In this essay I trace the evolution of the consciousness from the time of origins and the archaic structure of consciousness, through the magic structure, the mythical structure and the mental structure up to the present incipient integral culture of consciousness. Humankind currently lives predominantly in what Jean Gebser (1989) referred to as the deficient mental structure of awareness. There are, however, indications of an emerging new structure of consciousness that is being felt in both its efficient expression, as integral, and its deficient expression as dissolution and atomization. Ultimately, the new integral mode of being is experienced as a felt-intensity along with a diaphanous openness to unitary reality.
