| The Order of Universal Interfaith partner community: integral Spirituality Nexus (iSN) |
 | |  |
| American visionary and philosopher Ken Wilber wrote the book, "Integral Spirituality" which gave the world a whole new lens to look at human spiritual development. Many spiritual people began to apply his principles to their own faith and their religious organizations and churches creating many different flavors of "integral spirituality." In August 2010, OUnI and leaders of the first seminary program to train "Integral Ministers and Mentors" created this non-ecclesiastic spiritual society. Its goal is to bring together all spiritual integral practitioners regardless of their standing and role into one place for fellowship and dialogue and to strengthen their own walk in the world. WHAT IS A NEXUS? nex·us /ˈnɛksəs/ Show Spelled[nek-suhs] –noun, plural nex·us·es, nex·us. 1.a means of connection; tie; link. 2.a connected series or group. 3.the core or center, as of a matter or situation. 4.Cell Biology . a specialized area of the cell membrane involved in intercellular communication and adhesion. Consider the implications of the definitions of "nexus" to the evolving community of Integral spirituality. Come here to ask questions, meet others looking for belonging when outgrown religious paths no longer fulfill our core need to make sense of reality, or when a random choice of spiritual practices calls us to seek out a framework that is able to crystallize the 'intercellular communication" of the deepest of all spiritual practices. The iSN will be consecrated to world spiritual service and community building on September 25, 2010, in Sedona, Arizona USA. This will also be the first initiation into the community. If you are interested in joining this autonomous spiritual community within the greater Interfaith-Interspiritual-Integral movement, then select the option at this website's "Join Us" link. Members of iSN are welcome to participate in all OUnI activities and can apply for canonical stature* from OUnI to enhance their ecclesiastic professional standing. The "Charge" to the members of iSN and to Integral Ministers from Mr. Ken Wilber: It is truly, a game; what dream walkers we all are! Nothing ever really happens here, nothing moves in time or space, it is all so painfully obvious that I avert my eyes from the blinding truth. But here we are, You and I, and it is You-and-I that is the form of Spirit in this and all the worlds. For in the entire Kosmos, there is only One Self; in the entire Kosmos, there is only One Spirit--and thus the Self that is reading this page is the exact Self that wrote it. Let us then, You-and-I, recognize together who and what we are. And I will be with you until the ends of the world, and you will be with me, for there is only One Self, which is the miracle of Spirit. This is why we will be together forever, You-and-I, in the world of the Many-That-Are-One, and why we have never been separated. Just as Consciousness is singular, and the Self is One, and the Self neither comes nor goes, so You-and-I are that Self, forever and forever and endlessly forever."
