In this episode we discuss Jean Gebser and the waves of psychological development that all humans progress through. We give clear descriptions of the Archaic, Magic, Mythic, Rational, Pluralistic and Integral methods of thought and give instruction on how to identify each one. Each wave exists for its own purpose and has its own mode of operation. A deeper understanding of these methods of thought leads to a more wholistic perspective and richness in understanding. This psychological system is one of the components of Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory.
Archaic – The background source of all reality
Magic – One dimensional and mystical explanations of reality
Mythic – Narrative and poetic processes of thought
Rational – The thesis, antithesis and synthesis method of inquiry
Pluralistic – Many perspectives at once and complex comparisons
Integral – All perspectives and the ability to navigate with all preceding levels of development
