Universe Integral: How Integral Concepts are Incorporated within our Community and A Special Welcome to Integral Community Members A Special Welcome to Integral Community Members Our rapidly growing Universe Spirit community supports individuals seeking to integrate their personal spirituality with art, science philosophy and the best of the integral perspective. Our organization has although, selectively adopted a broad universe science-framed vision of the integral perspective as it is relevant to creating an universe spirituality and movement that is among other things a trans-denominational meta-spirituality. This integral Universe Spirit movement has a clear purpose and many goals, but is also dedicated to helping you expand your current personal spiritual path. Through example, it also seeks to enhance the integralization of the developmental "conveyor belt" found within current religious traditions to help better support the resolution of world problems. What is different about this website and organization is that you will see the best ideas and theory of the integral movement often invisibly woven into the design and content. Here you will also find people new to the integral movement and an integral universe spirituality finding themselves unconsciously applying the best of the integral movement's most practical and useful ideas before they even know exactly what the integral movement is, what its technical jargon is, or study integral philosophy in any depth. Unlike other integral movement organizations, we will not force you into long and complex integral philosophy study as well as techie terminology discussions of complex and continually evolving integral theory. You do not need to prove to us how bright you are or that you are "second tier" before you can actually start important practical actions that effectively improve your life and the world. The over heady, techie terminology theoretical discussion and study focus of some integral movement organizations has been a big part of why many people, (particularly women,) so quickly leave the integral movement or are simply turned off to its most valuable and useful ideas. Most people believe that theory is fine and knowing all the whys are good for a very small fraction of the population, but most people just want to use and test the theory out and see how it delivers practical and real benefits. That is what we have done on the Universe Spirit website with our seamless applications of the best of integral theory, integral philosophy and integral spirituality without its worst. What is also different about this new integral form of the Universe Spirit movement is that it is not Advaita Buddhist dominated in its spiritual perspective, nor does it accept the Advaita Buddhist "myths of the given" as final spiritual truth just because they are the favorite personal myths of key personalities or a majority of individuals in the current integral movement. Here you will find a truly open source form of "I, we it" meta-spirituality that equally honors both eastern and western mysticism and theologies and does not place one form of mysticism and theological expression developmentally above the other (as is subtly found in the Advaita Buddhist dominated Wilber Combs lattice.) If you have a Judeo-Christian background or current focus or an eastern spiritualities background or focus you will never feel that your spiritual mysticism and wisdom is being given a subtle developmental second seat at the table. (Click here if you would like a tangible example of one of our integral meditations that equally honors both the eastern and western "I, we it" of Ultimate Reality.) Finally, as a not for profit organization and movement we are focused exclusively upon developing practical and integral applications of authentic and safe spirituality derived in part, from the best ideas of the integral movement. We do not charge large fees for spiritual education or spiritual workshops. We are not designed primarily for the wealthy or some elite second tier developmental group nor are we celebrity endorsement focused. Our course and services exchange model is simple, affordable, voluntary and scale based. If you would like to be a part of this evolving new integral form of the Universe Spirit movement, we welcome you as a fellow life and spirit co-journeyer.
