4. Our Focus: Two Primary Dimensions
1. Integral Theory
– “Integral theory is a philosophy promoted by Ken Wilber that
seeks a synthesis of the best of pre-modern, modern, and
postmodern reality.[1] It is portrayed as a "theory of everything,"[2]
and offers an approach "to draw together an already existing
number of separate paradigms into an interrelated network of
approaches that are mutually enriching."[1] It has been applied by
scholar-practitioners in 35 distinct academic and professional
domains as varied as organizational management, art, and
feminism”.[1]” from “Integral theory” at Wikipedia

5. Our Focus: Two Primary Dimensions
1. Integral Theory
2. Integral Practice
– “Integral practice is primarily an outgrowth of different integral
theories and philosophies as they intersect with various spiritual
practices, holistic health modalities, and transformative regimens
associated with the New Paradigm and
human potential movement. Some ways to describe integral
practice are the experiential application of integral theory,[46] the
"holistic disciplines we consciously employ to nurture ourselves
and others, and most specifically those practices that both
inspire and sustain growth in many dimensions at once,"[47] “ from
the ‘Integral practice section’ of “Integral spirituality” at Wikipedia

6. What is Integral Theory?
AQAL: "All Quadrants All
Levels"
AQAL (pronounced aqual or ah-
qwul) represents the core of
Wilber's work. AQAL stands for
"all quadrants all levels", but
equally connotes 'all lines', 'all
states' and 'all types'.[13] These
are the five irreducible
categories of Wilber's model of
manifest existence.[14] from the
“Ken Wilber” page at Wikipedia
