Video: The Deep Mind of Zen (Jun Po Roshi): e world—transformed. The poetry of their language is not myth, but an effort to do justice to their experience. When you taste the deep clear intelligence at the heart of being, nothing is left untouched. If you wish to claim your heritage as the Buddha, the Awakened One, your best option is to find a masterful teacher such as Jun Po Roshi. With his koan dialogue process, you will learn to clear away the obscurations of a fixated mind and discover a clear, ordinary mind brimming with insight and compassion. You will begin to experience your own identity as vast, unconstrained, fearless, timeless—and eternally wakeful. The first part of this dialogue touches on the role of language in meditative insight and the importance of articulating a worldview that reflects your insight. You'll also find discussions on compassion and transmission, as well as an amusing and informative contrast of the Soto and Rinzai schools of Zen. This is the first of a three-part series on Integral Life. Watch parts 2 and 3 here: integrallife.com/node/70571…; Added by Michael Grove at 11:43 on January 29, 2011

Video: Cityboy on BBC1: a New York prison mainly as a result of receiving $81m in purportedly unauthorized bonuses whilst he was CEO of US conglomerate Tyco. He admitted at his trial that his $100m annual pay package was ‘almost embarrassingly big.’ This fat, bald fraudster became a poster boy for early noughties excess after it emerged that he’d spent $6000 on a shower curtain! 9) Elliot Spitzer – this former New York state attorney became the scourge of bankers as a result of his attempts to clean up Wall Street in the early noughties. However, his Mr Clean image was tarnished irreparably in 2008 after he was exposed as a regular customer of a prostitute ring. Gets a place for sheer hypocrisy. 8) Adam Applegarth – Mr Applegarth’s reckless risk-taking resulted in the first run on a British bank (Northern Rock) for over a century and played a significant role in worsening Britain’s credit crunch. He’s more of a dullard than a crook but any sympathy may be offset by the over £1m payoff he received after his fall. 7) Conrad Black – Baron Black of Crosshabour was once the third biggest newspaper magnate in the world. He was convicted of diverting funds for personal benefit from his company Hollinger International and is now serving a 6½ year sentence. He and his wife Amiel’s extraordinary notorious extravagance were neatly summed up by an infamous picture of them dressed as Cardinal Richelieu and Marie Antoinette. 6) Bernie Ebbers – this bearded, born-again Christian ex-bouncer was a good old boy who built up a telecoms company worth $180bn. He turned many of the locals from his town of Brookhaven, Mississippi into millionaires but when the tech boom fizzled out he decided to cook the books and got his company into a right stew. Worldcom went bankrupt and Bernie’s doing 25 years. 5) Fred ‘The Shred’ Goodwin – Sir Frederick Goodwin is one of the least popular bankers around … and that’s really saying something! His extraordinary mismanagement of Royal Bank of Scotland was only rivalled by his willingness to sack employees and his seemingly boundless megalomania. After his bank was nationalized Goodwin cemented his bogeyman status by accepting a £700K annual pension. 4) Jerome Kerviel – This geeky 32 year old rogue trader almost destroyed one of France’s major banks, Societe Generale, after he allegedly lost €4.9bn in early 2008 (over six times our own Nick Leeson’s efforts of 1995.) Ironically, this ex-banker has become something of a hero to anti-capitalist French groups. 3) Jeffrey Skilling/Andy Fastow – these two crazy guys created the house of cards that was Enron. Through accounting trickery they pretended Enron made profits when in fact it was a heavily-indebted illusion that fell apart in 2001. They are serving 24 and 6 years respectively though their boss, Ken Lay, died before his sentencing. 2) Dick Fuld – this pit-bull of a man oversaw the destruction of Lehman Brothers and, in so doing, ensured that the world entered the worst financial crisis since The Great Depression. His unwillingness to listen to others, bombastic manner (he once publically declared he’d eat the still beating heart of hedge fund managers that dared short his stock!) and sheer bloody mindedness are legendary. 1) Bernie Madoff – A late entrant, but without doubt the king of the crop! The renowned investor Warren Buffet famously said ‘you only find out who’s swimming naked when the tide goes out’ and that is exactly what happened to Bernie as the financial crisis took hold. His Ponzi scheme may have cost investors $65bn and is now officially the biggest ever fraud. In June 2009 this former pillar of New York society was sentenced to 150 years in prison. .…; Added by Michael Grove at 14:08 on January 11, 2011

Video: Spiral Dynamics and the Israel/Palestine Conflict (Don Beck): ies, we sit down with some of today's most notable thinkers, teachers, and leaders, discussing the many ways they are catalyzing the Integral vision in their lives, in their hearts, and in their work. Don Edward Beck, Ph.D., is Co-founder of The National Values Center in Denton, Texas, and President and CEO of The Spiral Dynamics Group, Inc. Beck co-authored The Crucible: Forging South Africa's Future (with Graham Linscott, l991) and Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership & Change (with Christopher Cowan, l996). He also writes a "Sports Values" column for the Dallas Morning News and appears often in the media regarding issues related to values, sports, and racial divides. Here Don offers an intimate glimpse into his own life and career. He discusses the current phase of his work: traveling the world and applying Spiral Dynamics to various geo-political "hotspots" all over the planet. He offers his own ideas about healthy models of society, the crucial distinction between stages of consciousness and the contents of those stages, and the importance of preserving many of the early stages of development that are so often seen as primitive and obsolete. He then goes into considerable depth around the specifics of the Palestine-Israel conflict, describing the needs and problems on both sides of the divide, his hands-on involvement with both nations, and the remarkable receptivity with which his work has been met. At a time when tensions in the Middle East can seem so hopelessly combustible, it is encouraging to see Integral seeds being planted in such surprisingly fertile soil, offering us all a much-needed exhale as we wait to see how evolution will continue playing itself out in this difficult region of the world.

Video: Where Science and Buddhism Meet PART 2: religion are not the same: You can be dualist without holding any other religious beliefs, and you can hold religious beliefs without being dualist. But they almost always go together. And some very popular religious views rest on a dualist foundation, such as the belief that people survive the destruction of their bodies. If you give up on dualism, this is what you lose.
