Hardback. Condition: Good. In a tour de force of scholarship and vision, Ken Wilber traces the course of evolution from matter to life to mind. In each case evolution has a direction, a tendency to produce more highly organized patterns. The spirit of evolution lies in its directionality: order out of chaos. After arriving at the emergence of mind, Wilber traces the evolution of human consciousness through its major stages of development, pointing out that at each stage there is the dialectic of progress--every increase in consciousness is bought at a price: new freedom also means new license to choose destruction. He particularly focuses on the rise of modernity and post-modernity--what they mean, how they relate to gender issues, to psychotherapy, to ecological concerns, and to various liberation movements. Most important, he asks: Can spiritual concerns be integrated with massive developments of the modern world? This edition is updated and includes a new introduction placing it in the context of the Collected Works .…

Paperback. Condition: Good. "As you look deeply into your own awareness, and relax the self-contraction, and dissolve into the empty ground of your own primordial experience, the simple feeling of Being-right now, right here-is it not obvious all at once? Were you not present from the start? Did you not have a hand to play in all that was to follow? Did not the dream itself begin when you got bored with being God? Was it not fun to get lost in the productions of your own wondrous imagination, and pretend it all was other? Did you not write this book, and countless others like it, simply to remind you who you are?" -Ken Wilber The author of nineteen books of philosophy and psychology, Ken Wilber is a pioneering thinker who has developed an integral "theory of everything" that embraces the truths of both Eastern spirituality and Western science. Yet while he is best known for his scholarly research into the world's contemplative traditions, Wilber is also an accomplished spiritual practitioner and mystic in his own right. In order to highlight the personal wisdom of this popular author, the editors of The Simple Feeling of Being have assembled a collection of inspirational, mystical, and instructional passages drawn from his publications. These heartfelt writings, born of Ken's own meditation practice and inner experiences, include: . Poetic passages of contemplative insights and reflections . Inspired descriptions of Spirit, Nondual Awareness, the Witness, One Taste, and other topics . Commentary on the spiritual contributions of figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Saint Teresa of vila, Meister Eckhart, and Ramana Maharshi . Anecdotes of personal experience and glimpses into Wilber's inner world . Practical spiritual instructions and guided meditations.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This cutting-edge theory of spirituality for today's global society honors the truths of modern science and postmodern culture while incorporating the wisdom of the great world religions Applying his highly acclaimed integral approach, KenWilberformulates a theory of spirituality that honors the truths of modernity and postmodernity-including the revolutions in science and culture-while incorporating the essential insights of the great religions. He shows how spirituality today combines the enlightenment of the East, which excels at cultivating higher states of consciousness, with the enlightenment of the West, which offers developmental andpsychodynamicpsychology. Each contributes key components to a more integral spirituality. On the basis of this integral framework, a radically new role for the world's religions is proposed. Because these religions have such a tremendous influence on the worldview of the majority of the earth's population, they are in a privileged position to address some of the biggest conflicts we face. By adopting a more integral view, the great religions can act as facilitators of human development: from magic to mythic to rational to pluralistic to integral-and to a global society that honors and includes all the stations of life along the way.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The mystical writings of the world's great physicists-now in one eye-opening volume that bridges the gap between science and religion Quantum Questions: Mystical Writings of the World's Great Physicists explores the intersection between modern physics and mysticism. Through the reflections of pioneering scientists like Einstein, Heisenberg, and Schroedinger, the book delves into the philosophical implications of scientific discoveries, revealing a shared realization: while physics illuminates the material world, it cannot capture the essence of reality, which remains a domain of mystical experience. This anthology invites readers to contemplate the limits of scientific inquiry and the enduring quest for a holistic understanding of existence. Readers will gain insight into the distinct yet interconnected realms of science and religion, as the physicists featured in the book articulate the necessity of both in forming a complete worldview.

By navigating the intricate dialogue between rational thought and mystical insight, readers will be inspired to reconsider their own understanding of consciousness and reality. For those seeking to enrich their perspective on the universe, Quantum Questions offers a unique lens through which to view the profound connections between science and religion. This compelling collection not only demonstrates the intellectual rigor of history's greatest physicists but also invites readers to engage with the deeper questions that have shaped human thought across centuries. …
