AQAL a la Ken Wilber

AQAL — What's THAT?

All Quadrants, All Lines

I have been interested in the work of Ken Wilber for a long time. He has, over many years, researched and developed a way of looking at conscious, social develpment, evolution, spirituality, and a host of other elements of Being Human. He is unique in that for the most part, rather than try and see whose Right, he assumes, as much as possible, that most observers and thinkers on such topics have at least some degree of a handle on The Truth about how things work for us humans.

He then attempts to analyze and articulate their views and research, then, combined with his own thinking and extensive experience with meditation, coordinate and synthesize all that information and perspective into a more-or-less digestible whole.

I say more-or-less because a lot of his stuff takes some work to read and really Get It. … More on that later.

Although I am not trying to force my work to fit into his paradigm, I do find it useful — and Integral – to use his maps of consciousness and being human, to what ever degree possible.

I am now working on a MindMap of my work that overlays his AQAL charts to the degree possible.
