Nexus and coordination point for online Integral resources.

www.integralinstitute.org

Dedicated to the proposition that partial and piecemeal approaches to complex problems are ineffective. Whether addressing individual and personal issues of meaning and transformation, or increasingly complex social problems such as war, hunger, disease, over-population, housing, ecology, and education, partial and fragmented approaches need to be replaced by solutions that are more comprehensive, systematic, encompassingóand integral.

www.integralnaked.org

Contains weekly audio dialogues, conversations, blogs, and video clips of the worldís greatest living teachers, all of whom are sympathetic to the Integral approach for both personal growth and for addressing the worldís most critical problems. These are conversations you can hear nowhere else, including ones with Larry Wachowski (The Matrix), Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park), George Lucas (Star Wars), Bill Clinton, Tony Robbins, Father Thomas Keating, Julia Ormond, Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Saul Williams, Deepak Chopra, Surya Das, Genpo Roshi, Ottmar Liebert, Ed Kowalczyk of Live, Warren Bennis, Peter Senge, among literally hundreds of other guests and visitors.

Publisher of the majority of Wilber's books. Contains a great deal of unpublished/ soon-to-be published material.

Integral University (www.integraluniversity.org)

In the fall of 2004, around 20 websites will go up all at once, linked together through an Integral Commons. Each website is actually a college at Integral University (aka the Multiplex). The number of colleges is set to expand from 20 to 40 or more within a year, with each of these already under planning or construction.

Each college or domain website at Integral University is hosted by one or more of the foremost authorities in that particular field, all of whom are associates of Integral Institute. General membership in the Multiplex, however, is open to anybody who sincerely wishes to become involved in integral training, practice, and applications.

Sites include Integral Psychology, Integral Sex and Gender, Integral Consciousness Studies, Integral Politics, Integral Transformative Practice, Integral Ecology, Integral Finance, Integral Psychiatry, Integral Art, Integral Business, and so on.

www.matrixintegral.org is another excellent resource and contains great introductory material, which I'll probably reproduce here.

is there anything on IT that's in print (any of it introductory)? i hate reading off the web if there's a choice between electronic and book form. isn't it said that people read up to 25% slower when it's from the computer screen?

by the way, ever considered posting a piece on how you came to IT in the first place (unless there is one already, and i didn't find it)? the users here may find that journey interesting and even useful.

Great idea starscream; I actually have a first-person account written already (which the Institute will use as part of a "phenomenological account" of ITP), so I may post that at some point.

With regard to print, I recommend starting with Wilber's Theory of Everything, though I hear A Brief History of Everything is also an excellent place to start.

Only peripherally, but hopefully moreso in the future.
