This intermediate statement, building off of its predecessor, “Introducing Integral Art, explores the remaining elements of the AQAL model (levels, lines, states, and types) and their relevance to both  the artist and the viewer. The paper examines a variety of developmental streams important to the  making and viewing of art, as well as the waves of greater consciousness and complexity through which they proceed. States of awareness and their place in the practice and interpretation of art are also discussed, along with different styles or types that artists and viewers can use in orienting themselves to these elements.
