“Each of these stages of development is a ‘transcend and include’ process. This is the standard core process found in all of evolution, and it’s actually the process by which evolution itself works.” —Ken Wilber

Ken explores one of the core dynamics of evolution in the universe — the notion that each new stage of development is supposed to transcend and include the stage that comes before it. If something goes wrong in either of those aspects — transcending or including — it can bring development to a crashing halt and pathological development arrest sets in.
