Its not purely theoretical, if that's what you mean. His brand of empiricism
resembles Pirsig's in that sensory experience is not the only kind of valid
empirical experience. The levels of consciousness described by Wilber is
certainly based on data, even if it is not seen with the eye of flesh. Its
based on the reports of countless spiritual explorers, the findings of
dozens of developmental psychologists, and other sources a reasonable person
can respect. There are many theories about it, but they are based on actual
experience. Wilber tries to bring all the various theories together and
essentially uses that to paint an evolutionary metaphysics very like the
MOQ, except with a lot more detail. (20 books instead of 2)

Hello dmb,
Great post. I agree with Wilbur's overview.
But when transpersonal consciousness and the spiritual domain are mentioned
i become nervous. I don't understand what these terms mean? They may not
mean what i assume they mean in Wilbur's quote?
For Wilbur, is transpersonal consciousness theoretical? Is the spiritual
domain a theory?
All the best,
Mark
