A quick one while he's away

Just a few questions today.

1. Let's stick with Spiral Dynamics terminology for now: Each unfolding wave or level becomes more stable the more people enter it, and the longer it's been around. For example, there are no humans who don't go through beige. Now, given that green is a relatively recent phenomenon as a widespread cultural wave (1940+) and thus, doesn't have much 'morphic resonance', then is it possible for some people in some cultures to go straight from Orange to Yellow, given that 1) Green is early vision-logic and Yellow is late vision-logic, is this distinction arbitrary? and 2) Yellow, in theory, transcends and includes Green, so nothing of Green is left out. To my mind, this seems to be an anamoly in Integral theory. On the one hand, you can't skip stages (and you definitely can't skip gross/subtle/causal/ because all three are simultaneously present and don't 'emerge' from each other in the way other levels emerge out of each other) and then on the other hand you have unsettled kosmic habits (if Integrals are centre-of-gravity yellow, then yellow is just a little scratch in the dirt compared to the grand canyon of beige). Furthermore, in KW's post-metaphysical schema, Involution is not the exact unfolding of a given order, but merely the existence of future potentials, and given that the actual number of levels is relatively arbitrary (other than the widely accepted pre/rational/post) then will the emergence of Integral consciousness, which is by definition aware of all previous levels, facilitate certain individuals going more or less Orange->Yellow (or if you like, given that a contemplative practise is part of the Integral canon, will we see green jumping straight to Turquoise?) Now, I'm not suggesting this is desirable. I'm not a Green hater; I'll affectionately roll my eyes at the MGM (yes, I think it's real enough, and a real enough problem) but I recognize the massive good that Green does. I'm merely asking, given the way in which Integral theory is structured, is this a possibility?

2. One of the more prolific (and inscrutable) KW critics is Peter Collins. From what I understand of his work, he suggests that there is a more advanced form of cognition than vision-logic, which is better at understanding the process of differentiation and integration. Esentially, Collins suggests that we can apply this analysis to stages beyond the existential, and so the 'rupture' between KW's writing on the rational (analytical) and his writing on the transrational (poetic, phenomenological, occasionally hermeneutic) can be healed:

he [Wilber] undoubtedly has great knowledge of the Eastern mystical traditions.
he undoubtedly has great knowledge of the Eastern mystical traditions. However
unfortunately I find a marked discontinuity in his writings as between his
treatment of the spiritual and intellectual domains. Once again any asymmetrical
treatment of development - which by its very nature is dualistic - is strictly
incompatible with nondual spiritual awareness. Thus - in dynamic integral terms
- it is vital to show how the dual and nondual aspects of experience
increasingly interpenetrate especially at the "higher" stages of development. So
one purpose of a proper integral approach is to clearly expose, in the context
of development relationships, the arbitrary nature of all asymmetric
interpretations. This serves as the means by which one can gradually become free
of rigid attachment to such interpretations, which is necessary in preparing the
mind for a transformation in nondual spiritual awareness. So from a growing
integral perspective, spiritual contemplation increasingly interpenetrates with
refined intellectual inquiry and the very nature of an integral approach is to
consistently demonstrate the nature of this dynamic interaction.

So, your thoughts? (is my understanding of Collins correct, and can we applay some kind of cognitive understanding beyond vision-logic to the transrational?)

3. My brain got too excited, and I forgot the third question. Nice work brain.
