An Essential Introduction to the Integral Approach

Take a moment and feel into the experience of life. In every moment, you have awareness of yourself from the inside, what you’re feeling and thinking, and you also have an experience of what it is that you’re doing—you’re reading the words on this computer screen with your eyes and the various parts of your brain that give you this ability. You are also never outside some kind of system, whether urban or a national park. For example, right now you’re sitting in a room, in your part of the world, at a particular time. You are also enculturated, which means you make meaning based on your upbringing, your culture, and your relationships. This short tour you just took highlights a few of the many perspectives or points of view that are available to us at all times. We call these dimensions the four quadrants, because everything can be looked at from one of these four perspectives, but also, cannot be reduced to just one, because they all intimately influence and shape the others. This e-learning program will help you to identify all the parts of your world that are operating in your experience, to see if you are covering and attending to all “the bases” of your life, and it will bring you one step closer to realizing greater understanding, the ability to make more informed choices, and to feel life on a deeper level.
