clear integral thinking

One can't fault Wilber for his simplicity and gift for conveying the subtleties of integral thought. Vastly well-read, he's also a leading systematizer in the field of transpersonal psychology. Of course, depth-psych mavericks like me keep wondering whether, for example, the game of life is less a matter of holarchies, growth, and spiritual ascendance than of a deepening down and enriching of soulful experience (regardless of where you are in someone else's hierarchy)--but Wilber supplies the best overall developmental scheme I know of. If you're new to the integral studies field, definitely start with him.
