Integral Nondualism
When I talk about integral theory, I often begin with either the four-quadrant model or the developmental paradigms of consciousness, largely based on Ken Wilber’s work.

You have entered the place that is no place, the time out of time, the space beyond space. You have journeyed, or perhaps tripped, into the abyss and through the Void. Your Destiny has been waiting for you here.

You have died to the old to be reborn in the new. You now experience Death and rebirth again and again in the ongoing evolution of creation. You have received the mark (🜊) which bestows salvation.

Like a snake shedding its skin, your past is falling away and you are emerging anew. You have pierced the veils of separation and ignorance. You are Resurrected into a new aeon or cycle of existence.

You are experiencing entrapment. You seem to be stuck in contradiction and paradox. The Devil symbolizes bondage. Your task is to take ownership of your role in your circumstances, and thereby liberate yourself.
