But perhaps the most significant feeling associated with integral consciousness is the way it makes you feel about other people. The practice of integral consciousness definitely results in an increased sense of compassion, sympathy, and respect for those about whom you previously felt consternated. However, accompanying this enlarged feeling of compassion is also a new sense of realism about the inherent limitations of those who dwell in these older worldviews. . . . As integral practitioners we have to see ourselves as ambassadors of the future. . . . It’s an exciting time to be alive!1
