Corey deVos is at the heart and center of Integral Life, the organization that revolves around the work of Ken Wilber. Corey first became passionate about Integral Theory
at the age of 19, and in this lively conversation, he is clearly every bit as passionate about the actuality and the promise of Integral today, nearly 30 years later. Here, Corey gives a terrifically lucid explanation of what the term Integral encompasses: a stage of psychological development, a description of Ken Wilber’s life’s work, and a comprehensive map that comes alive for people, guiding their way and making sense out of enormously complex issues. Corey also describes Integral as a gateway between two massive phases in human history — the “adolescent” phase of collective development now starting to fall behind us, and an integrated phase quite possibly ahead. Corey infuses the complex topics under discussion — the Integral metatheory, social issues that never seem to get resolved, human evolution
itself — with optimism and enthusiasm, clarity and light, a testament to his own embodiment of Integral consciousness. At Integral Life, Corey co-hosts The Ken Show
(with Ken Wilber), applies Integral to social issues like racism
, gun violence
, and justice
in his podcast series, and excels at finding creative ways
of translating the complexities of Integral Theory into easy-to-understand nuggets of information
. This conversation is a brilliant, beautiful illumination of the Integral vision, covering how Integral has evolved and describing what it can do for our future. Recorded on November 10, 2022.
