeit: der Versuch, die eigene Ideologie und die eigene Version symbolischer Unsterblichkeit verbal zu propagieren, den im Idealfall freien kommunikativen Austausch
  zu stören, das Bewusstsein der Gruppenzugehörigkeit zu kontrollieren und symbolische Allmacht zu er-
  langen;
  kommunikative Störung durch Abwehr- und Ersatzmanöver.
- Austausch ichhafter Selbstachtung: der Versuch, anderen ihre gleichberechtigte Anerkennung und
  Achtung zu nehmen, indem man erzwingt, dass das eigene Ego die "Nummer Eins" ist und anerkann-
  termaßen über allen anderen steht, kosmozentrisch und von allen verherrlicht.

Nehmen wir die Standardauffassung, dass sich Flügel aus Vorderbeinen entwickelt haben. Es dürften etwa einhundert Mutationsschritte notwendig sein, bis aus einem Bein ein funktionstüchtiger Flügel wird, wobei ein halber Flügel keinen Sinn hat: Ein halber Flügel taugt nicht als Bein und nicht als Flügel – man kann damit nicht mehr laufen und noch nicht fliegen. Er hat keinerlei Anpassungswert. Mit anderen Worten, mit einem halben Flügel ist man Futter. Die Entwicklung des Flügels kann nur dann erfolgreich sein, wenn diese einhundert Mutationsschritte schlagartig in einem einzelnen Tier auftreten; außerdem müssen dieselben Mutationen gleichzeitig in einem anderen Tier des anderen Geschlechts auftreten [...]
Derzeit hat man sich darauf geeinigt, hier von einer «Quantenevolution» oder «punktuellen Evolution» oder «emergenten Evolution» zu sprechen, bei der absolut neue, emergente und unglaublich komplexe Holons in der Art eines Quantensprungs plötzlich ins Dasein treten, wobei jeglicher Hinweis auf Zwischenformen fehlt. Es müssen also Dutzende oder Hunderte nicht-tödliche Mutationen gleichzeitig auftreten, damit ein Überleben möglich ist – zum Beispiel im Falle eines Flügels oder des Augapfels. ⚡ Ken Wilber (*1949) US-amerikanischer mystischer Philosoph, Vordenker des 3.

Die Verwechslung von "prärational" und "transrational"

Durch einen Denkfehler der ersten Art werden alle höheren und transrationalen Zustände auf niedrigere und prärationale reduziert. Echte mystische oder kontemplative Erfahrungen beispielsweise werden als Regression zu infantilem Narzissmus, ozeanischem Adualismus, Indissoziation oder sogar als primitiver Autismus gedeutet. Diesen Weg nahm beispielsweise Freud in Die Zukunft einer Illusion (1927). […]
Ist man andererseits für höhere und mystische Zustände aufgeschlossen, verwechselt aber trotzdem prä und trans, dann wird man alles Prärationale zu transrationaler Glorie erheben oder elevieren wollen, indem man zum Beispiel
den infantilen primären Narzissmus als unbewusstes Schlummern in der Unio mystica auffasst. Jung und seine Nachfolger haben häufig diesen Weg beschritten und müssen tiefe Transpersonalität und Spiritualität in lediglich undissoziierte und undifferenzierte Zustände hineinlesen, denen jegliche Integration mangelt. […]
Freud war ein Reduktionist, Jung ein Elevationist – die beiden Seiten der Prä/trans-Verwechslung.

[…] dass es mindestens zwei Arten von Hierarchien gibt. Dies wird zunehmend von den Forschern in diesem Be-
reich – wie Riane Eisler – anerkannt. Das eine sind Wachstumshierarchien, und das andere Herrschaftshie-
rarchien. Was dabei kritisiert wird, sind die Herrschaftshierarchien […]. Ich Ken Wilber habe sehr viel darüber
geschrieben, wie Herrschaftshierarchien entstehen und wie Machtansprüche in einer Hierarchie durchgesetzt
werden, und ich habe mehr darüber geschrieben und kritisiert als viele meiner Kritiker. […] es gibt auch Wachs-
tumshierarchien, und das ist das, was wir mit Holarchie bezeichnen. Eine Wachstumshierarchie findet sich in
Abfolgen wie Atome-Moleküle-Zellen-Organismen. Wachstumshierarchien schließen nicht aus, sie beziehen
mit ein. Sie zeigen, wie man Machtausübung überwindet. Atome werden von Molekülen transzendiert und um-
fasst – sie werden von Molekülen umarmt und geliebt und nicht unterdrückt – und Moleküle werden von Zellen
transzendiert und umfasst. Zellen unterdrücken ihre Moleküle nicht. Zellen sind ihrerseits in Organismen trans-
zendiert und umfasst. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Serie konzentrischer Sphären zunehmender Liebe und
Umfassendheit und Bewusstheit.

Es gibt diese allgemeinen Wellen der Entfaltung, und sie repräsentieren, was wir 'ineinandergreifende Hierarchien'
oder 'Holarchien' der Entwicklung nennen, wie zum Beispiel, dass 'weltzentrisch' höherstufig ist als 'soziozentrisch'
und dies wiederum höher als 'egozentrisch'. Es ist besser, weltzentrisch zu sein als soziozentrisch, folglich kann
man soziozentrischen Vorurteilen gegenüber äußerst kritisch sein. Ironischerweise ist das grüne Mem selbst
ständig mit dem Aufstellen hierarchischer Urteile beschäftigt, obwohl es Hierarchien doch eigentlich ablehnt.

Die großen Weisheitstraditionen besagen generell, dass sich die Realität aus mindestens drei großen Bereichen zusammensetzt:
1. dem Grobstofflichen,
2. dem Feinstofflichen und
3. dem Kausalen (d.h. dem Nirmanakaya, dem Sambhogakaya und dem Dharmakaya).

Die materielle Welt ist der materielle Körper und die sensomotorische Welt, also die für die physischen Sinne im Wachzustand sichtbare Welt. Der subtile Bereich ist der Geist und seine Vorstellungen, wie wir sie lebhaft im Traumzustand, in manchen Meditationserfahrungen und, wie es heißt, in den Bereichen des Bardo nach dem
Tod erfahren. All diese sind subtile Bewusstseinszustände.

Wenn die progressive Bewegung einer Kultur etwa zehn Prozent der Bevölkerung ausmacht, kommt es tendenziell zu einem Wendpunkt und die Werte dieser progressiven Bewegung durchdringen die gesamte Kultur. Die integrale kognitive Verständnisfähigkeit, die wir in etwa fünf Prozent der Bevölkerung sehen, muss etwa zehn Prozent erreichen. Und ich denke, dass das im Bildungssystem stattfinden kann, denn Trumps postfaktische Welt schockiert viele Men-
schen, darunter buchstäblich alle postmodernen Theoretiker auf unserem Planeten. Seitdem hat keiner von ihnen gesagt, es gäbe keine Wahrheit. Sie sehen, dass Trump so etwas sagt, und merken, wie zerstörerisch es ist. Das ist eine evolutionäre Selbstkorrektur. Mit Trump wurde es für intelligente, reflektierte Menschen unmöglich, zu sagen:
Es gibt keine Wahrheit.
Also gibt es gute Gründe zu erwarten, dass mehr integrales Denken in das Bildungssystem Einzug hält. Dann ist es möglich, in einem oder in zwei Jahrzehnten auf 10 oder 20 Prozent der Bevölkerung mit einem integralen Bewusstsein zu kommen. Jeder von uns kann versuchen, so vielen Menschen wie möglich diese Entwicklungswege zu vermitteln. Das beinhaltet das Aufwachen genauso wie Heranreifen. Es ist problematisch für die postmoderne Kultur, dass es in

Quotes by Ken Wilber

Personal avowals

In my case, when I become afraid, when fear overcomes me, my ordinary lightness of outlook, which generously might be referred to as wit, degenerates into sarcasm and snideness, a biting bitterness towards those around me – not because I am snide by nature, but because I am afraid.
⚡ Ken Wilber (*1949) US American transpersonal philosopher, consciousness researcher, thought leader of the 3rd millennium, developer of Integral Theory, author, Grace and Grit. Spirituality and Healing in the Life and Death of Treya Killam Wilber, S. 152, Shambhala Publications, Boulder, Colorado, 1991, 2nd edition 6. February 2001

Kierkegaard pointed out that truth is only revealed if you go at it with an insane intensity – take no prisoners! – and
I belong to that tradition.
I do regret, however, that some people are upset with this passionate approach and style. Emotionally, I really am not comfortable with confrontational issues – I really want everybody to like everybody. But, alas, the quest for truth makes enemies. And maybe I am totally wrong in my opinions, or maybe I am right. But either way, it makes enemies, and I have had to learn to come to terms with that.

sopher, consciousness researcher, thought leader of the 3rd millennium, founder of Integral Theory, author, Bodhisattvas are going

I have often described myself as a northern European thinker with a southern European lifestyle who practices Eas-
tern religion – or something like that. "American" is not how I particularly think of myself, although, annoyingly, that is
how Europeans think of me, which shows how hard it is to shake cultural embeddedness. But really, Anglo-Saxon
empiricism and cowboy pragmatism: who needs it?

Compassion

Real compassion kicks butt and takes names. If you are not ready for this fire, then find a New Age, sweetness-and-light, perpetually smiling teacher and learn to relabel your ego with spiritual sounding terms. But, stay away from those who practice real compassion because they will fry your ass, my friend. ⚡ Ken Wilber (*1949) US American transpersonal philosopher, consciousness researcher, thought leader of the 3rd millennium, author, One Taste.

Decorative apple "Red Sentinel"

[A]ll of those for whom authentic transformation has deeply unseated their souls must, I believe, wrestle with the profound moral obligation to shout from the heart –
➤ perhaps quietly and gently,
➤ with tears of reluctance;
➤ perhaps with fierce fire and angry wisdom;
➤ perhaps with slow and careful analysis;
➤ perhaps by unshakable public example –

but authentically always and absolutely carries a demand and duty: you must speak out, to the best of your ability, and shake the spiritual tree, and shine your headlights into the eyes of the complacent. You must let that radical realization rumble through your veins and rattle those around you.
Alas, if you fail to do so, you are betraying your own authent-
icity. You are hiding your true estate. You don't want to upset others because you don't want to upset yourself. You are acting in bad faith, the taste of a bad infinity.
Because, you see, the alarming fact is that any realization of depth carries a terrible burden: those who are allowed to see are simultaneously saddled with the obligation to communicate that vision in no uncertain terms: that is the bargain. You were allowed to see the truth under the agreement that you would communicate it to others (that is the ultimate meaning of the bodhisattva vow). And therefore, if you have seen, you simply must speak out. Speak out with compassion, or speak out with angry wisdom, or speak out with skillful means, but speak out you must.
And this is truly a terrible burden, a horrible burden, because in any case there is no room for timidity. The fact that
you might be wrong is simply no excuse: You might be right in your communication, and you might be wrong, but
that doesn’t matter. What does matter, as Kierkegaard so rudely reminded us, is that only by investing and speaking
your vision with passion, can the truth, one way or another, finally penetrate the reluctance of the world. If you are
right, or if you are wrong, it is only your passion that will force either to be discovered. It is your duty to promote that
discovery – either way – and therefore it is your duty to speak your truth with whatever passion and courage
you can find in your heart. You must shout, in whatever way you can.

Conclusion

There is a strange and horrible thing about one's daemon: When honored and acted upon, it is indeed one's guiding spirit; those who bear a god within bring genius to their work. When, however, one's daemon is heard but unheeded,
it is said that the daemon becomes a demon, or evil spirit – divine energy and talent degenerates into self-destruc-
tive activity. ⚡ Ken Wilber (*1949) US American transpersonal philosopher, consciousness researcher, thought leader of the 3rd millennium, developer of Integral Theory, author, Grace and Grit.

⚡ Wilber's defense regarding the notion of cults

Examine any major historical phenomenon, and you will find it is cultic: headed by a Hero surrounded by devotees [...]
➤ Politics is cultic;
➤ religion is cultic;
➤ philosophy is cultic;
➤ even science is cultic –
and cults, in the broadest sense, simply represent groups of those who acknowledge and try to follow in the steps of

Wilber weighing guru's humanness ⇔ guru's perfection:

See article: Face to Face. Confronting the Guru-Disciple Relationship, presented by the magazine Gnosis, Ihla F. Nation, spring 1996

A good master might indeed be fully enlightened and divine, but he or she is also human. [...] The Perfect Master cannot manifest worldly perfection until the huma-
nity in which he or she is grounded – indeed, all manifestation – has evolved to its own highest and perfect estate. Until that time, perfection lies only in conscious transcendence, not in concrete manifestation, so beware the concretely 'perfect' master.

It is vision-logic with its centauric/ planetary worldview that, in my opinion, holds the only hope for the integration
of the biosphere and noosphere, the supranational organization of planetary consciousness, the genuine recognition
of ecological balance, the unrestrained and unforced forms of global discourse, the nondominating and noncoercive
forms of federated states, the unrestrained flow of worldwide communicative exchange, the production of genuine
world citizens, and the enculturation of female agency (i.e. the integration of male and female in both the noosphere
and biosphere) – all of which, in my opinion, is nevertheless simply the platform for the truly interesting forms of hi-
gher and transpersonal states of consciousness lying yet in our collective future – if there is one.

Within levels, heterarchy – between levels, holarchy

Spirit is the suchness, the isness, the essence of each and every thing that exists. [...]
Paradox is simply the way nonduality looks to the mental level. Spirit itself is not paradoxical; strictly speaking, it is not characterizable at all. [...]
Hierarchy is illusion. There are levels of illusion, not levels of reality. [...]
You go from unconscious Hell to conscious Hell, and being conscious of Hell, of samsara, of lacerating existence,
is what makes growing up – and being an adult – such a nightmare of misery and alienation. [...]
Development is not regression in service of ego, but evolution in transcendence of ego.

Integral philosophy

Integral philosophy cannot replace any of the other modes of functions of knowing – it cannot replace empirical science, or contemplative meditation, or even the other mental modes, from literature to poetry to history to psychoanalysis to mathematics to linguistics. But integral philosophy is there, at the very heart of the mental world, coordinating and elucidating all of these modes of knowing, dimensions of value, levels of being. Integral philosophy itself is of the mental domain, and cannot by itself, with its mental devices alone, step beyond that sphere. But it firmly acknow-
ledges the role of contemplation in generating data, and it takes that data into account in its own coordinating and elucidating activities. If it does not itself deliver meditative data, it firmly acknowledges the existence and impor-
tance of that data. It is mandalic reason at its finest and most encompassing. It knows the difference between re-
lative truth, which it can divulge, and absolute truth, for which it must yield to the eye of contemplation.

tions, Boulder, Colorado, 1998, 3rd subedition 11. December 2001

To understand the whole, it is necessary to understand the parts. To understand the parts, it is necessary to under-
stand the whole. Such is the circle of understanding. We move from part to whole and back again, and in that dan-
ce of comprehension, in that amazing circle of understanding, we come alive to meaning, to value, and to vision:
the very circle of understanding guides our way, weaving together the pieces, healing the fractures, mending the
torn and tortured fragments, lighting the way ahead – this extraordinary movement from part to whole and back
again, with healing the hallmark of each and every step, and grace the tender reward.

The crucial error of the Romantic view

The Romantic view is that the infant starts out in a state of unconscious Heaven. [...] [T]he infant self is actually one with the dynamic Ground of Being – but in an unconscious (or "un-self-conscious") fashion. Thus, unconscious Heaven – blissful, wonderful, mystical, the paradisiacal state out of which ist will soon fall, and to which it will always long to return. [...]
[S]ometime in the first few years of life, the self differentiates from the environment, the union with the dynamic Ground is lost, subject and object are separated, and the self moves from unconscious Heaven into conscious Hell – the world of egoic alienation, repression, terror, tragedy.
But, the happy account continues, the self can make a type of U-turn in development, sweep back to the prior infantile, union state, re-unite with the great Ground of Being, only now in a fully conscious and self-actualized way, and thus find conscious Heaven. ⚡ Ken Wilber, The Eye of Spirit.

Authentic spirituality:

Transformative spirituality, authentic spirituality is revolutionary.
It does not legitimate the world, it breaks the world;
it does not console the world, it shatters it.
And it does not render the self content, it renders it undone.

You cannot look for the Spirit, for it is doing the looking. You cannot see this Spirit, for it is doing the seeing. You
cannot find this Spirit, for it is doing the finding.

Dominator hierarchies ⇔ growth hierarchies

Whereas dominator hierarchies are the actualization / means of oppression, actualization hierarchies are the means of growth. It is the growth hierarchies that bring together previously isolated and fragmented elements.
➤ Isolated atoms are brought together into molecules,
➤ isolated molecules are brought together into cells;
➤ isolated cells into organisms; organisms into ecosystems;
➤ ecosystems into biosphere, and so on.

In short,
➤ growth hierarchies convert heaps into wholes,
➤ fragments into integration, alienation into cooperation.

Integral Politics

But now global systems and integral meshworks are evolving out of corporate states and value communities. These interdependent systems require governance capable of integrating (not dominating) nations and communities over the entire spiral of interior and exterior development. What the world needs now is the first genuinely second-tier [i.e., in-
tegral, holistic] form of political philosophy and governance. I believe, of course, that it will be an all-quadrant,
all-level political theory and practice, deeply integral in its structures and patterns. This will in no way replace the
US Constitution (or that of any other nation), but will simply situate it in global meshworks that facilitate mutual
unfolding and enhancement – an integral and holonic politics.
The question remains: exactly how will this be conceived, understood, embraced and practiced? What precise de-
tails, what actual specifics, where and how and when? This is the great and exhilirating call of global politics at the
millenium. We are awaiting the new global Founding Fathers and Mothers who will frame an integral system
of governance that will call us to our more encompassing future, that will act as a gentle pacer of transformation
for the entire spiral of human development, honoring each and every wave as it unfolds, yet kindly inviting each and
all to even greater depth. ⚡ Ken Wilber (*1949) US American transpersonal philosopher, consciousness researcher, thought leader of the 3rd millennium, A Theory of Everything.

Tipping Point:

Critical mass for Integral will hit at ~2021.

Some developmentalists feel that within about ten years [2021] we'll have about 10% of the population at Integral. Now that would be extraordinary because what happens when the leading edge of the population reaches 10% there is a tipping point of massive change that goes through the culture. […] Even though only 10% of the population is let's say at Orange, the Age of Enlightenment, it had a profound effect on the whole culture.
1. As soon as 10% of the population hit [the] Orange [stage] we got rid of slavery. We had the rise of feminism.
  We had the rise of representative democracies. The Constitution of the United States is essentially an Orange document. […]
2. 1959 2% of the population was Green. 1969 well over 10% of was Green. And by 1979 over 20% was Green. And the values of Green started to permeate the entire culture.
3. Now we're at a point where with approximately 5% of the population are at Integral we're waiting for that next
  5% so that we have about 10% of the population at Integral. And when that happens we are going to see a tipping point. And we are going to see integral values permeate this culture.

Tipping Point of Integral consciousness:

On reaching the fabled tipping point of 10% of the population

Historically, major levels of development have been separated by hundreds to thousands of years, and taken that long to emerge.
As for Integral consciousness, remember that
- it’s only been 40 years since the previous stage, the green [worldcentric] pluralistic postmodern stage, emerged. Forty years. […]
- The stage prior to the pluralistic took 400 years earlier [Orange: Worldcentric, rational stage], and
- the one before that, 4000. [Amber/blue: Sociocentric, mythic stage]

By contrast, the 40 years from the pluralistic [Green] to beginning Integral [Teal: Worldcentric to "cosmocentric," integral stage] is a lightning fast blink in evolutionary time. […]
Many adults, in fact, will never move to the pluralistic stage. […] That's why it's so important for those of us who are fortunate enough to find themselves at an Integral stage, to come together and pool our hearts, minds, souls,
and talents, to spread the word about this new and remarkable emergence. Gathering together into organiza-
tions, salons, practice groups, discussion groups, professional organizations – from the miracle of our own Integral
We we spread the word, by thought, by deed, by presence, by example. We shout it from our minds and radiate it
from our hearts, and thus does the word spread.
But we can't forget the transformation itself as a difficult and laborious process. It does take time. Twenty years ago
the percentage of the population at Second Tier Integral was about 2%, today it's close to 5%. […] Your love of Inte-
gral is lubricating the spiral of development allowing it to move forward. […] Keep that fire alive. […] I believe there
is every chance that within a mere decade or two that 5% will reach 10%. A tipping point will kick in permeating
the culture at large with integral values and the world, quite literally, will never be the same.

Merging GROWING UP with WAKING UP

Structured Western approach integrating the meditative Eastern approach

It's really catastrophic [that there is no system on Earth that is aware of both growing up and waking up].
- On the one hand we have [Eastern] structures that determine how we grow up, and they know nothing about how we wake up.
- And the others [the Western ones] that deal with how we wake up know nothing about how we grow up.
- They can produce enlightened masters, that are homophobic, in favor of war, and patriarchal sexists.
- And we can produce people that are worldcentric, global, loving of all humanity and don't have a clue

5% of the West's population at the "integral stage" – status 2016

The integral stage, as today's leading edge of human evolution – and which pushes for unifying, integrating, systemic, cross-paradigmatic, trans-disciplinary, all inclusive metatheories and practices in everything it touches – is still relatively rare:
- only around 5% of the West's population is at that [integral] stage – with
- around 20% at a pluralistic postmodern multicultural stage,
- around 30% at a modern rational stage, and
- around 40% (with some estimates, we saw, giving up to 60 percent) at a mythic-literal conventional religious stage –

and the point is, a genuine Waking Up spiritual experience can and does occur at any one of those stages, but it
will be interpreted according to the worldview of the Growing-Up stage that has the experience.

Zitate von anderen Quellen über Ken Wilbers Philosophie

In seinem Buch Das Atman-Projekt (1991) beschreibt Ken Wilber ein noch tieferes transpersonales Niveau einer Unzufriedenheit. Es ist die Vorstellung, dass unsere wahre höchste Identität göttlich ist. Und solange wir uns mit dem Körper-Ego identifizieren, leben wir weit unter unserem kosmischen Status. Wenn wir also versuchen, uns in der materiellen Welt selbst zu verwirklichen, können wir einfach nie genug bekommen.

Interlacing of green and orange meme

The Green meme tends to take credit for developments of the rational or orange worldview: U.S. Constitution, abolition of slavery, and the emancipation of women. The changes happened before significant appearance of green. Lew Howard, US American retired nuclear reactor engineer, author, Introducing Ken Wilber. Concepts for an Evolving World, S. 164, AuthorHouse,
17. May 2005

Ken Wilber, Eye to Eye, 1983: "The underlying impulse that we are going to change the world is archaic and narcis-
sistic. The stance that we have the only way or the best way is arrogant and narcissistic. If you feel that you have the best or
only way that the poor ignorant folks must rise up to, you are arrogant and narcissistic."
- Ken Wilber, June 2006 [Summarily paraphrased]: "We have the best way, we are in the elite 2%, we are above
  the herd, we will change the world."
Jim Chamberlain's conclusion: "The herd mentality that Wilber should concern himself with is the herd mentality
he encourages in his young followers, the groupthink, the in-group versus out-group dynamic, the loading of the
language with jargon and psychobabble, the arrogance, narcissism, and grandiosity."

Jim Chamberlain, June 2006

Inasmuch as everything in the universe is connected with everything else⁴ it isn't surprising that one of the primary objectives of this study – a map of the energy fields of consciousness – would correlate with and be corroborated
by all other avenues of investigation, uniting the diversity of human experience and its expressions in an all-encom-
passing paradigm.[*] Such an insight can bypass the artificial dichotomy between subject and object, transcending
the limited viewpoint that creates the illusions of duality.
⚡ Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power ⇔ Force, chapter 1, S. 44, Hay House,
February 2002
- [*] As Ken Wilber has pointed out, any theory of reality must include and coincide with the perennial philosophy and an ontological order of being:
  1. matter
  2. biology
  3. psychology
  4. subte / saintly
  5. sage
  6. ultimate (beyond consciousness)
This is discussed in Wilber's The Holographic Paradigm and Other Paradoxes, S. 159, Shambhala Publications, Boulder, Colorado, 12. September 1982

⚡ Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, "Notes", S. 302, Hay House, February 2002

[David R.] Hawkins’ map of consciousness, along with the use of this methodology, allows us to determine the relative value of any frame of reference. Higher levels of energy, or states of consciousness, can be viewed as providing one with a greater context, or less of a restrictive boundary on how self and life are perceived. It can also be viewed as describing the degree to which our perception is coherent with the reality of our lived experience. It describes the degree to which our perception is bounded by the constructed images of thought. The lower the calibration, the thicker the layers of these images are, and the more they disconnect us from the perception of our immediate lived experience. At the same time, each level of consciousness has a domain of validity, where the views held tell us something about life as we experience it at that level. This gives validity to all perspectives, but not in an equal manner that would send us into a kind of relativism, or a "flatlander" perspective as Ken Wilber calls it. Problems can be seen to arise when any given perspective tries to stipulate that it alone determines the validity of other perspectives. Wilber (1997) describes a four quadrant model of consciousness, and in talking about the need for correlating the relations between approaches states that this process is "in no way trying to reduce any to the others" (pg. 88).⁵ The ability to associate these frames of reference with a numerical scale allows us to empirically assess various concepts of identity, especially as they relate to our paradigmatic assumptions about reality as a whole, and consciousness in particular. […]
Wilber lists twelve […] schools of thought, and the calibrations that follow are based upon Wilber’s descriptions:
- LoC 655 – Eastern and contemplative traditions
- LoC 640 – Subtle energies research
- LoC 575 – Quantum consciousness
- LoC 540 – Nonordinary states of consciousness
- LoC 535 – Individual psychotherapy
- LoC 520 – Psychosomatic medicine
- LoC 490 – Cognitive science
- LoC 485 – Social psychology
- LoC 485 – Developmental psychology
- LoC 480 – Introspectionism
- LoC 440 – Neuropsychology
- LoC 420 – Clinical psychiatry

[…] The ones that calibrate lower tend to deal more with the constructed images of self and the physical embodiment, while perspectives calibrating higher tend to deal more directly with the less material aspects of our being.

"Get out, you goddamn obnoxious bitch!"
"Get out yourself!"

impulses as transegoic]. I am very fond of these guys, incidentally. They are some of my very dear friends.

Personal avowals

The way I see it, my critique and that of others has left so little of Wilber's integral synthesis standing that he has to devise ways to avoid responding to them in order to fool his followers, and probably himself, into thinking that his system
is the best integration of contemporary knowledge available. Wilber's techniques of avoidance are long and getting
longer. [...]
My conclusion is that the emperor has few clothes. The cowboy is circling the wagons to better defend an untenable
position. He's been exposed and can't confront it nor admit it, and so he avoids critical engagement through an array
of diversions. Blog article Intellectual Tragedy: A Reply To Ken Wilber's "WHAT WE ARE, THAT WE SEE", presented by the online publication integralworld.net, Jeff Meyerhoff, M.A., L.S.W., US American social worker, integral theorist, radio host, author, 2006

Wilber's cult for the spiritually disillusioned creative class

I have met brilliant people. In Wilber, I have never met a more brilliant-sounding person. I have also never met a more self-absorbed person. […] I used to respect him [Wilber]. I used to respect his work. I no longer recommend Wilber to anyone. I still think that he has deep insight to offer. I am officially interested in a "post-Wilber integral", or even a "non-Wilber integral".
I can't stress enough, nothing was ever clarified [in my 16 months at Integral Institute/integral university], and if anything ever approached being clarified about what exactly we were doing, it quickly evaporated. It was rather a mess, and Wil-
ber's neurotic (with regular fits of anger), often absent, leadership style was in my view largely to blame, as well as the entire quixotic affair. I've written about the mess before, and how in my estimation, the integral university project was infected severely with philosophical groupthink, due to undisputed reverence for Wilber, near universal agree-
ment about the validity of his speculations, and little to no actual debate where disagreements on first principles were
given fair scrutiny.
I decided to resign. I left, and I took all my work with me. After rounds of angry insults from him directed at, first, myself
and then my wife (I maintain I never once reciprocated in any way; I was always respectful to him, as is to be expected),
Wilber laughably attempted to claim co-ownership of my papers, and thus meaning I would have to ask permission to
use them. From him! I consulted with a lawyer, and that was settled quickly, via a strongly worded letter from my lawyer
detailing the basics of applicable copyright law in this country.
It also further cemented by belief that Wilber is prone to the hyberbole that substitutes hubristic, rhetorical flourish for
real knowledge, in this case, of common law. And if he is that ignorant about common law, all the while feigning know-
ledge of it, what else is he in practice ignorant of?
[T]he real effort of Wilber became clear. He wanted to be a trickster figure that messes with people's minds, to trick
people to enlightenment. The Wilber school […] is
⚑ the school of hubris,
⚑ of inflated emphasis on psychology as the alpha/omega,
⚑ of occasional insight,
⚑ of maddening long-windedness,
⚑ of superficial scholarship,
⚑ of the cult for the spiritually disillusioned creative class. […]
[H]e is not what I had hoped, a true warrior for the humanities. He advertises himself as one of "America's preeminent
philosophers". That advertising is false.
Real scholarship, the only kind that stands a chance of restoring the Humanities in popular imagination, is not done
by forming a Hollywood cult, or pretending to rationalize disgusting and irrelevant behavior such as Wilber's.

Unsettling account

I wrote in a controversial thread a long time back [1/21/2004] about visiting Ken's house with a group of students and
being surprised by his pantomimed masturbation and his laughing but quite frequent requests for blowjobs from
the [female] audience. I laughed with everyone else, but at the back of my mind, I realized I was disturbed and dis-
appointed by it, not because I don't think a guy should enjoy a blowjob!, but because it just seemed so "in your face"
and odd and definitely controversial for someone who is seeking to move more into the public light, where so much
controversy surrounds "gurus" and spiritual teachers already. But other people I talked to weren't bothered by it at
all, so maybe he just gauged his audience correctly, realized that the conservative schmucks were few and far bet-
ween, and decided to have fun. Bruce Alderman [Balder], posted in the [dissolved] Integral Naked forum 2. November 2004,

Recommendation / Caveat

Wilber is best taken in very small doses and extremely lightly. [B]oth are entirely against the grain of his obsession
for self-promotion (never to be underestimated), and his team of marketeers who push his stuff like crack for the disillu-
sioned creative class. His "integralnaked" website was consciously marketed to early 20s men; it's early communica-
tions were soft porn. Essay by Matthew Dallman, US American trained musician, philosopher, former integral theorist, author,

Wilberian integralism is "a nicely-sealed bubble."

Wilber’s story is a cautionary tale. His intellectual understanding was immense, as much as I’ve ever come across in a single person. […] [U]ltimately, he was done in by his pride, his need for control and, well, ironically his ego. […]
With an onslaught of problems in the world crying out for an integral perspective and solution – terrorism, the Iraq War, climate change, world hunger, financial crises. The silence coming from the Integral crowd was deafening. Major global and social issues were often only referred to in passing as descriptors for a certain level of consciousness development with the overarching implication being that "they" are not as highly developed as "we" are. […]
For a philosophy based on including and integrating as much as possible, its followers sure expressed it by forming a nicely-sealed bubble around themselves. […]

Despite Wilber's massive understanding of human psy-
chology and consciousness, he never seemed to shake
this dogma [that enlightened awareness could develop
someone into a flawless individual, an immutable autho-
rity]. It followed Wilber through his career and eventually
manifested itself in himself. When he was younger, he
notoriously followed

Adi Da, a spiritual leader who was later found to be sexually abusing female followers. Yet he stood by him [for 20 years].

Later in his career, he also aligned with

Andrew Cohen, a spiritual leader who was found to be physically and emotionally abusing his fol-
lowers. And again, he stood by him.

Why? Because Wilber maintained they had genuinely reached the farthest limits of human awareness and understanding.

Categories yet to be identified by mental health professionals and forensic psychiatrists:
Serial enabling of predatory power holders / Devotional enabling

(↓)

Ken Wilber's PR machine enabled systematic guru abuse.

[E]ach of the gurus endorsed by Ken Wilber, including Gafni, followed a pattern ... [of systematic abuse perpetrated by Ken's friends and enabled by Ken's PR machine]. The problem is,
1. it isn't licensed to be a guru. It's in a legal grey zone.
2. in Ken Wilber's Integral world, abuse and cruelty have been normalized and rationalized as being accelerated to human spiritual/evolutionary development.

Reflexions on reading the One Taste diaries, 1999

Wilber glamorizes his life. […] [refering] to all the conversations and encounters he has with scathing, brilliant people. Kenny makes it seem that being spiritual means becoming a glamorous person, desirable, on the go, hip, with life full of other glamorous brilliant people.
A book like this would be thrilling to a bright, isolated teenager or young person, wanting to get a sense of belonging.
Ken gives you a feeling that you are about to join an elite club, if you get involved with his public persona.
Kenny makes himself a point of connection, and by extension, his theories, too. People can't stand to apply actual
critical thinking to Kennys theories because to do that would dissolve not just the theory but the mystique of the
public persona, the myth of Ken himself. […]
Ken has found a way to indulge anger and make it seem compatible with his allegation of some exalted state of development. He does it vicariously by having associated with a series of people who have abused power and by periodically engaging in outbursts such as the Wyatt Earpy episode.

Mutual spiritual narcissism

And as can be found in Wilber's own writings: to follow a narcissistic, charismatic teacher for a long time, we have to be unaware of our own narcissim. By following what we believe is great we desire to be part of the greatness ourselves. Secondary narcissim. […]
I see Ken Wilber overcoming his emotional shortcomings, returning to what he is good at and, eventually, writing an excellent book on spiritual narcissism which he will then be able to understand and explain better than anyone.

Spiral Dynamics – Correlation and terminology according to Wilber

Spiral Dynamics overview – Values

Stage	First Tier	Focus	Stage	Second Tier	Focus
1.	MAGENTA	Egocentric, magical	6.	TEAL	Worldcentric to "cosmocentric", integral
2.	RED	Sociocentric, egoic	7.	TURQUOISE	Cosmocentric, integral
3.	AMBER	Sociocentric, mythic	8.
4.	ORANGE	Worldcentric, rational	9.
5.	GREEN	Worldcentric, pluralistic	10.

Spiral Dynamics descriptions

Stage Colour	Focus	Timeline Beginning	Legend
1. MAGENTA First Tier	Egocentric, Magical	50,000 years ago	The Magenta Altitude tends to be the home of egocentric drives, a magical worldview, and impulsiveness. It is expressed through magic/animism, kin-spirits, and such. Young children primarily operate with a magenta worldview. Magenta in any line of development is fundamental, or "square one" for any and all new tasks. Magenta emotions and cognition can be seen driving such cultural phenomena as superhero-themed comic books or movies.
2. RED First Tier	Sociocentric, Egoic	10,000 years ago	The Red Altitude is the marker of egocentric drives based on power, where "might makes right," where aggression rules, and where there is a limited capacity to take the role of an "other." Red impulses are classically seen in grade school and early high school, where bullying, teasing, and the like are the norm. Red motivations can be seen culturally in Ultimate Fighting contests, which have no fixed rules (fixed rules come into being at the next Altitude, Amber), teenage rebellion and the movies that cater to it (The Fast and the Furious), gang dynamics (where the stronger rule the weaker), and the like.
3. AMBER First Tier	Sociocentric, Mythic	5,000 years ago	The Amber Altitude indicates a worldview that is traditionalist and mythic in nature. Mythic worldviews are almost always held as absolute (this stage of development is often called absolutistic). Instead of "might makes right," amber ethics are more oriented to the group, but one that extends only to "my" group. Grade school and high school kids usually exhibit amber motivations to "fit in." Amber ethics help to control the impulsiveness and narcissism of red. Culturally, amber worldviews can be seen in fundamentalism (my God is right no matter what); extreme patriotism (my country is right no matter what); and ethnocentrism (my people are right no matter what).
4. ORANGE First Tier	Worldcentric, Rational	500 years ago	The Orange Altitude began during the period known as the European age of enlightenment. In an orange worldview, the individual begins to move away from the amber conformity that reifies the views of one's religion, nation, or tribe. The orange worldview often begins to emerge in late high school, college, or adulthood. Culturally, the orange worldview realizes that "truth is not delivered; it is discovered," spurring the great advances of science and formal rationality. Orange ethics begin to embrace all people, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...." '⚡' Ayn Rand's Objectivism, the US Bill of Rights, and many of the laws written to protect individual freedom all flow from an orange worldview.
5. GREEN First Tier	Worldcentric, Pluralistic	150 years ago Blooming in the 1960s	The Green Altitude and worldviews are marked by pluralism, or the ability to see that there are multiple ways of seeing reality. If orange sees universal truths ("All men are created equal"), green sees multiple universal truths – different universals for different cultures. Green ethics continue, and radically broaden, the movement to embrace all people. A green statement might read, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal, regardless of race, gender, class [...]." Green ethics have given birth to the civil rights, feminist, and gay rights movements, as well as environmentalism. The green worldview's multiple perspectives give it room for greater compassion, idealism, and involvement, in its healthy form. Such qualities are seen by organizations such as the Sierra Club, Amnesty International, Union of Concerned Scientists, and Doctors Without Borders. In its unhealthy form green worldviews can lead to extreme relativism, where all beliefs are seen as relative and equally true, which can in turn lead to the nihilism, narcissism, irony, and meaninglessness exhibited by many of today's intellectuals, academics, and trend-setters [...] not to mention another "lost" generation of students.

6. TEAL Second Tier	Worldcentric to "cosmocentric," Integral	1960s	The Teal Altitude marks the beginning of an integral worldview, where pluralism and relativism are transcended and included into a more systematic whole. The transition from green to teal is also known as the transition from "1st-tier" values to "2nd-tier" values, the most immediate difference being the fact that each "1st-tier" value thinks it is the only truly correct value, while "2nd-tier" values recognize the importance of all preceding stages of development. Thus, the teal worldview honors the insights of the green worldview, but places it into a larger context that allows for healthy hierarchies, and healthy value distinctions. Perhaps most important, a teal worldview begins to see the process of development itself, acknowledging that each one of the previous stages (magenta through green) has an important role to play in the human experience. Teal consciousness sees that each of the previous stages reveals an important truth, and pulls them all together and integrates them without trying to change them to "be more like me," and without resorting to extreme cultural relativism ("all are equal"). Teal worldviews do more than just see all points of view (that’s a green worldview) – it can see and honor them, but also critically evaluate them.
7. TURQUOISE Second Tier	Cosmocentric, Integral		Turquoise is a mature integral view, one that sees not only healthy hierarchy but also the various quadrants of human knowledge, expression, and inquiry (at the minimum: I, we, and it). While teal worldviews tend to be secular, turquoise is the first to begin to integrate Spirit as a living force in the world (manifested through any or all of the 3 Faces of God: "I" – the "No self" or "witness" of Buddhism; "we/thou" – the "great other" of Christianity, Judaism, Hindusm, Islam, etc.; or "it" – the "Web of Life" seen in Taoism, Pantheism, etc.). In this level self-interest is being sacrificed to an interconnected global system beginning to form.

Five types of clusterings in companies and society – David Logan

Tribal Clustering in companies and societies

The rankist pride-shame culture comprises roughly 76% of the world's population.

Center of gravity Stage	Tribe characteristics	Catch phrase	Focus Interest	Key question	% Distribution company / society	Effecting the whole
Stage 1 ↓ Undermining	Survival mode – Shame and Guilt culture Gangs, Prisons – No values Despair, hostility, criminality	Life sucks!	Assets	What do I have?	2%	Energy drain ↓ Separation mode SURVIVAL
Stage 2 ↓ Ineffective	Apathetic victimhood – Addiction culture Passively resigned antagonistic Quietly sarcastic	My life sucks!	(Involuntary) Behavior	What will I do?	25%	Energy drain ↓ Separation mode SURVIVAL
Stage 3 ↓ Useful	Individual-centric Pride culture Lone Warriors Knowledge workers: Knowledge is power. Winning is personal, based on "my" values.	I'm great (and you're not)!	Achievements / goals	What do I want?	49%	Energy drain ↓ Separation mode SUCCESS

The 'Dignity for all' culture comprises roughly 24% of the world's population.

Center of gravity Stage	Tribe characteristics	Catch phrase	Focus Interest	Key question	% Distribution company / society	Effecting the whole
Stage 4 ↑ Important	Value oriented creative team Tribal Pride Big picture empathizing original workers: "We" are greater than "me." The bigger the foe, the more powerful the tribe.	We're great (and they're not)!	Values	What do we stand for?	22%	Supporting ↑ Integrative mode SERVICE
Stage 5 ↑ Vital	Dignity culture based on inalienable "resonant" human rights Innocent Wonderment Infinite potential of the group, global impact Not beating competitors	Life is great!	Noble cause³⁰	What do we live for?	2%	Triggering World change ↑ Unity mode TRANSFORMATION

A tribe/cluster is a group of 20-150 people. "Tribes" have more influence than teams, companies or CEOs in determining how much and what quality work gets done. The language used reveals the respective tribe.

Groups can't leap over a stage as they progress.
Culling out 'bad apples' is ineffective.
If the bottom 10% of performers are fired, the remaining group will invariably substitute their position.

Authentic leaders can move the group's center of gravity through language.

Leaders need to be able to talk all the levels so that you can touch every person in society. But you don't leave them where you found them. Tribes can only hear one level above and below where they are. [...] Leaders nudge people within their tribes to the next level.
David Logan, Ph.D. TribalLeadership.net (*1968) US American professor of management, USC faculty member, consultant, author

The greatest challenge we face is moving from stage 3 [pride] to stage 4 [courage].
David Logan, Ph.D. TribalLeadership.net (*1968) US American professor of management, USC faculty member, consultant, author

Comments on the hurdle between stages 3 ⇔ 4:

The challenge coincides with the threshold of integrity – crossed by mankind in 1987 according to researcher David R. Hawkins.
The challenge coincides with the threshold of ethics – crossed by mankind in 1999 according to time researchers Various step models
created by Ian Xel Lungold (1949-2005) US American time researcher and
Carl Johan Calleman, Ph.D., Swedish biologist, time researcher, author.
The new reality is no longer separate. H.H. the 14. Dalai Lama (2009)
Stage 3 corresponds to Knowledge workers predominant in the waning Information Age.
Stage 4 corresponds to Big picture creators and empathizers coming afore in the rising Conceptual Age. Daniel Pink

According to Ken Wilber 25% of the population are able to cognitively understand integral approaches,
however, only 2% are able to incorporate and to sustain them.

Comment: This coincides roughly with the statistical numbers David Logan found in his 10 year long study on tribes.
[22% – Stage 4; 2% – Stage 5]

Questioning for people at stage 2 – "What ticks you off?"
Questioning for people at stage 3 – "What are you proud of?" plus 3-5 open-ended questions.
Questioning for people at stage 4 – "For the sake of what?" (to establish a noble cause)

What we are doing will always strongly relate to about less than 2% [Yellow/turquoise meme] of the population. […] Cognitively about 25% of the population [Green meme] will understand [integral politics] and often feel attracted to it. But we need people that are going to help us with that 2%.

Now we're at a point where with approximately 5% of the population are at Integral we're waiting for that next 5% so that we have about 10% of the population at Integral. Some developmentalists feel that within about ten years [2021] we'll have about 10% of the population at Integral. Now that would be extraordinary because what happens when the leading edge of the population reaches 10% is there is a tipping point of massive change that goes through the culture. We are going to see integral values permeate this culture.

Note: 50,000 people were essential to bring about the European Renaissance in the 14th to the 17th centuries.

Historically, major levels of development have been separated by hundreds to thousands of years, and taken that long to emerge. As for Integral consciousness, remember that

it’s only been 40 years since the previous stage, the green pluralistic postmodern stage, emerged. Forty years.
The stage prior to the pluralistic lasted 400 years earlier, and
the one before that, 4000 years.

By contrast, the 40 years from the pluralistic [Green] to beginning Integral [Teal] is a lightning fast blink in evolutionary time.
That’s why it’s so important for those of us who are fortunate enough to find themselves at an Integral stage, to come together and pool our hearts, minds, souls, and talents, to spread the word about this new and remarkable emergence.

Paradoxical insights by Don Beck – Spiral Dynamics resulting in stratified democracy
"We are moving forwards to the past and backwards to the future – in one generation." Source unknown

"It's ironic that in a time when we are so interconnected we are equally fragmented. It's like we've gone back to the future and forward to the past. It's like every human experience that has ever been on the planet in a long psychological asset has reappeared in real time – now, mainly in the place of CNN and in high missions. [...] The nation's planners don't have a clue about the deeper dynamics that are causing the phenomena that they are trying to describe. The issues in South Africa were never about race, the issues in the Middle East are not about religion. It's not about Arab, it's not about Islam. They are something entirely different. It's not about being better, it's about being different. It's about memes. The gap between the cultures is a memetic gap."

Mythos des Gegebenen: Wer nicht imstande ist, die kosmische Adresse anzugeben, aus der er Aussagen über "Realität" oder "Wahrheit" macht, unterliegt dem Mythos des Gegebenen. Wer unfähig ist, die Relativität seiner Aussagen zu sehen (relativ zu einer bestimmten Perspektive bzw. kosmischen Adresse), der denkt metaphysisch.

Deconstructing Wilber protege-buddy-handler Marc Gafni

Article The New Sabbateans 'New Age' rabbis exhibits behavior reminiscent of Shabbatai Zevi who believed that spiritual elevation released him from the mitzvot, and particularly from the sexual prohibitions., presented by the Israelian newspaper Hareetz, Yair Sheleg, 31. May 2006

Ohad Ezrahi [Marc Gafni’s friend and co-author] speaks explicitly about Shabbatai Zevi and his follower Yaacov Frank as a model. But apparently the others are also persuaded to follow this course, even without explicitly championing it. In truth, all those who ignore moral distortion in the name of spiritual exaltation are active partners in this worldview.
