Below is a previous blog entry which didn't end up posting...for those of you who are wondering what this integral stuff I have been talking about is, it might give a few more clues...
I have been in contact with Steve McIntosh and we will meet when I am in Boulder, Colarado...
I thought I would start writing a blog to encourage me to synthesise some of what I am reading and learning at the moment. Having read a fair bit of Ken Wilber recently (www.kenwilber.com - not too current but gives a broad flavour), I am quite taken by the integral project which seeks to create a big enough narrative to encompass all truths in all theories or worldviews. I am trying to get my head round which integral players are doing what. They span every area - cultural develpoment, consciouness studies, education, politics and on. Today I came across:
- the Centre for Human Emergence (www.humanemergence.org.uk)
- Steve McIntosh (www.stevemcintosh.com) - I had previously read an integral politics blogpost by him; he was also amassing a petition declaring the value of global governance, though this has been discontinued, I would be intrigued to know how far they got with it
- Otto Scharmer's blog - www.blog.ottoscharmer.com
- RSA Animate from Matthew Taylor on the need for growing empathy - check out www.rsa.org.uk
- Mia Eisenstadt from Reos Partners - www.reospartners.com - interesting perspectives on nature solos (time spent alone in nature to contemplate big questions - similar to native American tradition of vision questing)
Excited to see that there are so many people in the integral space...the challenge is how to embed this thinking in culture and social/political institutions...more to come on that I am sure.
All good thoughts,
Jack
