meditation such as laughter yoga.
My critical appreciation of Ken Wilber, his comprehensive
AQAL map and integral philosophy leads to an even more
comprehensive map, the dynamic mandala, which is a map of maps that complement
one another in a playful way of healing tolerance.
What is the connection between Ken Wilber and his AQAL map on
the one hand, and health (through healing
thinking) and
laughter on the other hand? The AQAL map includes thinking
that is healing to some extent. I emphasize, however,
modes of thinking and logic that are healing to a still
greater extent. And I suggest that ultimately we have to
go beyond all thought and thinking. Dance and laughter are two easily approachable doors that
can lead from the thinking mind to what is called no-mind
in Zen-Buddhism and Mind (with a capital M, that is, Big
Mind) in Tibetan Buddhism.
