Елена on 4/14/21 — Transdisciplinary Leaders, Leading and Leadership Towards Planetary, Developmental and Regenerative Communities, Cultures and Civilizations - 05/09/2021
The Pragmatic Impact on Leadership and Organizations of Interventions Based on the Collaborative Developmental Action Inquiry Approach As shown in this review, fifty years of research on real-world practice, guided by the Collaborative Developmental Action Inquiry (CDAI) paradigm of social science and social action, have documented more powerful impacts than any other research and practice approach on leaders’ and organizations’ transformation. CDAI is a rich combination of quantitative, qualitative, and action research in field settings where the researchers are also lead-participants studying themselves and their influence on the setting under study as it attempts to transform. In this early stage in the development of the CDAI paradigm, it is quantitatively anchored by the two psychometric instruments currently defensible for measuring and debriefing leaders’ developmental action-logics – the Mature Adult Profile (MAP) and the Global Leadership Profile (GLP).
Patrick Walker on 12/21 — Seeing Through the World: An Invitation to Begin the Healing Work - 02/22/2021
What a lovely and deeply nourishing exploration! I've been struggling with some of this lately - the constraints of perspectival approaches and the insufficiency of "transcend and include" as a metaphor. And this discernment between stages and structures is something I'll be thinking a lot about, to settle more deeply into. Thanks so much Cynthia.

Fabulous! Thank you for this deeply resonant depiction of the momentous leap. I stumbled across this article while also in the midst of revamping my website and writing about very similar themes.

Barbara A. Amodio, Ph.D. on 09/17 – An Integral Catholic Leader: Father Anthony de Mello, SJ - 02/07/2021
Interesting article with excellent discussion of important formative and peripheral references. Discovered by 'accident' today while continuing an often interrupted project on Jesuit Spirituality and its neglected Indian dimensions. That said, it is a mistake to assume that Vipassana (Vipashana) is only or exclusively a 'Buddhist' proprietary brand. Its origin is in the Sanatana Dharma period, a period prior to all organized religion, and in the succeeding Hindu traditions. 'Buddists' and 'Hindus' of that time differed, and the last historical Buddha taught it as Vipassana, but that is no different than 'Anupanasatyayog', nor again from pure spirituality distinct from the tricky 'Monkey Mind.' Patanjali intentionally refers to it very obliquely. Its meaning is off the pages of the Yoga Sutras/Aphorisms. Actually, it is a Fourth Order 'Psychology' much beyond the 'holistic' phenomenologies of the western continent & American Rogerians. This fifth 'book', or method, is never written. It CANNOT be done without the guidance and initiation of an authentic Master. Your article indicates points at which Anthony de Mello might have met a Master, or might have remembered smething from another life. Anupanasatyayog/Vipassana is in fact Patanjali's 'unwritten' (agrapha) Fifth Book. When the Student is ready the Teacher will come. The special 'breath' is deeply hidden and not caught without a Master's loving and careful guidance beyond all words and forms, aimed at dissolving cdertain unique 'knots' in the Mindstuff (citta as manas) of a person so that Soul (pure Cit/Consciousness) can be revealed. This 'works a freedom' in deeply Ignation terms. This is 'spiritual' and NOT 'religious' , in the sense of a merely 'organized', ritualized 'religion', or careless breathing. Rather does it pertain to Soul/Spirit/Atma. Without an authentic Master, the hidden air is not found., nor the secret passage. At present there are only about 60 such Masters on the planet. There is no need to restrict this method to 'Buddhism,' though it was the last historical Buddha's preferred method of teaching by which he facilitated many enlightened Souls whose 'buddhis' were 'emptied', dissolved to 'no mind', pure mystical 'zero', thus fully confirmed in Soul (not mind, not body.) that terminology is highly important: The total human economy is body+mind+Soul. High state 'mind' is an illusion not equivalent to 'Soul' state. It is no accident that Jesuit Spirituality recovers the ancient Silence and bridges east and west. A Master is nearby for the interested sincere Seeker.

Inspiring narrative... really enjoyed reading it.
Albert KLamt on 12/21 - Integral Reflections on Science and Spirituality with Peter Merry and Nish Dubashia - 01/27/2021
Nish, I will be with yoo on 5th Feb. And please notify me when your new novel is published. Best, from Berlin, Albert
Nish Dubashia on 12/21 - Integral Reflections on Science and Spirituality with Peter Merry and Nish Dubashia - 01/24/2021
Albert - Thank you very much for your interest and kind comments. Peter and I are planning to continue with the series of dialogues, and our next one is currently scheduled for 5th February. And thank you for the great quote from Everything Matters. My new novel Dancing with Angels is scheduled to be published around Easter, and it aims to tell the story of development from mythic through rational to post-modern and integral in the form of one man's spiritual journey after personal tragedy.
Albert KLamt on 12/21 - Integral Reflections on Science and Spirituality with Peter Merry and Nish Dubashia - 01/24/2021
Thanks Lex. Your ongoing pioneering work with integral relativity and multidimensional science and practice is highly appreciated. This discussion should be gain massive momentum for the next 10- 100 years! I know seeding the first radical impulses is the epic challenge. Albert
Albert KLamt on 12/21 - Integral Reflections on Science and Spirituality with Peter Merry and Nish Dubashia - 01/24/2021
A short remark. As I know, you, NIsh Dubashia wrote a novel yourself. In Dec I stumbled upon a novel from US writer Ron Currie. German filmmaker Florian Henekel von Donnersmarck mentioned it in on of the intervies for his film NEVER LOOK AWAY. Profiling life and work of German painter Gerhard Richter. Von Donnsersmarck expressed his frustration that German films only have international success when referring to facism or communism. His next project will be based on Ron Curries book. EVERYTHING MATTERS. This the AMAZING intro from the novel. From Ron Currie. Everything matters. As the Amazon product info says: A tour de force of storytelling, Everything Matters! is a genre-bending potpourri of alternative history, sci-fi, and the great American tale in the tradition of John Irving and Margaret Atwood. I see, sense and intuit form this hybid form of story telling future possibilties for perceiving within the volutions dynamics. Heres to an excerpt which inspired me very much: In Utero; Infancy "First, enjoy this time! Never again will you bear so little responsibility for your own survival. Soon you will have to take in food and dispose of your own waste, learn the difference between night and day and acquire the skill of sleeping. You will need to strengthen the muscles necessary to sustain high-volume keening for long intervals. You will have to master the involuntary coos and facial twitches which are the foundation of infantile cuteness, to ensure that those charged with caring for you continue to provide food and clean linen. You will need to flex your arms and legs. Loll your head to strengthen the neck, crawl, stagger to your feet, then walk. Soon after you must learn to run, share, swing a bat and hold a pencil, love, weep, read, tie your shoelaces, bathe, and die. There is much to learn and do, and little time; suffice it to say that you should be aware of the trials ahead so that you may appreciate the effortless liquid dream of gestation while it occurs, rather than only in hindsight. For now, all you need to do is grow..." https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120952975&t=1609320730924&fbclid=IwAR3v6ZCbywhzVJXZWTAJzFiWhnoVhK5b41mi6ErHjJh3t6oAhw2W6UOP6mk
Albert KLamt on 12/21 - Integral Reflections on Science and Spirituality with Peter Merry and Nish Dubashia - 01/24/2021
Peter Merry, Nish Dubashia, thanks for the great dialogue. In transscript. I enyoyed very much to watch the entire series on You Tube in 2020. The Bohm approach - as I know it from decades ago- has yet potentials which are not fully harvested.Bt thats only a side note. N: Yes. I mean, I think in language, the sharp distinctions we make between subject and object, between nouns, adjectives and verbs, these very hard distinctions we make, they then determine our reality. We look at the world through those language structures and then the world we see reflects back our own language structures to us. "P: And really ultimately nothing is an object, because everything is ultimately inter-subjective. If you reconnect the observer and the observed, then subject-object disappears as a concept. Right? Nish: Right. Peter: Yeah" Exactly. Best from Berlin
Pierre GOIRAND on 12/21 – The Unintentional Bully: An Autoethnographic Reflection on Leadership - 01/09/2021
Mickael, thank you for your article the subject of bullying in the workplace is very important I have suffered from bullying as well and it leaves an indelible mark - and shows up in uncanny way in the context of adult life. I appreciate the difficult exercise of detailing one's own experience - it takes accepting to show oneself as "weak" which in our heroic star leadership culture is rarely welcomed - bravo You've also tried to show ways in which you can replicate bullying behaviors. which is crucial as we know from the study of abuse and addiction that perpetrators often have been victims. I am French, and in French we have a word for the victim "le souffre douleur" literally, he who suffers the pain. But we do not have a name to the perpetrator, no name for the bully. Which makes it hard to write an article on the subject. when we have no word we have a problem; but when we use a word beyond it's scope we also create a problem. In this respect, your article leaves me confused as you do not give any definition of what do you mean by bullying. You then tend to include Under this umbrella all sorts of behaviors such as criticism, lack of support, lack of interest, lack of care... this is not bullying. the scope become too large and diffused. In my view all actions or ways to interact that makes someone feel bad, not considered and even disrespected are not necessarily bullying. Can there be a pattern of the victim to tend to see bullies and bullying everywhere ? Bullying is not a one time occurence, it is a behavioral pattern, it is a trait of personality. Your use the term of "unintentional bullying" - but you do not define it either - is there such a thing ? It does not resonate with me. The bully always chooses his victims. Can you imagine a bully saying , "ooh I am sorry, did I bully you ? it was unintentional, really I am sorry, I didn't mean to , I apologize...." - (I wonder as I write this if this way to express critcism, will fall under your label of unintentional bullying ?) By being so broad, you miss aspects of bullying that from my point of view and experience are essential : such as the intention to make the other feel bad, the sadistic inclination, the pleasure of humiliation, the tactics, the importance of recurrence, the servitude; the internalization of shame... I would very much welcome a study of bullying in the workplace and/or in relation to leadership that would limit itself to bullying per se. If you know of any please let me know - and maybe you will be the one writing it. Thank you very much for opening the conversation

Said E. Dawlabani on 12/21 — Vision is Only the Beginning: Educators Talk about Highly Effective Leadership in Colleges and Universities - 12/28/2020
Dear David, As inspiring as this research is, I fear it leaves out much of the elephant in the room that is the disruption being caused by the Digital Age. I might as well have been reading a piece from the 1980's. Should higher education remain primarily a utility, ie a tool that helps people acquire skills for jobs, traditional 4-year colleges will become dinosaurs regardless of how much "innovation" people from within the system attempt to bring in. I didn't hear specifics on embracing the myriad of new platforms towards which much of the new generation is gravitating. Nor were there specific about shifts towards life-long learning that defines the future job market, an to a greater extent the structure of the future of society and the critical role that higher education plays in it. If you're familiar with the Spiral Dynamics model, most the responses you'rve listed from University presidents, deans and provosts are the recycling of Green and Orange values that have defined higher education for over a century. The future requires higher education to be designed from the much higher Yellow level of values that anticipate institutional disruption ahead of time and be on the cutting edge of social changes, not react with an old model designed from the highest levels of Orange and Green. Social disruption has gone exponential requiring models of education, governance and everything else to become lean, resilient, and capable of continuance change and adaptation. As brilliant as university educators are, they simply don't see the future from the much higher level of consciousness that comes from the Yellow stage of human development.
Antonio Augusto Casari Kós on 12/21 — Seeing Through the World: An Invitation to Begin the Healing Work - 12/27/2020
Thank you Cynthia for these great reflections on what integral is, or what it is meant to be. After a few years of contact with Wilber's work i begun to feel it as a rational (modern) framing, as you said a bidimensional, and quite cartesian reduction of an integral horizon that has many more dimensions than Wilber was able to comunicate. I am glad i found your blog. I guess i will be following you into aperspectival sanity :) Best regards
Robin Wood on 12/21 — Seeing Through the World: An Invitation to Begin the Healing Work - 12/24/2020
A stunning exposition of the Gebserian core, with all due credit to Jeremy's ability to clarify the key elements of Gebser's approach. This fresh interpretation of "aperspectival" as a grand embrace of all the structures of consciousness as a whole, and not a form of madness, is a real breakthrough in unblocking the head-centric character of most of the developmental models and the misleading idea of climbing a ladder, never to return to the ground of being as one ascends in altitude, eventually succumbing to the altitude sickness so prevalent in "second-tier" perspectives.
