The Integral Psychograph

In an Integral Model, the psychograph measures the degree of growth an individual has achieved in various lines of development - cognitive, moral, aesthetic, kinesthetic, values, affect, etc. - as awareness expands from egocentric (me), to ethnocentric (us), to worldcentric (all of us), to Kosmocentric (all sentient beings) modes of being. The purpose of such a tool is two-fold: 1. By knowing one's own strengths and weaknesses, one can navigate life much more effectively, compassionately, wisely; and 2. The psychograph shows how close your consciousness is to being one with everything. Using the psychograph as the reference point for a wide-ranging exploration of the developmental aspect of an Integral Approach, Ken touches on how developmental stages are more like "probability clouds" than rigid rungs in a ladder, the critical - and almost universally unacknowledged - difference between social dominator hierarchies and natural growth hierarchies, why cultural creative boomers are unable to correctly understand Carol Gilligan’s work on moral stages of growth in both men and women, and the newly created “Indigo Award” that recognizes and rewards one of the least acknowledged minorities in our culture: those with Integral consciousness.
