There is no doubt that my own emerging philosophy of fearlessness for 27 years now has been undergirded by Ken Wilber's integral philosophy and theory [1]. I best come out and say that for those of you interested. Now, with the merging of my philosophy of fearlessness into a co-project of a philosophy of fearism (with Desh Subba et al.) it is going to be important to have integral philosophy and theory (especially, a la Wilber) kept alive and working in what emerges. Desh Subba has not read Wilber or integral philosophy to my knowledge, even though I mention it in our book and have indicated it in emails. The point being, any of us in the Fearlessness Movement will, more or less, have to have a look at what "integral" even means in this very carefully crafted form of critical philosophy and theory--I think, very ready to take us forward with emancipatory potential in the 21st century.
So, to join in on this Forum here, just comment and write your own blogs under "Forum" or in the Blog section as well, if you prefer.
I will put you onto my latest writing on Wilber and integral at my other website (Center for Spiritual Inquiry & Integral Education)... go to: http://csiie.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=188

Okay, I look forward to any of you here joining me in conversations. I am really starting to think that I may have to add the Integral Movement as one of the branches of the Fearlessness Movement (on the Wikipedia site).
