Good news, everyone!  We are moving our inventory warehouse to a brand new location.  Why is this good news for you?  because we are looking for a way to avoid as much heavy lifting as possible (manual labor being way down at the bottom of Maslow's Hierarchy of Things-We-Need-To-Do), so we decided to substantially drop the prices of some of our most popular products.  All Integral Naked Premiers, Stuart Davis CDs and DVDs, David Deida's Function, Flow, and Glow DVD, and Joe Perez's Soufully Gay are all $4.99 for a limited time while supplies last.

ISE 3 Economy Rebate

There's no doubt we feel weighed down by our stunted economy. And it's not particularly comforting to watch the political upheaval as we ramp up towards another election year. As we wait to see how this all unfolds, riding the manic swings of the stock market, we're forced to watch trillions of dollars fluctuate daily. It's no wonder we're feeling hopeless as we try to make sense out of so much chaos and uncertainty.

Because of this uncertain financial situation, and the resulting need to explore and embody creative solutions to the problems facing our world, we've decided to offer an Economy Rebate when you register for this year's Integral Spiritual Experience. Follow the link to save $300 with our ISE 3 Economy Rebate. Offer expires September 28th. [+more]

Art Gallery: Evolve Above
David Wetzl
with commentary by Michael Schwartz

"Over the last 12 years my artwork has visually and symbolically employed the eight levels of consciousness that have been discovered, and put forth, by the Developmental Psychologists from the 20th and 21st century era. I learned about these psychologists from Ken Wilber. If you view the paintings that I have created, you will see that they evolve, in terms of color ideology, from beige (low end psyche) to turquoise (higher end psyche), and all six of the other psychological color elements in between. Even though there are higher levels of consciousness other then what I am discussing, my paintings evolve, usually beginning from the subconscious level, and elevate and end at the intuitive contemplative realm of turquoise, put forward by the developmental psychologists...." -David Wetzl [+view]

Tipping Points and the
Eye of Contemplation

Ken Wilber

You've probably heard one of Ken's most famous prophecies—namely, that once 10% of a population reaches an integral wave of development, integral values will begin permeating mainstream culture. But, have you heard that its been proven? Well, it has, at least according to Facebook—along with a group of RPI scientists—who've published their lower-right account of the cultural development in an obscure journal on soft matter physics. You can find it right next to the article on isochronal chaos synchronization of delay-coupled optoelectronic oscillators. How's that for a mouthful? [+listen]

Waking Up Is Not Enough
Jun Po Roshi & Doshin Roshi

In this delightful and frank discussion, Rinzai Zen patriarchs Jun Po Roshi and Doshin Roshi discuss why meditation and spiritual insight alone cannot transform ourselves or the world. From an Integral point of view, simply Waking up isn't enough. We are also being called to Grow Up (mature emotionally) and to Show Up (embody our insight in our daily lives). Jun Po's unique Mondo Zen process is a nondual approach to emotions, in which our angst, informed by Zen mind, becomes our liberation. Provocative, insightful, and deeply transformative, this discussion lays bear the dilemma around Integral spiritual practice—and one powerful solution. [+listen]

For an experience of the transmission and transformation of Zen mind, don't miss the upcoming Integral Zen retreat this October in Loveland, Colorado. Jun Po and Doshin Roshi will delve into an advanced Integral practice experience, including deep insight, philosophical reindoctrination, emotional maturity, and conscious embodiment. As Ken Wilber says, Mondo Zen is integral—and it works! $100 Early Bird Discount ends Sept. 15! [+more]
