As Wilber stated in "Bodhisattvas are going to have to become politicians", over the years his thinking has inevitably lead to a political theory. As early as Up from Eden (1981), he wrote about "Republicans, Democrats and Mystics", thus looking for a third way compared to the two generally accepted political options in America, which acknowledges the dimensions of depth and psychological growth.

Teal Politics” How is the Polis organized on a “Teal level”? What forms could “integral Politics” take? - Institute for Global Integral Competence. Laloux provided us with beautiful insights into the principles and practices of Teal organizations, which involve people voluntarily working together at specific goals.
However, the functioning of the public sphere(s) of life, from local neighbourhoods to the global political systems, raises a number of specific questions. Politics has to organize or provide a framework for the life of the whole community, regardless of the degree of agreement or disagreement of its members. It has to deal with issues of power, authority, normativity, legality, and the resolution of conflicts. Even if there has been a long way since Hobbes’ Leviathan (1651), the modern State and the modern State system remain the main referents in this discussion, despite issues of globalization on one end and neomedievalism or fragmentation of the State construct on the other.

"Integral Politics and the Evolution of Consciousness and Culture" by McIntosh, Steve - Tikkun, Vol. 23, Issue 4, July/August 2008. I HAVE ALWAYS IDENTIFIED MYSELF AS A "SPIRITUAL PROGRESSIVE," but I think it is possible to be both "spiritual" and "progressive" while continuing to cherish the economic and personal freedoms that are an indelible part of America's "capitalist" system.
Nevertheless, I appreciate the sentiments and concerns being expressed by Rabbi Michael Lerner and other writers for Tikkun Magazine. At the same time, I'm also disappointed by the relative failure of progressive politics to make much of a positive difference in America during this decade. As I've thought about what can be done to improve the "political condition" of our country, I've come to see how every problem in the world is, at least in part, a problem of consciousness-a result of worldviews that are no longer adequate to the challenges of our time. So it follows that the solution to almost every problem involves the raising of consciousness.
The word "postmodern" is, of course, a battleground of meaning. Integral Politics and the Evolution of Consciousness and Culture. J U LY / A U G U S T 2 0 0 8 W W W.

Today, Americans are facing a 2020 election that will decide whether the reality TV-star turned Twitter tyrant and racist, xenophobic, climate change-denying wannabe autocrat will get another term. The importance of this fact for economics, healthcare, education, and social justice is inestimable; the impact on ecological sustainability when there seems not to be a moment to spare to fight climate change might spell doom for billions of humans and unfathomable numbers of other creatures on this planet for future generations.
Give me one moment for preaching. How does one individual fight when faced with dark times like these? Over and over, most of us as individuals encounter futility, hardship, and exasperation in our efforts to really make a difference concerning problems so vast, complex, and multi-dimensional.

Integral Politics: A Summary of Its Essential Ingredients by Ken Wilber [Editor’s Note: The following is the last installment of three of the middle chapters from Book Two of a work-in-progress, The Many Faces of Terrorism, a trilogy referred to as the “terrorism trilogy.”
Taken together, these three chapters outline an Integral Political Theory, which is much further detailed in the trilogy itself. But all the essentials are here, and especially in this particular chapter. Integral Politics. Also published at Integralworld.net See also my follow-up essay – Panarchy: The Integral Social Matrix Twelve years into the new millennium we bear witness to the ever more violent death throes of the current political and economic order.
What will rise from the ashes will be the defining question of our time and will determine whether humanity will suffer through another century of war, death, destruction, and tyranny; or if the people will find it in themselves to transcend this emerging “New World Order,” to overcome it and institute something else in it’s place. Something that honors the inherent rights of all men and women to live their lives in peace and freedom, and to reach their fullest potential.
In the many years that I have read Ken Wilber’s excellent insights into the human consciousness, into spiritual development, into culture, into the very human soul, I have been consistently blown away. Integral Politics. “Integral” denotes a cutting edge level of human development that less than 10% of adults in the developed world have attained, although that percentage continues to grow.
Integral politics is a term that is used to described pursuing politics by emphasizing the capacity of people at an integral level of development to see the merits of both the right and the left with a superior capacity to weave together more optimal political solutions that honor both left and right and connect well with people at every level of development while holding a more world centric sensibility than most left or right positions.
The beginning of integral politics was reflected in the “third way” political movement that has lost momentum, which may very well re-emerge in some other framing. Home - Institute for Cultural Evolution. Politica integral. Boomeritis es el título de un libro reciente de Ken Wilber. El autor ha querido darle al texto la forma de una novela. Es la primera novela de Wilber, aunque no el único libro en el que adopta formatos diferentes al ensayo. “Gracia y coraje” fue su primera incursión en géneros literarios más personales. El “Diario”, pese a su carácter ensayístico, fue una excelente ocasión para volver a acercarnos a un discurso más biográfico. Boomeritis, que estaba destinado a ser una crítica del postmodernismo y su influencia en la vida académica, acabó adoptando este curioso formato.
La Primera Parte del libro está consagrada a introducir al lector en el punto de vista integral. Wilber ya ha presentado en otros de sus libros la “Dinámica Espiral” y no vamos a exponer aquí el sofisticado y práctico sistema de análisis socio-cultural puesto a punto por Beck y Cowan.

The Integral ‘Third Way’: A comprehensive view of Integral Politics and AQAL.
Many have argued the importance of a ‘Third Way’ in politics. Right from Bill Clinton to Tony Blair to all the sociologists and political ideologists, every one wants a ‘Third Way’ or a way that is better, higher and can last longer than the existing system. This way could be obtained by growing up to a new or higher level of politics or could be achieved through regression (going back to an older stage). Whatever be the case, a ‘Third Way’ has become the need of the hour. Occupy Integral!
