Fourteen assumptions underlying integral development:
- man functions as a system
- man functions as a unique system
- the elements of the human organism interact
- the human system is self-regulating
- the human system summarizes all of the required needs
- if man fails to provide the desired input
- a man will be in balance and harmony
- man seeks in the main to increase his complexity
- as man grows towards ever higher levels of complexification
- needs for system balancing increases
- Man’s principle source of both complex inputs and feedback is in relationships with other men
- growing can be thought of as a process of ‘letting go’
- a sequence of stages common to all
- small corrections may sometimes yield large gains
