States of Consciousness

"States" of Consciousness: One of the five basic aspects of AQAL theory, tonight we will discuss the Integral model regarding States of Consciousness. In our discussion on Oct. 1, we brought up a lot of questions about states... What is a "normal" state of consciousness? Are "altered states" always a good thing or bad thing? How can we fit all of this into a "map" that helps us navigate our lives...? The format will be that we will do a short presentation on the topic, usually featuring a short reading, recording or video from Ken Wilber's work. Then we will discuss the topic, giving everyone a chance to participate. Some of it may sound technical, but Ken's work can be very practical and intuitive, so even if you are new to Ken's work, we want to hear from you! It's a great chance to learn about Integral! We'll try start right at 7, so come a little early if you can. But you're welcome any time. We'll wrap up at 8:30.
