Integral Approach
by Dr. Stephen Diamond Christmas is once more upon us, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Chanukkah too has started, celebrating a miraculous event occurring centuries before Christ (who, as a Jew, presumably celebrated Chanukkah) was born. Both--despite their commercialism--are prominent religious holidays in the Judeo-Christian tradition. So perhaps this is an apropos time of year to reflect here on the psychology of spirituality and religion.

The Canadian non-profit organization Drishti-Centre for Integral Action is doing research on community resilience and climate change adaptation from an integral perspective, funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre in Ottawa. The project partners include CESTA-Friends of the Earth El Salvador and Centro Bartolome de las Casas, both whom specialize in environmental conservation, community organizing, and community well-being. Dr. Karen O’Brien, IPCC author of the chapter on climate change adaptation and professor with the Department of Social Geography at the University of Oslo, is a formal advisor to the project. The main objective of this research project is to contribute to the understanding of community resilience and human development within the larger context of sustainable adaptation to climate change in vulnerable communities, with specific focus on El Salvador and Canada.

T here are some things money can’t buy—but these days, not many. Almost everything is up for sale. For example: • A prison-cell upgrade: $90 a night. In Santa Ana, California, and some other cities, nonviolent offenders can pay for a clean, quiet jail cell, without any non-paying prisoners to disturb them. • Access to the carpool lane while driving solo: $8.

A General Introduction to Integral Theory and Comprehensive Mapmaking
I don't believe that any human mind is capable of 100 percent error. So instead of asking which approach is right and which is wrong, we assume each approach is true but partial, and then try to figure out how to fit these partial truths together, how to integrate them--not how to pick one and get rid of the others. While attempting to keep to the larger vision of integral studies as a whole I shall be proposing a rudimentary outline of an underlying assertion primarily based upon the works of Ken Wilber, Jean Gebser, Don Beck and Christopher Cowan (based on the work of Clare Graves), and Mark B.
In this research exploration, I made use of a Mixed Methods approach (Creswell & Clark, 2007), which could be also called Integral approach or Integral Methodological Pluralism (Wilber, 2007; Esbjörn-Hargens, 2006) due to the complementary use of multiple and more specific quantitative and qualitative methodologies corresponding to different perspectives of the AQAL Model , a model drawn from the Integral Theory framework (Wilber, 2007, 2000). Integral Theory is a post disciplinary framework that allows integral practitioners and researchers to cover as much as possible all facets, dimensions and perspectives of any given phenomena; with no ontological or epistemological a priori. It is based on the fact that "reality" is a result of the interdependence and co-arising of various complementary aspects, which are further categorized in the AQAL Model. The AQAL (pronounced aqual) Model is the one of essences of the work of the contemporary philosopher and author Ken Wilber .

Science And The Akashic Field: An Integral Theory Of Everything (978-1-59477-181-1) | Science & Nature | Inner Traditions
• New edition updates ongoing scientific studies, presents new research inspired by the first edition, and includes new case studies and a section on animal telepathy Mystics and sages have long maintained that there exists an interconnecting cosmic field at the roots of reality that conserves and conveys information, a field known as the Akashic record. Recent discoveries in vacuum physics show that this Akashic Field is real and has its equivalent in science’s zero-point field that underlies space itself. This field consists of a subtle sea of fluctuating energies from which all things arise: atoms and galaxies, stars and planets, living beings, and even consciousness. This zero-point Akashic Field is the constant and enduring memory of the universe.
Integral Science Institute
The Integral Science Institute is a collaborative learning organization whose mission it to develop the scientific foundation, intellectual vision and fractal social organization needed to support a robust, sustainable and collaborative learning civilization. This mission is founded in the belief that a collaborative learning civilization – that is, having a world who’s citizens are equal partners in improving and sustaining our global life conditions – is the key to solving society’s most threatening problems. Provide Collaborative Culture Courses designed for Individuals, Organizations, and Leaders who are interested in implementing new ideas for growth, productivity, and success Facilitating the creation of Learning Networks whereby researchers, leaders, and creatives in different disciplines come together to share their resources and ideas for solving problems.Spiral Dynamics: A model for human development & cultural evolution - WIE.org
Encounter the world’s most powerful tool for integral development and cultural transformation No theory or system will alter how you see yourself and the world more immediately and profoundly than Spiral Dynamics. What is Spiral Dynamics?
The Center for Human Emergence will be a major international force for encouraging and facilitating a conscious or "directed" cultural evolution in the world. It will operate on a number of levels, including understanding - in a far more comprehensive way than in the past - the cultural underpinnings that drive human behavior, and will be focused on unification rather than fragmentation, presuming that cooperation is more in line with the future we need than competition. CHE will thus find innovative solutions for some of the most complex problems facing the world today, encouraging the development of new tools for making sense of the change that surrounds us, as well as actively helping humanity to embrace new values and perspectives that could provide the framework for significant change.

There is a set of developments primarily in philosophy and psychology, called Integral ( ◆ ◆ ). Integral is about natural phenomena, including consciousness and systems -- things that are of the cosmos . It affirms no supernatural items -- things that are not of the cosmos. It is "integral" because it seeks to integrate all given perspectives i.e. cognitive landscapes of wisdom . Every perspective is either subjective or objective.
