If you become a member of Integral Life you will be exposed to perspectives, knowledge, content and community found nowhere else, month after month. You'll have access to interviews with integral thinkers, video, audio, e-learning experiences, books, products, blogging and more. More importantly we will ask you to reflect on your expanding awareness in a way that helps you learn, helps you transform, helps you better translate your experience, and helps you live with greater authenticity to your purpose. Some of our members spend hours on the site every week, some check in for just a few minutes when they want to reconnect with a broader perspective or perhaps to address some question or issue they've been wrestling with. Integral Life is less a product or even a service and more like a lifelong friend.... [+learn more]
No one is 100% wrong." - Ken Wilber
The Integral Map is an all-inclusive model developed by Ken Wilber that organizes the insights of the world's greatest knowledge traditions: from psychology, science, systems theory, anthropology, mysticism and sociology to spirituality, religion, politics, medicine and biology. By understanding that no one discipline contains the complete truth, but rather many partial truths, we can organize these insights and truths into a more comprehensive map of reality.
The Integral Map is more than just a theory, it's a way to live your life directly in accord with reality.... [+learn more]

between Ken and Marilyn was particularly fine in this interview, book review, and exploration of integral cityness. The attunement of understanding in this application, which isn't always so pronounced in his interviews, seemed so alive here. I enjoy seeing Ken enjoying bits of another person's work that has cut into new territory of theory and application.
One example among various seemed to be Ken's resonance in the apparent reflection of the functioning of bee hives in their complexities (with just four types of roles) with the complexity of roles and holons within a city. Conformity enforcers, diversity/novelty generators, distributors of reward, and judgers (I am not getting these titles exactly accurate) can in contextually appropriate proportions co-create within environments so much vibrant balance and staying power - nature seems to have discovered something that keeps on giving, even with people.
I enjoyed Marilyns level of competency with the integral model and map, her specific field of expertise, along with plenty of understanding of the need for a growing technology of metrics. This measuring of status of conditions and peoples and things is a recurring theme on ILC and through out a world that hopes to survive and self-improve. Maybe a little like the bee judging of performance and result and situation within the hive.
Very good and informative for me. Thanks, ambo
