Steve McIntosh is a man of many talents—a lawyer,
inventor, entrepreneur—and, we've discovered, one of
today's most inspired integral thinkers. His forthcoming book,
Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution,
promises to be a high-level entry into the frothy, fertile world
of integral thought, analysis, and real-time application. In
this interview with WIE's Carter Phipps,
McIntosh explains the first five stages in his unique,
consciousness-centric application of the Gravesian spiral of
development. Moving up the spiral, from archaic to postmodern
consciousness, the conversation is a fast-moving vehicle,
covering detailed explanations of each stage and brimming with
illuminating historical examples and relevant current events,
such as the war in Iraq and Islamic extremism. His apparently
unlimited grasp of human history, philosophy, literature, and
art provides plenty of fuel for this supercharged conversation,
bringing coherence, clarity, and structure to a profound
exposition of the basic building blocks of human consciousness.
