The integral level is the first level that looks around in the awareness of where people really are and kindly says, “They really don’t know what they are doing. When they attack me, they don’t know what they are doing, so I don’t need to take it personally. When they attack others furiously, I will speak out against those attacks in order to break their hold on the oppressed. But behind it all are people who are simply viewing the world from where they are.” It was from this viewpoint that Jesus recognized the liberating truth that they, indeed, did not know what they were doing.
