When Christopher Colombo had put to sea half a millennium ago, his way on the surface of our planet led him nearly around the globe. As a result, more
and more people have realised space as a part of their consciousness of reality. Old view of life, considering earth as a disc limited by a yawning brink, was not the only thing getting lost, essentials could be
preserved under strain only. New cognition and powerful size were obtained, objectivity and strategy had entered people’s lifes organising it in a new way. The old world had declined – a new world came up.
A survey to be followed in GEBSER’s work. Evolution of man developing in ascendant dimensions from one world to another, from origin to present, from
archaic to magic, to mythic, to mental, to aperspective world as Gebser called it, from nilth to fourth dimension.
He analogued evolutionary development of man with the individual development, and it is very fascinating to watch how man’s development in a whole is
repeated in every man. Man is really entering worlds of dimensionally conditioned consciousness and is leaving them again for the next one. Every dimension has its own laws, sciences, boundaries and necessities, and
none can be skipped or left out. Each world needs to be experienced and lived consciously.
Not before the seventh month, the brain of an embryo is developing the level for entering and co-ordinating in time. Such a pre-time stage is known for
the whole of mankind as ‘paradise’. If you visualise the unborn how it moves nearly weightlessly in the amniotic waters, you are almost capable to imagine a being of the nilth dimension and to feel what this
experience was like and still is.
GEBSER is rendering diaphanous all these worlds in their dimensions, and the longer you are living with this reading, the more it becomes crystal clear
around you and inside yourself.
KEN WILBER even is enlarging these structures and develops an extremely complex system dealing very distinctively among other with man’s pre-natal
periods of time. In some foetal-embryonic stages of our growth, for a short time, we reveal biological structures like gills and fins for example, and are possibly preserving the corresponding structures of
consciousness during our entire life, often without knowing it, never minding its activation later on, respectively realising its origin.
At the end of the many books he has written, he is giving awesome lists of references. Most of all, this man has developed himself together with his
system, in other words, he felt free to correct himself what results in his system as Wilber I-II-III. Everyone who wants to knowing exactly what evolution in the light of integral consciousness is about, may find
materials and insight unparalleled in KEN WILBER.
Miraculously, besides evolution, there is involution also. Involution is - viewed in a space-timely way - encountering evolution all the time or is
always there where evolution is going on actually. More simply put, involution is the everlasting story of creation, not conditioned by any dimensional laws we are able to know. We as humans feel deep respect and
hope for deliverance from the conditions of our present world when we are facing something almighty and incomprehensible as creation. Imagine the origin of creation in a simply infinite number of dimensions.
Probably they are as much as are necessary. If something shall manifest, involution will perform even down to nilth dimension and will let it come into being and let it appear, and gives area and time to all.
Evolution continues from origin to present, from matter -> to life -> to conscious man, no matter in which dimension or world he may feel at
home. In his perception, he is cultivating informations for obtaining survival and beyond it, creatively, if he is aware of their relevance and realising it. Looking at evolution like this, as realised information,
it guides us from the material level into the depth of the immaterial, to the pure spirit, to the lesser and lesser matter-bound.
In particle physics, new particles are existing only for splits of millionth of seconds and only this split of time is left for research.
In quantum physics, the partition of subject and object does practically not exist any longer, for the observer is recognised and actively fixed into
reality: He is changing it by his perception, by his touching impulse, which cannot admit any repetition with the same result. Quantum physics manifests already some laws of the next world/step, the fourth
dimension. The more we advance rationally and scientifically, the more these new sciences conflict with the sciences hitherto. The need of immaterial information rises up according to the diminishing material
aspect. Therefore, involution brings about every evolution by providing the required information.
Ascending evolution starts from dimensions 0-1-2-3, according to Gebser, and builds up integral consciousness here and now in the fourth dimension by
way of perception and awareness of all completed worlds, free of space and time, thus descending involution is at work from a very high dimensionality into all dimensions beneath it and is building there ‘what the
world is holding together in its deepest inner’, hence its very basic structures.
The integral philosophy of Sri Aurobindo roots from the same time as Gebser’s. It is based on the last ancient high culture still vivid: India. Sri
Aurobindo makes use of her over 5000 years old information technology opening up its integral functionality for all human beings and rendering it relevant and experiential for them.
