At least according to my definitions, the "floor" levels of integral practice are defined - now, the issue is, how to build on that, and also building financially viable structures to allow functional integral practices to flow through easily.
As I define integral practice, as I've said many many times, it is in the following areas -
a. Body -- diet, exercise, medicine
b. Relationships - partner, family, community
c. Service - (related to relationships) - giving, doing FOR others, love,etc.
d. Spirituality - meditation, non-dual, i-thou, realization, selfless love, sangha
e. Professional growth - productivity, developing skills, innate talents and abilities, discipline, accomplishment
f. Psychological - shadow work, therapeutic work, ego/sub-personalities and integration, optimistic attitude, the power of meaning in life,
g. Creativity - further self-expression, in any of the above areas, or simply creativity for creativy's sake.
I believe that most of the above - a through g, currently has at least a "top 3" recommended activities, or where to focus.
I'll spend time over the next month going through the "top 3" practices for each area, a through g.
Now, this of course means that the "mysteries", are pscychological and structural - given all the great advice, knowledge, and information out there on "how best to live" - why don't more people take the advice, knowledge, and information, and make their life, and others, better? How to deal with those resistances - be it the "7 deadly sins", or simple resistance.
