Chris-- 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. Joelle * * =

Harrison: 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, Dave Koehle

Harrison-- 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. I'd start the day reading, t

For most of us -- opening space for folks is such a immediate "turn-on" that considering the theoretical applications and implications is rather a drag. But occasionally, thinking about what we are doing is worthwhile, if only to try and understand it and do it all better. Over the years, I have f
