Chris--
One of the things that I learned long ago about facilitation is that if there
is something in the room with emotional energy around it, it needs to be
spoken out loud, or else things soon get very weird.
Open Space provides opportunity for participants to do just that, but
sometimes the f

No sainthood implied or desired for Wilber. But speaking as a person who
came closer to flunking philosophy than any other college course, I
appreciate his ability to make some sense out of philosophical ideas without
simplifying down to meaninglessness.

I have noticed a marked difference between groups that meet in the same
room and those that spread out around a facility. i like to have groups
meet in the same room ( the higher the ceiling the better) as it
facilitates a lot more sustained energy and helps bumblebees to find
their way around. A
I agree Laurel. It seems to depend on the group and the size and the
acoustics in a room. IN most of the cases that I have facilitated, the
groups have found the noise levels distracting and found other venues. We
had two groups in a large but low ceilinged room at the open space I
facilitated for

Until I read your words I did not consider that "what I was going through"
had been picked up on by the group prior to my verbalizing it. I believe
that you are right, and this new perspective is deeply important in filling
in my understanding of what happened. I am content with
I've been dragging my copy of "Sex, Ecology and Spirituality" around with me
for the past 4 years . . . I find it especially useful when I get the
feeling my mind is beginning to stagnate and have the need for a mental
stimulous injection - WOW!
Another reason I enjoy Ken Wilber's writing so much
ADDENDUM:
Wilber has been refining his thinking with fervor for the last couple of
years:
1998: "The Marriage of Sense and Soul"
"The Essential Ken Wilber - An Introductory Reader"
1999: "One Taste -- The Journals of Ken Wilber"
2000: "Integral Psychology -- Consciousness, Sp
Anyone who wants to "get to know" Ken Wilber a little better and/or seeks
proof that he is human; read "Grace and Grit" and "One Taste". There is a
real person behind that truly monumental mind...

Hi.
The critique of Wilber's work is in a book called:
"Ken Wilber in Dialogue -- Conversations with Leading Transpersonal
Thinkers"
by Rothberg and Kelly; 1998; Quest Books; ISBN: 0-8356-0766-6
Wilber's latest works take into positive consideration the criticisms and
observations that w
My favorite is when the skeptic comes to me after the first sessions and says
something like: "This is excellent. I didn't think this would work but it is
good!"

I just finished Wilbur's "The Theory of Everything," and I agree, it's good
stuff. (I also agree that it's like drinking from a fire hose.) The reason
I read it was to relate it to your books, especially "The Power of Spirit."
It did help in completing the picture.
Thanks,

I'm laughing away at our new minted patron saint!
Anyone know of any well done critiques of Wilber's work? I'm thinking
here about people who take him apart not out of malilce (perhaps he
dismissed them first!) but on solid ground, on the basis of the ideas as
they are...

My favorite parts of Open Space are...
Getting in touch with the "Me" who believes in and prepares for opening space.
Going into the room when no one is there and just sitting there in the middle.
Seeing everyone in the large circle before it starts.
The feeling that emerges once people have looke
In my posting on talking circles, I described the "Aho" response and gesture
which I learned from my Elder Ken Jackson. In case anyone chooses to teach
this, please make it clear:
"Aho" does not mean "I agree with you." It is not in the realm of reaction
or opinion.
The response "Aho" means, I

My perspective comes from a more theraputic model. You desribe your

An important distinction of course, as the word for "yes" in Ojibway is
"Ahenh." In Ojibway a sound like "aho" is also used to acknowledge what
has been said, but confusing the two would lead to some delicate
situations(!).

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

Wilbur also begins to identify communities of people trying put Integral

I have Ken Wilbur's book, A Brief History of Everything. Is Theory of
Everything another, more recent book?
He does give you plenty to chew on. I took A Brief History with me when I
was doing a series of treatments that included 2+ hours a day in a sauna.
