Just received this email:

Beta testers needed for Integral Naked 1.1!! IN community, Integral Naked is about to reveal the first of many web advancements we have been working diligently on behind the scenes over the past year. We have plugged IN into...The Multiplex!!! While the changes to the surface of this next-gen IN will be subtle, the engine will be much more powerful, allowing IN to overcome the challenges to the site we have discovered over the years and innovate in ways never before possible. The most obvious improvements will be in the login process, your account management and the Forum. This will also be the seamless platform to access all I-I future offerings. The final step in this development is the obligatory Beta test in which we enlist a couple hundred of our best friends to comb over the site looking for every last little bug that may be hiding under the rugs. This is where you come in. To help us out go to: http://betain.integralinstitute.org

I logged into this - not much different so far, from a very cursory glance. 

A couple of changes in the Forum, a bit more flashy graphics embedded into the engine, possible a new column of announcements.  I'll look around, see if there is anything else.

Integral Spirituality is going to be one of the new books released by Ken Wilber, in early 2006.

From the IN site:

This 118-page essay is not to be confused with the 350-page book Integral Spirituality: A Startling New Role for Religion in the Modern and Postmodern World (to be published by Integral Books/Shambhala in the summer of 2006). This book will also be pre-posted in its entirety at www.IntegralSpiritualCenter.org in January, 2006

I would like to start the analysis of this draft - and then later the book by analyzing the truth claims of the draft (at least to start). 

In the first place, the fundamental thesis that I am positing that Integral Spirituality is - more so than any previous work of Wilber's - at its base, a philosophical work of  a rich, detailed, and inclusive EPISTEMOLOGY - both inividual and collective.

(Here is also the Wikipedia page on epistemology.)

As such, quite separate from substantive and ontological claims by Wilber, this work can be judged on the merits of the epistemological claims.

This multi-part analysis is going to follow the following structure.

Part I:  Brief historical analysis of the development of Wilber's thought.
Part II:  Historical predecessors - some analysis of previous work, that has similar analytic trends and thoughts as Wilber's.
Part III:  You down with the IMP?  Yeah you know me! (and us)
Part IV:  An exercise in Figure Drawing - Quadrants, Cubes, and Octahedrons
Part V:   The Claim of One Direction Complexity- Lines and Levels
Part VI:  Shifting Sands:  Expanding Outward into Science, Psychology, and Spirit.
Part VII:  Further Shifting Sands - or Wilber recapitulates Habermas


That's the plan.  Let me know if there are any thoughts on this.
