This story has three morals. First, everyone who drops a pile of manure on your head is not necessarily your enemy. Second, everyone who gets you out of a pile of manure is not necessarily your friend. Third, if you are warm and happy in a pile of manure, keep your mouth shut. It would appear that the vast majority of the citizens of the industrialized world are warm and happy in the environmental equivalent of a pile of manure, and they're keeping their mouths shut. The ersatz comfort of modern "living" tends to desensitize people and hold them in a lethargic state.

Metaphorical stories shape cultural beliefs as well as morals. In Primal Myths, a book on creation myths from around the world, Barbara Sproul, director of the Program in Religion at Hunter College in New York, states that an important function of myths is to reveal abstract universal truths through stories told "in the familiar world of time and space" and which contain common details.5 Today no one creation story reflects the diverse population of our communities, which are made up of people of different races, religions, and philosophical beliefs.

How does one who has always had such high morals and values cope with such devastating chemically induced actions taken on their part? Many now understand that the person who took those actions was not them, but a chemically created and controlled being they never knew and never want to see again. My heart cries out to those who never had a chance to know that these were not choices made on their own, but actions which were drug-induced, chemically-induced...those victims who still wonder why or how such things could have happened in their lives. J. C.

There are many other reports of people with a background of high morals and values and strong marriages suffering the same reaction. The PDR lists "increased libido" as a side effect. One theory suggests that when there is an increase in the dopamine level in the brain to the point where it exceeds the amount of 5HIAA serotonin, there is a higher chance of sexual activity and responsiveness. 5HT serotonin has been demonstrated to increase the release of dopamine (Yi et al. 1991; Blandina et al. 1989).

Gates thus joined with others in "medicalizing" all social problems, defining them out of political struggle and even religious morals, and giving them over to technical expertise and professional management. Rockefeller money did not support medical research that investigated the relationship of social factors to health and disease. In its first decade, the Rockefeller Institute focused its resources on chemistry, biology, pathology, bacteriology, physiology, pharmacology, and experimental surgery.

Social historian John D'Emilio also wrote about the FBI's involvement in this homosexual inquisition: The FBI sought out friendly vice squad officers who supplied arrest records on morals charges, regardless of whether convictions had ensued. Regional FBI offices gathered data on gay bars, compiled lists of other places frequented by homosexuals, and clipped press articles that provided information about the gay world. Friendships with known homosexuals or lesbians subjected anyone to an investigation....

Roman Catholics believe that the pope speaks infallibly when speaking ex cathedra on questions of faith or morals. The pope has done so once in the last hundred years, when Pope Pius XII declared in 1950 that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was physically taken up to heaven after her death. Figuratively, any authoritative pronouncement may be called "ex cathedra." ex post facto (eks pohst fak-toh) An explanation or regulation concocted after the event, sometimes misleading or unjust: "Your ex post facto defense won't stand up in court." (See ex post facto law.) From Latin, meaning "after the deed.

In each of these areas, we make symbolic commitments to the idea that children have inalienable rights, but we don't put a whole lot of money where our morals are. The problem is that children can rarely be ends in themselves. They have a unique moral status, based on their dependence and vulnerability, that leaves them always and inevitably passive. We make them do all sorts of things that they don't want to do, and tell ourselves that it is for their own good. Generally, of course, it is somebody else's conception of their own good.

The Essential Ken Wilber: An Introductory Reader Ken Wilber See book keywords and concepts

So a truly integral view would not talk just about matter, body, mind, soul, and spirit—because each of those levels has a dimension of art, of morals, and of science, and we need explicitly to include all of them. So, for example, we have the art of the matter/body realm (naturalism, realism), the art of the mental realm (surrealistic, conceptual, abstract), the art of the soul and spirit realm (contemplative, transformative).

So putting these three dimensions (I, we, and it; or art, morals, and science; or Beauty, Goodness, and Truth) together with the major levels of existence (matter, body, mind, soul, and spirit) would give us a much more genuinely integral or holistic approach to reality. [One Taste: March 15] Integral Practice There are many ways to talk about integral practice. "Integral yoga" was a term first used by Aurobindo (and his student Chaudhuri), where it specifically meant a practice that unites both the ascending and descending currents in the human being?
