In A Theory of Everything Wilber attempts to...

...spirituality and show...

...integrate with theories of developmental psychology, such as Spiral Dynamics...

...this book is, "Wilber's shortest, simplest overview of his work."[

In 1982 New Science Library published his anthology The Holographic Paradigm and other Paradoxes


a collection of essays and interviews, including one by David Bohm.

The essays, including one of his own, looked at how...

...the holographic paradigm relate to the fields of consciousness, mysticism and science

Thoughts on Clare W. Graves

was a professor of psychology

...theory that he called, among other titles, "The Emergent Cyclical Levels of Existence Theory"

“The psychology of the mature human being is an unfolding, emergent, oscillating, spiraling process marked by progressive subordination of older, lower-order behavior systems to newer, higher-order systems as man’s existential problems change,”

He concluded that external life conditions (existential problems) trigger psychosocially congruent internal neurobiological equipment (mind capacities) to create a ‘level of psychological existence’—or worldview, or valuing system

Originally, the Spiral Dynamics book was largely a simplification and popularization of Dr. Grave’s theory, which held that human behavior can be broken down into multiple patterns or levels of existence with corresponding managerial, educational, social, and developmental approaches. First called Value Systems Theory and Coping Systems, the point of view proved very useful for dealing with diversity and human factors

Dr. Grave’s theory is rooted in General Systems theory and developmental psychology

Because his work integrates the roles of biological/genetic factors, psychological factors and socio-cultural forces in the creation of these levels of existence experienced by individuals and groups, it bridges multiple knowledge sets and disciplines to pull many ways of knowing together.

Hermeticism & Alchemy (Terence McKenna)

Hermetism, Gnosticism, & Neoplatonism. Doctrines of Hermes Trismegistus

youtu.be/AS8QL5crSHE

An alchemist is a person versed in the art of alchemy

Alchemy is still practiced today by a few

A large number of alchemists are known from the thousands of surviving alchemical manuscripts and books

Alchemy has had a long-standing relationship with art, seen both in alchemical texts and in mainstream entertainment. Literary alchemy appears throughout history

Visual artists had a similar relationship with alchemy.

...worked with the alchemists themselves or integrated alchemical thought or symbols in their work.

Music was also present in the works of alchemists and continues to influence popular performers

Some contemporary artists use alchemy as inspiring subject matter, or use alchemical symbols in their work.

...alchemical thinking remains central.
In Our Time - History of Alchemy

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of Alchemy, the ancient science of transformations. The most famous alchemical text is the Emerald Tablet, written around 500BC and attributed to the mythical Egyptian figure of Hermes Trismegistus. Among its twelve lines are the essential words - “as above, so below".

The Art of Magick and the Magick of Art - Miles Hingston

As mentioned previously, our brains are all about finding and decoding patterns, we are designed to think symbolically. Consider then that as children we have been taught what symbols to use to construct our model of the World. We are taught how to “spell”, or rather be put under the spell of language

Words are also symbols, when we think about things we are really thinking about the construction and interaction of various symbols, it is a code. This is the foundation of magical practice, language is an esoteric science first and foremost

Reality is at a very deep level a set of interrelated and self-referential symbols. We interpret these symbols and therefore explore reality linked to a set of codes, not all of them are conscious. Some codes have a stronger claim than other..

...Changing those codes makes us see things in a different way because we bring new symbols in contact with us. The semiotic theory of magic states that a person is able to effect communication in their universe by changing the symbols they interact with. The magickian seeks either a psychological change within themselves or an environmental change by changing their cultural coded symbols. As Philip K. Dick reminds us, “the linking and unlinking of objects is actually a language”.

all very interesting, but have you put this into practice? or have you witnessed it put into practice?

An essay on magic by Alan Moore

Regard the world of magic. A scattering of occult orders which, when not attempting to disprove each other’s provenance, are either cryogenically suspended in their ritual rut, their game of Aiwaz Says, or else seem lost in some Dungeons & Dragons sprawl of channelled spam, off mapping some unfalsifiable and thus completely valueless new universe before they’ve demonstrated that they have so much as a black-lacquered fingernail’s grip on the old one. Self-consciously weird transmissions from Tourette’s-afflicted entities, from glossolalic Hammer horrors. Fritzed-out scrying bowls somehow receiving trailers from the Sci-Fi channel. Far too many secret chiefs, and, for that matter, far too many secret indians.

Beyond this, past the creaking gates of the illustrious societies, dilapidated fifty-year-old follies where they start out with the plans for a celestial palace but inevitably end up with the Bates Motel, outside this there extends the mob. The psyche pikeys. Incoherent roar of our hermetic home-crowd, the Akashic anoraks, the would-be wiccans and Temple uv Psychic Forty-Somethings queuing up with pre-teens for the latest franchised fairyland, realm of the irretrievably hobbituated. Pottersville.
