Average Mode of Consciousness vs Most Advanced Mode of Consciousness

Description

Jennifer Gidley:

"A feature of Wilber’s (1996c) evolutionary approach is that he traces what he calls “two parallel strands of evolution: the evolution of the average mode of consciousness and the evolution of the most advanced mode of consciousness (p. 339). He also claims “the true shaman — was the first great voyager into realms of the superconscious (p. 75). Although Wilber claims that, as far as he knows, such anapproach has never been explicitly followed before (p. 75), as we have seen, Steiner’s narrative is underpinned by a similar view."
