I was so enthralled with A Brief History of Everything that I went out and filled my shelves full of Wilber. I've just finished The Marriage of Sense and Soul (1998, I think) in which he takes a stab at integrating science and religion/spirituality. The biggest "aha" for me happened when, in his distinction between religion (dogma) and spirituality, he identified the common denominator in world spiritual practice as the injunction to experience transcendence, not just study it, talk about it or think about it. It allowed me to get past the dogma and to harvest some of the profound truths that connect world religions. I find that the more I read Wilber, the more I relate much of what he says to Open Space - and the more I see Open Space as "applied spirituality". Thanks, Harrison, for putting me on to him. Laurel.
