It's all in the name

What is an Integrator, anyway? Here's my best understanding of who I'm claiming to be...



First off, let me give props to Ken Wilbur and Don Beck for bringing the concept of integral consciousness to the forefront. As the Integrator, I'm attempting to understand all states and stages of consciousness. Why? I think a better question is- why not? I get a great sense of fulfillment in life through understanding human consciousness. We are the most fascinating species that I know of. Ya, even cooler than dolphins. No other creature comes so close to understanding the nature of the cosmos, biology, physics, and art like we humans do.

I believe that the only way we, as a species, have any chance to survive is to understand where we are now. And that means understanding how we interpret the world and ourselves.

Every great teaching has a map. For the integral approach. One of the maps is called Spiral Dynamics. Check it out on youtube. It a video that discussed bipolar disorder as well as spiral dynamics. But, Its the very best basic description. The explaination starts at 4:38.
