There isn't a single pregiven world lying around out there waiting for all and sundry to see. Different phenomenological worlds - real worlds - come into being with each new level of consciousness development.
Ken Wilber, Integral Spirituality, p 168.

The levels or structures of consciousness bring forth different world views.There isn't something out there and we take different pictures of it. World views arise in consciousness. The actual states of structures that we're in co create the world that's arising. Bigger views lessen miscommunications. Understanding the structures of your own mind helps you understand the structures that you are bringing forth, and ultimately how to transcend all of them.
Ken Wilber, Spirituality in the modern world, DVD.
