The Sacred Mandala of Being: A Spiritual Journey with Kabir Kadre

The Sacred Mandala of Being: A Spiritual Journey with Kabir Kadre

Kabir Kadre   October 23, 2025  
What if awakening isn’t the absence of limitation, but the presence of love within it? In this luminous dialogue, Kabir Kadre and Lama Kimberley Lafferty explore the path of embodied realization — where vulnerability becomes a teacher, the body becomes a mandala, and compassion becomes the clearest expression of truth.

The Four Quadrants: A New Way of Seeing

Corey deVos   October 14, 2025  
A New Way of Seeing Every day, we’re surrounded by people who seem to be living in different worlds. Some argue from “facts,” others from “feelings.” Some focus on individual choices, others on systemic forces. Some ask, “What’s going on inside you?” while others demand, “What’s happening out there?” They’re all pointing at the same reality — yet talking past each other completely. It’s as if we’re each standing at a different window, describing the view, and assuming everyone else must be blind. What if the problem isn’t that anyone is wrong — but that everyone is partial? What if...

Trauma, Transcendence, and the Beauty that Breaks Us Open

Kimberley Lafferty   July 25, 2025  
Geoff Fitch, Abigail Lynam, and Kimberley Lafferty explore how deep suffering, spiritual awakening, and developmental transformation often intertwine in the transition into meta-aware consciousness. Through personal stories, group process insights, and reflections on collective shadow work, they illuminate how real relationship and sacred community can hold and catalyze the most disorienting — and most liberating — phases of human evolution.

Core Concept: Stages of Development

Corey deVos   February 24, 2025  
Stages of Development: The Evolution of Worldviews and Meaning-Making Summary People don’t just hold different beliefs; they operate from different levels of meaning-making. These stages of development reflect deep structural shifts in how individuals and cultures process reality, ranging from egocentric survival needs to complex, world-centric perspectives and beyond. Each stage builds upon and transcends the previous one, expanding the capacity for perspective-taking, ethical reasoning, and systemic thinking. While all people have access to multiple perspectives, their center of gravity tends to reside in a particular stage, shaping their instincts, values, and priorities. For example, some prioritize rules and stability,...

Core Concept: Polarities

Corey deVos   February 18, 2025  
Polarities: Navigating Life’s Inevitable Tensions Summary In life, leadership, and social discourse, we often assume that tensions between competing values, perspectives, or approaches must be solved by choosing the "right" side. However, some tensions are not problems to fix but polarities to manage. A polarity consists of two interdependent poles, each of which holds essential truths and benefits—but also potential downsides when overemphasized at the expense of the other. Take Confidence and Humility as an example: Too much confidence leads to arrogance, inflexibility, and a dismissal of others’ input, while too much humility results in self-doubt, indecisiveness, and people-pleasing. Rather...

The Big Picture Mind (Redux)

Robb Smith   February 17, 2025  
The Big Picture Mind: What Every Elite is Missing I recently did a live event to provide what I hope will be one of the Biggest Picture views of what’s happening in 2025 available anywhere in the world.  Why? Because Big Pictures liberate. By seeing what’s actually happening, you have more freedom, you understand more, and you feel at home in the world no matter how chaotic it seems.  This thread clips the video for easily digestible chunks and explains each piece along the way. I have an explicit goal: to help everyone build a Big Picture Mind (BPM). Especially...
Faces of X: Making Peace with the Culture War

Faces of X: Making Peace with the Culture War

Corey deVos   September 19, 2024  
Stephanie Lepp talks with Corey deVos about her Faces of X project, which models how we can transcend culture wars by integrating opposing perspectives. The discussion explores how the polarization we see in society mirrors unresolved polarities within ourselves, and emphasizes the need for both personal and social integration. This discussion highlights the limitations of binary thinking and the importance of synthesizing conflicting viewpoints to create more inclusive, nuanced solutions.
The Complexity Lens

The Complexity Lens

Mark Allan Kaplan   October 2, 2023  
We now enter the complex domain of tetra-enmeshment and tetra-evolution with what I am calling the COMPLEXITY LENS. On a basic level we could say that tetra-enmeshment refers to the complex inter-relationship or tetra-enmeshment between the four quadrants or “the subjective, objective, intersubjective, and interobjective dimensions of existence” whereby “all four dimensions arise simultaneously and tetra-evolve
The Altitudinal Lens

The Altitudinal Lens

Mark Allan Kaplan   October 2, 2023  
When we look at a cinematic work and endeavor to discern if it is “integral” or not, what we are doing is attempting to use the term in an evaluative mode as a kind of typological categorization tool. One of the major ways of typologically mapping the Integral structure of consciousness is as a particular level or altitude on the worldview line of development (the Integral Worldview altitude).
The States Lens

The States Lens

Mark Allan Kaplan   October 2, 2023  
In a cinematic work, at the most basic level, these various human reality states can be captured and replicated to some degree through text, image, and sound. For example, we can visually and auditorily capture a storm (a weather state), and add the text/story of a person trying to get out of its way, including how this person is reacting (i.e., a fearful emotional state).
The Quadratic Lens

The Quadratic Lens

Mark Allan Kaplan   October 2, 2023  
This time we explore the QUADRATIC LENS. This lens helps us look upon everything we perceive as being made up of four distinct yet equal and interrelated essential dimensions of perceptual reality. These dimension-perspectives can be labeled in various ways to represent the form of existence we are looking at.

INSIGHT MAP: CANCELLED: The Battle for Free Speech in the Integral Age INSIGHT MAP INDIVIDUAL COLLECTIVE INTERIOR EXTERIOR The Illusion of Moral Superiority: The belief in one's moral superiority can blind individuals to the value of opposing viewpoints, hindering personal and societal evolution. The Paradox of Tolerance: Tolerance does not require acceptance of intolerance, as allowing intolerance can ultimately destroy the very foundation of tolerance itself. Transformation Through Openness: The willingness to be open to influence and to influence others is a crucial aspect of personal development. This openness facilitates a deeper exploration of truth and fosters a broader collective...

Putting the “Art” in Artificial Intelligence

Putting the “Art” in Artificial Intelligence

Ken Wilber   November 1, 2022  
What is art, at its most fundamental level? This is one of those perennial questions that we have been asking and re-asking at every stage of the human journey, from the first cave drawings all the way to the emergence of sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms like MidJourney that are once again blurring the lines between art, beauty, and perspective and forcing us to find new ways to answer this timeless question. Watch as Ken and Corey take a fun and fascinating look at the intersection between art, semiotics, and technology.
