deborah jane watson on Featured Article: Telos – A Consciousness Based Perspective - 02/15/2012
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article 'A consciousness based perspective', it made perfect sense to me and is closley related to the work( life & passion) that I am involved with, which is a person-centred training and personal development (development of self) program. I find ancient greek of great interest (looking to the greats for inspiration I suppose) and I came across your site after searching the word 'Telos' - ancient greece which I discovered when looking for the ancient greek meaning of 'inner self'.

Glenn H. on Getting Back to the Body: Leadership Lessons on Power from the Martial Arts and Somatic Tradition - 01/29/2012
Dear John,I have read your article and completely feel I can embrace this natural wisdom you have shared with us and it parallels to the philosophy we espouse. You can check this out on biosync.com with my teacher. What intrigues me more is the desire to learn more about your approaches to and how I can give back this empowerment to the people who come in contact with our work.
Sebastian on Spiritual Friendship with Thomas Hubl: A Weekend Workshop at One Spirit Learning Alliance - 01/26/2012
Great article Michael Thanks. Thomas is not my teacher, but I love his work, he is really an astounding outstanding visionary. Highly recommendable, with so many unique, deep and radical approaches and visions and absolutely integrally informed. He is one of those Andrew Cohen calls "rare individuals", someone who is droven, fierce and superdeep like Ken or Andrew, combined with an ability I dont even see in Ken(blessed may be every spot on the earth he has walked on ; ) ; ) ), Andrew wouldnt care, he is different from anyone himself anyway himself(Andrew is my choice) Thomas:. he can say one sentence and it hits people up and down the spiral in the heart, and its not lying, not strategy, it is one multidimensional truth, true on multiple levels, simple, deep, complete, light, radical, fierce and bold and loving. He is reall the first example Ive seen so far who can really apply integral multidimensional communication without effort. Every aspect of a teaching on the subject of Ego hits the whole spiral as well, with every great teacher, but thats another issue, I also mean like all Lifereality world stuff....Great Guy
wendelin Kuepers on Leadership Wisdom and the Perspective of Time - 01/26/2012
hi being involved in research on practical wisdom, I really liked this inspiring article about the proto-integral qualities of wisdom and its links to temporality.Some questions emerged, for example to learn more about what happens if these interconnected pillars of wisdom get into tensions with each other.I found the links very helpful to understand the background of this fascinating concept!looking forward to hear/read more and get into dialogue about these most relevant ideaskindest regards wendelin
Patricia Albere on Feature Article: What is Second Tier: Powers and Perspectives Available to Leaders at Second Tier - 01/22/2012
Thank you Russ - I've shared the article with the participants in the Evolutionary Collective. Many of them shared that reading it was deeply experiential - visceral in contacting their own recognition of what you were pointing to. I loved it and hope you write more about different aspects of 2nd and 3rd tier - you do it so well!Patricia
Deborah Boyar on Spiritual Friendship with Thomas Hubl: A Weekend Workshop at One Spirit Learning Alliance - 01/18/2012
BEAUTIFUL article, Michael! Thank you so much for this 3rd and 1st person perspective on Thomas' work. I feel like I understand it much better now and want to explore further. Much appreciation for your generosity and transparency.
Richard Bordoni on Martin Ucik, Author of Integral Relationships, in Discourse with Integral New York - 01/13/2012
In addition to Ucik's book, I invite anybody interested in integral relationships to check out the work of Authentic World / Authentic Man Program (a google search will suffice.) In my opinion, Decker and Bryan at Authentic World bring a level of subjectivity and experiential work that is not present in the intellectual dissection of relationships that Ucik presents.
Richard Bordoni on Getting Back to the Body: Leadership Lessons on Power from the Martial Arts and Somatic Tradition - 01/13/2012
Thank you for this great essay. I hope in the coming years more and more people will begin to recognize the profound importance of the body (especially in the Integral community).

Brian OConnell on Book Review: Integral Psychotherapy and With a Commentary on Ken Wilber's AQAL and Types - 01/10/2012
Types are not as flat as it seems. And much work needs to be done. But there are level/types in AQAL. And true, levels in types have not been done fully yet. And the Types category is not as broad as it seems. It is Male and Female with personality types ( Which makes it a small category in AQAL, which is why it is last, but the detail it brings is key). Levels can not get to, how a perspective can be seen with from agency and/or communion and, to how horizontally a perspective can be fixated in a personality type. So like everything else in AQAL types do not stand on there own. A personality type at one level is very different at another. So types are important to show fixations at each level, male/female with personality types.And there is another problem with types in Ken's AQAL. It is kept open, when it should have formulated its own personality types based on the Big Three. Instead of using any system one choices like the Enneagram or Myers-Briggs etc. And the problem is that the Big Three has been used in Enneagram using dialectical logic. But dialectical logic can not integrate the big three. If you study the enneagram you should come across were it came from, Oscar Ichazo. And the formulations from his work of the Enneagram have misunderstood his work, right from the beginning. They never understood trialectics which is an integral logic.So in many ways you are right, AQAL can not just throw in a first tier typology in a second tier system. It needs a second tier typology for a second tier system. And the only one I know is Oscar Ichazo's personality types. But don't just throw out types all together, cause without types we could not understand how we are so different at each level.I think in types there needs to be another type, I call it core types, but is known as "character structures" from bio-energetics or Core Energetics. So Male/Female, Personality and Core types. Which happen at each stage.

Laurie on Where are the Women? Saging the Invisible into the Visible - 11/16/2011
Very interesting article Marilyn, thank-you. I will contemplate more on this. It stirs me. It plunges me into my deep interiors. It summons my inner Woman of Wisdom to draw forth the potential future from the infinite fertile void, but just now, it is inexpressible, as if on the tip of my tongue. Hmmmm...

Don Dunoon on Mindfulness and Leadership: Opening up to Possibilities - 11/14/2011
Hello Andrew, Thanks for your interest! I’m broadly aware of MPF’s contribution but don’t claim any specialized knowledge. You’ve prompted me to delve further into her ideas. I’d also be interested to hear more about the thinking behind your mention of her work in this context.
