The Highest Stages of Human Flourishing

“How do you love the person you don’t understand? That question is the heart of development.” – Alexander Love In this expansive and illuminating conversation, developmental coach and shadow work facilitator Alexander Love returns to Integral Edge to guide us through one of the most important — and least understood — frontiers of human development: the MetAware tier. Building on Terry O’Fallon’s STAGES model, Alexander and host Keith Martin-Smith explore how meaning-making evolves across six distinct person perspectives, each with its own epistemological frame, relationship to space and time, and capacity for self-reflection. Moving from early concrete stages into the subtle and post-integral realms, they reveal how development is not just about personal growth — it’s a complete restructuring of reality itself. At the heart of this episode is a powerful distinction: states of consciousness (like boundlessness, nonduality, timelessness) can arise at any stage, but the way we interpret and integrate them depends on our developmental maturity. This makes the MetAware tier uniquely challenging — and liberating. As identities, maps, and meanings begin to dissolve, we are invited into a space where ontology and epistemology collapse into each other, and the self becomes a field rather than a point. The discussion unfolds with uncommon nuance and precision, covering: How each person perspective reorganizes the self in space and time The shift from identity-driven development to perspective-driven awareness Why 5.0 can feel like spiritual vertigo — and why that’s a good sign What 5.5 reveals about the constructed nature of all worldviews How 6.0 initiates the sacred dance between the Absolute and the Relative Why spiritual realization doesn’t always mean developmental maturity The difference between socially constructed reality and direct transpersonal knowing What it really means to “see through” the world — and why it can’t be faked Why complex language is often a clue to deeper integration, not confusion Whether you're a student of Integral Theory, a developmental coach, or a contemplative practitioner navigating your own unfolding, this episode offers rare insight into the architecture of inner transformation. Alexander’s compassionate brilliance makes even the most esoteric concepts feel embodied, accessible, and immediately relevant to the human journey.
