Mapping out the "Integral" Tool Kit

[Bill]

I thought it might be useful to list and describe the characteristic Integral tool ideas.

As I let the 'back' parts of my mind chew on the idea of the integral tools, the thought atose that one that should have been included (altho I think of it as "wilberian", pre-integral, which may have been why I didn't include it in my earlier listing) was the 'pre/trans fallacy'.

Because I associate it with ealry wilber, and am in many ways more impressed with early wilber than late 'integral' wilber, I hadn't included it, which i arguably should have.

So I was wondering if it wouldn't be interesting to gather ideas for a complete list of integral tools?

And look for different perspectives on the Integral Tool Kit.

My list so far, not necessarily in the best possible order.:

1. The Meta-Tool - the Ideal of Integration.

2. AQAL

3. SD and the colors language

4. Boomeritis

5. 2nd-etc Tier(s) ('espousal'?)

6. Early Wilberian Pre/Trans Fallacy

Each of those tools contain subtools. I wonder what the most complete possibile elaboration of the toolkit would look like?

That sounds good BA...but I want to see it in action...some examples in real life.
I am going to try a technique on the most delusional (mad) person that comes into the store...his world is a smorgasborg of every silly metaphysical idea ever constructed...archangels, spirit guides, grays, reptilians, UFOs, diamensions, past lives...the guy thinks he defuses bombs remotely eg: at the Democratic Convention.

What I am going to do next time I see him, instead of listening to this for an hour, I think I will say something like "In my universe there are no archangels." and each time he brings up one of delusional entities I will repeat "In my universe there are no..........fill in the blank."

Bill,

I think there are "integral" styles of shadow work, such as the 1-2-3 model of perspectives. Likewise, they have the 1-2-3 of God meditation model, which is useful, if not very effective in the long term. These are somewhat new models.

I also think that the Big Mind/Big Heart process is an integral model for shadow work, even though that isn't how they see it.

But I do agree that 'integral" needs to develop a more comprehensive tool kit, one that incorporates the various integral models in a way that enables viable praxis.

Peace,
Bill
