[The schema in question] is not much more that about thirty years old; the earliest reference I know
of is Christopher Hills’ (1977) Nuclear Evolution; an elaborate Integral theory that predates Wilber’s
AQAL by several decades… Hills’ book seems to have had little or no influence on the wider world,
so Wilber’s rainbow chakras are probably based on pop-Osho New Age websites.

Is intra-physical a physical concept? Then no physicist would subscribe to that notion. Or is it

metaphysical? Then what’s the point of calling all this “post-metaphysical”? Isn’t all science
supposed to be “post-metaphysical”? So what’s the big deal then? And if he introduces the notion of
“intra-physical”, that surely introduces ontology in its wake? For Wilber, “post-metaphysical”
primarily seems to refer to “evidence-based”, compared to speculative. If that’s the case, it’s an
unfortunate label for a view that explores other experiential avenues than the bodily senses alone.
