In Reference to:
Divine Pride and the Integral Movement

Bold, beautiful, brave and God authentic. Only God could call us to attention, through our beloved Ken, in this way. Integral is my home; the internal and external space of felt liberation, to be 'who I am' in the fullest expression of what it means to be infinitely realized, through my body/mind. No where can I express this felt divine presence, that lives through me and into all my life experiences, as freely and joyfully as I do with my Integral family 

In my world where so many perspectives abide, this presence within me expresses, but it is done with great humility to honor those perspectives not fully understanding. I try and give enough to open their curiosity without pushing them away. Like Ken says, its not easy and its very lonely. Because divine love is the primary energy of this great, integral level of consciousness, most people, without really understanding, respond to this love. Yet the language is foreign; they don't speak it or understand it.

It can be frustrating because divine presence wants to awaken them from their deep sleep. Once this evolutionary love gains consciousness of itself it seeks to find itself in others. But my own journey of awakening wasn't easy.....from early in my life, the thrust towards this greatness of being, carried me like a great tidal wave towards higher and higher levels, wiping out anything and everything that didn't support its fullest expression. The surrender part is not easy. So, sadly, unless one is so called and commited, it can feel easier to remain asleep.

But, I also feel those of us who have made this commitment, hold a higher frequency of divine energy. This energy is a conveyor current that is gaining force and waking great numbers now on our planet ready for a shift or leap in their own consciousness. And, this we space, Ken has created with so many other great Integral leaders are here to help those now waking.

My heart is so open right now after listening to Ken. He radiates love, passion, and divine pride. He gives me courage to feel this great pride of being a part of the greatest transformation on our planet.

Thank you Ken and my prayers of love and healing go out to you everyday. I want more and more PLEASE.

With love,

Mary Linda

and still more, again

I hear and feel what you are saying, Mary Linda.

It seems as if I have always been an "outlier", outside of the bell curves within which "normal" people live. and I have been lonely at times, near-suicidal at times, being unable to communicate with my "peers", even with fellow masters in nursing students and instructors.

With the help of the works of Ken Wilber, and Barbara Dossey, I have finally begun to accept that maybe, maybe it is a good thing to be living in this frothy wavefront. It is quite similar to my early attempts at body-surfing...frightening, exciting, and extreemely satisfying when I can keep myself on top of the wave instead of scraping my body on the sand beneath the wave.

I could say that I have been called to this, though most of the journey I feel I have been dragged, kicking and screaming, to this point. It has been a hard trek, so very hard much of the way...physically, emotionally and spritually painful at times.

Integral Life has been, literally, a life saver for me, and I wait impatiently for each new audio, video, and article it provides. Each gives me another perspective from which to view, better understand (?), where I am now and what is driving me.

Over a year ago, now, my Masters' project to discover a way to teach the art of Nursing Presence, pulled me into increasingly frequent state experiences of the Turquois levels of Nursing which Florence Nightingale predicted would flower in these times. It was an almost constant state, and I was unable to communicate in the formal operations format required, how I got to where I was. I did not have the "language" of Integral, or the experience of living in the Integral Stage, which would enable me to translate what I was experiencing into that format.

Only now, with a year and a half of reading and listening to all the archived and new offerings, and applying as much as I could, am I nearing readiness to move on, complete my degree, and begin teaching nursing from an integral and tourquise perspective.

Yes, Ken and all of you, "More, Please".
