- Title
INTEGRAL SERVICE Part 1: A Central Discipline for All Integral Practitioners.
- Authors
Walsh, Roger
- Abstract
Self-actualization and service are core motives for integral practitioners and probably, though often unrecognized, for all people. How to best use integral ideas to optimize this actualization of self and service of others is therefore a central life question for all integral practitioners. This article provides one answer by identifying principles for skillful application of integral ideas. In particular, it emphasizes the importance of performing an integral analysis on problematic issues, of recognizing underlying assumptions, of offering helpful alternative perspectives and meta-perspectives, and providing a vision of potentials and possibilities. As a specific example, the article examines how we can expand views of love from superficial cultural myths to a more mature, life- and love-enhancing transpersonal vision.
