Joe Perez (of Soulful Blogger) is now back and blogging individually, at Rising Up.

I had kept up a faithful readership with him, as he is making a sincere and productive attempt to take integral INTO the wider world of social and political commentary. 

In his STEAM post, he presents one of the first attempts at Keep It Simple, Inspiring. 

How do you think he does?

Here's another description of someone's integral practice.

Rick has started to blog, A very comprehensive description of an integral practice in this post, and a lot of other good posts on the site as well. 

I've discussed this before, but I particularly agree with the idea that for an individual's creation of an integral practice it is best to simplify, and one of the best general category simplifiers is  "body, mind, spirit".  Rick speaks of this in his first post.  It works for me to then add "the Other", because it is easy to get involved with "my body, my mind, my spirit" (practice).  When I add The Other, for me, it keeps in mind the duties, service, and care for friends, family, and community.

I think this makes the most simple graft of AQAL, on a personal level - "body, mind, spirit, other". 

And then for myself, I add "professional".  Which, in the post I link to above, Rick adds as well.

It's a bit different when you are contributing to advancing Integral Knowledge, Theory, or fleshing out a certain line, level, or state of awareness and practice.  That can, and does, need a lot of detail, complexity, research and feedback, analysis, deep reflection, etc.

But individuals need to KISI - preferably they will KISI me!!
