Art Gallery: Nature of Mind
Alex Grey & Ken Wilber

In this very special art gallery, we take a close look at Nature of Mind—an extraordinary piece of art by Alex Grey, one of the world's most renowned and widely-recognizable integral artists. Nature of Mind consists of seven beautiful panels, set in a sculpted gold-leaf frame, and uses the symbols of Dzogchen to evoke the universal story of the spiritual path—leading from darkness to illumination to transcendence, and finally to non-dual union.

As a way to further celebrate and explore this remarkable work of art, we are also offering a special dialogue with Alex Grey and Ken Wilber, who take us on an intimate and in-depth tour through the various panels of Nature of Mind. Here they discuss both the inspiration and the execution of the piece (Nature of Mind: A Guided Tour) as well as a brief overview of Alex's background, his growth as an artist, and his distinctive style of portraying the gross, subtle, and causal anatomies we all possess (Grey's Anatomy).

Jeff Salzman & David Riordan
written by Corey W. deVos

"Last month, the world became a little bit dimmer as the news of Steve Jobs' death began to circulate across the globe. On a personal level, I was surprised by the weight of the sadness that Steve's death created within me. I did not know Steve Jobs, I had no personal relationship with him at all, but nonetheless I could feel a palpable loss in my life. The timing of the news was especially painful: I was literally right in the middle of sending out our weekly Integral Life update, which featured a discussion about the intersection of mortality and technology, when I received the first notice of his death—in iChat on my MacBook Pro, no less—leaving a darkly poetic ache in my heart...."

The 5 Spiritual Myths that Sabotage Your Conscious Evolution

You know that beyond spiritual ideas and experiences, there is one thing that's essential for our personal and collective evolution—an authentic transformative practice.

That's the "open secret" of the spiritual life. Yet for too many of us, something gets in the way of actually doing the practices that we love, and that we know in our hearts will transform us.
