Wholly Cow!

This talk by Ken Wilber has so many moving, swirling, changing, and interrelated parts that it makes my head spin! It has visions, logics, too many minds to shake a stick at, ladders, rungs, climbers, Wilbers, Aurobindos, patterns, perspectives, samadhies, chakras, world views, and much more. Well, one kind of secure thought  permeating the entire talk is wholes, wholes, wholes, and wholes. This is something my mind seems to be able to hold on to and apply.

For example, Gandhi taught that our life is not just a collection of separate unrelated parts, it is one whole. If I commit harmful acts in one small department of my life, like only abusing people on this one small website, it still has a negative effect on my whole life.

If I pick out one small color to hate in the vast large spectrum of color like only green or amber I am really hating the whole light.

And on the positive end, if I extend some compassion, love, care, concern and selfless service to one small part of humanity I am potentially benefiting all of the whole of humanity including myself.

Ken said that he translates his thoughts down into vision logic because there would be so few people who could understand beyond this. He implied that it would be possible to put higher minds into words. Does anyone know of examples of works written at these levels? I wonder if they would appear as mere gibberish to me.

Notes

Big mind + Supermind = Waking up

Negate and preserve
