Wilber describes the Big Three through a few aspects
of these crucial dimensions:
I
(Upper Left): Consciousness, subjectivity, self,
and self-expression (including art and aesthetics); truthfulness, sincerity, irreducible
and immediate lived awareness; first person accounts.
We
(Lower
Left): Ethics and morals,
worldviews, common context, culture, intersubjective meaning, mutual understanding,
appropriateness, justness; second person accounts.
It
(Right
Hand): Science and technology,
objective nature, empirical forms (including brain and social systems); propositional
truth (singular and functional fit); objective exteriors of both individuals and
systems; third-person accounts.
(Wilber,
K. 1998 'The Marriage of Sense and Soul: Integrating Science and Religion')
Some
other aspects and manifest forms are collected here.
