Meaning
- The Secret of Being Alive - Cliff Havener

worldview. It was written for everyone who has ever asked him or
herself "How come my best stuff gets me into the most
trouble?"

|
 |
Breakpoint
and Beyond - George Land and Beth Sharman
 |
This is about the "big picture"

past 10,000 or so years. It's fundamental. |

comprehend. |

Links

Lights-on
Network
 |
This site is dedicated to the emerging
integrative view of life. Its spirit is probably best expressed by
the quote on its home page : "The most visible creators
are those artists whose medium is life itself. Their medium is
being. Whatever their presence touches has increased life. They
see and don't have to draw. They are the artists of being alive..."

Search for Meaning. It provides an extensive array of

integrated, fulfilled life - meaning in their everyday pursuits.

the human mind. It has found abilities that our traditional view
of reality could never believe possible.

view of reality.

 |
The Meaning of Life, the Universe and
Everything
 |
The name of this site might make you think
its another claim to "omniscience" by someone far less
than omniscient, but it's actually a very clear, complete
description of the integrative view of life, written by a single
individual who clearly "gets it".
|
|
 |
Integral Spirit
 |
Integral Spirit, now known as Ikosmos, is a
large resource of books, articles, and art dedicated to the
integrative view of reality.

 |
The Foundation for Ethics and Meaning
 |
This organization is founded on the belief
that people are yearning for meaningful connections to each other
and to a purpose greater than themselves. It encourages a spirit
of caring and a process of mutual recognition that promotes
inclusive, sustainable, and just communities - in other words, an
integrative view of life. It is focused largely on business and
politics. |
