He was not open to this idea and I was reminded of Wilber's "Pre/Trans" fallacy in which the rational mind interprets "trans-rational" as "pre-rational".

quote 

Beyond Romanticism

Both The Atman Project (1980) and Up From Eden (1981) represented a major new phase in Ken’s work—the shift to Wilber-2, marked by a transition away from the retro-romantic idealization of the past and toward a new evolutionary view of increasing goodness and wholeness. Ken describes this period as one of the most difficult theoretical transitions he has ever made in his entire career, not only because it initially seemed to flip some of his earlier work on its head, but also because it cut against the prevailing view of human history people had at the time. This view was shared not only by the religious, but also by academics and anthropologists who would often glorify primitive cultures and portray them as idealized “noble savages” who eschewed warfare and lived in perfect balance with nature. In other words, that we are born in an enlightened state, then lose that state somewhere along the way, and then have to work to get back to our original state of enlightened purity.

Exploring The Embodiment of Turquoise

https://integrallife.com/event/exploring-the-embodiment-of-turquoise-2/2024-08-01/

Join us for a practical, community oriented journey exploring the genuine embodiment of Turquoise in our daily living. What does it really mean to embody such views? Together we’ll take the map provided by the philosophical giants of our time and prior, and look to the territory itself. No matter your cosmic location in this very moment, we all have the capacity to see and share insights together on our unfolding wisdom, growing and evolving together toward the later stages of evolution. We’ll explore the interaction and integration of multiple lines of development, including the less chartered areas of moral and emotional life in the post-post-post modern realm. And most importantly we’ll be aiming for grounding in the concrete realities of daily life, ceasing our suffering and liberating ourselves from our constructs.
