Clean Up, Wake Up, Grow Up - Ken Wilber

Useful practices for transitioning from the 1st to the 2nd tier of human development.
We are continuing our big interview with philosopher Ken Wilber, the creator of Integral Theory and one of the key figures in the area of consciousness studies of our time.
In the following two videos we talk about useful practices for waking up, growing up, cleaning up, and showing up for life, i.e. for transitioning from the 1st onto the 2nd tier of human development.

    Cleaning up refers to heart, Growing up refers to intellect and Waking up refers to Self. Cleaning up is psychological, Growing up is philosophical and Waking up is spiritual. While cleaning up and Growing up make you sane, Waking up makes you a Saint. But in Vedic system, the three are hierarchical. You cannot grow up unless you clean up, and you cannot wake up unless you grow up sufficiently.

    I was a, "Zen Teenager" that ended up with severe PTSD and, "mild social displacement" due to being, "super woken up" in the contemplative sense (many hours on the mat, working through the Cloud of Unknowing/Ascent of Mt. Carmel, Vedanta) but not having adequate development in the, "showing up" and, "growing up" sphere. I'm so excited about these new developments as it seems like we can take, "the kids" and get them, "where they want to go" without the, "years of drug abuse and strained relationships" that can sometimes accompany the path. Instead of Dark Nights of the Soul we might have Bright Nights of Divine Kirtan. Hare Krsna. All glories to Her Divine Grace Srimati Sri Lekha Devi Dasi our beloved Siksa Guru and teacher. Life's now good. For now!

    Thank you again Ken. Your passion to bring insight/recommendations to/for human immaturity is understandable. Especially given the present engrained problems humanity, as a whole, have demonstrated thus far. It is "fair enough" to say, as a generalization, that the unconscious shadow is/has not been sufficiently dealt with by humanity, in any arena of life. And, yes!, also in the pursuit of religious and spiritual seekers who are often desperately needy because of thier feeling awareness of human problems and suffering. Thus deeply yearning for freedom. Seekers, who are either beginning students or advanced students or even adept practitioners, playing whatever roles within any old or new tradition/ culture/program, are often vulnerable to being unconsciously activated (making choices) and moved by these unconscious cyclical repetivtive universal/cosmic forces that define all beings (gross, subtle or causal). Adi Da's life and teachings and process were given and based upon and are precisely about the ego act, identity/experience/content/patterning (shadow play) that obstructs True Freedom (not about delusions, bypass or escape). I personally understand and responsibly practice beyond (in full excruciating detail) this "shawdow/light dynamic". It is a constant struggle and ordeal. Coined, comprehensively, as radical understanding of "the psycho biography of the ego" in relationship to the whole "esoteric anatomy of the body-mind-self", unique to each human being. This radical process in Reality Itself, practiced in detail via self- understanding, encompasses, embraces, takes responsibility for all of what you necessarliy, easily and clearly speak of here. Awakening growth and full Realization is not possible otherwise. There are deluded cultists who assume and pronounce otherwise... In equally necessary addition to what you elaborate on, Adi Da reveals the Source/ Context of Conscious Light that is Being-Reality Self, (all inclusive) radiating Love Bliss ("beyond" Witness, which is non exclusive of all arising) that enables, by illumination/transmision, constant and all prevading, True resonsibility and matured developmental freedom relative to all aspects of life and relationships, universally. It is also clear very few people were/are keen to embrace Adi Da's Heart Wisdom Way because it is real and a most difficult ordeal of growth, outgrowing and awakening and "selfless" service. This new and unique yoga that takes full responsibility for shadow and ego self transcendence, can only happen via awakened intuition, recognized Divine Self Condition which enables unqualified in love relatiinship to all beings and things. At Adi Da's time of death he indicated NO one had sufficiently responded to his work or teaching, nor tested and proved or authenticated what he brought into this world. Even all those who have ever responded to Adi Da and his life work have yet to fully understand and embrace, coopetatively test and prove or fully respect what he offered. Do you feel you have sufficiently responded in order to Radically understand your own shadow personna and activity? This question is being asked here in response to your not acknowledging the profound details within Adi Da's Teachings, that go into remarkable depth, around the matters addressed here in this interview. You open by stating this insight is absent on the world stage of processes offered. Yes, absent in terms of individual and cultural demonstration. Yet not absent as if there has never been any teacher or Realizer who elucidated these key matters of responsibility nor demonstrated this kind of humanly responsible religious, spiritual transcendental transfiguration or transformation process. This is simply not true. Adi Da has. I heart intuite you are aware of this....and are even attempting to carry forth with much of Adi Da's Teachings? Yet, without Adi Da, the "controversialsource", being consistently given due respect and gratefully acknowledged. Doing so without also drawing unbalanced negative attention to "his flaws". This error is a diservice to humanity. Especially seekers. My heart prayer is that you, by going beyond your own shadow impulses, are able to correct this deliberately public rebuke of Adi Da that you have chosen to put out into the world. ❤

But if you are looking for a book specifically about the practice, there's " integral life practice " it gives a good overview about the possibilities for practice.

    Ken really is a gift. I hope he lives another 15-20 years, that is to say, long enough to see the power of AI create mass enlightenment for the West, which is going to happen in that time frame, or it will never happen at all, and we will doom ourselves. Ken perfectly elucidates here what happened with many Eastern spiritual teachers who came to the West, and Western teachers too for that matter, who went astray so notoriously in the 1970s-80s (and still to some extent today). Chogyam Trungpa is the perfect example. There is no doubt that Trungpa had woken up to some extent. But he never cleaned up or grew up. His alcoholism and womanizing was excused by his disciples as "He never concealed his behaviour or said it was an example to follow". But now we know that he snorted a lot of cocaine. This he DID conceal from his disciplines, not least because it's illegal, and in the time when he was doing it, VERY illegal - if he'd been busted, he would have gone to prison forever, and destroyed his spiritual community. He also had a 15-year-old 'consort' (!) who he eventually tired of, and she killed herself. The guy was an asshole, and there is no excusing that kind of behaviour, no matter what claims to 'attainment' you may have. Trungpa was dead at 47. All of the excuses which he made to himself did not save him from the chemical effects of booze. His deluded wife claimed his death was due to diabetes, but his doctor made clear it was due to cirrhosis of the liver brought on by alcoholism. Trungpa maintained a remarkable clarity and equanimity through his dying process, according to his nurse, but then again, so do many people. He definitely had some degree of spiritual power, but again, so do many human trainwrecks. More importantly, imagine what he could have been if he'd have done everything that Wilber advises here. He might still be alive and teaching and contributing today. But he may have been too arrogant to listen to such 'Western' advice, which is its own problem to this day in Eastern spiritual communities.

    I like the way Ken thinks about the subject of waking up. The only thing that gave me pause was when he said that the awareness of or discovery of "shadow material" is only 100 years old. This is simply not true, at least not in the way we talk about other discoveries, such as electricity. We have known and talked 'shadow material' in many ways for millennia. It is an intuitive part of the human experience especially for those on the journey of waking up. Plenty schools of thought have talked about looking past our waking minds to understand our true beliefs in the ancient world. These beliefs are grounded in our experiences (i.e. trauma) and our interpretation of those experiences. Look towards the many sects of Buddhism for an example. We have made progress though of course and I believe this is what Ken points out. Freud popularized (in the West) the understanding that our childhood experiences shape our behavior. Moreover, modern neuroscience has shown us how the 'body keeps score.'

    The idea which is now (after Freud and Jung) expressed as 'projecting your shadow onto someone else' is present in some ancient sources. E.g.: "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not see the beam that is in your own eye?" (Luke 6:41). Also, the Old Testament story which the prophet Nathan tells king David (the story of the lamb: 2 Samuel 12:1-7): "David said to Nathan, “As the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die." (...) Then Nathan told David, “You are this man!" ".

    Agree with other comments; gratefulness! Thx for sharing! So interesting how the discovery of the process of growing up and cleaning up are so recent in human evolution. Ken often explains how no tradition has been able to really consider these processes up until now. I am wondering about practices such as approaching one's Kleshas ("mind poisons"), e.g. in the Vajrayana tradition. It seems to be a form of shadow integration. Or Tonglen, where the practice of feeling the emotions of another seems similar to the growing up practice of taking the role of the other. Perhaps these examples (from e.g. Tibetan Buddhism) approach growing up and waking up more from an energetic perspective rather than a psychological one? I'm curious how that fits together 🤔 Can it not be that some ancient teachings, at least in a way, address the cleaning up and growing up processes?

    @@alexmichelli3516Thank you for such an effort and really deep answer. But, as "His Story" will show in the future, and already did to some, the word "Slave" was created out of the first ethnic human group on earth which were enslaved. The Slavic people (Slavs) who are in fact the Caucasian type you just stated in you really good answer. The Slavs, thats were the name "Slave" derives from. "His Story" lies in a lot of things. The "one" who writes and wrote it, is and was the ruler of reality. But its time, that we humans understand, correct and than write our own story. A lot of things have been distorted to false narratives in the history which have led to many conflicts and chaos. Like today, everything "bad" or negative is pointed towards the "caucasian" type. Not directly, but subliminal. That is not fair. Most people would not even have the tools and technologies they use to criticize this ethnicity if they haven't invented it before. I know, that is a bit unfair and arrogant. And yes, there are a lot oft ethnic groups been shunned and destroyed by wrong and distorted stories of the history. Not only the Caucasians. But I am not in any shape or form someone who wants to create conflict in any way. Just have to correct wrong things narratives. And I am not stating, that Caucasians didn't traded slaves either. Just the general notion, that the "whites" or caucasians are the founders of slavery and have startet is just wrong. And a devastating belief. Africans were sold by africans, arabs and jews much longer before. And slavs much longer before that into north african countries, too. Just wanted to correct the wrong narrative and collective framing which is going on far too long. Not all bad things came from the "whites" or "caucasians". There are some today, who want you to believe in that. That why they call it "His Story". Whose story?^^ And yes, from a worldcentric point of view: We are all the same "structure" in just some different shapes and forms due to different environmental circumstances and influences.

    Yes, the shadow has been around since the profit souls (without it they would have no purpose) and the Vedic traditions etc, but thousands of years later the shadow's story has infiltrated collective consciousness to such a degree that it is tricky for us to see the light in the jungle of thorns. Luckily we do have access to great speakers (as in this video) and unlimited knowledge. Of course knowledge on it's own is insufficient - we need a practice of being the light of pure awareness to untangle ourselves from the illusion of what we are not (what we can see).

    Dr. Stephen Marmer : MATURITY It takes 50 years to overcome the first 20 !!! 'It's Time to Grow Up'. NEVER have i heard the challenges and requirements of GROWING UP explained so succinctly and earnestly in just 5 MINUTES without the INTEGRAL REFRAIN of (moving to) levels, levels, levels (though i use them too !) 5 Characteristics of MATURITY: 1. Taking control (of your own course) 2. Taking responsibility (obligations and fulfilling them) 3. Containing your emotion (don't lash out) 4. Having perspective (handle disappointments) 5. Achieving deep understanding (of other's perspectives) Reminds me of Robert Kegan's 'In Over Our Heads', 1994. The mental demands of modern life; the hidden curriculum. Love Ken Wilber, but psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Marmer is way better at explaining in an earnest and common sense way the demands of MATURITY. ...................................................................

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:23 🤔 En las transiciones culturales, como la actual, se necesitan prácticas útiles para ayudar a las personas a avanzar. 01:17 🌑 La "limpieza" se refiere a la integración de elementos ocultos o reprimidos en la psicología, como el material de la sombra. 03:05 🌪️ La proyección de rasgos de la sombra en otras personas es común y puede causar problemas interpersonales. 08:06 🪑 Reintegrar la sombra implica interactuar con los elementos proyectados, como tener un "monstruo" en una silla vacía. 12:13 🧘‍♂️ La práctica de "despertar" implica darse cuenta de la identidad más allá de las etiquetas y objetos perceptibles. 16:55 🤯 La "radical libertad" se encuentra en la conciencia pura y no identificarse con objetos o pensamientos. 20:45 🧠 Crecer implica tomar perspectivas de otros, avanzando desde el egocentrismo hacia el entendimiento de múltiples perspectivas. 25:11 📚 La educación integral en las escuelas puede ayudar a la sociedad a alcanzar estados de segundo nivel de conciencia, superando el etnocentrismo.

But why this is forced? As a human we are 90-95% negetive ,so that is the reason it would be applied phase by phase ...in the name of human development ? But there are some huge gaps, fundamental issue with the whole system. Welcome to world of AI and spirituality ...lot of things are forced and not real I would not get into technology,I can speak about it and I strongly believe we can create this AI,Matrix , Simulation world. My problem is with the rules and the philosophy,as in law of Nature,law of karma, reincarnation and karma ,real conciousness vs thought generated by Computer ,will human loose their real thought process and emotion ..it will be all done and controlled by artificial Mind ? It's no way conciousness but this technology tries to mimic conciousness,but it's a simple algorithm..
