Summary of Ken Wilber's Integral Psychology - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Great Nest of Being is the backbone of the perennial philosophy, and it would be a crucial ingredient of any integral psychology. It is the view that reality is made up of various levels of existence, ranging from matter to body to mind to soul to spirit. #2 The Great Nest is a hierarchy of levels of consciousness that exist in the universe.
The basic levels are the basic holons in the nest, and they are qualitatively distinct levels of organization that are arranged in a nested hierarchy of increasing holistic embrace. #3 The Great Nest is a multidimensional latticework of love, and it transcends and includes its juniors. Spirit is both the highest wave and the ever-present ground of all the waves, going beyond all and embracing all. #4 The Great Nest of Being and Knowing is the core of the perennial philosophy, and it is the part of the philosophy that has been found most enduring.
The evidence continues to mount in its favor: human beings have access to a richly textured rainbow of consciousness spanning subconscious to self-conscious to superconscious states.
