      <title>New book discussing integral thought and gender</title>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Numen, Old Men: Contemporary Masculine Spiritualities and the Problem of Patriarchy:
&lt;br/&gt;http://tinyurl.com/desl9s 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Since the early 1990s there have been various waves of interest in what is often described as “masculine spirituality”. While diverse, a commonality among these interests has been a concern that spirituality has become too feminine, and that men’s experiences of the spiritual are being marginalized. Masculine spirituality is therefore about promoting what it perceives to be authentic masculine characteristics within a spiritual context. By examining the nature of these characteristics, Numen, Old Men argues that masculine spirituality is little more than a thinly veiled patriarchal spirituality. The mythopoetic, evangelical, and to a lesser extent Catholic men’s movements all promote a heteropatriarchal spirituality by appealing to neo-Jungian archetypes of a combative and oppressive nature, or understanding men’s role as biblically ordained leader of the family. Numen, Old Men then examines Ken Wilber’s integral spirituality which aims to honour and transcend both the masculine and feminine, but which privileges the former to the extent where it becomes another masculine spirituality, with all its inherent patriarchal problems. Gay spirituality is then offered as a form of masculine spirituality which to a large degree resists patriarchal tendencies, suggesting a queering of spirituality could be useful for all men, both gay and straight.

      <title>list of books from "love until it hurts"</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/307dc468-e92f-45ad-8d7b-16c298cbee89</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In Ken Wilber's "love until it hurts" video on youtube... he refers to books about feminine spirituality. "Talk to my assistant Colin and we'll email you a list of books" he says to the woman who asks the question about men staring at walls and women wanting to do something. Does anyone out there have the list of books he was refering to?? Thanks! ~mieke&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>integral mashup meditation - RadioKosmos1</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/40b4b2d5-5cec-4d05-bfd4-d5568ed52070</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi folks,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I wanted to make you aware of an audio file I put together this week which you 
&lt;br/&gt;may find interesting. I mixed together a voice track of Eckhart Tolle reading 
&lt;br/&gt;from "Practicing the Power of Now" with some super mellow ambient 
&lt;br/&gt;jazz/electronica and some tones I produced with a binaural beat generator. 
&lt;br/&gt;For those of you unfamiliar with binaural beats you can read more about them 
&lt;br/&gt;on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The whole track is just under 50 minutes. I would love it if you would give a 
&lt;br/&gt;listen (binaural beats require headphones) and let me know that you think.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://arkady.indymedia.org/media/audio/integralmashups-RadioKosmos1.mp3
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Warning: You should not attempt to operate heavy machinery while listening to 
&lt;br/&gt;this file!  ;-)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;metta,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Obi-nine
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;PS. It's also available as an ogg file for those who are into all that.

      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/221d9340-8250-4f24-ad31-cd2fc10f45a1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;In August 2008, John F. Kennedy University and Integral Institute will host a historic event: the inaugural, biennial Integral Theory Conference (ITC), the first major academic conference devoted to the field of Integral Theory. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The theme of the conference is Integral Theory in Action: Serving Self, Other, and Kosmos. The conference will showcase how scholars and professionals are using Integral Theory to impact the lives of individuals and communities. The conference will also highlight emerging lines of Integral scholarship and research, with the goal of further establishing Integral Theory as a dynamic academic discipline.

      <title>Kosmos; A new tribe invitation</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/e2b7e8a3-5f5b-4594-a20a-517498145c1b</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I welcome you to join Kosmos,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Kosmos? With a K? In Integral Theory, Kosmos is interpreted as many spheres of reality: Matter, Life, Mind, Soul and Spirit. Our physical, organic, mental, transpersonal and spiritual realities. So, Why not be creative? Why not dance in the flame of imagination, leave your baggage at the door and come in with an open mind, heart, spirit. It’s time to play, to learn, to know. I'm looking forward to joining new faces and new wisdom.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;peace and being,

      <title>2012 short film</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/511bf151-46fe-4bfb-8129-20fc5294dac7</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;One of my favorite authors, Daniel Pinchbeck,  who wrote '2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl' and 'Breaking Open the Head' has just come out with a series of short films. If you haven't read his 2012 book, it is a MUST READ. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Daniel Pinchbeck:
&lt;br/&gt;"Post Modern Times has just released the first in a series of short animated films presenting new ideas on global consciousness shift and techniques for social and ecological transformation. I have been collaborating on this with brilliant animators and filmmakers. Our initial episode, "Toward 2012," introduces the project, explaining concepts from my last book, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, in my own voice. Future segments will focus on shamanism, sustainability, alternative energy systems, the Mayan Calendar, quantum physics and synchronicity, human sexuality, and a host of other subjects."

      <title>unabridged psychology textbook</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/ce59e440-9718-4ca7-b689-6b90773615f1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;http://tribes.tribe.net/omnipedia/thread/048585db-f70e-4dec-8d03-9a4bf8cd6aa7
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am interested in writing a collaborative and cooperative unabridged textbook on psychology. Minus propaganda, minus psychology history, minus psychology personalities,
&lt;br/&gt;and minus the usual ego bickering that is usually presented.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anybody here interested in that? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What would you list as major chapters?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any thoughts on how to write a better textbook?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Prayers for Ken: A Real-Time Email Request</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/c5d5d8ec-c490-4810-bdf0-3945e1611b02</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt; i got this yesterday from enlightenment.com newsletter; thought y'all would want to know....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This just came in:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;From: Colin Bigelow
&lt;br/&gt;Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 9:41 PM
&lt;br/&gt;To:
&lt;br/&gt;Subject: Ken update
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dear Friends,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Early Wednesday morning Ken was admitted to a local hospital for repeated seizures and an abnormal cardiac pattern. Ken is currently in stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ken does not have a history of seizures, and there was zero warning that something was about to go wrong. In fact, Ken had a fantastic day Tuesday, writing all morning and then meeting with several folks at the loft.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Doctors believe that they understand why these seizures occurred, and the good news is that it’s nothing intrinsically wrong with Ken’s physical well-being. In other words, we have strong reason to believe we can avoid these in the future.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ken has been sedated since admission to the hospital in order to help prevent additional seizures, and doctors are planning on slowly backing off the sedative in the next day or so.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is clearly an extremely serious situation, but it does not appear life-threatening, and according to the lead doctor at the hospital, she has no reason to believe that any of these conditions are irreversible.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you would like to express support for Ken, please pray, do tonglen, or simply hold him in heart and mind with loving-kindness. Ken has always said that these practices work wonders, for both giver and receiver, and all of your love and care will be deeply appreciated by him.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please do not send flowers; if even a dozen kind souls send flowers, the doctors will have no space to work. And naturally, please do not try and visit Ken in the hospital. Ken is in Intensive Care, and only family or extremely close ties are allowed in, nor is the hospital allowed to disclose that Ken is a patient there.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For the time being, I will be posting short updates on Ken’s condition daily. As might be expected, we are looking at days and weeks in terms of recovery, but even just 48 hours after all of this started, recovery does indeed appear to be the path we’ve already begun.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please, friends, walk with Ken on this path. Lift him with your heart, touch him with your mind, bless him with your soul, liberate him with your spirit. He will feel you, and you will feel him, and this miracle of we shall embrace us all, radiantly erupting as the bliss-agony of One Heart pulsing in so many bodies. Ken is nearer to you than your own skin; feel him with reckless abandon. Nourish this precious body of our beloved friend with all the love available to you. Let that love open you to infinity….
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Prajnaparamita,
&lt;br/&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I first learned of Ken Wilber this weekend.  I have never heard of integral studies before, but I am currently intrigued.  It is disappointing that one must pay to participate on the official site, which puts discussion there effectively beyond my means.  My suspicion, additionally, is that the participants of such a site will consist mainly of those with the least to contribute, so this is an unfortunate impediment to the community's progress.  I would like to thank the creator of this group for providing an alternative.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Although I have concerns regarding the current state of Ken Wilber's theories, Wilber has had satori, apparently several times.  I believe, based on my two satori experiences, that he must have reached certain understandings and therefore deserves attention.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am greatly interested in finding others who have had deep experiences of enlightenment, as I believe all such people must be.  Are there more in the integral community?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Maps of Meaning and Evolving Models of Experience</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/253962d9-a6be-4c01-8375-dccf3b706685</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;In my consideration of general human situations and common qualities of experience, I wish to share with you a few of my recent thought-word forms.  You might notice them as distillations of various knowledge and wisdom traditions.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;[IN]TENSES
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Intention
&lt;br/&gt;Attention
&lt;br/&gt;Retention
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;POLARITIES
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Theory &amp;amp; Practice
&lt;br/&gt;In relation to the Integral model of experience, what do you think of laying Theory and Practice on the Left and Right sides of the 2-dimensional quadrants?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Art &amp;amp; Science
&lt;br/&gt;Could this be analogous to the polarities of Poetic and Literal?  Seeing vs. Reading?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;ELEMENTS
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Intake, Compression, Combustion, Exhaust
&lt;br/&gt;Earth, Fire, Air, Water
&lt;br/&gt;Diet, Thought, Word, Action
&lt;br/&gt;What do these elements have to do with the alternating currencies of life?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What are you thinking as you read this?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Gotta go.  Tittle.
&lt;br/&gt;(I wish tribe would let you edit posts.)&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/6f98f639-4b9f-44ed-aa11-2551e245b96a</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I've recently become very interested in ILP. I was wondering what your opinions of the Starter Kit and the Weekend Experiential Training (WET) are. Have you attended a WET event? What was it like? Have you purchased the Starter Kit? Would you recommend it?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for any information/advice/comments.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Returning: A Mystic Awakening</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/8cc95cb1-b797-4c6f-a29a-bf42671ad3b9</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Returning, a Mystic Awakening   
&lt;br/&gt;    
&lt;br/&gt;   
&lt;br/&gt;   It can be any day, any season. Often enough, it's outside. You're on your way somewhere. Anywhere. Then it hits you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Your third eye stops fluttering, and in an instant the curtain that once lied between the divine and mundane is lifted, revealing the world suddenly and utterly beyond any descripton, alive.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Every fiber of the cosmos seems to be breathing. How else can one put it but in a metaphor? Life is in the rock. Life is in the blade of grass. Life is in the vibrant blossoming of spring. Life is in the sleeping forest of winter. The air. The sky, the infinite light of the sun - all parts of some intricate dance, and birthed from the white canvas of thusness. It is a playful mystery, one that is entirely revealed to you, snatching you up in its vision. An energy, a force seems to be present in all things, breaking down any preconceived boundaries from one object to another. It has no measure. The incessant rambling of the mind is silenced to a mere passing whisper - no different than the blades of grass dancing back and forth by the wind.Both the conscious and unconscious mind reaches out to touch the infinite, and it responds in an un-paralled manner.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So there you are, sitting, standing, walking stunned and awed. You can hardly do whatever you were just doing, because this is it. There is nothing more and nothing less. What is, is completely intangible, beyond thought, yet still including it. You have entered life abounding, only to realize you have never exited.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You wander on and have a seat on a bench, a log, something. You notice your breath and your heartbeat. Your organic nature is suddenly appreciated. It is as if nature has called you from sleep in a beautifully violent whisper. In nothing more than a passing breath, the world has seemed to change. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Subject: 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hi folks,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My new book, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, is coming out in a few short weeks. It can already be pre-ordered on Amazon, at a reduced price. I hope those of you who are interested in the subject matter of the book will purchase an early copy. If initial sales of the book are encouraging, the publisher will put resources into its promotion and marketing, which means it will reach a wider audience. For reasons that will be evident to anyone who peruses the book, I feel a certain level of urgency in getting these ideas out into the world. My hope is that this book will give people new ways to think about our world situation, on many levels.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Below, I have enclosed the back cover quotes, a press release describing the book's contents, and then my tour schedule, as it stands. It looks like there will be a party for 2012 in San Francisco on the night of June 7th, and we may organize something in Los Angeles as well, so if you are in either of those places, and would like to attend those events, please email me. The New York publication party will be at Alex Grey's COSM on May 4, in Chelsea.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am still looking for more opportunities to read and talk about 2012, so if any of you have suggestions or contacts with possible venues, please let me know. If you can't afford the book but still want to read it, please ask your local library to order it. I am also seeking media coverage and reviews of the book, if you have ideas. Also, please feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested in this material.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am sending this email out to people I have met along my travels in recent years. If you do not wish to receive any further emails from me, please let me know, and I will take you off the list for future missives. Also, let me know if you receive this more than once. I apologize if this is, in any way, an unwelcome intrusion into your virtual space.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Yours,
&lt;br/&gt;Daniel
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Daniel Pinchbeck's 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl is a dazzling kaleidoscopic journey through the quixotic hinterlands of consciousness, crop circles, and ancient prophecy, as well as an intriguing and deeply personal odyssey of transformation. 2012 presents a compelling and complex teleological argument, weaving together the twilit realms of the human imagination and the harsh realities of accelerated global catastrophe. Its conclusions are surprisingly robust, original, and thankfully optimistic."
&lt;br/&gt;— Sting
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"A daring and intriguing, sometimes deeply disturbing, very well researched and extremely readable book that puts an entirely new slant on 2012. From quantum physics to aliens, from crop circles to reincarnation, from shamanic hallucinogens to Rudolf Steiner, from the Amazon jungle to Stonehenge, from fragments of jaundiced autobiography to the ending of worlds, Pinchbeck takes us on a mind-bending, paradigm-rattling ride."
&lt;br/&gt;— Graham Hancock (author, Fingerprints of the Gods)

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2012: THE RETURN OF QUETZALCOATL
&lt;br/&gt;A PROVOCATIVE REVISIONING OF SPIRITUALITY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
&lt;br/&gt;by Breaking Open the Head author Daniel Pinchbeck
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl (Tarcher/Penguin nonfiction, May 4, 2006, $26.95, ISBN 1-58542-483-8) by Daniel Pinchbeck unifies the inquiry into cosmological phenomena — including crop circles, quantum physics, and the worldwide resurgence of shamanism — in support of the Mayan prophecy that the year 2012 will bring an unprecedented global shift in human consciousness. Appearing forty years after the pivotal heyday of the 1960s, 2012 also argues for the legitimacy of the 1960s-era spiritual and intellectual legacy, embracing the works of writers such as Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg, and Carlos Castaneda.
&lt;br/&gt;A generation ago, pursuing "mind expansion" through altered states of consciousness was hip as well as culturally relevant. By the end of the 1960s, not only were psychedelic drugs outlawed but our society had rejected the idea that it was valuable to open the "doors of perception" at all. For more than three decades, the mainstream has not allowed any serious inquiry into these areas, which once seemed to point toward a new consciousness.
&lt;br/&gt;Author Daniel Pinchbeck has deep personal roots in the New York counterculture of the 1950s and 1960s. His father was an abstract painter, and his mother, Joyce Johnson, was a member of the Beat Generation and dated Jack Kerouac as On the Road hit the bestseller lists in 1957 (chronicled in Johnson's bestselling book, Minor Characters: A Beat Memoir). Pinchbeck was a founder of the 1990s literary magazine Open City with fellow writers Thomas Beller and Robert Bingham. He has written for many publications, including Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, the Village Voice, and Rolling Stone. In 1994, he was chosen by The New York Times Magazine as one of "Thirty Under Thirty" destined to change our culture.
&lt;br/&gt;A profound spiritual crisis in his late twenties led Pinchbeck to the study of shamanism. His first book, Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism, recounted his personal initiation into several tribal cultures that continue to use "magic mushrooms" and other hallucinogens in their rituals. Pinchbeck became convinced of the legitimacy of the shamanic and mystical worldview held by indigenous peoples around the world.
&lt;br/&gt;This brought up troubling questions: If the modern West, in its pursuit of rational science and materialism, had rejected crucially important aspects of reality, what did this say about our society, and its immediate future?
&lt;br/&gt;2012 chronicles the writer's journey to answer these questions, beginning with an exploration of prophecy, especially the vision of the Classical Mayan culture (also the subject of a new Mel Gibson movie, Apocalypto, filmed entirely in the Mayan language). The Mayans were obsessed with time, and according to their Sacred Calendar, the year 2012 marks the end of a "Great Cycle" of more than 5,000 years, and the climax of larger patterns that appear to go back 16 billion years. Pinchbeck discovered that a number of theorists, working outside the mainstream of archaeology, make a compelling argument that 2012 could represent a transformation in the nature of human consciousness as well as, potentially, a unified and harmonic global civilization.
&lt;br/&gt;In 2012, Pinchbeck recounts his own personal experiences as he follows the traces of prophetic and occult knowledge, including a visit to southern England to investigate the crop circles, and a journey to the Brazilian Amazon to study Santo Daime, a religion that uses the psychedelic drink ayahuasca as its sacrament. He unifies the ideas of a large number of writers, philosophers, and physicists to create a new cultural context for understanding the many aspects of being that to date have been ignored and suppressed by mainstream culture and the academy.
&lt;br/&gt;2012 is an unusually elegant, serious, critical and adventurous exposition of ideas often regarded as beyond the purview of intellectual inquiry. Readers may share or reject its conclusions, but they are certain to find the journey unforgettable.
&lt;br/&gt;Pinchbeck lives in New York's East Village, where he is currently launching Evolver (www.evolverproject.com), a new media and membership organization, with offices in Manhattan and on the West Coast.

&lt;br/&gt;Just thought everyone here who hasn't checked it out yet should take a peak at the new social networking site all about changing the world with a truly integral / second tier bend.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;The only social networking site on the Internet where Ken Wilber is bigger than Jesus and Buddha.  :-)

      <title>So Who Are You?</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/07440813-f0bf-4eea-9b24-74558f0b14a7</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;So Who Are You?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;by Ken Wilber
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The witnessing of awareness can persist through waking, dreaming and deep sleep. The Witness is fully available in any state, including your own present state of awareness right now. So I'm going to talk you into this state, or try to, using what are known in Buddhism as "pointing out instructions." I am not going to try to get you into a different state of consciousness, or an altered state of consciousness, or a non-ordinary state. I am going to simply point out something that is already occurring in your own present, ordinary, natural state. So let's start by just being aware of the world around us. Look out there at the sky, and just relax your mind; let your mind and the sky mingle. Notice the clouds floating by. Notice that this takes no effort on your part. Your present awareness, in which these clouds are floating, is very simple, very easy, effortless, spontaneous. You simply notice that there is an effortless awareness of the clouds. The same is true of those trees, and those birds, and those rocks. You simply and effortlessly witness them. Look now at the sensations in your own body. You can be aware of whatever bodily feelings are present-perhaps pressure where you are sitting, perhaps warmth in your tummy, maybe tightness in your neck. But even if these feelings are tight and tense, you can easily be aware of them. These feelings arise in your present awareness, and that awareness is very simple, easy, effortless, spontaneous. You simply and effortlessly witness them. Look at the thoughts arising in your mind. You might notice various images, symbols, concepts, desires, hopes and fears, all spontaneously arising in your awareness. They arise, stay a bit, and pass. These thoughts and feelings arise in your present awareness, and that awareness is very simple, effortless, spontaneous. You simply and effortlessly witness them. So notice: you can see the clouds float by because you are not those clouds-you are the witness of those clouds. You can feel bodily feelings because you are not those feelings-you are the witness of those feelings. You can see thoughts float by because you are not those thoughts-you are the witness of those thoughts. Spontaneously and naturally, these things all arise, on their own, in your present, effortless awareness. So who are you? You are not objects out there, you are not feelings, you are not thoughts-you are effortlessly aware of all those, so you are not those. Who or what are you? Say it this way to yourself: I have feelings, but I am not those feelings. Who am I? I have thoughts, but I am not those thoughts. Who am I? I have desires, but I am not those desires. Who am I? So you push back into the source of your own awareness. You push back into the Witness, and you rest in the Witness. I am not objects, not feelings, not desires, not thoughts. But then people usually make a big mistake. They think that if they rest in the Witness, they are going to see something or feel something-something really neat and special. But you won't see anything. If you see something, that is just another object-another feeling, another thought, another sensation, another image. But those are all objects; those are what you are not. No, as you rest in the Witness-realizing, I am not objects, I am not feelings, I am not thoughts-all you will notice is a sense of freedom, a sense of liberation, a sense of release-release from the terrible constriction of identifying with these puny little finite objects, your little body and little mind and little ego, all of which are objects that can be seen, and thus are not the true Seer, the real Self, the pure Witness, which is what you really are. So you won't see anything in particular. Whatever is arising is fine. Clouds float by in the sky, feelings float by in the body, thoughts float by in the mind-and you can effortlessly witness all of them. They all spontaneously arise in your own present, easy, effortless awareness. And this witnessing awareness is not itself anything specific you can see. It is just a vast, background sense of freedom-or pure emptiness-and in that pure emptiness, which you are, the entire manifest world arises. You are that freedom, openness, emptiness-and not any itty bitty thing that arises in it. Resting in that empty, free, easy, effortless witnessing, notice that the clouds are arising in the vast space of your awareness. The clouds are arising within you-so much so, you can taste the clouds, you are one with the clouds. It is as if they are on this side of your skin, they are so close. The sky and your awareness have become one, and all things in the sky are floating effortlessly through your own awareness. You can kiss the sun, swallow the mountain, they are that close. Zen says "Swallow the Pacific Ocean in a single gulp," and that's the easiest thing in the world, when inside and outside are no longer two, when subject and object are nondual, when the looker and looked at are One Taste. You see? &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Egoless Means More</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/4037bae7-9571-4b0c-aa8f-2761903900a9</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Egoless Means More 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Precisely because the ego, the soul and the Self can all be present simultaneously, we can better understand the real meaning of egolessness, a notion that has caused an inordinate amount of confusion. But egolessness does not mean the absence of a functional self (that's a psychotic, not a sage); it means that one is no longer exclusively identified with that self. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One of the many reasons we have trouble with the notion of egoless is that people want their egoless sages to fulfill all their fantasies of saintly or spiritual, which usually means dead from the neck down, without fleshy wants or desires, gently smiling all the time. All of the things that people typically have trouble with money, food, sex, relationships, desire they want their saints to be without. Egoless sages who are above all that is what people want. Talking heads is what they want. Religion, they believe, will simply get rid of all baser instincts, drives and relationships, and hence they look to religion, not for advice on how to live life with enthusiasm, but on how to avoid it, repress it, deny it, escape it. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In other words, the typical person wants the spiritual sage to be less than a person, somehow devoid of all the messy, juicy, complex, pulsating, desiring, urging forces that drive most human beings. We expect our sages to be an absence of all that drives us! All the things that frighten us, confuse us, torment us, confound us: we want our sages to be untouched by them altogether. And that absence, that vacancy, that less than personal, is what we often mean by egoless. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But egoless does not mean less than personal, it means more than personal. Not personal minus, but personal plus all the normal personal qualities, plus some transpersonal ones. Think of the great yogis, saints and sages from Moses to Christ to Padmasambhava. They were not feeble-mannered milquetoasts, but fierce movers and shakers from bullwhips in the Temple to subduing entire countries. They rattled the world on its own terms, not in some pie-in-the-sky piety; many of them instigated massive social revolutions that have continued for thousands of years. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And they did so not because they avoided the physical, emotional and mental dimensions of humanness and the ego that is their vehicle, but because they engaged them with a drive and intensity that shook the world to its very foundations. No doubt, they were also plugged into the soul (deeper psychic) and spirit (formless Self) the ultimate source of their power but they expressed that power, and gave it concrete results, precisely because they dramatically engaged the lower dimensions through which that power could speak in terms that could be heard by all. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These great movers and shakers were not small egos; they were, in the very best sense of the term, big egos, precisely because the ego (the functional vehicle of the gross realm) can and does exist alongside the soul (the vehicle of the subtle) and the Self (vehicle of the causal). To the extent these great teachers moved the gross realm, they did so with their egos, because the ego is the functional vehicle of that realm. They were not, however, identified merely with their egos (that's a narcissist), they simply found their egos plugged into a radiant Kosmic source. The great yogis, saints and sages accomplished so much precisely because they were not timid little toadies but great big egos, plugged into the dynamic Ground and Goal of the Kosmos itself, plugged into their own higher Self, alive to the pure atman (the pure I-I) that is one with Brahman; they opened their mouths and the world trembled, fell to its knees, and confronted its radiant God. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Saint Teresa was a great contemplative? Yes, and Saint Teresa is the only woman ever to have reformed an entire Catholic monastic tradition (think about it). Gautama Buddha shook India to its foundations. Rumi, Plotinus, Bodhidharma, Lady Tsogyal, Lao Tzu, Plato, the Bal Shem Tov these men and women started revolutions in the gross realm that lasted hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years, something neither Marx nor Lenin nor Locke nor Jefferson can yet claim. And they did not do so because they were dead from the neck down. No, they were monumentally, gloriously, divinely big egos, plugged into a deeper psychic, which was plugged straight into God. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There is certainly a type of truth to the notion of transcending ego : it doesnÕt mean destroy the ego, it means plug it into something bigger. (As Nagarjuna put it, in the relative world, atman is real; in the absolute, neither atman nor anatman is real. Thus, in neither case is anatta a correct description of reality.) The small ego does not evaporate; it remains as the functional center of activity in the conventional realm. As I said, to lose that ego is to become a psychotic, not a sage. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Transcending the ego thus actually means to transcend but include the ego in a deeper and higher embrace, first in the soul or deeper psychic, then with the Witness or primordial Self, then with each previous stage taken up, enfolded, included and embraced in the radiance of One Taste. And that means we do not get rid of the small ego, but rather, we inhabit it fully, live it with verve, use it as the necessary vehicle through which higher truths are communicated. Soul and Spirit include body, emotions and mind; they do not erase them. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Put bluntly, the ego is not an obstruction to Spirit, but a radiant manifestation of Spirit. All Forms are not other than Emptiness, including the form of the ego. It is not necessary to get rid of the ego, but simply to live it with a certain exuberance. When identification spills out of the ego and into the Kosmos at large, the ego discovers that the individual atman is in fact all of a piece with Brahman. The big Self is indeed no small ego, and thus, to the extent you are stuck in your small ego, a death and transcendence is required. Narcissists are simply people whose egos are not yet big enough to embrace the entire Kosmos, and so they try to be central to the Kosmos instead. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But we do not want our sages to have big egos; we do not even want them to display a manifest dimension at all. Anytime a sage displays humanness in regard to money, food, sex, relationships we are shocked, shocked, because we are planning to escape life altogether, not live it, and the sage who lives life offends us. We want out, we want to ascend, we want to escape, and the sage who engages life with gusto, lives it to the hilt, grabs each wave of life and surfs it to the end this deeply, profoundly disturbs us, frightens us, because it means that we, too, might have to engage life, with gusto, on all levels, and not merely escape it in a cloud of luminous ether. We do not want our sages to have bodies, egos, drives, vitality, sex, money, relationships, or life, because those are what habitually torture us, and we want out. We do not want to surf the waves of life, we want the waves to go away. We want vaporware spirituality. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The integral sage, the nondual sage, is here to show us otherwise. Known generally as tantric, these sages insist on transcending life by living it. They insist on finding release by engagement, finding nirvana in the midst of samsara, finding total liberation by complete immersion. They enter with awareness the nine rings of hell, for nowhere else are the nine heavens found. Nothing is alien to them, for there is nothing that is not One Taste. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Indeed, the whole point is to be fully at home in the body and its desires, the mind and its ideas, the spirit and its light. To embrace them fully, evenly, simultaneously, since all are equally gestures of the One and Only Taste. To inhabit lust and watch it play; to enter ideas and follow their brilliance; to be swallowed by Spirit and awaken to a glory that time forgot to name. Body and mind and spirit, all contained, equally contained, in the ever-present awareness that grounds the entire display. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In the stillness of the night, the Goddess whispers. In the brightness of the day, dear God roars. Life pulses, mind imagines, emotions wave, thoughts wander. What are all these but the endless movements of One Taste, forever at play with its own gestures, whispering quietly to all who would listen: is this not you yourself? When the thunder roars, do you not hear your Self? When the lightning cracks, do you not see your Self? When clouds float quietly across the sky, is this not your very own limitless Being, waving back at you?

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi, can someone with a clear sense of coral please articulate it for us?  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm sure it's a stage of agency and will, but how does it relate to turqoise and what conditions does it respond to beyond turqoise?  What is it's purpose?&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/0fa521bd-bcf1-40d9-9049-60063401d3c9</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi, I am getting in to Ken Wilber and wondering where to start. Which of his books are considered to be his 'best' in your opinion?  I have Essential Ken Wilber and I am looking to read something that is a complete work, but perhaps more concise than some of his most scholarly works. I read Marriage of Sense &amp;amp; Soul. I picked up A Brief History of Everything but felt like perhaps I wanted to read a work that wasn't in interview format. Perhaps I ought to just read that anyway...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any suggestions?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Namaste,
&lt;br/&gt;Darius&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/abe26350-5b3a-4104-a18c-31157568de66</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For those of you who may be interested, I've placed a copy of KW's paper "Integral Spirituality" in an online file archive that I maintain. The paper was written this past June and covers a lot of his central ideas.

      <description>&lt;div&gt;hi everyone,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i deleted that thread because the person who posted the original text cannot offer a source. in fact, the person who sent it to her offered the tribe thread i posted as the source.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;geez louise people!!!!! talk about circular logic!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;so, i have learned a lesson about posting/forwarding things without accurate sources. i hope to pass this lesson on...
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>Meditation linked with brain growth</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/e2c41791-4e41-4553-930b-309e35419b32</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;"Meditation may increase grey matter in parts of the brain important for sensory, cognitive and emotional processing, according to a new study.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The study, by researchers from Yale, Harvard, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, shows a link between meditation and increased cortical thickness.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Reported in the journal NeuroReport, the study involved 20 participants with extensive training in Buddhist Insight meditation. "

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I've just started a new tribe on psycho-spiritual personal development. I hope to have some good discussions around integral theory and how to apply it in personal growth. I would welcome your insight based on Ken Wilber's ideas/philosophy and/or your own.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Check it out here if interested: http://tribes.tribe.net/personaltranscendence

      <title>Lines of development</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/b68a45c2-4b3d-48f3-aecc-0a0e8f4611ae</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Wilber often talks about the existance of about 2-dozen lines of development in his work.  I was wondering if someone might point to me a place where I can see these 2-dozen lines and their specific levels.  A website, or a reference to one of his books would be helpful.

      <title>Recommended Wilber Readings?</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/7bfbb6de-f555-4330-98c9-3cea76b956f8</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;This seemed worthy of a new thread.  In the thread on "critique of Ken Wilber" ...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Eric wrote:
&lt;br/&gt;... I don't really fault him for this repetition; it's just good to know which books to read and which to skip. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dominika replied:
&lt;br/&gt;I'm sort of new to Ken Wilber - do you have any particular strong recommendations/favorites to recommend? So far I've read Up From Eden and Integral Psychology. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;to which Via replied:
&lt;br/&gt;book recommendation: 'a theory of everything'. it repeats everything previously (of course!) but is the latest synthesis of what went before. it's also shorter! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;that, and 'grace and grit' to get the practical sense of what it means to live what he's talking about, fail, and keep going. IOW, it's a humanized, Wilber (which for me is essential.) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;...and my response:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I enjoyed A Brief History of Everything, but I assume that A Theory of Everything may be a more updated version of this.  I also thought it a great way to experience Wilber human side to listen to him speak on the CD interview called Kosmic Consiousness, which is also a general overview made at about the same time as Brief History.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am now reading The Simple Feeling of Being which is excerpts from all of his other works arranged by topic.  It's very repetative but I did find it a good way to sample his other books.  It has made me curious to read Grace and Grit.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone else have recommendations?&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/1ce3a1e2-66a6-454d-887f-c079e452c2ca</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi folks,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There's a mirror of a few choice Ken Wilber videos taken from the Integral Naked website available at:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://arkady.indymedia.org/media/video/integralnaked/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Unfortuntaely they're in Windows Media format (boo hiss to Integral Naked for choosing this file format). If anyone can convert them to something more useful please let me know...
&lt;br/&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;so for some shameless self-promotion, I thought I'd bop over here and say - we need you yellows and conscious masculine/feminine lines to work on the creation and execution of Dreamtime www.dreamthefuture.org for 2006.  I really want to create a yellow/turquoise organization that is the living embodiment of the world that we would like to see. http://dreamthefuture.tribe.net/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;conscious art and workshops are also encouraged.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I love Ken Wilber's work and long to see it more embodied!!!&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I started a Stuart Davis tribe, please join if interested.  I came across his Dharmapop music via his associations with Wilber and Integral Naked.  It's really great stuff especially the album "Self Titled", 2001 which is my favorite so far.

      <title>Mirror Neurons</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/ee161bc3-79d6-4e81-b2cc-b3c7ae6e9f42</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi folks
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Distinguished neurologist V. S. Ramachanrdan (Phantoms in the Brain) wrote an article on mirror neurons here: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/ramachandran/ramachandran_p1.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These are neurons in the frontal lobes that fire when we perform certain actions. Interestingly, they also fire when we see another person performing the same action. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This research has deep implications for understanding the core mechanisms by which memes are generated and propogated. A very interesting article. &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Heart centered business with a sneaky Yellow underbelly</title>
      <link>http://kenwilber.tribe.net/thread/ad0e7aa4-10b6-4ef6-9288-bd82359c61f8</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Recently I have been retrogressing back to my "orange" meme because I never quite got it right.  Healthy ORANGE is a big boost to your ability to manifest in this world.  (Thats what Ken is doing with I-I). Also the GREEN part of me wanting to "include the less fortunate" is calling out for a little satisfaction.  So, I've been looking and came across some Bus - Ops that exemplify those Memes in a HEALTHY Way!    And according to KW we need to be able to FUNCTION in a Healthy in all the Value Memes to really stabilize into YELLOW. The leap to 2nd Tier.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, this Bus-op has a healthy Orange presentation with a very green motivational factor (giving 10% to needy children) BUT after getting into it I see that the True FUNCTIONING of a group of us inside are YELLOW motivated in FACT.  So, my brothers &amp;amp; sisters.  Check it out.

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Every now and then one of Ken's writings remains with me (Longer than the rest).  I find they stay in my awareness until I've moved (in thought, or belief or into an action).  Anyway here's the latest one, felt like sharing it - wouldn't mind hearing from others what thought of Ken is hanging around your mind these days.
&lt;br/&gt;Much Aloha, John

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I love "Grace and Grit." I can totally relate to Ken's wife Treya, (who passed away from cancer), and the edges of her spiritual growth. Here's one passage that moved me today:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"...I especially like what [Da Free John] has to say about relationship, about how the ego is nothing but the contraction or avoidance of relationship. I certainly recognize in myself when he describes the ego as reactive and contracting away from relationship. I recognize myself as often feeling rejected and then engaging in the "egoic ritual" of defending myself against what I see as insults or hurts. When I'm reacting in a hurt way--which means withdrawing, avoiding, usually through defending myself--to what I see as rejection, it helps to think of his teachings that I must stop dramatizing the situation as being betrayed, stop reacting, stop rejecting and punishing others when I feel rejected. I must not withhold love, dissociate myself, but instead be vulnerable and suffer myself to be wounded. "Practice the wound of love," he says, you can't help but be wounded, just notice it, don't contract, and continue to love. "If you are merely hurt, you will still know the need for love, and you will still know the need to love."&lt;/div&gt;
