That recognition would also imply that, any practices that would help individual human beings attune themselves to these patterns would increase humanity’s understanding of, and attunement with, the spiritual patterns of the universe. This attunement could occur through any of the great religions, but would be tied exclusively to none of them. A person could be attuned to an “integral spirituality” while still be a practicing Christian, Buddhist, New-Age advocate, or Neopagan.

If humanity’s attunement to the spiritual patterns of the universe are helped by various practices — which might include prayer, meditation, yoga, contemplation — then modern psychological and psychotherapeutic measures would surely be part of any integral spirituality, since those measures can help increase a person’s capacity for various sorts of practice. What do I mean by “psychotherapeutic measures”? This in itself is a large topic, so let me say, for introductory purposes, they are any measures that might be taken if you have an emotional problem and visit the office of a psychiatrist — all of the measures for treating human psychological issues that have been developed in the last century or so, and that have demonstrated the capacity to help remove emotional problems.

Finally, integral spirituality transcends and includes science, it does not exclude, repress, or deny science. To say that the spiritual currents of the cosmos cannot be captured by empirical science is not to say that they deny science, only that they show their face to other methods of seeking knowledge, of which the world has in an abundance. —Beliefnet.com
