A SUNNY SECOND COMING - In response to H.B. Augustine's “Integral Politics: A 
Brief Outline of and Introduction to the Integral Era” - Daniel Gustav 
Anderson

H.B. Augustine's introductory essay on Integral Politics, "Integral Politics: 
A Brief Outline of and Introduction to the Integral Era", published at 
Integral World, is symptomatic of many of the explicitly political problems 
with the integral theory of Ken Wilber and his followers I diagnose in a 
recent essay, "Sweet Science." In a spirit of public debate, my purpose here 
is to summarize these general problems through Augustine's work, which 
crystallizes them in a convenient way; it is not to attack Augustine or his 
earnest convictions personally. Here, I intend to put some unconvincing and 
potentially harmful ideas to rest, and draw forward some ideas that may be 
more productive of future inquiry and future good for all beings without 
exception or compromise, rather than the accumulation of capital (spiritual, 
emotional, or social capital, or capital as such) for a spiritually-authorized 
and trademarked Authority.

A DARKER SIDE TO ENLIGHTENNEXT - William Yenner

Recently it has been announced that Andrew Cohen and his organization, 
EnlightenNext, are selling their ashram in Lenox MA and moving. This has 
brought about news articles and discussion, which include some recent and very 
heated comments to local newspapers and online forums. I wanted to respond 
since as author of a recently published book about Andrew Cohen I have often 
been the focus of much of the ire expressed. Some of these comments also infer 
that I am completely discounting any value at all to any aspects of this 
organization. I am making no such claim, and to my knowledge none of Andrew 
Cohen's critics are either. To suggest this only appears as an attempt to 
deflect from the main issue.
