Expecting to spread out Integral Theory (Philosophy) in various areas

Firstly, please watch the following video from TED.

When I watched this video, I thought about extending Integral Theory around the world. Now, I look over the world and I notice that Integral Theory is applied in various areas for example, politics, management, medicine, environmental problem and education etc. It may be a predictive stage of Integral Theory movement (unfortunately, there is little to no this movement in Japan.....).

Of course, this is just predictive, but this is not still a explosive movement because a lot of human beings can not reach at integral consciousness level.

However, I hope that Integral Theory is used in many areas and I think that it will gradually become so.

As you know, there is a leader of Integral Theory, Ken Wilber but I think followers are essential existences to expand his theory (philosophy) like this video.

From now on, I'm going to study Integral Theory at JFKU, but I'm not a first follower, I want to convey this theory (philosophy) to not only Japanese people but also the people around the world and then I want to show that I'm applying it into my field.

I'm excited that Integral Theory will reach at a tipping point and then a lot of practitioners will emerge more and more.

Inception

• Actors: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe
• Directors: Christopher Nolan
• Story:Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in this sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best there is at extraction: stealing valuable secrets inside the subconscious during the mind’s vulnerable dream state. His skill has made him a coveted player in industrial espionage but also has made him a fugitive and cost him dearly.
• Now he may get a second chance if he can do the impossible: inception, planting an idea rather than stealing one. If they succeed, Cobb and his team could pull off the perfect crime. But no planning or expertise can prepare them for a dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy only Cobb could have seen coming.

This was a fantastic movie for me. I think about what is a real or a dream. How can you tell a dream from a real world? That is a philosophical question and also a theme of cognitive science.

A last scene in this movie made me thrilled so much......

About MA in Integral Psychology at John F Kennedy University

I'm a future student in Integral Psychology program at JFKU, so I want to introduce my program to you. Firstly, the following is an overview of this program.

At the heart of the Integral Psychology program there is a passion for investing the profound levels of human existence. Through the study of psychology, spirituality and the evolution of consciousness, students develop a strong theoretical and practical foundation of western psychology, the world's wisdom traditions and the skillful means for applying these principles to personal and professional life.

The program includes the study of human psycho-spiritual development and stages of consciousness in a variety of contexts, including humanistic, social, cultural, transpersonal and integral. The program also fosters a deep understanding of interpersonal dynamics and effective communication skills as well as the capacity for self-reflection and self-inquiry necessary for personal transformation. This approach results in a clearer understanding of human potential and physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual growth. Graduates of the program apply this degree in fields as diverse as education, consulting, coaching, human resources, management and sustainability with a global emphasis.

The curriculum is informed by an integral pedagogy where experiential learning, perspective taking, academic inquiry, and professional application are purposely interwoven. Courses are taught by innovative and highly regarded faculty who are scholar-practitioners. An emphasis is placed on transformational self-inquiry and intellectually rigorous scholarship within a highly supportive student community.

The Integral Psychology program prepares students to effectively apply psychological insight in many career paths. To support these career paths, IPP students often supplement their MA with professional development courses in Teaching Skills, Curriculum Development, Publishing & Media, and Business Practices among others.

Students can also take specializations in other programs such as Dream Studies, or create own area of specialization through independent studies.

"The endeavor to honor and embrace every legitimate aspect of human consciousness is the goal of an integral psychology." Ken Wilber

Tomorrow Half Marathon in Osaka, Japan

Tomorrow, I'm going to participate in Osaka International Marathon. I think this is the last marathon in Japan for me because I'll study abroad in the end of March.
