8. Before modern man can gain control over the
forces that now threaten his very existence, he must
resume possession of himself.
This sets the chief mission for the city of the future:
that of creating a visible regional and civic
structure, designed to make man at home with his
deeper self and his larger world, attached to
images of human nature and love.
Lewis Mumford, writer
10. Introduction
What is this book
Integral theory is genuinely post-postmodern
or trans-modern, vastly inclusive yet
disciplined, so combining richness with rigour,
breadth with depth, and giving equal value to
the subjective and objective while also
grounded in empirical evidence. It guides
studies in various fields, providing a
conceptual framework that stimulates new
insights by highlighting neglected areas of
investigation and unexplored relationships.
Integral Theory provides a framework for
understanding the evolving complexification
of values, worldviews, behaviour, culture and
systems. That is; subjective and objective
worlds as well as intersubjective and
interobjective worlds.
Simplistically put:
Consciousness and Cultures of interior
subjective worlds and Capacities and
Creations of exterior objective worlds. All
based on ‘scientific’ studies appropriate to
each domain.

11. Introduction
www.integralmentors.org
Walking in the world not talking of the world
No one vision is sufficient in and of itself – visions
can guide but only by collaborative action in a
creative generative process can visions grow and
become part of an ongoing positive sociocultural
reality.
Without taking into account the many worldviews
that currently co-exist and crafting ways of
including them in a positive and healthy form we
will continue to alienate vast sections of all
communities and humankind.
It is through the growing healthy versions of all the
different worldviews that we can attempt to move
towards an equitable, regenerative and caring
world living within the planetary boundaries.
Through action we will move forward – through
only ongoing talk we will stagnate and fail.
These curation are to be dipped into – explored
and used to generate ideas and discussion.
A catalyst for collaboration and action.
And most importantly grown, modified in a
generative form.
This is a living document - any suggestions for inclusion
in the next volume send to: info@integralmentors.org
How to use this book
A taste of many visions in our world.
Visions both positive - utopian, and negative - dystopian. Each
claiming to be true and enfolding all the others
But in reality, they are ‘true’ but partial – and some more ‘true’
than others. Each ‘shallower’ truth transcended but the best is
included in the next ‘deeper’ or broader truth. However also
creating new and more complex problems.
It’s how we use them together and in collaboration that will
define how successful we are. It is the morphogenetic pull of
caring that will determine how we succeed as a human race. It is
the ability to generate an equitable, fair, resilient and
regenerative ‘system’ that must drive us forward.
The means will be a combination of many of the ideas
showcased here but many more still to be discovered on our
exciting journey into the future. Held together through a
syngeneic Integral Mythological Pluralism
Too little courage and we will fail – too much certainty and we will fail.
But with care and collaboration we have a chance of success.
Bringing forth emergent impact through innovation, syngeneic
enfoldment & collaborative effort.
And a deeper understanding of a broader framework will be required
– that is, a more integral vision.
Explore and enjoy – use as many of the ideas as possible, enfolding
each into an emergent whole that grows generatively.
At each step testing – reformulating – regrouping – recreating.
Moving beyond, participating, thro’ stake-holding, thro’ share-
holding, to becoming a thrive-holder.

13. An Integral View
• Social system
the massively influential forces of the social system, at all levels (from
nature to human structures, including the all-important impact of
nonhuman social systems, from Gaia to ecosystems).
A more integral cartography might also include:
Subjects do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different states of subjects bring forth different worlds.
• Cultural factors
the extraordinarily important impact of numerous cultural factors,
including the rich textures of diverse cultural realities, background
contexts, pluralistic perceptions, linguistic semantics, and so on, none
of which should be unwarrantedly marginalized, all of which should
be included and integrated in a broad web of integral-aperspectival
tapestries (and, just as important, a truly "integral transformative
practice" would give considerable weight to the importance of
relationships, community, culture, and intersubjective factors in
general, not as merely a realm of application of spiritual insight, but as
a mode of spiritual transformation).
• the importance of the self as the navigator of the great River of Life
should not be overlooked. It appears that the self is not a monolithic
entity but rather a society of selves with a centre of gravity, which acts
to bind the multiple waves, states, streams, and realms into something
of a unified organization; the disruption of this organization, at any of
its general stages, can result in pathology.
Such are a few of the multiple factors that a richly holistic view of the
Kosmos might wish to include. At the very least, any model that does
not coherently include all of those items is not a very integral model.
Ken Wilber
14. An Integral View
….. meaning that a subject might be at a
particular wave of consciousness, in a
particular stream of consciousness, in a
particular state of consciousness, in one
quadrant or another.
That means that the phenomena brought
forth by various types of human inquiry
will be different depending on the
quadrants, levels, lines, states, and types
of the subjects bringing forth the
phenomena.
A subject at one wave of consciousness
will not enact and bring forth the same
worldspace as a subject at another wave;
and similarly with quadrants, streams,
states, and types (as we will see in more
detail).
Subjects do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different states
of subjects bring forth different worlds.
Subjects do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different states of subjects bring forth different worlds.
15. AQAL Drivers
People do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different mindsets bring forth different worlds.
An Integral View
The point is simply that, in principle, cross-paradigmatic judgments are possible because
there is not simply one world against which paradigms compete for dominance, a kind of
king-of-the-hill battle that tosses all losers on the garbage dump, because there are no losers.
There is not one world over which all paradigms are fighting for supremacy, but many worlds
brought forth by different paradigms, worlds that can be eye-witnessed by the same subjects
if they submit to the discipline of the paradigms required to enact those worlds. And while
"the" world cannot contain many worlds, awareness can. And because we already know that
there are in fact many worlds, it follows that we already are standing in an awareness that has
cross-paradigmatic capacity, a capacity that can eventuate in metatheoretical overview, such
as the one offered by AQAL.
In short, for AQAL meta-theory, the basic levels of consciousness are a measure of the
"amount" of awareness or consciousness in any line, but consciousness itself is nothing; it is
not a presence but an absence, an opening, a clearing, a space of perspectives, within which
phenomena arise.
You can't have more or less of consciousness, but you can have more or less phenomena
allowed to arise in consciousness. When the entire Kosmos arises in your consciousness, that
is Kosmic consciousness—the top of the mountain, so to speak (except there is no top, only an
infinitely receding horizon that nonetheless gets bigger and bigger the more that you can
love).
16. AQAL Practitioners (psycho-dynamic)
People do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different mindsets bring forth different worlds.
An Integral View
"The one thing that you will have changed if you adopt an integral approach is
your own awareness, your own consciousness, your own map of human
possibilities, a map that has dramatically expanded from organic interventions to
caring for a human being in all of his or her extraordinary richness across an
entire spectrum that runs from dust to deity, dirt to divinity, even here and now."
"..... the crucial ingredient in any integral practice is not the integral tools
themselves—with all the conventional and unconventional methods—but the user
of those tools, the integrally informed practitioner, who have opened themselves
to an entire spectrum of consciousness—matter to body to mind to soul to spirit—
and who have thereby acknowledged what seems to be happening in any event:
body and mind and spirit are operating in self and culture and nature, and thus
health and healing, sickness and wholeness, are all bound up in a
multidimensional tapestry that cannot be cut into without fatal haemorrhaging."
Ken Wilber
17. Transformative and Translative communication
There are two meta-types of communication that can occur through any medium (dialogue, media, etc.):
- transformative communications, and
- translative communications
Transformative communication attempts to fundamentally change the way someone sees the world—so as
to foster sustainable behaviour. Many sustainability communications are transformative; they try to get people
to see things differently (such as the interconnectedness of nature and humanity) so that they choose different
actions.
Translative communication does the opposite. Striving to connect with people just as they are, motivating
and informing them in a way that is in alignment with how they already see the world. Translative
communication resonates with a person’s existing worldview, without requiring them to be a different person
in order to take action.
On the whole people rarely make major changes in how they see the world, it’s hard to trigger that change,
and the workings of that change process largely remain a mystery. As such, sustainability communications that
only focus on changing someone’s worldview has less chance of success. To reach people, and to honour
them, most sustainability communication should not encourage others to see the world anew, but rather align
the core messages with their existing worldview(s).
Translative communications for sustainability are developmentally-appropriate: they resonate with the
stage(s) of consciousness—and the correlative worldview(s)—of an audience. The more tailored sustainability
communication is to these different worldviews, the greater the chances of the communication actually ‘taking
hold’, so that it fosters sustainable behaviour.
People do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different mindsets bring forth different worlds.

20. No longer are cities defined by a single slowly evolving Worldview as
they have tended to be up until the failure of both modern and
postmodern Worldviews, to provide fair, equitable and resilient cities for
all.
Current trends in sustainable or smart cities have proven insufficient to
encompass and include the degree of complex thinking needed. A
complexity that defies individual or expert group planning.
A complexity that needs to involve us all in the development of self-
organising evolving cities which allow us to define who we are and what
we want from our co-created urban environment.
A city capable of holding various different cultures and Worldviews that
can be technically resilient and can be socially relevant and culturally
inclusive for all its citizens.
These workshops are part of the evolving process that defines the
actions we all need to be involved in if our cities are to be places we love
to be a part of.
22. Integral compared with Integrated
Integrated
Balance, equilibrium and harmony -
minimise tension and reduce chaos
Strives for:
• certainty
• order
• sureness
Places a lot of emphasis on harmony
within systems
Integrated strives for uniformity of
similar things
Leads to a constrained sense of reality
Integral (AQAL)
Emergent and healthy tension that holds
things together as they evolve
These tensions provide order in the chaos
Respects:
• uncertainty
• disorder
• insecurity
Respects creative, dynamic and evolving
nature of human and natural processes
Integral strives for a sense of unity in
differences (emphasises unity as much as
diversity)
Leads to a fuller sense of reality

46. “Scale-linking systems imply a holism in which everything influences, or potentially
influences everything else — because everything is in some sense constantly
interacting with everything else.
Nature is infused with the dynamical interpenetration of the vast and minute, an
endless dervish mixing. Matter and energy continually flow across scales, the small
informing the large and the large informing the small ...
Unless we work with nature’s own finely tuned scale-linking systems we endanger
the stability of life on the planet...
If we are to properly include ecological concerns within design, we must take
seriously the challenge offered by scale linking. We need to discover ways to
integrate our design processes across multiple levels of scale and make these
processes compatible with natural cycles of water, energy, and material.”
Van der Ryn & Cowan
48. Integral Methodological Pluralism
People do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different mindsets bring forth different worlds.
Second Tier Communication
Second-tier solutions to social problems involve sustained inquiries into ways that will allow each wave (e.g.,
tribal, traditional, modern,, post-modern and integral) to freely explore its own potentials but in ways that
those waves would not construct if left to their own exclusionary practices. In academic settings, integral
methodological pluralism allows the creation not so much of more cross-disciplinary studies (which confirm
each other in their first-tier prejudices) but in trans-disciplinary studies (which enact a new territory of
integral displays between old rivalries).
In general, to put it in ‘modern’ terms, any sort of Integral Methodological Pluralism allows the creation of a
multi-purpose toolkit for approaching today's complex problems- -individually, socially, and globally- -with
more comprehensive solutions that have a chance of actually making a difference. Or, to say the same thing
with post-modern terms, an Integral Methodological Pluralism allows a richer diversity of interpretations of
life's text to stand forth in a clearing of mutual regard, thus marginalizing no interpretation in the process.
On an individual scale, the same approach can be applied to one's own profession, converting it into a
practice of integral law, integral medicine, integral business, integral education, integral politics, integral
ecology, integral psychotherapy and family practice, and so on. …….. Most of the tools to do all of the above
already exist (i.e., the MP of the IMP are already out there). All that is required, at least to get started, are a few
integrating principles to initiate the "integral" part of the IMP.
These heuristic principles suggest simple ways to practice on those practices already out there, thus quickly
converting any given practice into an integral practice. Let's look at three such integrative principles as
examples.
The Essence of Integral Metatheory:
1. Everybody Is Right but partial
2. Subjects do not perceive worlds but enact them.
3. Non-exclusion

68. Transformative and Translative communication
People do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different mindsets bring forth different worlds.
There are two meta-types of communication that can occur through any medium (dialogue, media, etc.):
- transformative communications, and
- translative communications.
Transformative communication attempts to fundamentally change the way someone sees the world—so as to
foster sustainable behaviour. Many sustainability communications are transformative; they try to get people to
see things differently (such as the interconnectedness of nature and humanity) so that they choose different
actions.
Translative communication does the opposite. Striving to connect with people just as they are, motivating and
informing them in a way that is in alignment with how they already see the world. Translative communication
resonates with a person’s existing worldview, without requiring them to be a different person in order to take
action.
On the whole people rarely make major changes in how they see the world, it’s hard to trigger that change,
and the workings of that change process largely remain a mystery. As such, sustainability communications that
only focus on changing someone’s worldview has less chance of success. To reach people, and to honour
them, most sustainability communication should not encourage others to see the world anew, but rather align
the core messages with their existing worldview(s).
Translative communications for sustainability are developmentally-appropriate: they resonate with the stage(s)
of consciousness—and the correlative worldview(s)—of an audience. The more tailored sustainability
communication is to these different worldviews, the greater the chances of the communication actually ‘taking
hold’, so that it fosters sustainable behaviour.

Psychological quadrant
o Use a variety of engagement techniques,
including rhetoric, argument, artistic approaches
and storytelling, to reach individuals “where they
are” and encourage individual participation
o Use of visioning exercises to make the impact of
climate change more tangible for individuals
and to link it to their phenomenological “sense
of place”, e.g. explore how it would feel to have
different birds, insects and plants appearing and
familiar ones disappearing
Behavioural quadrant
o Offer citizen participants access to the empirical
evidence for climate change and data on
impacts of alternative responses through invited
experts
o Provide a physical environment conducive to
creative deliberation and a facilitator whose
behaviours encourage participation and
creativity
Cultural quadrant
o Encourage discursive contestation through
active facilitation and formation of small groups
with shifting membership
o Develop images and narratives of the future to
draw out the normative commitments of the
discourses represented in each forum.
Systemic quadrant
o Use information and communication
technologies to connect the forums with experts
in other locations and with each other
o Provide analysis of barriers and opportunities
for climate change response associated with
technological, economic and social systems

70. Integral begins with a recognition that we are evolving
through growth stages in individual consciousness and
culture.
Each of these stages has something important to offer: a
dignity, insight and capacity, which shines most brightly
when combined, or integrated, with the dignity, insights
and capacities of other stages.
This integration creates more than the sum of its parts,
giving rise to new emergent capabilities.
These capabilities include the ability to harmonize
previously conflicting perspectives and worldviews and
to see and enact solutions that have not been seen or
tried before.

diversity in what data you are gathering and
how you are gathering it, that you can

SECOND-PERSON DATA COLLECTION
• At the Evaluation Pod meetings and
Development Evaluation (DE) meetings
generate discussion and reflection through
prompting with skillful DE questions. Then,
harvest the insights and doing pattern-
finding; that is where indicators come in.
• Community Liaison carry out this pattern-
finding afterwards then reflect back to the
other participants later.
• During the DE sessions, do some group
pattern-finding with indicator tables written
on flip-charts, and participants use post-it
notes to tag where in the spectrum they
would say the outcome was achieved. This
is based on participant-observation and is
co-generated in a focus-group style
meeting.
FIRST-PERSON DATA
COLLECTION
• To generate thick descriptions on
these indicators (about how and
why changes occurred as they
did):
• use more in-depth reflective
questions posed within one of the
activities, such as a qualitative
question in a survey
• or by doing key-informant
interviews with a sample of the
target audience.

THIRD-PERSON DATA
COLLECTION
• Build in content from the
indicator table into the feedback
forms, proposal questions, grant
reports, forum retrospectives, etc.
• This will generate actual numbers
along the 1-5 spectrum for these
indicators, which can be
quantified and used in evaluation
analysis and reporting.
• Any thing you quantify (numbers
of participants, proposals or multi
sector tables) can be useful to
analyze and include.

At the heart of our approach is The MetaImpact Framework, which measures 4
Types of Impact with 10 Types of Capital which produce 4 Bottom Lines.

MetaIntegral is a global transdisciplinary design firm. We support visionary leaders, teams,
and organizations to Be IMPACT. To do this we draw on and integrate a number of theories
and their associated practices including embodiment theory, design theory, integral theory,
and developmental theory. As a result we help you thrive in complexity – transforming the
world – from an embodied place of presence and purpose. We love to co-create with you –
your events, products, services, books, business models, and business ecosystems among
other things.
MetaIntegral Capital is the branch of MetaIntegral that is dedicated to the design of wisdom
economies – which are accounting systems that integrate multiple types of impact, multiple
forms of capital, and multiple bottom lines. This site is devoted to sharing with you
our MetaImpact Framework, which lies at the heart of our approach to preserving the
wholeness of individuals and systems.
www.metacapital.net
Second Tier Program Evaluation
79. Over the last 30 years various individuals have
created multiple capital frameworks which
include anywhere between 3 and 20 different
types of capital.
We’ve done an integrative meta-analysis of over
a dozen of these frameworks to identify what are
the most important forms of capital to include in
an expanded framework and how might we
combine them into an elegant and intuitive
framework – one that not only includes essential
types of capital but highlights the different kinds
of relationship between these capitals.
In 2011 the International Integrated Reporting
Council (IIRC) began a multi-year global
initiative to develop an expanded model of
capital.
Through their process they identified six types of
capital that should be included in an integrated
report.
We have included all six of these in our model
(they are identified with an asterisk after their
name in our model).
In addition to these six we have included four
more that our analysis indicates are necessary
for a comprehensive assessment of value
creation.
Then using Integral Theory we have organized
these into four quadrants.
10 Types of Capital
www.metacapital.net
Second Tier Program Evaluation
80. Clear Impact
One of the most common forms of impact is Clear Impact, which measures
change in stakeholder performance. Many businesses and organizations
include various metrics to assess this area of impact (e.g., skill assessments,
analytics, observation tools, and various KPIs). What all these metrics have in
common is the focus on objective criteria to track behavior and performance.
These four types of impact
combine to create a
comprehensive model
of impact …High Impact
The other main form of impact is High Impact, which measures change in
stakeholder systems (e.g., supply chains, cash flow, customer engagement) .
Many businesses and organizations include various metrics to assess this area
of impact (e.g., environmental impact assessments, financial impact
assessments, input indicators, and various KPIs). What all these metrics have
in common is the focus on interobjective or systemic criteria to track
organizational and market dynamics.
Wide Impact
Over the last decade it has become more common for organizations to
include Wide Impact, which measures change in stakeholder relationships.
With forms of network analysis and social mapping there have emerged
various metrics to assess this area of impact (e.g., 360 Assessments,
relationship mapping, interviews, and social impact assessments). What all
these metrics have in common is the focus on intersubjective criteria to track
the quality and quantity of relationships and their influence.
Deep Impact
Arguably, one of the most important forms of impact is Deep Impact, which
measures change in stakeholder experience. There is a growing awareness
among many businesses and organizations that this form of impact needs to
be included. Various metrics are used to assess this area of impact (e.g., self-
evaluations, psychometrics, satisfaction surveys, and happiness inventories).
What all these metrics have in common is the focus on subjective criteria to
track somatic, emotional, and psychological dimensions of experience.
4 Impacts
www.metacapital.net
Second Tier Program Evaluation
81. The 10 Capitals and their forms of
measurement combine into 4 Bottom
Lines. These include the common triple
bottom line of Profit, People, and Planet
but also adds a 4th – Purpose. While a
number of 4 bottom line models have
been proposed – some of which even
include Purpose as a fourth – our
approach to having 4 bottom lines is
distinct in at least two ways.
First, the common bottom lines of Profit,
People, and Planet are often exclusively
defined in terms of what we would call
High Impact – with a focus on the systems
involved. In contrast to this we redefine
each of these bottom lines in a more
holistic and integrative fashion – building
on the important work of previous uses
but avoiding a reductive approach to
these bottom lines.
Second, we place the four bottom lines
around our four quadrant model in a way
that highlights specific relationships
between the bottom lines. For example,
each bottom line shares 2 or 3 forms of
capital as part of its constitution. This
enables an important form of integration
between all four bottom lines.
Together these 4 bottom lines
combine to form the MetaImpact
Framework.

82. "Systems theorists are fond of saying that systems theory deals with the
“whole of reality” and thus it covers all the holistic bases. For example,
they point out that dynamic systems theory can even be used to
successfully describe the traffic patterns in large cities. And that is true—
the flow patterns of the automobiles follow specific patterns that
systems theory captures well.
But systems theory cannot tell you if the driver (i.e., the intentionality)
of a particular automobile is motivated by Red, Amber, Orange or
Green values, and so on—and yet those interior domains contain the key
not only to much of human existence and motivation, but to all of the
feelings of sentient beings throughout the planet. If all we do is
describe the traffic patterns of sentient beings—using ecology, systems
theory, chaos and complexity theory— then we have indeed reduced all
first-person consciousness to third-person objects, its, and artefacts: we
have killed all culture and consciousness."

They have all the human comforts that can be manufactured and

neophyte in a subjectivistic, humanistic World. They have achieved the
good life but at a price. They are envied - perhaps respected - but not

cost them health, family affection, self-respect and what they now

96. People do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different mindsets bring forth different worlds.
Development occurs through the interplay between person and
environment, not just by one or the other. It is a potential and can
be encouraged and facilitated by appropriate support and
challenge.
The depth, complexity, and scope of what people notice can
expand throughout life. Yet no matter how evolved we become,
our knowledge and understanding is always partial and
incomplete.
As development unfolds, autonomy, freedom, tolerance for
difference and ambiguity, as well as flexibility, reflection and skill
in interacting with the environment increase, while defences
decrease.
Overall, worldviews evolve from simple to complex, from static to
dynamic, and from egocentric to socio-centric to world-centric.
Each later stage in the sequence is more differentiated,
integrated, flexible and capable of functioning optimally in a
world that is rapidly changing and becoming more complicated.
People's stage of development influences what they notice or can
become aware of, and therefore what they can describe,
articulate, influence, and change.
The main reason that learning is as slow as it is, is that learning
means giving up ideas, habits, and values. Some of the old
“learning” that has to be given up or “unlearned” was useful in the
past and is still useful to some of the people in the society. Some of
the things that people have to unlearn are traditions that are dear
to people, and that may be part of their personal character
development. Some of what needs to be forgotten are ways of
living that still have important values to people.

as such, and when we are reminded of it in retracing our
steps back to indicators, we find little more than a mirror-to-
mirror image of ourselves and the world.
In contrast with what is commonly assumed, a description,
when carefully inspected, reveals the properties of the
observer. We observers, distinguish ourselves precisely by
distinguishing what we apparently are not, the world."

100. Key to an Integral approach to urban design
is the notion that although other aspects of
urban life are important, people (sentient
beings), as individuals and communities, are
the primary ‘purpose’ for making cities
thriveable. All other aspects (technology,
transport & infra-structure, health, education,
sustain-ability, economic development, etc.)
although playing a major part, are
secondary.
Urban Hub Series
These books are a series of presentations for
the use of Integral theory or an Integral
Meta-framework in understanding cities and
urban Thriveability.
Although each can stand alone, taken
together they give a more rounded
appreciation of how this broader framework
can help in the analysis and design of
thriveable urban environments.
