PDC+++ M1.8 The Integral model

Slide 1 :

Slide 2 : Class 1.8 of the PDC+++ Course What is the Integral Model & how does it work? + why is it so significant for this time in history? In this class we explore the integral model in more depth & ask why it could be one of the most important maps in order to orient us in the creation of human societies which are more sustainable.

There are many different perspectives in the world, many of them apparently contradictory ... : There are many different perspectives in the world, many of them apparently contradictory ...

Por primera vez en la historia tenemos acceso a todas las culturas, todos los conocimientos, todas las perspectivas de la humanidad : Por primera vez en la historia tenemos acceso a todas las culturas, todos los conocimientos, todas las perspectivas de la humanidad For the first time in history we have access to all human cultures & their knowledge

Slide 8 : All perspectives have something to contribute, they may all contain some piece of the truth Nobody is so intelligent as to be wrong 100% of the time Suppositions

Slide 9 : It's not about finding the correct perspective But about finding how all of these perspectives fit Without eliminating any one, but putting each one in its place

4 Steps of the Scientific Method : 4 Steps of the Scientific Method Experimentation • Hypothesis (a model) > Theory • Observation • Prediction

Slide 11 : "How can we collect all the essential elements of each perspective & construct with this a map of human development?" Ken Wilber asked himself: Pattern - Spotting

We start with putting all perspectives on top of the table: sciences, spiritual traditions, philosophical currents ... : We start with putting all perspectives on top of the table: sciences, spiritual traditions, philosophical currents ...

Slide 13 : then take a wider perspective & look for any patterns

Slide 14 : & we obtain a map that is a perspective of perspectives (meta-model)

Slide 15 : Integral Operating System or "AQAL" (All Quadrants, All Lines, etc. - states, types, levels)

Slide 16 : What is it for? Always remember: The map is not the territory

Slide 17 : The Integral Model A map of our Consciousness States & Levels Lines & Types Quadrants Applications PDC+++ class1.8

States of consciousness : States of consciousness ZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZ every individual, every day, journeys through the great states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.

Slide 19 : ZZ ZZZ Consensual Reality Dream level Essence

Slide 20 : We have access to all states at any level

Levels of development : Levels of development The levels of development are stages on the social, psychological or organizational evolution.

Slide 22 : They are disposed in “holarchies”: Each level includes and transcends the previous ones But! Watch out for the "pre-trans fallacy"! All levels are necessary HOLON: A term coined by Arthur Koestler. In Integral Theory, a holon refers to a whole that is simultaneously part of another whole, or “whole/part.” Whole atoms are parts of whole molecules, which themselves are parts of whole cells, and so on. There are individual holons and social holons.

Slide 27 : All are natural successions!!

Slide 28 : The Integral Model A map of our Consciousness States & Levels Lines & Types Quadrants Applications PDC+++ class1.8

Lines : Lines Lines are "intelligences" or abilities that we develop to different levels

The Integral Psychograph : The Integral Psychograph

Slide 31 : The idea of the lines of development is inspired by Howard Gardner's theory of the Multiple Intelligences However, the RC model talks about a single type of intelligence that supports us in everything Are the two models compatible?

Slide 32 : If we have more patterns in a line than others, those prevent us from developing this potential. + knowledge and experience also are important

Types : Types Types are present at any level, state, or line.

Quadrants : Quadrants Brandy Agerbeck

Slide 37 : System (how the whole works, dynamic) Physical (description of its components) Inner life (enlightened "?) Social Life ("Frog's Culture", Life Cycle)

Slide 38 :

Slide 39 : AQAL = All Quadrants All Levels ... Etc. = The Integral Model (Ken Wilber) Permaculture is by DEFINITION an Integral Science

What are its applications? : What are its applications? Why is it so significant for this stage in history? 1) Integrate 2) Complete 3) Facilitation 4) World Peace 5) Confidence 6) accelerate the Natural succession!

¡Integrate! : ¡Integrate! Explain how the various sciences, philosophies, world views, etc.. COMPLEMENT and how they fit And its various sub- classifications a more complete map (= useful) of the reality

Slide 43 : Goodness, Truth & Beauty Arts 1st person Me Morality 2nd person Us, culture Science 3rd person It, nature BEAUTY, the pull from the centre TRUTH, the pull from the circumference GOODNESS, inclusive transcendence

Slide 44 : GOODNESS BEAUTY T R U T H

Completes : Completes It helps us consider ALL possible facets of an issue IT'S A THINKING TOOL & one for being more effective we all have our "pet quadrants!" & the tendency to look at the world from there (only or mostly) well used ... it can OPEN OUR MINDS

Slide 47 : Eg. analyzing death of fish ... Cultural study & scale of values Ecological & social evaluation Conduct & physiological analysis Psychological & phenomenological analysis Emotions, feeling of identity, Beliefs Empirical, Chemical, Biological Environmental Political Educational Economic Philosophical Ethical Religious Cultural

Facilitating : Facilitating Facilitating is directing the attention of a group toward forms of thinking or parts of the whole which are considered most useful to focus on in that moment ... we can play with types in order to unite a group, to classify & other functions ...

Geography : Geography draw an imaginary map on the floor ... classify people in order to create more fertile connections

Horoscopes : Horoscopes Facilitating & other typologies Eneagram

Types of Permaculture Designers : Types of Permaculture Designers Fairies Trolls Facilitating

Peace in the World : Peace in the World Being conscious that the different memes "can't see each other" ... if there is a 'memetic conflict' >> send 'em home .. >> communicate to each in their language >> accelerate natural succession Keep well in mind the different world-views in order to create

Confidence : Confidence from having more complete maps

Accelerate Natural Succession : Accelerate Natural Succession expanding consciousness, offering maps Which type of Globalization?
