Listening to the first half now... pretty interesting thus far!

Jim James & Ken Wilber
My Morning Jacket and the Search for Meaning
Part 1: From The Tennessee Fire to Okonokos
Jim James and Ken Wilber discuss the spectacular rise of My Morning Jacket, examining the circumstances and intentions behind each of their albums, tracking the band's career from their humble beginnings to their latest forays into rock stardom.
"We started to realize that there's some reason that we're lucky enough to do this, so we want to try to put as much good energy into the world as we can, and try to give as much back as we can...."
Part 2: Evil Urges and the Church of Rock
In the second installation of this discussion, Jim James and Ken Wilber take a look at the personal side of Jim's career, exploring some of the more difficult aspects of maintaining one's relationships, sanity, and integrity amidst the mania of the rock and roll lifestyle, and reflecting on how rock music can be the primary source of spiritual experience and connection for a great many people in the world....
Okay girls, Jim says he wants a family.
Thanks for the link. Good stuff.
what a great interview. Ken Wilber is an interesting cat.
http://www.kenwilber.com/home/landing/index.html
I think this interview should be sticky; it answers a lot of the same questions (ie, how old is Jim, girlfriends, where the name comes from, etc...). Maybe have it be a membership requirement for the board?
Interesting. Thanks.

So.... why listen if you love the mystery? There's a great description about what's going to be in the interview, but you listened anyway?

Hey guys - i am psyched you enjoy this interview; it was a lot of fun getting Jim and Ken on the phone together.
I thought i would briefly introduce myself, and make myself available for any questions or issues y'all may have with this interview. My name is Corey W. deVos, the writer and content producer for Integral Life, and the one responsible for putting this page together.
Obviously, i invite you to share this link with anyone you wish, but i do ask that you only share the landing page link itself, rather than bypassing the signup and linking to the file itself. I had to jump through some hoops to be able to make this available for free to MMJ fans, and just want to mention this in order to protect some of the hard work that went into this.
That said, if anyone has any problem downloading the talk, or has not received a confirmation email, send me an email and i will get it sorted out for you: cdevos (at) integrallife (dot) com
Enjoy the interview, and let me know if you have any issues!

i retract my offer to upload this interview. Get it the real way you vultures!
Nevermind, duder from the site hooked me up.
here's a little note from jim:
"hello friends, a few months ago i took part in a recorded conversation/interview (http://integrallife.com/landing/MMJ/index.html) with world class thinker/author/magic man ken wilber (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Wilber). i have been a fan of his integral theory and approach to life after hearing his 6-disc "Kosmic Consciousness" interview set where he goes really in depth to what he describes as his "map of existence" and all the different elements that make up said existence. He read an interview i had done where i mentioned his work and reached out to me to do a recorded interview for this great new site they are doing called integral life. a good place to start if you want to learn more about all of this is his new book which is basically an introduction to the integral approach called "The Integral Vision." the website and all of his work and theory are meant to apply and be useful to people of any and all backgrounds/religions/race/creed etc...i think it is a really open and useful way of thinking and re-organizing your mind- trying to take the things that seem to make sense to you from all walks of life, and blend them into your own special set of beliefs and ways of living. although i think anyone could really get something out of ken's work as well as this website, this is not a sales pitch from them or myself to get anyone to buy or join anything, and i am still learning quite a bit about all of this and don't pretend for a minute to be any kind of expert in understanding the ways of our most complex human experience...i just wanted to explain a little more of the background behind this interview. i hope you are to enjoy!
-yer pal yim yames"

it may be loaded with sales pitches but there is some cool stuff there.
thanks.
Very insightful. I'm glad it waas long. Very special, indeed.
I like to read books that teach me about the universe, energy, life, awareness, and how to go through life fully conscious. I want to know how to live a full life of balance and greet each day with a sense of gratitude. Having these thoughts and feelings made me interested to see what Ken Wilber is all about. I am open to learn more about what he teaches. I don't yet know enough to make an informed decision, but I did enjoy the interview. Here are some of my thoughts:
It makes me uncomfortable that Jim's inability to have a functional and lasting relationship with another person would make him question what he is doing with his life. What he does is so important to so many people and clearly what he loves to do and most likely one of his main purposes on this planet. Talent and ability like that is a gift from the divine. I'm sure tha man has a lot more too offer too; however what we know of him and holds so personally to our lives is the words, emotions, melodies, and music as a whole. It has touched all of us. The feeling the music is able to cultivate in each of us is most likely what drew us all here and into each others lives. Wherever all of that is coming from is a pure and beautiful place and should never be questioned.
I hope he is able to find a partner that can see that and support it and in turn he will love them (in part) for their ability to see how his light shines on the world and makes it a better place for all of us. I have always made a rule for my life that I will never settle for a relationship where the person cannot see my light and all I have to offer and tha man with the master plan shouldn't either!
We all have something special to contribute and we are all connected to each other. When I think about that connection I think about how I want to see all of us realize our purpose and live up to it fully and completely. Few of us have that purpose and potential laid out in front of us as clearly as he does.
QuoteFew of us have that purpose and potential laid out in front of us as clearly as he does.
yeah, I think that's why he said the part about his struggle to connect in a relationship; so you won't be confused and say his whole "purpose" is clearly laid out in fromt of him.
food for thought.

Tracy I always appreciate your thoughts (especially food for thoughts.) :)
I'm not completely clear on what you were saying so I will do my best to clarify my point.
I listened to the interview once and it was a few days ago. I remember being struck by one part in particular and that part was when he was talking about his struggle to connect with someone/sustain a relationship and that inability leading him to question what he does.
Perhaps I should have been more articulate in my original post.
I can't interpret what anyone thinks or what they mean when they say something especially someone I don't know. I don't want to pretend that is what I'm trying to do because I'm not. I don't know the man; I'm simply going off of my interpretation of what I heard.
What struck me was how a person with so much pure talent and potential could question what they were doing in life simply because they could not sustain a relationship.
I guess my point about getting the sense that his purpose and potential was clearly laid out in front of him came from this.....
I have never had a clear sense about what I should do with my life. I didn't grow up thinking "one day I want to be a heart surgeon" and have that force drive me and sustain me throughout my whole life until I realized my dream of becoming a heart surgeon and fulfilled the potential that was inside me. I would go on to become one of the greatest heart surgeons in the world. I would love my job and feel so passionately for it. I would be grateful everyday for my talents and appreciative of the fact that I was able to change lives every day with my talent and abilities. My work keeps me very busy and I travel a lot so it's really hard for me to connect with people and sustain a relationship. Do I think I'm not doing the right thing or question what I'm doing simply because this one area of my life hasn't shown itself to me yet? No, but maybe that's just me....
I get the sense that he has always had a very deep connection to music and that connection drove him to where he is today. To that I say kudos! Few people have that. Do I think music is his sole purpose on this planet? No. I prefaced most of what I said with stating that it "was most likely one of his main purposes" here. I don't think anyone's complete purpose is clearly laid out in front of them. I do think some of us are more fortunate than others in having a little clearer of a path.

That's why there's 50 billion songs about love, loss and relationships and a handful about how talented someone is or their career.
Sounds interesting, downloading now.
Thanks dudettes/duders
finally had a chance to listen to both parts last night. it's hard not to have an even bigger crush on him after hearing that. he's such a well rounded, articulate person, the way he internalizes things and the places he finds meaning is so cool to hear...especially his take on spirituality and the part where all of us want to get past the thought process and that's where God is (something like that)...i could gush about that interview all day.
Reporting back to say... bless Jim's heart, he is amazing. That is a great interview. 8-)

It doesn't mean much without someone special to share it with.

I understand what you're saying and I appreciate your thoughts.
I think this may be where my thoughts are being misinterpreted:
I'm talking about my inability to connect with his thoughts and feelings due to the fact that I believe life means what you want it to mean and is as full or empty as you decide for it to be regardless of factors outside of yourself.
Most people feel they need someone special to share life with for it to be special and meaningful. I'm not one of those people. It seems as though he is-therefore I hope he is able to find an amazing person to make it all complete. He deserves it! :)
Cool. I think we understand each other, despite any perceived disconnect :)

So, why comment at all?
If you can obtain "meaning" totally on your own and you "believe life means what you want it to mean and is as full or empty as you decide for it to be regardless of factors outside of yourself" then you really don't need to do anything, say anything or go anywhere. Right?
And you certainly wouldn't "choose" to be uncomfortable, right? How could you be "uncomfortable" with Jim's words if you are the true champion of "meaning" in your life. Why "choose" to be uncomfortable?
Your logic is a bit flawed (but it sounds good).

it's hard for me to believe that someone is truly comfortable alone. i can't be convinced at all -- i've been out of a relationship for a year and as soon as i got out, i wanted to be in one again (lol) i hate dating and i hate having a lot of dumb sh*t to say and no one to say it to. i understand being happy in every other aspect of your life but feeling incomplete because that most important part is missing. that's why i loved that interview; i think JJ hit on what most people feel.

Well, I would dare say that everyone who posts here is fufulling some need; be it to share the love of the music or sharing ideas in general or just talking basketball or venting (which I sometimes do), but there is a need for "other"; for "community" and the sharing of humanness.
I would certainly be wasting my time here if I could go at it alone; I wouldn't "need" to be here. Now, could I survive in the middle of nowhere without any human contact, track and hunt my food and sustain adequate shelter with out "needing" this forum? And find meaning in my life? Sure, probably, after the party I have for all the monkeys that flew out of my ass? Yes, probably...
I dunno, I think The Beatles were right.
which time?
i guess i should clarify that i meant my statements to pertain to people after a certain age, once they're past all the scenes and ready to just 'commune' with one person. you're right tracy, and i guess you all should be lucky because if i had a good relationship, i wouldn't have as much time to post all my awesome comments on here LOL. you all are an awesome community but i guess we all need 'the human touch' JJ sings about.

An Introduction to the Integral Operating System (article series)
http://integrallife.com/node/1918
What if we took everything that all the various cultures have to tell us about human potential—about spiritual growth, psychological growth, social growth—and put it all on the table? What if we attempted to find the critically essential keys to human growth, based on the sum total of human knowledge now open to us? What if we attempted, based on extensive cross-cultural study, to use all of the world's great traditions to create a composite map, a comprehensive map, an all-inclusive or integral map that included the best elements from all of them? In the following article series, Ken Wilber shares an overview of this map: The Integral Operating System (IOS).

Stone Gossard and Ken Wilber
Pearl Jam: Restoring Idealism in Rock and Roll
Part 1. From the Birth of Grunge to the Death of an Industry.
Part 2. Innocence Lost, Integrity Gained.
http://in.integralinstitute.org/landing/stone_gossard/index.html
Few bands in recent history have done more to express idealism and authenticity in music than Pearl Jam. In this fascinating interview with guitarist Stone Gossard, we are offered an insider's view of the gritty origins of grunge music, the iconic rise of the "most popular band of the 90's," and the struggles of maintaining one's artistic ideals in the vertigo of sudden fame.
Stone's story is one that is truly aligned with the essence of Integral art, which attempts to restore Beauty to its rightful place within the human condition—emphasizing creativity instead of deconstruction, idealism instead of apathy, depth instead of sensationalism, authenticity instead of irony—and always reflecting the fullest expressions of both artist and audience alike. We hope you can join us in this fascinating exploration of artistic idealism and creative reverie.
In part 2 of the discussion, we are offered a tour through Pearl Jam's last five albums, a discussion about the music industry and bootleg culture, and a heart-wrenching reflection on one of the most painful experiences in the band's long history....

Rick Rubin and Ken Wilber
Beyond Genre
Part 1: Making Space for Greatness
Part 2: Adventures in Rock and Romance
http://integrallife.com/node/2340
Rick Rubin, MTV's "most important white boy in hip-hop," has produced some of the most influential and creative albums of the past two decades, from artists such as The Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Slayer, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down, Nine Inch Nails, Audioslave, Jay-Z, Saul Williams - and the list just keeps on going. Here Rick and Ken discuss why truly great music almost always transcends our concepts of genre, before waxing philosophic about rock, romance, and the potential perils of paternity....

Saul Williams and Ken Wilber
Introducing Niggy Tardust
Part 1: The Rise and Liberation
Part 2: Deconstructing Niggy
http://in.integralinstitute.org/landing/saul_williams/swdownload.html
The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust is an absolutely amazing collaboration between Saul and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Saul has always been known for his post-conventional approach to Hip Hop, and nowhere does this come through more than on this album. It is truly a trans-genre masterpiece, perfectly blending Saul's powerful vocals with the industrial "wall of sound" orchestration that has come to define Nine Inch Nails. But even more impressive than Saul's impulse to transcend genre is his ability to use art to transform and transcend identity itself, breaking through the self-imposed limitations of the finite self, and opening to the clear, limitless consciousness at the heart of this and every moment....

Jimmy Eat World
Zach Lind and Ken Wilber
Part 1: Hells Bells and the Dangers of Rock and Roll
Part 2: The Home, the Studio, and the Road
http://integrallife.com/landing/jimmyeatworld/jimmyeatworlddownload010909.html
Zach Lind from Jimmy Eat World offers a fascinating glimpse into some of the inspiration behind the band's distinctive sound, as well as a personal tour through his own upbringing in a conservative Baptist household. He and Ken then discuss an Integral approach to understanding spirituality, religion, and fundamentalism, paving the way forward for Christianity in the 21st Century. In the second part, Zach talks to Ken about his experiences touring with bands like Green Day and Blink 182, expanding Jimmy Eat World's already distinctive sound in the studio, and balancing his stardom with his life at home as a husband and a father.
