"SIMPLY TOO MUCH..."



THE INTEGRAL MOVEMENT IN SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT - Alan Kazlev

Alan Kazlev continues his Integral Esotericism series, to set the integral movement in 
perspective:

"Central to the Wilberian and much of the post-Wilberian paradigm is the idea of a 
series of historical stages; premodern to modern to postmodern to Integral.
And although this understanding is, I believe, too simplistically linear to represent 
the complete truth, there is still a seed of truth in what is being said here. 
Historically and collectively, there does seem to be a transition in the non-religious 
aspect of the Western collective worldview from pre-secular to secular to a current 
broader movement."

INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS - BALD AMBITION CHAPTER 2 - Jeff Meyerhoff

"Of all the areas of knowledge that Wilber explores he is most knowledgeable about 
individual consciousness. An evolution in his thinking has made his theory of 
consciousness the most usefully descriptive part of his entire integral synthesis. 
This is due to his extensive research in this area, his use of the current scholarship, 
and his responding to the criticism his theory of consciousness has received. 
This improvement in his theory comes with a cost, however, because the evolution 
in his thinking has been motivated by an unacknowledged contradiction. This 
contradiction is one manifestation of a larger contradiction in Wilber's thinking 
that he is trying to reconcile. Here it appears as a tension between a unified, 
goal-directed, developmental model and a diverse, semi-independent model that 
“has no overall linear sequence whatsoever.”[1] The chapter consists of an 
overview of his model, an examination of the scholarship used to validate it, 
and an evaluation of its validity."
