What are the three types of lines?

Integral Theory (philosophy): How do lines, levels, states and types apply to UR, LL and LR quadrants?

  • The Integral Framework consists of lines, levels, states, types and quadrants.  However, Wilber often focuses on UL as lines (multiple intelligences), levels (spiral dynamics), states (waking, dreaming, non-dual) and types (personality).  Specifically, how to lines, levels, states and types apply to UR, LL, LR?  What are the practical applications to these other three quadrants?

  • Answer:

    For what is my understanding of Integral Theory, the other quadrants are expressing the same principles just viewed from a different perspective. UR = shows how external reality evolve in:           lines: mineral, vegetal, animal          states - gross, subtle, causal ...          levels -  atoms, cells, organs ...          types - neurons, brain, brainwaves  ... LL = shows the internal correlations : the plural shared interiority evolving like an individual do along type, line, level, states, but, being a group of individuals,  this is happening at a different pace. LR = shows external correlations: the systems that hold things together:  natural environment, social systems, society, networks, all evolving in  steps/levels, along different lines: universe, planet, nation, government laws etc. Also the different states of the matter, have a  system that hold them together. The practical use of the Integral framework , also called AQAL (all quadrant, all levels, lines, states and types), is that of an inclusive and clear map, that help us navigate reality as we perceive it. A map of self, nature, culture and environment, that clearly describes how reality tetraemerge and tetraevolve and that we can't leave any of this dimensions behind if we what to live a fulfilling well balanced life.
