Remember the famous and popular Bud Lite Super Bowl commercial where the frogs were on lily pads repeating “Bud” –“Lite” in unison and repeatedly. In the following three linked essays we are going to be leapfrogging through discussions about spirituality, a greater understanding of integral spirituality in particular and a fuller discussion of integral Christianity. The first essay, called Building an Integral Spiritual Life, is for those persons new to the spiritual life, who have confusion and questions about how to begin a spiritual life and for those who feel a need for more focus and discipline in their spiritual life. The second essay invites you into an exploration of the meaning of integral spirituality. The third essay picks up from the end of the second essay with a discussion and exploration of the meaning of integral Christianity. Hope you have as much fun as the frogs did on the Bud Lite commercial. Also, stayed tuned for an upcoming new course on Integral Christianity. by Mac Broussard

Part 4: A lot of new information has evolved Darwin’s original theory of evolution. The new post-Darwinian theories and qualifications of evolution can tangibly teach us how to live more integral and successful lives and, they show us how evolution has repeatedly solved problems such as global warming in the past by replacing destructive competition with larger-scale cooperative organisation. The ground breaking Evolutionary Manifesto by John Stewart contains a new evolutionary way to see the planet and live ethically. While it only indirectly mentions spirituality, it is essential life information for Evolutionaries, Futurists and Sustainability Advocates and anyone who resonates with evolutionary spirituality or eco-spirituality or, who believes that life and spirituality should be informed and assisted by the science of evolution. And after all, is not evolving life --- itself the deepest core essence of what spirituality and religion is supposed to be all about?

Spirituality is all-inclusive, expanding into every aspect of life, because spirituality is the infusion of spirit into living life. Spirit is always there for us and a part of us, so how can anything be separate from that? It is only our minds that create the separation, from the Infinite. Given this perspective, love and sexuality is the perfect topic to relate to the development of relationships and spiritual connection. We at Integrative Spirituality feel it is important to openly discuss and support the healthy integration of spirituality and sexuality. The value of sexual expression in relation to spiritual laws has been controversial for eons. However, we have been provided with the gifts of biologically designed bodies that cannot only procreate life, but experience immense delight, enjoyment and energy in the process. There are many spiritually focused groups who do not recommend wasting life force energy in sexual activity, because if not practiced properly can drain the body of power and distract the mind, creating suffering and confusion. There are also many teachings, such as the Kama Sutra and Tantric traditions, who highly value sexuality and the practices of spiritual energy flow to increase the sacred connection with another person and the Infinite. From these traditions, sexuality is a spiritual path of transformation, as powerful a tool as any.

Evolutionary means “of or relating to a process of change,” particularly as it relates to the processes of change of the physical universe and its history. Evolutionary Spirituality is that which relates to the knowledge that can be learned about Ultimate Reality and how to live our lives by looking at the deep patterns and objective/scientific information about the evolution of the universe. Evolutionary spirituality is critically important today more than ever because it offers all of humanity a common and uniting genesis story and it offers each individual a common and uniting identity with all other individuals at the deepest levels of meaning and living. From these two things naturally emerges a myriad of rational, non-polarizing spiritual and secular behaviors as well as an implied near-universal set of ethics, morals and virtues for living both authentic and successful spiritual and secular lives in the 21st century...
