Integral Approaches That Transform us and the World - Nancy B. Roof, PhD
Here is a taste:
What is an Integral Perspective?
An Integral perspective “honors all dimensions of existence from body to mind to soul to spirit as they unfold in self, culture, social structures and nature thus overcoming partial solutions and putting ourselves in an historical process leading to a wider process of cosmic evolution,” says Ken Wilber. It includes the development of new human capacities beyond the rational mind and systems of systems thinking - including intuition, subtle knowing, nondual consciousness, and nature attunement available only to the few today, but the hope of the many in future generations. For Wilber the whole evolutionary journey is one of unfolding Spirit in Action. Integral is
emerging as the leading edge worldview - a grand synthesis that is comprehensive enough to embrace all of life in its many manifestations. In sum, an Integral worldview includes the benefits and limitations of all worldviews, honors new ways of thinking, embraces increased sensitivity and brings spirituality back into the world. Its rich theory is being refined and expanded by an increasing number of serious practitioners and students. Spiral Dynamics Integral (SDi), strong on practical application, is one integral approach that closely aligns with the seminal work of Ken Wilber.
This is old news to many of us, but it's a great introduction to the basics of integral for those who are new to integral theory.
Nancy Roof is the editor of Kosmos, a nice integral journal.
