Really interesting!
Pitfalls like Wilber talks about I have encountered:
a) Having transcended my personality to a degree, but wondering why "my wisdom" is invisible to others. So I gained insight, which changed not much about my psychological self. And others in genereal couldn't care less about your grade of realization.
b) Encountering shadow aspects, but not working them out, only using them for insight practice. Much of it was not integrated and went wild.
c) Seeing shadow aspects as not important, because if there's no attachment, I won't suffer from it. Yeah sure we are just the viewers of reality, but who whants to see a shitty reality all the time?
d) Relying on "waking up" to do the work for "cleaning up" - which it mostly doesn't

Hindsight is easier than foresight I guess

The more value that we place on upholding a particular
emotional pattern, the more likely it is that all ambiguous
signals will be perceived as supporting it. Evidence which
counters it will most likely be overlooked or rationalised into
a more malleable form. Conflict arises when dissonance occurrs
between desires and existing mental constructs (have you ever
feared the strength of your own desires?). To cope with such
conflicts, a variety of Defence Mechanism can be adopted:

Aggression
A typical response to frustrated desire and loss of control; loss
of devouring dreams. We can direct it at the source of our
frustration, or direct it onto others.

Apathy
Loss of control - loss of face and self-worth. The machine
stops.

Regression
Adult, who me? A return to a child-like mien. Cry hard enough
and someone will come and comfort us. Perhaps we have learnt
that through tears, we can control others.

Sublimation
In other words, putting a brave face on it. Re-directing the
energy into a more acceptable form. But demons are cunning.
Kick them down the front stairs and they will come sneaking
round the back, waiting with spider calm until you leave the
door of your mind ajar.

Intellectualisation
Displacing feelings with words. A quick lie for the aesthetic
becomes a fast buck for the lay analyst. Such strategies are
normal; that is until they become obsessive: a locked-up loop
automatic as breathing. Out of control.

Fantasy
Fantasy is the cornerstone of obsession, where imagination is
trussed up like a battery-farmed chicken; catharsis eventually
becomes catastrophic. Walter Mitty lives in all of us, in
varyingly-sized corners. We use “starter” fantasies to weave
meaning into a new situation, “maintainer” fantasies to prop
up a boring task, and “stopper” fantasies to persuade ourselves
that it’s better not to ...

I watched the whole thing at one go last evening. He repeats himself a lot, but in a way that’s good, because it drives the point home. Got some of his recent books on Kindle as well. 

I thoroughly appreciated what he has to say about the various axes of development—waking up, growing up, cleaning up, and even showing up. The interviewer, Rick Archer, has said many times in interviews with people that he thinks humans are on the cusp of something big, with a growing number of people awakening, and that it will change the course of history. He said so in this interview, but Wilber immediately countered that waking up alone won’t do it. It was a sound observation. 

One thing Wilber says that resonates for me is that people in the past did not have the conceptual tools we do now, e.g. insights from the field of psychology, so you’d have saints in the Christian Middle Ages who had had spectacular awakenings but who were entirely ethnocentric in their outlook. I taught the medieval period as a history professor, and was always dismayed to find people like St. Bernard of Clairvaux, a powerful mystic and lead preacher of the Second Crusade. The person who came closest to overcoming ethnocentric religion was St. Francis of Assisi, who even expressed kinship with animals. 

Does Wilber look like an evil sorcerer to anyone else or is this a projection of my shadow
