Integral Life | Integral Plays Video Games: Green (Pluralistic) @IntegralNaked | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Corey and Ryan take a look at the major stages of human development, using a series of 33 video games in order to illustrate the qualities and characteristics of each stage.
All of this allows you to not only observe these stages within you, but to actively inhabit, engage, and play with them as well.
In these clips we take a look at three primary characteristics for each game — the game’s content (what actually appears on the screen), the game’s theme (the perspective the story is being told from), and the actual gameplay mechanics themselves — each of which can come from a different developmental stage, as you will see in this series of videos.
You can find a full presentation of game clips, as well as film clips from each stage, here:

In this clip we are looking at the Green stage.
The Green Altitude began roughly 150 years ago, though it came into its fullest expression during the 1960’s. Green worldviews are marked by pluralism, or the ability to see that there are multiple ways of seeing reality. If orange sees universal truths (“All men are created equal”), green sees multiple universal truths—different universals for different cultures. Green ethics continue, and radically broaden, the movement to embrace all people. A green statement might read, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal, regardless of race, gender, class….” Green ethics have given birth to the civil rights, feminist, and gay rights movements, as well as environmentalism.
Interestingly, unlike most of the earlier stages, there do not seem to be any specific game genres that are strongly associated with the Green altitude. However, Green content and themes are very common in many of today's games. Watch as Corey and Ryan discuss some of these games: Animal Crossing, BioShock, Disco Elysium, and what was perhaps the prototypical postmodern game, Metal Gear Solid 2.

Watch the full discussion here:

What exactly do we mean by spirituality, and what do we mean specifically by “integral spirituality?” In this discussion, Nomali Perera presents a brief but vast array of ways in which we can explore this topic of integral spirituality. Her guests, longtime integral spiritual teachers and practitioners, Lama Pema Dragpa, Jeff Salzman & Rollie Stanich share their own inquiries and ideas of practices as well as answer questions from event attendees. At the end, you’ll also find a great integral anthem, “Universe Communion” by Stuart Davis, which beautifully captures the theme of integral spirituality.
Lama Pema Dragpa is a resident Dharma teacher at Padma Samye Ling (PSL) since 2004. Ordained as a lama, Dragpa graduated with honors in philosophy & religious studies from NYU in 2002, and is a senior editor of over 25 books on Buddhist philosophy & meditation.
Jeff Salzman co-founded the Boulder Integral Center, worked alongside Ken Wilber in the early to mid 2000s developing the Integral Institute, and has been the host of The Daily Evolver podcast for over 10 years. He also co-founded CareerTrack Training, an adult education company he and his partner built into an international organization producing over 3000. A long time spiritual practitioner in many traditions, he has a Masters Degree in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism from Naropa University.
Rollie Stanich was the co-director of the Integral Spiritual Center at Integral Institute in the mid 2000s and played a critical role in developing multiple events bringing together some of the best spiritual teachers of various traditions. He is the author of Integral Christianity: The Way of Embodied Love. Rollie Stanich grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He was awarded the University of Calgary’s highest scholarship for four consecutive years, and graduated with distinction from the Faculty of Management in 1990. Rollie is also working in the clean energy industry.
Nomali Perera has been in the field of leadership development coaching, facilitation and teaching since 2007. Nomali is a certified facilitator of Polarity Management, the Immunity to Change™ process, and an Integral Master Coach through Integral Coaching Canada. Nomali has also been a professional consultant in people development and training in Brazil and Mexico. She was a staff member of Integral Institute in the early to mid 2000’s and was a co-founder of the Boulder Integral Center.")
