Ken Wilber - Spirituality and the 3 Strands of Deep Science

The three strands of deep science—injunction, apprehension, confirmation—give us a reliable methodology for learning about both the world without and the world within. Want to know what the moons of Jupiter look like? Look through a telescope. Want to know what satori is? Sit down and count your breaths. While you're at it, have a couple friends do the same thing, and then compare notes. After all, if your experience of satori involves becoming one with a jelly donut, you, um, might want to see if that happened to anyone else....

Excellent video btw, every atheist should watch this. Most atheists wrongly associate spirituality with religion and consider spirituality unscientific even though it is not.

Religion is dogmatic, spirituality is not. This may sound confusing at first, but if you read into what religion is and what spirituality is, you will start to see the whole picture as to why they are different.

Spiritualty and religion are not the same.

@presentlightoftruth I hope I can ask: What are they up to that worries/concerns you?

[torment3d]

@presentlightoftruth I think you've made a very wide-sweeping generalization with absolutely no evidence at all. It is true that some people will think they're some kind of elite that hang with him, but I doubt that's true for all, not even most. Ken wilber doesn't surround himself with people that worship - that stuff naturally happens when you're an excellent leader. Can't but help but feel that your view of his teachings are colored by what you think of him as a person, without having met him

@presentlightoftruth : So are you jealous ?

I would recommend to listen Bertrand Russell's passages on this matter. It could be found on Youtube: Religion and Science Bertrand Russell

Ever heard of that classic prank where someone labels 2 pigs with paint "1" and "3" and unleashes them into a school? People keep assuming there's a pig #2 and search for it hysterically.

That's my opinion of Ken Wilber.

@MaBu888 Religion at its core is simply spiritual technology. Its just that for the large part of human history man has misused it, so now religion has become a loaded word. With similar precision technology man can put a vehicle on Mars or a missile through your window. Same with Religion.

religion is when people gather to celebrate their highest values.
