Awakened Wholeness recognizes that true transformation requires both awakening (seeing through the illusions that create suffering) and wholeness (including and integrating all aspects of our reality).
This isn't about transcending our human experience but about recognizing that our humanity itself is already, always awake, whole, sacred.
Awakening invites us to see through our constructions and identifications to the clear, open awareness that is our true nature. Without this recognition, we remain trapped in projections, trying to change the world while fighting our own minds.
Wholeness calls us to embrace the full spectrum of human experience—our greatest potentials as well as our wounds, shadows, and the parts of ourselves we've learned to reject. Without this integration, we risk being split from the very life we're here to serve.
“Love says 'I am everything.' Wisdom says 'I am nothing.' Between the two, my life flows.”
These seven facets work together as an ecology of practices, each supporting and deepening the others. This comprehensive framework helps us navigate the profound transformation our world requires.
The development of our capacity to witness and see through our mental constructions to the clear awareness that is always present. This isn't about achieving special states but about recognizing what we always already are—the open, empty, embracing awareness in which all experience arises and passes.
The recognition that our individual wholeness and our collective wholeness are inseparable. As we awaken and integrate as individuals, we contribute to the emergence of collective wisdom, intelligence, and capacity for transformation that transcends what any individual could achieve alone.
Our ability to move beyond polarization toward increasingly inclusive and nuanced understanding. As we mature, we develop greater capacity to hold paradox with clarity and compassion, seeing the partial truths within opposing perspectives while recognizing the larger wholeness that contains them all.
The full incarnation of our radiant uniqueness expresses itself through our bodies, our emotions, energy and subtle presence. This moves beyond intellectual knowing to the lived expression of our deeper selves through our unique form, truthfully and fluidly. Embodiment is where awakening meets the world.
The welcoming and inclusion of all aspects of ourselves and our experience our parts, shadows, traumas, and the full spectrum of what it means to be human. As we practice deep self-inclusion, our capacity for accepting others naturally expands. Our essence and gifts are often bound up in our suffering, making our wounds doorways to our wholeness.
Our capacity to be open and grounded in authentic relationship with ourselves, each other, and the world. True intimacy requires the ability to be both differentiated (knowing who we are) and unified (recognizing our essential interconnection). We are wounded in relationship and healed in relationship.
Our capacity to serve as unique expressions of the evolutionary impulse itself partnering with what wants to emerge through us rather than forcing outcomes from personal will. A deeper impulse of the soul, moving into compassionate expression, becomes a gift to the collective healing of our world.
Traditional approaches to change often focus on fixing problems or improving ourselves through effort and will. Awakened Wholeness recognizes that lasting transformation happens through a different process: the recognition and embodiment of wholeness and clarity of what we always already are.
As we embody this recognition, we release old patterns and step into a space of emergence, of play, novelty, and expression. As we do this work individually and collectively, we create the foundation for systems and structures that reflect our deepest understanding of interconnection and mutual care. These seven facets are equally about becoming what we already are and evolving into what we can become.
The framework provides a comprehensive map for navigating the profound transformations required at this historical moment. Whether you're working with personal growth, organizational change, or global transformation, these seven facets offer guidance for approaches that honor both the depth of who we are and the complexity of what we're called to address.
Awakened Wholeness isn't just a model—it's a living invitation to remember who you truly are and to allow that recognition to transform how you show up in the world. It acknowledges that we are "something the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something the whole ocean is doing" (Alan Watts).
This work recognizes that you are both a unique individual expression and an inseparable part of the larger wholeness that is awakening to itself through countless forms. Your personal transformation and the healing of our world are not separate processes but different aspects of the same emerging reality.
The question is not whether you are whole—you already are. The question is whether you are ready to remember this truth and live from it, becoming a conscious participant in the larger awakening that our world so desperately needs.
“When you are transformed, the world will be transformed. For you are the world and the world is you.”
At Pacific Integral, we create transformational learning environments where these seven facets can naturally unfold through authentic community, skilled guidance, and practices that honor both ancient wisdom and contemporary understanding. Our approach recognizes that the deepest transformation happens not in isolation but through the alchemy of authentic relationship and collective inquiry.
We invite you to explore how Awakened Wholeness might serve your own journey of transformation and your contribution to the healing of our world. Each facet offers doorways for deeper exploration, practice, and integration—pathways for remembering what you've always known and embodying it in service of all life.
We stay present with what's difficult rather than rushing to fix or transcend it. The crises in our world require solutions that arise a new consciousness, that arise naturally out of a deeper engagement with each other and the world.
We embrace paradox as a way of life. Individual and collective. Spiritual and practical. Being and becoming. Holding apparent contradictions without collapsing them into false simplicity.
We keep learning and being changed by our work. We are willing to be seen, changed, and challenged by the work we're doing together.
We follow what wants to emerge rather than forcing our agenda. Some of our most powerful discoveries have come from trusting the intelligence that moves through genuine relationship.
