What Does Integrally Informed Mean?

Hi,

Welcome to my new blog. It is Integrally Informed. This means that views expressed here are based on insights derived from the Integral Theory of Ken Wilber, and the teachings of others, most notably Steve McIntosh.

I direct you to Ken Wilber's many books, suggesting you begin with The Integral Vision (2007) which is an introduction to his theory. Also, as background, read Steve McIntosh's Integral Consciousness, and look to Wikipedia for relevant articles.

The Integral Model postulates five factors that determine all phenomena: lines of development, states of consciousness, quadrants, types, and levels (also called stages and sometimes memes) of development. With those five factors one can understand much more about the world, including how two people can simultaneously be "right" while holding seemingly opposite views.

I lead a monthly Integral Salon as well as regular workshops using the Integral model. The purpose of this blog is to publish some of my insights where they may be able to assist others in their work, understanding, and world-view.

May it be so!

Lalia
