#kenwilber — Public Fediverse posts

“The core of the architecture was what #Wilber called the #spectrumofconsciousness — a model that mapped levels of identity and modes of knowing across the full range of human experience, from the most contracted egoic awareness to the most expansive transpersonal modes described in the contemplative traditions. The model did not argue the merits of any school over others. Its method was not argumentation but something closer to what Niels Bohr called complementarity. Different schools of #psychology — from #Freudian analysis to #Jungian individuation to #Zen — each illuminated different bands of the spectrum. Each was valid for its domain. The framework’s job was to hold the relationships between them, not to rank them.
…
That #KenWilber belongs to this more sophisticated #Pragmatist tradition — the one #Habermas belongs to — is what the lifestyle enclave and the institutional allergies have conspired to make invisible.”

Gilbert starts out by mentioning that most critics of postmodernism associate it with extreme relativism. Which reminds me of an insight in 1 of Ken Wilber's books, where Wilber says that the only thing a committed relativist considers universal is the correctness of relativism. It's a paradox I've found fascinating ever since.

"The wise individual, then, whenever [they feel] some sort of pressure - from the boss, from the spouse, from school, friends, associates, or children - learns to use those feelings of pressure as a *signal* that [they have] some energy and drive that [they are] presently unaware of. [They learn] to translate 'I feel pressured' into 'I have more drive than I know'."

Since I mentioned #KenWilber ...
"Wilber’s brilliance will always be a part of me. But what he really taught me is this: There is no ideology. There is no guru. There is only us, and this, and the silence."

Word.

#JaronLanier makes a convincing argument that computers are not objectively real, instead, they can only be recognized by a conscious observer, at a particular speed, within a particular cultural context. To paraphrase #KenWilber, they are depths that must be interpreted. Mind officially blown. Check it out:
