A lot to digest but explained quite well given the depth of research behind these ideas. Do you have any book recommendations to better understand the foundations of the 7 Intelligences? Also is there a specific Ken Wilber book that best explains Integral Theory? Thank you for sharing all of this I definitely would like to begin incorporating this framework of living into my current experience. Looking forward to hearing more about states and types
Thank you for watching and engaging bro 🙏🏽 This framing of humanity's multiple intelligences emerging in 7 stages of biological evolution is my own, and unique to the Ancestor System. You can read more about my framing of them on the Wiki here: wiki.ancestor.earth/Intelligences For the idea of multiple intelligences more generally, there have been various conceptions of it in most cultures dating back thousands of years, but recently, Harvard's Howard Gardener made some waves with the idea in his 1983 book "Frames of Mind." My conception of the intelligences differs a good amount from Gardener's, as it comes down from the Integral Theory framing of it, outlined in Ken Wilber's work (like in Integral Psychology). Wilber uses Gardener's work to advocate for thinking in this way, though. The main influence for Ancestor's 7 Intelligences (besides my own direct experience and lived research) was Jung, who had his own idea of 4 "functions" (which is what the Myers-Briggs test is based on) which he outlines in his book "Psychological Types." My 7 intelligences are basically finer distinctions of the same basic categories. A good video on his framing is: bit.ly/3Z25DBh For Integral Theory, I would start with the book "A Brief History of Everything." Its a more condensed and readable version of his magnum opus "Sex, Ecology, Spirituality," which is worth saving until you're a bit warmed up. "Integral Psychology" is probably the best second book to read, as it zooms into the Mind (or the interior of the individual, or "Upper Left Quadrant" in IT terms) and presents a unified theory of psychology that is really second to none. If you're still interested after that, then "Sex, Ecology, Spirituality" is worth diving into and really understanding as it lays out the core of the theory in vivid detail. Alternative to reading, Wilber's audiobook / interview series "Kosmic Consciousness" is a great way in that covers most major things, and gives you a sense of the man as well: a.co/d/g6joLPb. I am also planning to make videos soon explaining mainline Integral Theory, so look out for that. And soon also the rest of the Ancestor stuff!
