In this class we explore the integral model in more depth & ask why it could be one of the most important

maps in order to orient us in the creation of human societies which are more sustainable.

There are many different perspectives in the world, many of them apparently

contradictory ...

Por primera vez en la historia

tenemos acceso a todas las culturas,

todos los conocimientos, todas las perspectivas de la

humanidad

For the first time in history we have access to all human cultures & their knowledge

All perspectives have something to contribute,

they may all contain some piece of the truth

Nobody is so intelligent as to be wrong 100% of the

time

Suppositions

It's not about finding the correct perspective

But about finding how all of these perspectives fit

Without eliminating any one, but putting each one in its place

4 Steps of the Scientific Method

• Experimentation

• Hypothesis (a model) > Theory

• Observation

• Prediction

"How can we collect all the essential elements of

each perspective & construct with this a map of human development?"

Ken Wilber asked himself:

Pattern - Spotting

We start with putting all perspectives on top of the table: sciences, spiritual traditions, philosophical

currents ...

then take a wider

perspective & look for any patterns

& we obtain a map that is a

perspective

of

perspectives

(meta-model)

Integral Operating System or

"AQAL"

(All Quadrants, All Lines, etc. - states, types,

levels)

What is it for?

Always remember:

The map is not the territory

every individual, every day, journeys through the great states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.

We have access to all states at any

Levels of development

The levels of development are stages on

the social, psychological

or organizational

evolution.

They are disposed in “holarchies”: Each level includes and transcends the previous ones

But! Watch out for the"pre-trans fallacy"!

All levels are necessary

HOLON: A term coined by Arthur Koestler.

In Integral Theory, a holon refers to a whole that is simultaneously part of

another whole, or “whole/part.”

Whole atoms are parts of whole molecules, which themselves are parts

of whole cells, and so on. There are individual holons and social holons.

Some examples oflevels of development

natural succession

Lines

Lines are "intelligences" or abilities that we develop to different levels

The Integral

Psychograph

The idea of the lines of development is inspired by Howard Gardner's theory of the Multiple

Intelligences

However, the RC model talks about a single type of intelligence that supports

us in everything

Are the two models compatible?

If we have more patterns in a line

than others, those prevent us from developing

this potential.

+ knowledge and experience also

are important

TypesTypes are present at any

level, state, or line.

IT'S A THINKING TOOL& one for being more effective we all have our "pet

quadrants!" & the tendency to look at the world from there (only or mostly)

well used ...it can OPEN OUR MINDS

Eg. analyzing death of fish ...

Cultural study & scale of values

Ecological & social evaluation

Conduct & physiological analysis

Psychological & phenomenological analysis

Emotions, feeling of identity, Beliefs Empirical, Chemical, Biological

Environmental Political

Educational Economic

FacilitatingFacilitating is directing the attention of a group toward forms of thinking or parts of the whole which are considered most useful to focus on in that moment ...

we can play with types

in order to unite a group, to classify& other functions ...

draw an imaginary map on the floor ...

classify people inorder to createmore fertile connections

Peace in the World

Being conscious that the different memes

"can't see each other" ...

if there is a 'memetic conflict'

>> send 'em home ..

>> communicate to each in their language

>> accelerate natural succession

Keep well in mind the different world-views in order to create
