Guidelines For Integral NHNE


The guidelines for participating in this network are simple: listen to others, respect different points of view, tell the truth, do your best to become conscious of the universal tendency to project your unhealed issues on to others (projection usually announces itself by us feeling inappropriately angry or upset with someone else), and, or course, be genuinely committed to becoming the best, most well-rounded human you can be.

For additional tips, read Ken Wilber's "Guidelines For Integral Institute Forums" and Shadow Work: Insights From The Pathwork Lectures.

If we follow these rules, we should all get along swimmingly, even when we hit rough waters.

And with that, welcome! I sincerely hope this network helps everyone who shares a passionate interest in all things integral to go as far as we can -- individually and collectively -- along this exciting, newly emerging path.

............

"I have one major rule: everybody is right. More specifically, everybody -- including me -- has some important pieces of the truth, and all of those pieces need to be honored, cherished, and included in a more gracious, spacious, and compassionate embrace."

-- Ken Wilber

    Food For Thought


    By piecing together a complex ecological puzzle, biologist Willie Smits has found a way to re-grow clearcut rainforest in Borneo, saving local orangutans -- and creating a thrilling blueprint for restoring fragile ecosystems.

    ............

    In September of 2008, four members of Integral Sedona's Leadership Team -- David Sunfellow, Carol Williamson, Charles Wells, and Steve Schliebs -- made a trip to Boulder, Colorado to meet the movers and shakers at Integral Life / Integral Institute and Boulder Integral. While at Integral Life / Integral Institute, they met with CEO Robb Smith, Clint Fuhs, and Robert MacNaughton. Then they buzzed over to Boulder Integral and met with Jeff Salzman, Ross Hostetter, Nomali Perera, Doshin Nelson, and other Boulder Integral noteables. Later that evening, they attended an inspiring question and answer session with Robert Augustus Masters and Diane Bardwell Masters. The following day, they attended the official launch and book signing of the Integral Life Practice book, with authors Terry Patten, Adam Leonard, and Marco Morelli. In between meetings, presentations and book signings, they also had time to roam through the festive streets of downtown Boulder where they ran into Huy Lam (featured in The Integral Life Practice Kit), discovered photos of Ken Wilber and Robert Masters posted in a local metaphysical bookstore, and toured the quiet halls of Shambhala.

    Quote Worth Pondering:

    "The AQAL Code is the result of what started as The Human Consciousness Project. Similar to the Human Genome Project, the Consciousness Project was created to map every state of consciousness, personality type, meme, neurotransmitter from dopamine to serotonin, every synapse, PET distribution scan, meditation state, altered state, peak experience, neuropeptide, stage of consciousness, neuronal display, twitch, twinge, and tingle of the human mind, or psyche, or bodymind, or brain-mind, or whatever you want to call our being. The idea was to get a complete map of the human brain-mind -- a composite map created by looking at every known culture and its psychological, spiritual, and scientific maps of the human psyche -- going back thousands of years, and then using all of those partial maps to create a composite map of the full potentials of the total known territory of the human psyche to date."

    --- Excerpt from Ken Wilber's new novel, "The Many Faces Of Terrorism"

    Altitude


    Click on the image to download a copy

    The concept of Altitude is a radically new approach to development created by Ken Wilber and presented in his book Integral Spirituality. In Holons, we use Altitude as a measure of development in both culture and consciousness. A simple way to explain it is to say that Altitude indicates the degree of developmental unfolding of items such as complexity, consciousness, and the number of perspectives one can take. For example, in consciousness development as indicated below, one goes from the capacity to take only a 1st-person perspective, to also being able to take a 2nd-person perspective, to also being able to take a 3rd-person perspective, and so on. Thus, in this example, you can see that the capacity for love increases (from being able to love only me, to being able to love us, to being able to love all of us, to being able to love all sentient beings....). For convenience, Altitude follows the natural colors of the rainbow, so you'll often hear us refer to degree of development or degree of consciousness or degree of capacity to love, etc. by a particular color of the rainbow.

    The Four Quadrants


    Click on the image to download a copy

    According to Integral Theory, there are at least 4 primary dimensions or perspectives through which we can experience the world: subjective, intersubjective, objective, and interobjective. These 4 perspectives, represented graphically, are the upper-left, lower-left, upper-right, and lower-right quadrants.What’s the point of looking at the world through a 4-quadrant lens? Simple answer: Anything less is narrow, partial and fragmented! Integral Theory maintains that all 4 quadrants are real -- and all are important. So, for example, to the question of what is more real, the brain (with its neural pathways and structures) or the mind (with its thoughts and perceptions), Integral Theory answers: BOTH.

    Integral Life Practice

    From Ken Wilber's Website:

    "Integral Life Practice (ILP) is no-nonsense, practical application of the Integral model that helps you to authentically exercise all aspects or dimensions of your own being-in-the-world. ILP teaches 4 core modules – body, mind, spirit and shadow – as well as 5 or so auxiliary modules – ethics, yoga of relationships, karma yoga, transforming emotions, and sexual yoga – and dozens of potential electives. Grounded in hundreds of transformative practices, East and West, ILP allows you to take anything you're already doing and place it within a comprehensive framework that finally makes sense of it.

    "In addition, ILP is modular, scalable and customizable. Not only can you make it fit your schedule, you also choose the practices that are right for you in an effort to create a program that is flexible and effective. By cross-training practices in the core modules you accelerate growth in all areas, increase the your chance of healthy development and deepen your capacity for transformational living. In short, Integral Life Practice is the simplest practice you can do to wake up!"

    Genpo Roshi's "Big Mind Process"

    Excerpted from Ken Wilber's Forward to Genpo Roshi's Book,

    "Big Mind / Big Heart":

    "Let me state this as strongly as I can: the Big Mind Process (founded by Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi) is arguably the most important and original discovery in the last two centuries of Buddhism. It is an astonishingly original, profound, and effective path for waking up, or seeing one's True Nature. It is such a simple and universal practice it can be used in any spiritual path you wish, or even just alone, by itself, as a practice for realizing your True Nature -- which you can call God, Allah, Jahweh, Brahman, Tao, Ein Sof -- it doesn't really matter, because the core of the Big Mind Process is Emptiness itself, which, having no specific content at all, can and does embrace anything that arises, integrating it all. What Dennis Genpo Roshi has done is not only the most original discovery in Buddhism in the last two centuries, it is unbelievably simple, quick, and effective. In Zen, this realization of one's True Nature, or Ultimate Reality, is called kensho or satori ('seeing into one's True Nature,' or discovering Big Mind and Big Heart). It often takes five years or more of extremely difficult practice (I know, I've done it) in order for a profound satori to occur. With the Big Mind Process, a genuine kensho can occur in about an hour -- seriously. Once you get it, you can do it virtually any time you wish, and almost instantaneously. It is nothing less than the discovery of your True and Unique Self, Ultimately Reality, the Ground of All Being -- again, call it what you like, for 'they call it Many which is really One.' "
