| Summary |
"This book presents one of the first truly integrative models of consciousness, psychology, and therapy. Drawing on hundreds of sources - East and West, ancient and modern - Wilber creates a psychological model that includes waves of development, streams of development, states of consciousness, and the self, and follows the course of each from subconscious to self-conscious to superconscious."--BOOK JACKET |
