Steve McIntosh has been a lawyer and an investment banker, is an inventor and entrepreneur, and is, we think, one of today's most engaged and inspired “integralists.” Author of the forthcoming book Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution, McIntosh is a voluble proponent and passionate explorer of the cutting-edge theories and methods pioneered by the luminaries of integral philosophy, such as Alfred North Whitehead, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Clare Graves, and Ken Wilber, to name a few. In this conversation with WIE, McIntosh speaks about his personal history and the formative, intuitive, and spiritual experiences that led him to enthusiastically embrace an integral view of human culture, consciousness, and the evolution of the universe. This interview is the first in a series about the fundamentals of integral philosophy and its real-time—as well as future-leaning—applications for the development of human life and of consciousness itself.
