IS Chapter 1 on IMP
Listen to Yotam Schachter and Ken Wilber.

Ken says “…while contemplative prayer or vipassana might free you from your ego, it will not free you from your culture, whose prejudices remain in the hidden intersubjective background never brought to consciousness and thus never transcended…” So two things come to mind. First of all, he says later that meditation helps you grow in values and cognitive lines, also (a full stage in two years, etc). Wouldn’t this process help you shed your cultural biases? And if not, what can free you from your intersubjective background? Thanks a lot!
