New blog - Integral Transformation

i've just set up a new blog http://integraltransformation.blogspot.com/ (which is still a bit rough; i need to fine-tune it, add more links and so on), which is my second blog (Zaadz being the first). 

It occured to me that some of the zaadz postings I've been doing on my blog weren'r really applicable to zaadz.  So I thought it best to set up a whole new blog.  Since a lot of people in the integral movement seem to use Blogspot rather than Live Journal I decided to go with that, although there are couple of interesting people using LIve Journal.

Sorry about the Wilber criticism of the last blog post and the linked essay; I know a lot of people here are fans of his work; anyway I've basically said everything I wanted to say about him in my essay on Integral World (although a few more minor points will be posted in a  follow up essay).   For the rest I fully agree with C4Chaos when he said (in the course of email conversation) that deconstructing Ken is pretty lame, because it doesn't offer anything practical.

Thus what I would like to do, both on Zaadz and on Blogspot, is offer a practical alternative version of what Integral means.

To me, as an aurobindonian-  Wow, that sounds a bit fundamentalistic!  It reminds me of when i used to have discussions and debates with Christians (they were very decent and broad-minded spiritual people, I'm not talking about fundamentalists; I would talk with them too but it was much more frustrating!), and they would always say "As a Christian, I- (whatever)"  Their attitude always felt alien to me. 

Ok, let's start that again.

To me, as an enthusiastic student of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (that's better), "Integral" cannot be just theory, it cannot be just mental.  Integral has to be practical, and it has to be about transformation, an Integral Transformation of all aspects of the individual being and the collective consciousness, the Earth as a whole.

Here is my preliminary and hastily written definition that I posted on Blogspot

-----------------------------------

I decided to call this blog Integral Transformation, because that is what it will be about, and what I am interested in. This will involve the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and divine, the individual and collective, the exoteric and esoteric, the secular and the sacred, the scientific and the occult, in fact all dichotomies, can and should be incorporated.

-----------------------------------

Now that I have two blogs it would be sort of pointless to post the same thing on both.  Hopefully both should unfold and develop and I'll get a  feeling of what sort of things to post on one, and what sort on the other.
