One of the things you don't see covered much in integral theory, or in spirituality, for that matter, is the nature of power relations, both how they function and flow, in the context of a spiritual life, or a spiritual organization.

The actuality of power relations, both in society in general, and in spirituality, cover a wide range. 

From the "how high sir?" mentality of the military, to the "whatever you say guruji" of oldline spiritual authority, on the one side, to the flattening of the power dynamic in certain IT companies, and the "spiritual helper" dynamic of New Age circles, how power is used, utilized, and dealt with from a social perspective, would be good to examine.

Usually the "great charismatic Godman", tends towards a power dynamic of domination, rather than an egalitarian power dynamic - and that is true whether it is Ken Wilber, Adi Da etc.  The same thing that is attractive about these folks - i.e., their intelligence, drive, and charisma - is the same thing that creates a power relation that is "old school", in its effects.

Even more important, spiritual seekers often have an unexamined relationship with their own inflexibility in preferences, for power relationships.  It's actually a good growth opportunity to have DIFFERENT experiences of power dynamics.   Be the "grunt" in either a military or spiritual circle, who will be willing to "say yes" to whatever is asked.  Do that for six months, to change one's internal dynamics of resistance.

Then do the student/teacher relationship, where guidance is given, but not enforced, and see if you can be the will for own self, in transformation.

Then, do interactive groups, (what is that process called?  The Open Circle, or something?) whereby everyone is brought to a "yes", through a long, (and drawn out) collaborative and inclusive process.

There are pluses and minuses to each of the above.   In all of the above, where one wants to end up with is "doing what is needed", from the best perspective available at that time. 

Both power and status end up being significant motivators, more than are acknowledged in either the spiritual or integral world - and these TYPE of relations should be exposed as more explicit, than implicit.
