I

 
Ian StevensonA psychiatrist who has thoroughly studied past life memories and reincarnation since the 1960’s.
Immanuel KantOne of the most influential Western philosophers, his profound contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics shaped all subsequent philosophy; 1724-1804.
Implicate OrderDavid Bohm proposed a cosmological order radically different from generally accepted conventions, which he expressed as a distinction between the implicate and explicate order, described in the book Wholeness and the Implicate Order:  In the enfolded [or implicate] order, space and time are no longer the dominant factors determining the relationships of dependence or independence of different elements. Rather, an entirely different sort of basic connection of elements is possible, from which our ordinary notions of space and time, along with those of separately existent material particles, are abstracted as forms derived from the deeper order. These ordinary notions in fact appear in what is called the “explicate” or “unfolded” order, which is a special and distinguished form contained within the general totality of all the implicate orders.
In Search Of The Lost ChordIn Search of the Lost Chord, released in 1968, was The Moody Blues’ third album. It has twelve tracks, with a total running time of 42:07. The album was published by Deram Records.  The album is considered by some to be a concept album because several of the tracks deal with the theme of a person’s search for spiritual fulfillment. Another concept dealt with in the album is the search for a mythical “lost chord,” which is revealed to be the mantra “Om” (in the last stanza of Graeme Edge’s poem “The Word”).
IncarnationCarnate means physical body.  Incarnation means life in the physical body or a bodily manifestation of a supernatural being. 
IncestSexual relations between two relatives, usually prohibited by law or local customs. 
InsightA self-development program somewhat similar to EST, over 500,000 people have participated in Insight Seminars since 1978.
Integral InstituteKen Wilber’s integral think tank headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.
Integral Transformative PracticeA group practice self-development program developed by Michael Murphy and George Leonard in their 1995 book The Life We Are Given.
IntegralA holistic approach that attempts to include and integrate matter, body, mind, soul, and spirit.
Intersubjectivity The relationship, connection, pattern, or “space” between the inner subjective experience of two or more individuals (or holons).
Iron ButterflyA U.S. hard rock and psychedelic band, best known for their 1968 hit “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”. They are sometimes called “the first heavy metal band” due to this song and others like it. Their heyday was the late 1960s, but the band has been reincarnated several times with various members.
