The Integral Operating System – with Ken Wilber

Ken Wilber — January 3, 2015

Upgrade the Way You Think—and Live

Are you ready to ramp up the performance of your human hardware? If so, then welcome to Version 1.0 of Ken Wilber’s The Integral Operating System.

No, it’s not computer software. It’s a course that crystallizes Ken’s lifelong investigation into the truths of Eastern and Western thought into a cutting-edge tool for sparking a revolution of your mind and spirit.

Ken Wilber has spent more than three decades creating an all-embracing vision that incorporates the best elements from all of humanity’s spiritual and scientific traditions into a model that reveals even deeper levels of truth—the Integral Map. Now, this profoundly versatile tool has been formatted into a multimodal “platform for the soul,” one that you can self-install to accelerate the growth of your spiritual evolution, intellect, relationships with others, and even your physical health.

As one of the most influential figures of human spiritual development, Ken Wilber has been called the “Einstein of consciousness.” Here is an unprecedented chance for you to “download” this remarkable thinker’s teachings as he illuminates the intricacies of The Integral Operating System.

The Future of Spirituality – audio sessions with...

Ken Wilber — December 17, 2013

Have you had a chance to listen to The Future of Spirituality with Ken Wilber and Tami Simon? These historic audio sessions have been edited down into around 6.5 hours and feature a fascinating conversation regarding the evolution of spirituality, the ever-evolving ways the formless is pouring through form, and the always, already awakened nature of consciousness. The sessions are available in CDs or as digital downloads.

If the Buddha, Saint Teresa, or an enlightened shaman walked into the room today, would they find themselves in need of some serious spiritual catching up? The surprising answer, says Ken Wilber, is yes.

Integral evolutionary thinkers today are seeing a burst of accelerating shifts in human consciousness: in our emotional and cognitive lines of intelligence, our creative and moral capacities, our sense of self, and more. And as this landscape of knowledge grows, so does the potential of our own spiritual lives-in ways that even meditation and other inward practices alone cannot provide.

What is the evidence for this upward spiral in our spiritual intelligence? And if it’s true, how do we experience these shifts directly, within ourselves? The Future of Spirituality explores these emerging possibilities to help you discover their profound influences in your own life and in the world around you.

“The enlightened persons of today and of 2,000 years ago are equally free,” says Wilber. But now, for the first time in human history, we have the potential for a far more expansive, fuller spiritual experience than ever before possible. This is the territory that you are invited to explore, with The Future of Spirituality.

Highlights:

“Spirit wants to evolve”-the core of the integral vision
Emptiness and the evolutionary unfolding of form
How science and Western psychology are transforming spirituality
On freedom and fullness
Waking up and growing up, two distinct and essential processes
If the Divine is formless and infinite, who needs levels and hierarchies?
On reincarnation and life after death
The shape of things to come-emerging stages of consciousness ahead

Richard Schwartz and Tamala Floyd: Healing Across Gene...

Richard C. Schwartz — April 23, 2026

What if the anxiety, grief, or fear you’ve struggled with for years is a burden you inherited—not one you earned?

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Richard Schwartz—founder of Internal Family Systems and author of the bestselling No Bad Parts—and Tamala Floyd, psychotherapist, IFS lead trainer, and author of Listening: When Parts Speak: A Practical Guide to Healing with IFS Therapy and Ancestor Wisdom. Together, they explore how IFS and ancestral healing converge to help us release intergenerational trauma at its root.

Join Tami, Dick, and Tamala to explore:

  • What “legacy burdens” are in IFS—and how to recognize when what you’re carrying came from someone else
  • How personal, ethnic, and cultural legacy burdens operate differently—and why racism, historical trauma, and collective suffering require their own healing
  • The concept of the “well ancestor”: why every lineage has one, and how to invite them into your healing
  • Heirlooms vs. burdens: how our ancestral lines carry gifts as well as wounds—and how to receive them
  • Why legacy burdens are often easier to release than personal ones—and what fear most commonly gets in the way
  • Tamala’s guided ancestral meditation, offered live: a practice for releasing what no longer serves you
  • What we offer future generations simply by doing our own inner work

The episode includes a full guided meditation led by Tamala Floyd—drawn directly from her ancestors—that listeners can return to again and again.

Listen now and begin your own healing across generations. →

Tian Dayton: If You Grew Up with Addicts, Healing Is a...

— April 14, 2026

Trauma doesn’t show up in what we remember. It shows up in how we react.

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Tian Dayton—award-winning scholar, senior fellow at The Meadows, and author of Growing Up with Addiction: How Adult Children of Addicts Can Heal Family Trauma, Complex PTSD and Codependency—about what it means to grow up inside a family shaped by addiction, and what it actually takes to heal.

Drawing on decades of clinical work, her own lived experience, and her innovative Relational Trauma Repair (RTR) method, Dr. Dayton explores the neuroscience of relational trauma and the embodied, experiential path through it.

Join Tami and Tian to explore:

  • Why addiction is a family disease—and how process addictions like workaholism and overeating leave the same marks as substance use
  • How childhood trauma gets stored in the body, not the story—and why you can’t think your way out of complex PTSD
  • The neuroscience of overreaction: why triggers feel present-tense even when they’re decades old
  • Cognitive and somatic distortions—and how to recognize when the past is hijacking the present
  • Psychodrama and Relational Trauma Repair: the power of talking to instead of about
  • Timelines, social atoms, and letter writing as tools for putting fragmented memories back in order
  • Why healing is a discipline—and what it means to take ownership of your own darkness as a path to freedom

Whether you grew up in a home shaped by addiction or simply recognize the patterns Dr. Dayton describes, this interview offers both a map and the courage to begin the journey.

Listen now and start where you are.

Peter Russell: Meeting Exponential Change with a Quiet...

Peter Russell — April 7, 2026

We live in a world accelerating faster than the human mind was built to handle. So what do we do with that?

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Peter Russell—author, speaker, and leading thinker on consciousness and spirituality, with degrees in theoretical physics, psychology, and computer science from Cambridge—about his new book, How to Meditate Without Even Trying, featuring a foreword by Eckhart Tolle. Decades after coining the term “global brain” and predicting the internet, Russell turns his visionary lens on the present moment: a world of staggering technological power and equally staggering stress.

Join Tami and Peter to explore:

  • From global brain to global mind: how AI represents the next threshold in humanity’s collective evolution
  • Why exponential change is not going away—and the hidden costs it’s placing on our personal and planetary systems
  • Forgiving Humanity: why the crises facing our species may be the inevitable result of accelerating development, not human failure
  • Accepting the possibility of extinction—and how that acceptance can paradoxically free us to live and serve more fully
  • The shift from “saving the world” to navigating these times with grace, compassion, and groundedness
  • Why meditation is more necessary now than ever—and how effortlessness, not discipline, is the key
  • “Letting in” before letting go: a practice for metabolizing emotion and releasing tension at its root
  • The tension in thinking—and how noticing it during meditation changes how we think outside of it

Whether you’re overwhelmed by the pace of the world or simply looking for a steadier way to move through it, Peter Russell offers both perspective and practice.

Listen now and find your way back to the quiet.
