Daniela explores a thought-provoking question central to the Integral community: What is the relationship between the popular, Teal stage idea of creating a “religion that is not a religion” and the simplicity and depth of classical spiritual traditions? She emphasises the foundational importance of Awakening for Integral Theory to come alive and be relevant for how culture evolves.

Daniela will explore how the Integral community in their quest to incorporate the unique focus areas of the various stages and states, like the scientific rationalism of Orange , the psychological introspection of Green and the power of psychedelic states, might still benefit from revisiting the timeless wisdom of traditional Mysticism.

Daniela proposes that Waking-up in the modern context should be considered as worth pursuing as it was in traditional Mysticism, not as a final destination but as the starting point for a continuous journey of evolutionary becoming, spiritual growth and collective Enlightenment.
