Hi Gary! It was so very fortuitous to meet you the other day! I enjoyed the Integral basics laid out in this post, and when the holiday guests depart (love them when they come—love them when they go!) I’ll get to lean-in to all that you offer on your Substack.
What a treat to hear from you! Feel free to contact me if you have questions. One of my favorite Integral activities is to think about the unique insight it give us.
I love that you’re doing this unpacking here. I’ve been studying Wilber, et al, for about 20 years and it’s helped me navigate these times even though I still find myself getting sucked into the fray at times.
One way that these stages are a bit like buckets is that each stage sees the other stages as wrong. It’s really on,y when we get to 2nd tier stages that we can see how each stage is valuable and necessary and has something to offer.
And. Thank you for the Tim Urban citation. I’m devouring his book.

I need this!
Thank you for your work!

Thanks Kelly. I'm still learning Substack and just discovered your comment.
One of my quests is how not to get sucked into the fray. Integral is an oasis of steadiness that helps.
You are right that 1st Tier stages do share their holier-than-thou trait with buckets. An insight that improves our understanding.
I learned about Tim Urban from one of Adam Grant's semi-regular lists of book recommendations: https://adamgrant.substack.com/p/the-13-new-books-to-expand-your-mind
