I would absolutely concur with Jon Freeman's statement that ...

 

"I have a profound desire for the whole world to begin seeing itself differently. I want us to end the habit of seeing ourselves through material eyes against the background of a material world so that we know ourselves afresh as beings of creative, world-forming information. This is way beyond the fluffy new-age notion of “we are all energy”. For me, this is where Integral Consciousness truly lies, in recognising how the interior and the exterior realities connect, both individually and collectively. All four quadrants are aspects of the universal “mind” – choices about our perspective, and which parts of the information we are engaging with."

 

"Knowing that, we have more chance of aligning ourselves with the world & with each other."

 

"It is the beginning of a new level of empowerment and responsibility for our existence."

God or Spirit in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Person

These three perspectives can also be seen in the worlds’ great religious traditions, as perspectives we can take on God or Spirit. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam understand and experience God primarily in 2nd person, as a great “Thou” or other. Buddhism understands and experiences the Divine as the great “I,” or my True Self. And Pantheistic traditions experience God or Spirit as Nature or the great “Web of Life.” In the integral model this doesn’t mean that there are three different “Gods.” It means there are three different understandings and experiences we can have of the One God or Spirit.
