Tomorrow's Spirituality

The Catholic theologian Karl Rahner famously said "the Christian of tomorrow will be a mystic, or not a Christian at all." Few people have impacted Christianity in this regard as has Fr. Thomas Keating. A Cistercian monk from St. Benedict's Monastery in Snowmass, Colorado, Fr. Thomas has spent a lifetime in deep Christian practice, and in sharing the fruits of this contemplation with countless others. We were enormously blessed to host a dialogue with Fr. Thomas and Ken Wilber in April of 2006. In today's featured video, Ken presents some of the foundational concepts of Integral spirituality.

@Paxxxable

yeah, I've never really understood why steiners stuff is completely overlooked by this community. He came up with spiral dynamics over 100 years ago.

I like Ken.....

in the spritual view ... solely the lack of integrating Rudof Steiner's philosophie is the lack that I miss...from Ken's philosophie....

I mean rather Rudolf's views on occult things....and how to approch spirituality recently....which means the 21s century

@Iex97 "Ken's idea of integrating perspectives..." Are you really that naive? Considering multiple points of view is simply called intelligent thinking and there are MANY people who have been doing it long before Wilber came along and pretended to invent it by calling it integral. His books are verbose, repetitious and slathered in needless jargon designed to make it seem like he invented common sense. That said, I could be wrong. What are the 3 most profound things you've learned from him?

@Gnosis2078 dude i love kens ideas and the idea of integrating perspectives and i am not a zombie lol im more outgoing and loving than i have ever been, in fact i have transcended ken as a role model and moved on as being a ken wilber myself so you my friend need some work on your unconscious

[problyout]

as i watch and understand more i feel very grateful for being able to understand alot more than i had when i was younger im glad i woke up from unconscious, i could see myself a year ago making fun of ken wilber and how hes bald and stuff and not understanding why i would do that but now i fully understand where all those judgments were coming from and why

[smallpotatoes989]

@Gnosis2078 well I do now know what his path is, never read his books could not find them in slovenia, but I like his thougts. but he is antisocial personality that has problem communicationg, and he knows it. he does not talk with people but to people.

@shayehudson What a pile of crap Shay... "I notice that the people who judge his work are those who belive in the mythical(Christian Fundamentalisim)." You are a complete idiot for stating this as an absolute without a shred of evidence to support it. Was it Ken's idea for you to post this silly retort to the near unanimous rejection here of Ken for Saviour? Did Ken say write that you're either a bible thumper or you follow Wilber like a good zombie? You're hilarious, lost and totally Konfused.

[Gnosis2078]

@smallpotatoes989 well of course you do, you can't even spell sense... lol... unless the mispelling was intentional irony to make the same point, in which case, well done m'lord. Look, there are many paths, but Wilber... ?

[Gnosis2078]

@EndureTemptation anybody "talking" with Wilber HAS to be a good listener... wilber loves the sound of his own voice... if he wants your opinion he'll give it to you!

[smallpotatoes989]

@EndureTemptation well gurus are not able to be social they can talk to people.
