Ken Wilber Integral Theory

Quadrants

Personal Outside: In the  upper-right quadrant we find the world of individual, exterior things: our material body (including brain) and anything that you can see or touch and observe, our ‘it’ space.

Personal Inside: In the  upper-left quadrant we find the world of our individual, interior experiences: our thoughts, emotions, memories, states of mind, perceptions, and immediate sensations, our ‘I’ space.

Collective Inside: In the  lower-left quadrant we find the world of our colletive, interior experiences: our shared values, meanings, language, relationships, and cultural background, our ‘we’ space.

Collective Outside: In the  lower-right quadrant we find the world of collective, exterior things: systems, networks, technology, government, and the natural environment, our ‘its’ space.
