WILBER WATCH BLOG: "AQAL Journal"

Why do we believe what we believe? Or, why do we believe what someone else believes? 
It would be very un-integral to leave out these interesting questions when considering 
Wilber's beliefs. Jeff Meyerhoff explores them in more detail in:

PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF WILBER'S BELIEFS - Jeff Meyerhoff

I have shown the many fundamental flaws in Wilber's theory of the Kosmos. If Wilber's 
theory is fundamentally problematic, this suggests that it is not the facts of the 
Kosmos that determine the character of his theory. If Wilber's theory of the Kosmos 
is not derived from the actual Kosmos, from where does it derive? Why does Wilber 
construct this particular theory? To answer these questions I will show the way in 
which Wilber's theory is derived from his psychology and life. As he says "the all-important 
question when trying to understand artifacts is: what level of consciousness . . . 
produced the artifact?"[1] Since I think less hierarchically than him, I will modify 
his question and ask: what kind of consciousness produced the artifact that is his system?
