The first nation to abolish slavery was Haiti. If Ken doesn't consider Haiti at the time (1803) orange then he's wrong about the idea of that the abolishment of slavery only came online with Modern Rationalism, then it's clear that Ken suffers from neocolonial thinking. This another reason why every ethnic group should get their hands on this knowledge, not just white people.

The question I have as a young, "Integralist" is, "why not both?" Can't we have, "sound protections to prevent gun violence (exterior)" and, "kids that don't shoot other kids? The fallacy is, "it's this way or that way." Let's get together people yeah, yeah, yeah! #integrate

That it very helpful. Thank you

What are tge best books to read to gain an Integral understanding of masculinity and femininity?

Thomas Sowell - A Conflict of Visions

He got it all wrong

Only six minutes in and already I'm seeing this information as being very applicable to many of my own hang-ups and issues. This is very clearly explained by Wilber. Thank you so much. Blessing on your work, Ken Wilber!

TLDR: Integrating our shadow is essential for personal growth, but it must be done with care to avoid negative consequences, and understanding and addressing our shadow material can lead to growth and healing. 1. 00:00 🔍 Integrating our shadow is crucial for personal growth, but it must be done with care to avoid negative consequences. 1.1 Shadow refers to the aspects of our awareness that we have disowned, repressed, or denied, which are important parts of our own psyche that we are not acknowledging. 1.2 Differentiation, disidentification, and integration are necessary for moving to a higher level of development, but if not done properly, it can lead to fixation, addiction, dissociation, or avoidance. 2. 04:03 🧠 Splitting off parts of our consciousness can lead to dysfunction, but understanding and integrating our shadows can lead to growth and healing. 2.1 Addictions and allergies are the two primary dysfunctions that can occur at different levels and states, such as food, sex, power, and love. 2.2 Splitting off important aspects of our consciousness can lead to a halt in overall development. 2.3 The talk discusses different categories of upper left psychological shadow material and their suggested treatments, including shadow retroflexion and introduction, as well as shadows associated with states of consciousness. 3. 08:08 📝 Retroflection, redirecting anger towards oneself, can lead to depression, but can be overcome through transactional analysis and introspection of internalized parent and child tapes. 3.1 The paper presented a comparison between the structural models of gestalt therapy and transactional analysis, highlighting the concepts of retroflexion and the p a c ego. 3.2 Retroflection occurs when anger is redirected towards oneself instead of the intended target. 3.3 Depression is retroflected anger and can be overcome by turning that anger outward and getting sad back into mad through transactional analysis and introspection of internalized parent and child tapes. 4. 12:07 🧑‍🏫 Gestalt therapy and transactional analysis use different techniques to address negative thought patterns. 4.1 Gestalt therapy uses a tripartite structure to address the over dog, underdog, and adult state, while transactional analysis uses pac scripts to interrupt negative self-talk. 5. 13:47 🧑‍⚕ Fritz Perls cured neurosis in 15 minutes by having patients describe their problems in "it" terms and using an empty chair technique to convert anxiety from third to first person. 5.1 Fritz Perls was a genius in working with neurosis and could cure any neurosis in 15 minutes by having the person describe their problems in "it" terms. 5.2 A therapeutic technique involves converting anxiety from third person to second person to first person through dialogue with an empty chair. 6. 16:46 🧠 The three-two-one process is a key part of psychotherapy and shadow work, helping individuals understand and address their shadow material at each stage of development. 6.1 The three-two-one process is a fundamental pathway of neurotic development that is intuitively used by psychotherapists and can be seen in various forms of therapy, including shadow work, which involves taking into account the stages of growing up development. 6.2 Shadow material can occur at each stage of development, providing a clear understanding of the type of shadow material available at each stage. 7. 20:27 🧠 Different levels of consciousness can be repressed, leading to denial and projection of qualities onto others, causing conflicts in culture wars. 7.1 There is a spectrum of development of different levels of consciousness that can be repressed, resulting in a variety of symptoms. 7.2 As different defense mechanisms emerge, individuals tend to deny and repress their own qualities and project them onto others, leading to conflicts in the culture wars. 8. 23:16 🧘‍♀ Practice empathy and shadow work to confront and integrate the parts of ourselves that we hate and stop projecting them onto others. 8.1 If something upsets you and drives you crazy, it's probably a projection of your own qualities. 8.2 Practice empathy by talking to an imaginary person in an empty chair to integrate their perspective into your own, even if you still disagree with it. 8.3 Shadow work is difficult but rewarding as it requires us to confront and accept the parts of ourselves that we hate and loathe. 8.4 Acknowledge and befriend your projections without being judgmental to avoid negative impacts on your mental health. 8.5 Shadow work is challenging but necessary to acknowledge and integrate our own hatred and stop projecting it onto others, and it can help reduce the influence of our shadows in the world.

Ken here is at the top of his “game”

Ken Wilber is one of the most important philosophers in the last 50 years.

I didn't understand anything in relation to the 3 subtypes of each chakra, can someone explain to me?

Doubt this applies in 2023

Where is this from?

Yes that's pretty interesting. This also relates to the polarisation of hierarchy vs. egalitarian democracy. It's individual vs. collective rule. We have that dichotomy in all political systems and in two party systems, this seems to be the main line of conflict.

I do think that AI intelligence may be fundamentally different to human intelligence but I find Ken's argument here bizarre. No quarks, atoms, molecules etc in AI computers? Then what exactly are they made of? And regarding AI not being able to pick things up: ua-cam.com/video/mWEd-IeFR5E/v-deo.html

seed human consciouness with movies with pictures in the direction you want it to go.

The last contribution to this is from the beginning of 2017, which misses a lot of the rapid developments in the field of AI over the last six years. I think something should be posted that includes what has happened in the last year or so, as AI has progressed faster than anyone imagined, and is poised to progress far, far more in the next five or six years.

Ken never grew up with an , Nor did he grow up in an area where the jobs went away. What happens to males when faced with a destroyed self-esteem, Depression and anxiety? Typically Alcoholism, Drug addiction, and increased sex drive focusing on weaker partners (i.e. children, prostitutes, and secretive "Down Low" same sex incidents... causing them to over compensate, and act more toxically macho. And those mothers who don't "fall" have to become "men" of the house and stressed out "Mothers" left with Disciplining and nurturing. When raising boys, of course she's most often "not perfect" because she doesn't "see" the world of men, just as men are most often unable to "see" how the world and genetics shape women (wombman.) Brilliant Ken falls into the same trap here that Jordan Peterson fell into.

Good listen. Transcends the masculine vs feminine debate. I recently saw a poster which said what would the world be like if women ruled the world. It is more complex than that.

Amazing conversation about all inclusive life practices ❤️🙏

I've always found this problematic. I fundamentally agree with the Wilberian notion that, in my own words, there is no reasonable theory of why the big bang would create life, and why life would create intelligence, and why intelligence can attain enlightenment. I do believe that "random chance" can be an explanation for the mechanism, and I don't agree that something is "pushing" it. How could these cited "simulations" possibly make sense? Reality is a given. There is no alternative to using reality itself as the basis of a simulation. Thus, it would seem, whatever occurs in reality makes mathematical sense, and I'm not aware of any deviation from that, where the mathematics of probability prove false due to some unseen variable. Maybe that exists, it's being referenced here, but I'm not qualified to say it makes sense and I haven't found this information or seen it myself. In my eyes, it is just very odd that random chance would generate unforeseeable innovation and novelty that seems to have a directional vector towards awareness in the ultimate sense of the scale of all time. However, I don't get when Wilber talks about "Spirit throwing itself out". What does that mean? When does that happen? Who does that? It seems like jargon, seems like "Amber meme" mythology. I believe it is citing Sri Aurobindo, who taught spirituality a la yoga. But it is a poetic description, and I don't think it's appropriate to treat it as a technical description. Involution, as a concept, still makes no sense to me after watching this, and after reading all of Wilber's books. It just seems like a placeholder word to the observable teleology of the Universe, it would seem, to create greater self-awareness at an accelerating rate. I worry that using weird mysticism-based jargon might muddle the presentation of this practical observation.

Thanks for providing these resources!

Thank you for posting this.

"we become addicted to what we should have let go of" - I would love to see some specific examples of this.

It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with primary consciousness will probably have to come first. What I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing. I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order. My advice to people who want to create a conscious machine is to seriously ground themselves in the extended TNGS and the Darwin automata first, and proceed from there, by applying to Jeff Krichmar's lab at UC Irvine, possibly. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461

This is great! Thank you for posting this

The Big Bang is a myth and Neo-Darwinism only accounts for a small portion of evolution

Fantastic. I love your thoughts on this, and yes we need a new language to communicate these realities.

👍

Great

Man muss lernen, bei allem, was man tut, innerlich frei zu sein. Danke Ken

So beautiful and inspiring. And so much work to do on my, our, selves!

thank you

i don't understand what's the new in what he says. Orthodox marxists were saying that communism can only prevail in the most developed countries long before the bolshevik revolution, and they are still saying it. That is why the spartacus revolution was so important, and that is what lenin's permanent revolution was about, to fill the gap between agrarian and industrial socicety....

Interesting stuff thanks

Great convo, thanks for uploading!

Snoozefest

Is there a way to get the a CD from the piece with Dianne Hamilton and Big Mind ? I couldn’t get the website right. Please let me know.

Years ago it was the dialogue I asked Ken to have with Werner Erhard. The brilliance of Ken and the creative power of Werner

Ken is Ace. Nuff said.

then why is Lilly stating now that the Matrix is a trans movie? Lana said that it would be hypocritical to tell people what to think of it, why does it seem like they’re now pushing an agenda to fit their own experiences..that doesn’t sound right to me

great publishing thanks.

Who is the generous person to thank for sharing this playlist?

und das aus Bayern!!! YESSS!!

Doesn't integral theory show that you have to go through the pluralistic stage (green stage in Spiral dynamics) in order to get "hold of" the now? Let's take Jesus for an example. He's jewish, but he was pretty pluralistic after getting enlightened. I mean if you see that everything is maya, how can you be rascist and start wars. Hm. But what about Heidegger. Heidegger saw through it, but he supported the Nazi regime in its beginnings. What about Richard Wagner? He's a musical genius, but also undoubtedly an idiot. After discussing with myself, I think, Ken is right on this one. Or at least, it depends on your personality and ability to reflect, in order to interpret in a more inclusive manner.

Thanks
