Integral Movement page on Wikipedia

I have to admit, the Integral Movement page on Wikipedia seems to be shaping up quite well. I was quite concerned about the resistance of Wikipedia to even progressive ideas like Integralism (even though it is exoteric), and saw this resistance as an example of the old consciousness against the new. Well, it is, but the new consciousness can still establish itself in the current status quo; indeed it is absolutely essential that it does so, if change and transformation is to occur.

So I've been merging material from redirect pages, and with footnotes it is looking more scholarly. So even though these conservatives annoy me, i have to admit that I do agree with them that in terms of current popular knowledge (and that is what Wikipedia represents, the status of popular Western secular knowledge as it is at present, all from a geekish perspective) one can't justify a whole string of Integral articles. But a single one, well written, on the Integral Movement, is a good idea.

So if anyone reading this wants to chip in and add to the page, please do so! Especially important are footnotes and citations, so it is best to add stuff that can be referred to in print or in scholarly online articles.

hi ~C

currently very busy on my book. I should post the old Integral Psychology page (the original deleted from Wikipedia) there, when i have a few minutes spare.

Michael Dowd - sounds like an amazing guy, but unless he uses the word "integral", or is referred as such by others, I can't really include a mention of him on the WP page. He's better defined as an "evolutionary ally"

cheers bro

Having seen your so much interest in the "Inner Sciences" I want to ask you one thing that " Do you want to meet the ' PERFECT MASTER / PURAN SANT(SATGURU) ' ?" He has given "GOD'S WORD / NAAM DAAN " to millions of people and thousands of people have seen what you have described in page http://www.kheper.net/topics/Sant_Mat/The_Creation.html exactly same planes and stages exists beyond this world as you have explained in their? the main thing about "THE PERFECT MASTER " I am talking about is that he doesn't accepts anything from you in form of money or anything rather he believes in giving.
I am sure you know many things but this experience is going to be different you will really enjoy this. If you want to know more things please let me know at vaibhav_arora71@yahoo.com or at vaibhavarora71@gmail.com , I am doing this for the Nobel cause and I am looking forward for your positive reply.
