In this groundbreaking book, Ken Wilber uses his widely acknowledged "spectrum of consciousness" model to completely rewrite our approach to such important fields as psychology, spirituality, anthropology, cultural studies, art and literary theory, ecology, feminism, and planetary transformation. What would each of those fields look like if we wholeheartedly accepted the existence of not just body and mind but also soul and spirit?
In a stunning display of integrative embrace, Wilber weaves these various fragments together into a coherent and compelling vision for the modern and postmodern world.
"This intellectually demanding yet engagingly written collection of
essays explores a number of timely and important issues, such as the
relationship between psychological and spiritual growth and the
political implications of where we locate Spirit (God? Gaia?). Along the
way, the author revisits his earlier books, revealing how his thought
has developed and, in the process, introducing his central ideas to the
first time reader."—Keith Thompson, San Francisco Chronicle
Ken Wilber is the author of over twenty books. He is the founder of
Integral Institute, a think-tank for studying integral theory and
practice, with outreach through local and online communities such as

Center.
