What is the Integral Framework, and why is it important?
The integral framework is a meta-theory, in other words, a theory of theories.
It's a conceptual framework that allows room for every area of human knowledge and inquiry to be on the same map, in relation to each other, and in a larger context.
As such, it assists you in navigating situations and problems more effectively while making sense of a complex world, thus contributing meaning and effectiveness.
Where does it come from?
Philosopher Ken Wilber — considered by scholars to be the most widely read and influential of contemporary American philosophers — is referred to by his students as “the Einstein of consciousness.”
Just as we are still digesting the insights from Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, similarly, Integral Theory is currently transforming many fields simultaneously — from medicine and leadership to business and politics. It will take years to deepen into the full ramifications of this work.
Why is this an important part of Kalapa?
Imagine trying to navigate the world with an outdated map. That’s exactly what many of our leaders are doing — making decisions from outdated paradigms!
If we are to leave the world a better place for future generations, having a conceptual map that makes sense of our complex universe and reality is indispensable.
We are committed to giving you the most effective tools, modalities, and methodologies to navigate your world!
What can I use it for?
First of all, you will use it for yourself — so that you can create order from the jumble of what the world is throwing your way. The world and the Universe will make more sense — both why things exist and also how they fit together.Secondly, you will become more effective in finding the key places to leverage in order to effect the greatest positive change you can in your lifetime.
