Huge topic. Corey, you should definitely write a book on ''The Integrally Informed World Citizen'' in your spare time. Just think of all the smart, talented, dedicated, young activists out there that could be turned on to integral by such a book. Just setting the bar of integral as an ideal, as far and wide across the global commons as possible, ...

Therefore, it helps us to be free(of our own self-absorbed perspective) and opens us up to love whatever we can see. This morning while watching my soon-to-be 10 year old son walk

Hi Katie,   I share your excitement.  Maybe you can relate to my recent delight.  My 2 older sons (9&11) were watching a remake of the old Body Snatchers movie called, The Invasion, which has the new James Bond actor in it and Nicole Kidman.  I was downstairs.  At some point the boys holler down to me, ''Hey ...
