Johnboy,
I am reading a book about levels of consciousness and Christian Spirituality. " Putting on the Mind of Christ" by Jim Marion (with a foreword by Ken Wilber) contains a nine stage spiritual "map" based on the work of Piaget, Gebser, and Wilber.
Have you read it?
I am not an intellectual and I don't understand many of your questions. However, I am reading things in this book that ring true. If you get a chance, take a look at it.
Marion addresses how people at different levels of consciousness see this world differently. He goes on to cite specific examples of children's growth in consciousness. I am excited about this book because it is affirming many things I have come to know through my life experience.
I'd like to discuss this information with others. If you give it a look, let me know what you think of it......hopefully in language that I will be able to understand.
Hope this contributes something to your consciousness thread.
Diana
