Wishing You a Happy Holiday and a Very Happy New Year

Dear friends,

On behalf of the entire team at Integral Life and Integral Institute, we want to wish you a very warm holiday and a happy New Year.  Thank you for your support, commitment and love as together we continue to build a global community dedicated to the wholeness and fullness of human life.
 

We live in exciting, volatile and challenging times.  It seems that with every passing month we encounter the schisms of a civilization that is confronting the limitations of its present modes of understanding and operating.  And yet we also know that within every challenge and constraint hides a deep transformative impulse to new ways of being.  In short, yet another year has passed that is challenging a globalizing and increasingly connected human family to learn how to love and share a precious and finite world.  
 

We think that integral knowledge and practices can offer simple yet profound lessons on how to facilitate this growth process, and we are deeply grateful that you are with us for the journey. We continue to learn and grow ourselves, and we’re thrilled that in 2011 we will be bringing some major changes to the IntegralLife.com community. (More on that soon!)
 

As you bring your year to a close, we invite you to reflect on the great blessings of your life.  Every day fill your heart with gratitude.  Every day construct your actions of kindness. Every day practice love.  And remember that every day, every moment, the Simple Feeling of Wholeness is always-already our greatest inheritance, that nothing you can do now or ever will make you more whole.  
 

Let us stoke this radiant way of being in ourselves and in each other.  Let us light the world as we welcome the New Year.
 

Warm holiday wishes,

               

Ken Wilber                     Robb Smith

Thank you......

Words often can't express the powerful love and gratitude held in the heart. My years of being a part of the Integral community and getting to know so many of you has deepened and expanded my own consciousness. My capacity to love and feel compassion has come from Ken and all of you in this beautiful community.

I had the opportunity to spend time with so many of  you again and sit with Ken at the Boulder Incubator in November; it was, again for me, an embodiment of love to be with so many like-minded souls committed to Integral service and teaching. I witnessed so many unique gifts of love through an intimate touching and sharing of our gifts. I am so blessed to be a part of something so great and emerging as our Integral movement. Without you Ken, and those who work tirelessly with you, this would not be possible.....I love you all.

Namaste,

Mary Linda

I appreciate this

I appreciate how you have said this. I am learning to allow in more of what is said that makes sense, and that's good-hearted and well-intentioned - thank you, Ken, Robb, and the larger invisible crew, most of whom I don't know at all. There is a lot on this forum and in this larger organization that makes it informingly past my quirky filters that range a varied territory between acceptance and rejection and within the larger AQAL surround.

"Love" - now that's a broad and deeply fertile, benignly virulent, and even practical possibility that I'm curious about. It is mentioned plenty by participants and presenters.

Thank you, again. Best wishes to you each and all. Warm regards, ambo

Thank You

Thank you for this beautiful letter. I appreciated your statement; “We continue to learn and grow ourselves …”. To me this signifies a mature humility and an openness to continual new learning. I see this as the opposite of a prideful, know it all attitude which is all too easy to slip into.

 

I especially appreciate your statements; “Every day practice love” and “…connected human family to learn how to love and share a precious and finite world". I believe that love, kindness, compassion, and charity are the foundation, heart, and very substance of what integral means.  

 

Perhaps we could set the practice of extending love, kindness, compassion, and charity towards our self, each other and the World as a community wide intention for the New Year? Perhaps we could begin experimenting with this practice at our upcoming Integral Spiritual Experience on love?
