#KEN WILBER ICOLORS GREEN SERIES#

The trans-personal stages consist of psychic and supernatural experiences (psychic and subtle stage), and of models of spiritual development from a variety of eastern religious traditions as interpreted by Wilber (subtle and causal stage).

The pre-personal and personal stages are taken from western structural stage theories, which are correlated with other theories.

The whole course of human development aims at restoring the primordial unity of human and transcendental consciousness. In Wilber's model, development starts with the separation of individual consciousness from a transcendental reality. Īccording to these early presentations, which rely strongly on perceived analogies between disparate theories ( Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga, stage theories of psychological development, and Gebser's theory of collective mutations of consciousness), human development follows a set course, from pre-personal infant development, to personal adult development, culminating in trans-personal spiritual development. In The Atman Project (1980), this spectrum was presented as a developmental model, akin to western structural stage theory, models of psychology development that describe human development as following a set course of stages of development. A synthetic metatheory 'classifies whole theories according to some overarching typology.' Wilber's metatheory started in the early 1970s, with the publication of The Spectrum of Consciousness (1977), synthesizing eastern religious traditions with western developmental psychology. Ken Wilber's 'Integral Theory' is a synthetic metatheory, a theory whose subject matter is theory itself, aiming to describe existing theory in a systematic way.

The Integral Institute currently publishes the peer-reviewed Journal of Integral Theory and Practice, and SUNY Press has published twelve books in the 'SUNY series in Integral Theory.' Nevertheless, Wilber's ideas have mainly attracted attention in specific subcultures, and have been mostly ignored in academia. Wilber's integral theory has been applied in a number of domains. In Wilber's later framework, the AQAL (All Quadrants All Levels) model, it is extended with a grid with four quadrants (interior-exterior, individual-collective), synthesizing various theories and models of individual psychological and spiritual development, of collective mutations of consciousness, and of levels or holons of neurological functioning and societal organisation, in a metatheory in which all academic disciplines and every form of knowledge and experience are supposed to fit together. This model is based on development stages as described in structural developmental stage theories various psychic and supernatural experiences and models of spiritual development. The basis is a 'spectrum of consciousness,' from archaic consciousness to ultimate spirit, presented as a developmental model. It attempts to place a wide diversity of theories and models into one single framework. Integral theory is a synthetic metatheory developed by Ken Wilber.
