Wilber wouldn't accept this description of his ideas

goethean said... [Note that in current Integralist - certainly in Wilberian - terms, shamanic and tribal knowledge is (mis)interpreted as belonging to the pre-rational "Magical" stage. Or when adopted by the modern activist or environment movement as "Green" and "lower tier", or even "Mean Green Meme". It can thus be dismissed as inferior to the "higher tier" of the integral position.]
Wilber wouldn't accept this description of his ideas (shocking, I know), but it does accurately describe a bastardization that is common among Wilber's followers. And maybe something in KW's work gives rise to these misinterpretations. Although it must be said that KW does emphasize "transcend and include" which, if followed, would lead to a position of the sort that you are espousing rather than one that you are ascribing to Wilber. 8:01 AM
