Mind Integration

Integration is the key mechanism beneath both the absence of illness and the presence of well-being. Integration - the linkage of differentiated elements of a system - illuminates a direct pathway toward health.

In this way we avoid a life of dull, boring rigidity on the one hand, or explosive chaos on the other.

It is the middle way between chaos and rigidity — the flow of independent energy and ideas linked together in harmony — that maximizes both complexity and vitality. This is the essence of integration.
