The Integral Pod (formerly I-I+Zaadz, or IIZ) is a discussion group (a.k.a. “pod”) for enthusiasts of the work of Ken Wilber and other proponents of integral thought. Our aim here is to provide a “We-space” for broad discussion of second-tier living, loving and learning. Please read our vision and guidelines – the ...(more)Integral Pod Transformative Practice (IPTP) – carefully, as they express our intention for community members to seek to communicate from our Highest Selves as much as possible. You may also like to read our Welcome to new members either before or after you join.
Discuss media of any kind here - host book or film clubs, post reviews, critique movies, music, art, etc. [N.B. If the media is just support for a broader discussion, please consider posting to a different, topic-specific board.]

GreyJust testing URLs in the grapevine. This link will take you to Pelle's blog: http://is.gd/ixdm (I want to see if this gets converted to a link or if you have to copy and paste it.)(9 months ago)
GreyOof! Just saw this now, Siona.... Yeah, flutters I think it was... no, "flaps", but I don't like it much. "Flutter" was the name to replace "Grapevine". Anyway, I just used "tweets" here because it's more readily recognizable. :)(9 months ago)
Music has the ability to stir variety of emotions, thoughts and states of consciousness in us, thus it would perhaps qualify as state training. Or at least as a tool to explore how specific states arise in us. Some musical pieces can even put the listener into heightened states of consciousness.
What are some of the songs which causes nonordinary states to arise within you?
Here's some personal examples:
Saul Williams - Coded Language (Evokes what Andrew Cohen calls Authentic Self)
Johann Sebastian Bach - Toccata & Fugue (Just something far out..)
Stuart Davis - Fear of Light (Magnifies the contrast between ego and pure being)
