TSK and AQAL: Complementary Integral Visions

Just for reference, here is a link to an earlier conversation on TSK and Integral Theory which took place on the Integral Spiritual Center forum.

Re: TSK and AQAL: Complementary Integral Visions

As long as we wish lots of integral visions could be combined in a kind of glas beard game…

What about Spiral Dynamics Integral?

LOL…:)

Regarding TSK And AQAL:

The -roundabout -8 perspectives at every quadrantic plateau already give the essential “difference” with TSK.

To immerse into these perspectives or hori-zones creates worlds beyond perceptions. The whole material of KW Kosmos Trilogoy 3 is elaborating these accounts of epistomology. And in Integral Spirituality a great case study of limited prespectives id done with books of Rupert Sheldrake, Evin Laszlo, Byron Katie, Mike Murphy, Thich Nath Tan, Deepak Chopra and some others..

Then there are the wonderful discussions of edge.org

The third culture. is in itself a wonderful TSK exercise….decades after C.P. Snows elaboration about the two cultures.

Another approach could be comparing 1:1 European and US Takes of Integral. No matter if AQAL, SDi..or wahtever is referred to.

And to check how all is related to the flow of mainstream knowledge and academia. Its a monstrous complexity.

The word integral seems to dissolve right now already into lots of impulses and multitudes of meanings.

A guy like Goethe already was aware of this ever expanding universe of self knowledge. His explorations into the nature of metamorphoses were deeply and powerfully embedded in his own life.

A life with BIG LETTERS and a productivity even in when he was high above 70. Geniuses like Strawinsky and Picasso too.

So the mysteries can enver be exhausted…and fireworks of new integral visions are needed….
