Integral Life by OlliS

Ilmoittautuneita webinaarilla oli 1875 henkilöä – Huhhuh! Nöyrin kiitos teille. Yritimme korjata viime tilaisuuden teknisiä ongelmia, taidokkaasti luoden niiden tilalle uusia Tällä kertaa saimme Google Hangoutsin, usean kameran ja 4 mikrofonia toimimaan. Lisäksi pystyimme näyttämään mitä läppärin, älypuhelinten ja tablettien ruudulla tapahtuu, mutta valitettavasti samalla kertaa lähetyskoneemme hyytyi tähän kunnianhimoiseen yritykseen. Biohakkerin Käsikirja Olemme kirjoittamassa Biohakkerin käsikirjaa Teemu Arinan ja Jaakko Halmetojan kanssa.

Mihin suuntaan terveydenhoitomme on menossa? Olen pitänyt taukoa kirjoittamisesta ja seuraillut sitäkin kiinnostuneempana muutamien henkilöiden kirjoittelua ravitsemuksesta sekä terveydestä ja erityisesti vastuun ottamisesta omasta terveydestään. Integral Life Practice – Final Research Assignment. Center for Integral Science. Integral World : Exploring Theories of Everything. Spiral Dynamics. Two ways to look at your emotional identity are from the individual perspective—your personal values, and from the collective perspective—your cultural and societal values.

Spiral Dynamics

Values help define your identity through what you feel. Core personal values are the things you can’t live without. These are the most important things in your life that must be present for you to be happy. The cultural values of your family and societal values of the area you live in also play a role in your identity. Spiral Dynamics. Spiral Dynamics is a theory of human development introduced in the 1996 book Spiral Dynamics by Don Beck and Chris Cowan.

Spiral Dynamics

The book was based on the theory of psychology professor Clare W. Graves. “Spiral Dynamics” is a registered trademark of the National Values Center, Inc. Spiral Dynamics argues that human nature is not fixed: humans are able, when forced by life conditions, to adapt to their environment by constructing new, more complex, conceptual models of the world that allow them to handle the new problems. Each new model includes and transcends all previous models. In spiral dynamics, the term vMeme refers to a core value system, acting as an organising principle, which expresses itself through memes(self-propagating ideas, habits, or cultural practices). Within the model, individuals and cultures do not fall clearly in any single category (colour).

Colours: Holon (philosophy) A holon (Greek: ὅλον, holon neuter form of ὅλος, holos "whole") is something that is simultaneously a whole and a part.

Holon (philosophy)

The word was coined by Arthur Koestler in his book The Ghost in the Machine (1967, p. 48). Koestler was compelled by two observations in proposing the notion of the holon. The first observation was influenced by Nobel Prize winner Herbert A. Simon's parable of the two watchmakers, wherein Simon concludes that complex systems will evolve from simple systems much more rapidly if there are stable intermediate forms present in that evolutionary process than if they are not present.[1] The second observation was made by Koestler himself in his analysis of hierarchies and stable intermediate forms in both living organisms and social organizations. He concluded that, although it is easy to identify sub-wholes or parts, wholes and parts in an absolute sense do not exist anywhere. Daniel Smith. Holism (from holos, a Greek word meaning all, whole, entire, total) , is the idea that natural systems and their properties, should be viewed as wholes, not as collections of parts.

Daniel Smith

This often includes the view that systems somehow function as wholes and that their functioning cannot be fully understood solely in terms of their component parts. Being a South African, I’m proud of the fact that the term holism was coined in 1926 by Jan Smuts, a South African statesman, in his book, Holism and Evolution. Smuts defined holism as “The tendency in nature to form wholes that are greater than the sum of the parts through creative evolution.” Smuts was by no means the only person to think holistically. The word Holon was coined by Arthur Koestler in his book The Ghost in the Machine (1967, p. 48). Definition A holon is a system which is an evolving self-organizing dissipative structure, composed of other holons, whose structures exist at a balance point between chaos and order. 1. 2. 3.

Integral. Daniel Smith. Integral Theory is a philosophy posited by Ken Wilber that seeks a synthesis of the best of pre-modern, modern, and postmodern reality.

Daniel Smith

It claims to be a “theory of everything,” and offers an approach “to draw together an already existing number of separate paradigms into an interrelated network of approaches that are mutually enriching.” It has been applied by scholar-practitioners in 35 distinct academic and professional domains as varied as organizational management, art, and feminism. Integral theory is an all-inclusive framework that draws on the key insights of the world’s greatest knowledge traditions. The awareness gained from drawing on all truths and perspectives allows the Integral thinker to bring new depth, clarity and compassion to every level of human endeavor — from unlocking individual potential to finding new approaches to global-scale problems.

AQAL, pronounced “ah-qwul,” is a widely used framework in Integral Theory. Figure 1. All Levels: Depth and Complexity.
