Join Corey deVos for this fun, fascinating, and far-reaching exploration of one of the essential cornerstones of integral theory — holons, or the apparently endless series of “part/wholes” that fundamentally compose reality as we know it. Accompanied by music, imagery, and animation, this presentation will not only help you better understand what a holon actually is (and what it isn’t!) but also how this understanding can radically deepen your appreciation for the natural world, and for all of the other holonic intelligences that exist alongside us on this planet. This is the story of the universe itself. These holons give

This never-before published essay by Ken Wilber delves into the intricate dynamics of societal evolution, emphasizing the interplay between technological advancements, cultural worldviews, and governance systems. Through an integral lens, Wilber explores the potential for new and more authentic modes of being and consciousness to emerge, emphasizing the evolutionary Eros that drives social transformation. Wilber underscores the importance of the Lower-Right quadrant (techno-economic base) as a significant determinant of the average level of consciousness in the Lower Left (cultural beliefs and worldviews). Conversely, he also highlights that the cultural and collective consciousness in the Lower Left is essential to support

A comprehensive map that tracks the evolution of communications paradigms over history, how each determines the ways knowledge is generated, preserved, and distributed, and how each paradigm influences our perceptions, behavior, shared meaning, and modes of discourse. — Excited to share this – a very detailed Context Map I created that takes a careful look at the evolution of communication paradigms over history, and how each influences individual perception and behavior, as well as shared meaning and modes of discourse. https://app.contextdriven.ai/lens/65406df03d8e01bdbc424c40 The goal of this exploration is to gain a holistic view of the progression of human communication and its

Sex, Identity, Gender: Beyond Wokism and Trumpism Keith Martin-Smith and Corey deVos Full discussion here: https://integrallife.com/sex-identity-gender-beyond-wokism-and-trumpism/ Following Keith’s table-setting discussion of sex and gender last month, in this episode we push even further into the front lines of the culture war skirmishes that have become so plentiful over the last several years. Corey deVos joins Keith to discuss how our notions of sex, gender, and identity apply to some of the most contentious and pressing issues of our time — gender education in schools, men’s rights issues, the banning of drag shows, trans people participating in sports, the availability of

Pearl Jam: Restoring Idealism to Rock and Roll with Stone Gossard and Ken Wilber Every now and again, pop culture reinvents itself. Our collective tastes are born, destroyed, and reborn again, swinging like a massive pendulum from one aesthetic extreme to the next. As a new cultural niche becomes more and more popularized, fierce artistic independence eventually devolves into reckless overindulgence, and creative novelty slowly bleeds away until all that is left is a formulaic husk used to manufacture tomorrow’s next fads. It is usually at this point, when a particular scene becomes so over-saturated that it can no longer

Introducing Niggy Tardust, with Saul Williams and Ken Wilber https://integrallife.com/introducing-niggy-tardust The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust is a stunning collaboration between Saul and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Saul has always been known for his post-conventional approach to Hip Hop, and nowhere does this come through more than on this album. It is truly a trans-genre masterpiece, perfectly blending Saul’s powerful vocals with the industrial “wall of sound” orchestration that has come to define Nine Inch Nails. But even more impressive than Saul’s impulse to transcend genre is his ability to use art to transform and transcend
