<P>Just new to this site.</P>
<P> Seems interesting and allows for an integral approach. This appeals to me at present, because Wilbers Integral approach to understanding our existence makes sense to me. Without it we persistently have to make others <U>wrong</U>, so that "our" point of view is seen to be <U>right</U>.</P>
<P>Anyway, just saying hello and thus adding my positive vibrations to our ungoing creation.</P>

My family touches as a cultural expression, as nutrition, as =
