Q1: Patterns of Wholeness: A Firsthand Account of the Highest Structures of Consciousness

Question: "Could you describe how you use Vision Logic, Illumined Mind, Intuitive Mind, Overmind and Supermind in your day to day life, what does the experience of each look and feel like? And what did the move to each higher cognitive structure involve, how did you make the moves?"

Q2: How Do We Bring Integral Into the World?

Question: "Considering the various problems that we all see around the world, how do we elevate people's consciousness and bring integral into the world in order to solve these problems? Now that we've got all this information, where do we go from here? How do we mesh each of our desires to make the world a better place, while honoring that everyone has the right to be where they are developmentally? How do we go from being integrally informed to making an integral difference?"

Q5: Explaining Autopoiesis

Question: "I would very much love to hear Ken Wilber talk about autopoiesis and social autopoiesis in way that I can really get my mind around. The Upper-Right Quadrant in connection with human behavior is still not totally alive for me, so I would be grateful to hear more about this."
