"The Exterior is not the Lowest"

Integral Methodological Pluralism: The 8 Native Perspectives
Here is a chapter on Integral Methodological Pluralism, a revolutionary leap from Wilber's previous models, describing the 8 native perspectives (interior/exterior, individual/collective, inside/outside).
Wilber's great excerpts on Shambhala from Volume 2 of the Kosmos trilogy also provides on-line information about the zones, such as Excerpt C: The Ways We Are in This Together: Intersubjectivity and Interobjectivity in the Holonic Kosmos.
Integral Creatives finds that the distinction between zone 1/2 and between zone 3/4 useful in differentiating between structure (how we interpret from where we are developmentally) and content (what we are interpreting such as data, perception, feeling, thought etc.)
The difference between zone 5/6 and 7/8 are less applicable in our writing, as our writing is more focused on consciousness than the science of the material/exterior world or perspectives on the exterior world that would require that degree of dimensionality. We do feel that the advancements in science made by higher consciousness may better describe these zones.
