Integral Meditation

This book is like a manual by the universe to itself. It can be used as a guide and one of the reference books to reach the highest potential that's humanly (and even non-humanly) possible today.

Continually seeing the subject as an object, transcending the current subject, and including it as an object, without addiction and a shadow, is the recipe that Ken Wilber gives us in order to go through all the stages of development.

He defines 6-8 stages, along with 4-5 consciousness states that can be reached, and with multiple lines of intelligence, various types, and 4 quadrants, he merges all of them into a theory and a framework that he calls The Integral Framework, and it truly is the most Integral map of human development that I've seen so far. Basically, it acts as a context machine and really a framework for all the other models and maps, that are by hundreds.

Every major discipline can be mapped with his framework and can be improved to include all aspects of life that the universe entails, including relationships, business, career, health, etc. So, we can use Integral approaches to improve all of that, and that's basically the only way to make our life's different domains inclusive and holistic.

Also, he mentions multiple times that all the states from gross to Unity Consciousness have an ability to view the world from the specific developmental stage that it is in. So, he differentiates Waking Up from Growing Up and says that one can be done independently from another, but they both help each other and facilitate growing to one's fullest potential both state-wise and structurally.

In short, this book is a must-read for everyone interested in human growth. If you are trying to become a better human being, you should read this. You will understand the importance of Growing Up, Waking Up, Showing Up, and also Cleaning Up that is necessary to do in order to see more and more structures and patterns more holistically, making your current subject an object and moving up in Stages, States and Lines and become one of the few individuals that manage to reap the benefits of the potential that Kosmos and Evolution have to offer today.
