List here.

These things are always subjective, but man - I can't help but think that there is quite a lot missing on this list, both in impact, and in popularity.

From the 00's, you have Muddy Waters?  A compilation?  Not that Muddy Waters isn't great but, still.  I'd like to see some nod to electronic - Paul Oakenfold, or Moby.  At least Outkast is there.   Even Dave Matthews makes more sense.  You can make a case for Wilco as well, but that's more underground, so I can understand why not as influential.

From the 90's - you have the Chronic - but not Tupac?  Not to mention - no Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Rage Against The Machine - both bands that redefined a new type of funky or harder sound. Alanis?  That Jagged Little Pill?  Again, quite influential for its time. (Overblown, but influential.)

From the 80's - Sign O' The Times?  Come on...

No Police. (At least they have the Talking Heads).

On the other hand, it looks like the 1970's were pegged correctly, from the stuff I have from that time period (after the fact, in this case.)

Others thoughts?  Paul? 

One thing about the Integral Life Practice - it includes:

Mind
Body
Spirit
Shadow

But - there isn't SOUL there - any good community practice must have some SOULfood, IMHO.

At least a heart practice, right?

I've practiced a few different heart practices, but I wonder - is there a specific INTEGRAL heart practice that people know about?  That takes as little as 5 minutes, up to 30?

I guess the "official" heart practice is Tonglen.

But this truthfully, isn't as effective as it should be.

I was speaking about this in our ILP Support Group, and one person said that, when he was working with a Buddhist master, the master said it was important to "pray to the Gods" before doing Tonglen, that your Tonglen would be EFFECTIVE.  And that this was very necessary.  (Being Western, he found it weird to pray to say, Amitabha.  But he did notice that his tonglen was more effective.)

At some point, there is going to need to be an "integral ritual", that involves the heart, prayer, (song perhaps?), as I believe humans basic physiology is built to commune in faith, in that way. This also has a double effect to bind communites together.

But - damn - what ritual is going to WORK for us integral types?  If any??

A great post by David Jon here.

"Yet, I was still taken up with the promise of what a comprehensive philosophy would look like. It wasn't Ken Wilber's vision that held me in thrall anymore. It was the underlying nature of a comprehensive philosophy–i.e., a non-reductionistic philosophy–that I sensed as being the original basis for my resonance with Ken Wilber's work and what I might now choose to call 'Integral Cognition.'"

I would agree with this - and I find that those who attempt to embrace the highest forms of - Spirit, Mind, Body, Other, Soul, Skillful Means In Living - these are the people I want to be my "tribe" so to speak.

Grounded in the world.
