Ken Wilber Online: Waves, Streams, States, and Self--A Summary of My Psychological Model:

The amount of theory and research now being devoted to the study of consciousness is rather amazing, given its history of neglect in the previous decades. As encouraging as this research is, I believe that certain important items are still missing from the general discussion of the role and nature of consciousness. In this essay, I would therefore like to outline what I believe is a more integral model of consciousness, not to condemn the other approaches but to suggest ways in which their important contributions can be further enriched by a consideration of these neglected areas.
