What is an Integral Spirit?




My ILP for today: sleeping too late, being groggy and doing just a few powerlifting movements at the gym to wake me up. I was about to write "wake my body up". That would distance me from my body and that would be less than integral. ;)

I started reading Stephen King's Tommyknockers. It's a good balancing act to do stuff just for one's own amusement. As I see it, Ken Wilber's Big Three is translated into everyday life as the balance between three perspectives: one's own; other peoples' and God's - however one may wish to conceive those. My take is that the Big Three of Life Integral is the balance between Work, Fun and Practice. That balance experienced and expressed simultaneously through Body, Mind and Heart gives rise to Spirit: one's life purpose. As expansive as it may be, it can - and should - be distilled into a simple sentence.

My purpose? To attain the Divine Function of Genuine Conscience through Evolutionary Enlightenment of the Authentic Self by means of my Integral Life Practice.

So Integral Spirit, then, is the unique expression of one's purpose in life prosessed through an AQAL lens. Integral Spirit is the honoring of my particular consciousness through valuable work that benefits all beings. Integral Spirit is the expression of the life's Big Three - Work, Fun and Practice - in head, heart and soma, all at once.
