This is an exploration of Altitudes of Consciousness from Ken Wilber, often known as the similar concept, Spiral Dynamics. Bringing it all together here - most of what we've unpacked in the podcast and comment responses.

Wilber's Integral Theory presents a total map, or model, of reality itself, including consciousness and everything else. Levels represent one of five primary Modules, or aspects of this universe, this reality, this conscious experience of being. We have previously broken down each stage of consciousness, the color-coded "Memes", in self and culture, in various styles. In this video, we take those as given, and now we're ready to dive into the dynamics of this system; how the Levels actually work, and how it is that we can claim they are the fundamental nature of reality itself.

This knowledge is not the end-all be-all, any more than anyone else's truth claim. It is simply Level 7, at least one Level higher than folks tend to be on Earth right now. It is the Future, or the emergent present, as understood by itself. This model, a revolutionary total map of everything, also indicates to Level 7 that there are higher Levels still, which bring us into the deepest, highest, and most expansive realms of perspective-inclusion and fearless acceptance of what can be known to the human mind, as far as we know. This draws not only from bleeding-edge insights by top contemporary thinkers, but also from the esoteric wisdom of the entire history of thought, weaving it into a simple and elegant rainbow, aka the spectrum of consciousness, and the perennial wisdom of a great chain of being.

DISCUSSION
This one took about a week of waking life's work, including breaking my computer, destroying the project file and having to do major fixes, rotoscoping myself in coffee shops, and not applying for a real job or making any income. As this is a hobby that does not pay for itself, let alone my living expenses, I am proud of the quality of it, but I do cringe at various glitches, artifacts, and the overall comic laziness of the presentation. As awareness spreads and the project grows, it will be unThinkMe's supreme pleasure to rise to contemporary standards of sound, picture, and teamwork. Right now, it's a passionate, motivated individual doing his best with a lot of heart. I am looking for help, I am looking for growth, I am looking for backing. I consider this my career, I see people laughing at that less and less, and I deeply appreciate the support and kindness of those who care about me or believe in this vision as I joyously strive without a source of income.

I want to make more of these documentary videos - I see them as our bread and butter. The podcast discussions and stream of consciousness lectures are more viable to accomplish, and they drive our performance, so as usual, I apologize for the content cornucopia and lack of organizational consistency. We are an integral developer. These are the good old days. It's never going to be more fun than this. But each day, I eagerly step into the Future. There is no choice. I'm not in a position to resist my soul, my calling, the work that I'm here to do. This monkeyfinger will grow. I'm certain. We're going to look back on this time, like always, as extremely, extremely cute. So it is, and so it shall be.

ABOUT unThinkMe
An eclectic array of videos for anyone interested in Integral Theory, Levels of consciousness, and other psycho-spiritual and intellectual topics. If you don't know what that is, this is a great channel to get acquainted. If you do, help guide us. We claim no authority and are trying to popularize these ideas, expose them to new audiences, explore and develop them, but mostly just create a space for Integral community that is fun, irreverent, welcoming and inclusive, also tackling some pretty deep, heavy, and divisive terrain. This channel is brought to you by Stein unLimited, an imaginary business entity.
