 One of the extraordinary things about these Integral Life Art Galleries is that you can choose your own level of engagement, and can go as deeply into them as you want to go. Ken Wilber often talks about the three modes of knowing symbolized by the "eye of flesh," the "eye of mind," and the "eye of spirit":
-
You can have a simple sensory experience of the shapes, colors, and composition of the actual artwork, just noticing the beauty and feeling how it lands in your body.
-
You can also use the intellectual treatments provided by Michael Schwartz with each gallery to deepen your overall aesthetic experience, as well as his exquisite exploration Looking at the Overlooked to learn some of the most important perspectives you can bring to any work of art.
-
And you can use the magnificent beauty these artists offer as a spiritual practice, a doorway to your own timeless self, immersed in effortless appreciation of everything in this universeas sometimes it takes something exceptionally beautiful for us to notice that everything is beautiful, exactly as it is.
All three of these experiences are available to you, and we invite you to take a moment to try each one as you drink in this month's gallery!

Corey W. deVos
"In an effort to make my pop-culture subject into an observable object, Ive become obsessed with trying to determine the overall shape and flavor of the past 10 years of pop culture. We all have an immediate sense of what the phrase the sixties means, just like we all know what we mean by the seventies, the eighties, and the ninetieseach decade having particular cultural and artistic elements that comprise our overall sense of zeitgeist for that era.
But the 00s have been somewhat different, and our current pop-culture identity considerably more difficult to pin down.... "

New to Integral? Start Here!
We have the intuition that everyone is at least partially right, that no human being is capable of being 100% wrong. But how do you tell just how right everyone is? Some are more right than others—how do you tell the difference?
Integral theory is an attempt to answer that question.
Here we offer some basic overviews of Integral theory and its application in the world, in many different media formats. If you are new to the Integral vision, any of these would be a wonderful place to begin your journey toward a freer and much more enriching life....
