The ego is thought to be an abstraction simply because it is not “experience-near” (Arlow, 1991; Meissner, 2000). But this orientation to the ego, or any other psychic structure, has serious limitations, based on a false premise. The fact that some aspect of the psyche is not presently accessible to awareness, or experience-far, does not make it abstract." http://www.integralworld.net/sleeth1.html Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:32:57 +0200 "Five years ago when I began my study of the modern Integral Spirituality and Science, it was a vibrant, dynamic collage of ideas, meeting the best of the east with the best of the western spiritual tradition of independent inquiry. Today it may become, or at best it is becoming, consumed by two western postmodern traditions that will inevitably consume Integral Spirituality into the morass of pedestrian thought where soon it will be an afterthought only spoken about in Wikipedia with other stillborn cults, and post-modern philosophies going nowhere." http://www.integralworld.net/ishaq9.html Mon, 19 Jan 2009 10:32:57 +0200
