The Religion of Tomorrow: A Vision for the Future of the Great Traditions - More Inclusive, More Comprehensive, More Complete
Description
For the traditions to attract modern men and women, Wilber asserts, they must incorporate the extraordinary number of scientific truths learned about human nature in just the past 100 years - for example, about the mind and brain, emotions, and the growth of consciousness - that the ancients were simply unaware of and thus were unable to include in their meditative systems. A provocative examination of how the great religious traditions can remain relevant in modern times by incorporating scientific truths learned about human nature over the last century. This, his most sweeping work since Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, is a thrilling call for wholeness, inclusiveness, and unity in the religions of tomorrow.. Here Ken Wilber provides a path for reenvisioning a religion of the future that acknowledges the evolution of humanity in every realm while remaining faithful to that original spiritual vision. A single purpose lies at the heart of all

WAKING UP, GROWING UP, CLEANING UP AND SHOWING UP. Ken Wilber managed with The Religion of Tomorrow to explain Integral Theory and the Fourth Turning for all spiritualities in accessable language.

Integral Theory combines the two and ads two more: CLEANING UP and SHOWING UP. The Buddha, for instance, was enlightened but only at the mythic level - thus ethnocentric.
