I wonder if the genius of Ken Wilber has been turned to dissolving
the hardening of the hearteries that characterizes
fundamentalism? If he hasn't perhaps one of the students
reading this might set her/him self that task!
One key passage is from A Brief History of Everything p. 61;
Evolution is best thought of as Spirit-in-action,
God-in-the-making, where Spirit unfolds itself at every stage of
development, thus manifesting more of itself, and realizing more of
itself, at every unfolding.........an infinite process that is
completely present at every finite stage, but becomes more
available to itself with every evolutionary opening.
Evolution = God at work! There is nothing more integrative
than this idea.
It occurs to me that the above quotation is also a description of
the development of each of us - what is true of Creation as a whole
is (of course) true of each of its parts.
And in the understanding of Wilber, and the great teachers through
the ages, when we are able to not be hung up on duality we are that
whole Spirit-in-action.
