In this 68 minute video interview, recorded on January 29, 2008,
Steve McIntosh and What Is Enlightenment? Magazine executive
editor, Carter Phipps, explore the methods and mechanisms through
which human consciousness and culture evolve and develop.
Chapter 1 examines the remarkable fact that human consciousness
is able to evolve and develop without changing its underlying
biological neurology or DNA. McIntosh and Phipps discuss the
critical role played by culture in the evolution of consciousness,
and the way in which values have developed in human history
through a sequence of dialectically related worldview stages.
Chapter 2 further explores the nature of “internal development,”
and describes how different aspects of a person’s consciousness
can evolve relatively independently along emotional, cognitive, and
volitional lines of development. McIntosh also discusses the role of
human free will as “an organ of perception for values.”
Chapter 3 concludes by exploring the spiritual line of development,
the nature of the self, and integral philosophy’s efforts to bring
forth a “natural theology” that recognizes those aspects of spirit
which become “self-evident” to those who have achieved the
integral stage of consciousness.
Includes a color insert with excerpts from Integral Consciousness.
