- In Integral Theory, where does “The Great Chain of Being” fit in?
- Can you unpack what the components of the great chain of being are and how to distinguish them?
- What are the different states of consciousness in Integral Theory?
- What are the distinctions between awareness and consciousness and spirit in Integral Theory?
- Given that spirit is 1. the ground of all being, 2. the source of all existence, 3. beyond and within all existence, and 4. matter could be seen as the exterior dimension/perspective of spirit manifesting also at different levels of complexity and integration, could a more streamlined and elegant chain be constructed from spirit, to body, mind to soul, which would also resonate with aspects of spiritual, physical, mental and emotional developments? If this is the case, what would be the implications from 1. a holarchic point of view in terms of a. the primacy of the spirit, b. the ontological nature of matter (being not a substance but a “mental construct” / external perspective/dimension, and the c. the body/physical to mind/mental to soul/emotional developmental and evolutionary capacities and capabilities?
- If in terms of awareness, the gross state is agile, the state is fragile, the causal state is antiagile, the witness state is robust and the nondual state is antifragile, what would be the implications of this realization?
- Based on the above, could the dreaming REM fragile phase and deep NREM antiagile phase of sleep, be the internal generative and receptive functions to find creative emergent solutions to help us transition from agility to robustness unto antifragility in our personal growth and development? Could this be the adaptive function of dreams and also the wellspring of our intuitive creative capacities?
- Can you provide a list of titles reflecting the zeitgeist of what has been revealed so far?
- Can you produce a vibrant image without words reflecting this?
