We need a Framework to not get lost in
translation

• Spiritual has different meanings
• From very religious, to superstitious, a special
  shared and deep moment, to a line of human
  intelligence (SI), to a developmental stage!
• How confusing is that?!
• Science also has different meanings
• Deep science and narrow science
• Scientific method vs. scientifically accepted
  subjects (crop circles, near death experiences,
  Psychology some time ago!)

20
Human stages of learning

• All stages transcend, and include the previous
  ones
• 1 You learn to stay alive
• 2 You learn to belong
• There is ONE Thruth
• 3 You learn to think for yourself (IQ)
• My opinion is right
• 4 You learn to feel and empathize (EQ) -
• Everybody is equal and has their own truth
• (and judging is bad!)
• 5 You learn to integrate all previous truths
• Some truths are more true than others, because
  of a greater care and understanding

21
Integral Framework

• Nobody is smart enough to be wrong all of the
  time..
• So, theres a truth in everything, every theory,
  worldview, experience
• but it is a partial truth.
• Lets find all the truths
• and find the development of truth!

22
Integral Framework

• Nobody is smart enough
• to be wrong all of the time..
• The framework helps map all the partial truths
  and leads to a dynamic integral worldview to make
  sense of it all
• It is AQAL All Quadrants, all Levels, all Lines,
  all Types, all States
• But dont confuse the map
• with the territory!
