01 - Worldviews and Worldspaces

Towards A Deeper Life

Today’s episode focuses on the concepts of worldspaces and worldviews. A worldspace is “the sum total of stimuli that can be responded to (i.e., that have actual meaning or impact or registration)” (Ken Wilber, Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, 540, n13). And a worldview is the lens that helps us organize the large amount of information and sense data that we experience in a way that is meaningful and digestible.

We will explore how to connect with someone in a different worldspace, the limitations and influences of your own worldspace, and what entering a new worldspace looks and feels like.
