"Ken Wilber is a national treasure. No one is working at the
integration of Eastern and Western wisdom literature with such
depth or breadth of mind and heart as he." —Robert Kegan, Professor
of Education, Harvard University Graduate School of Education, and
author of In Over Our Heads
"When Ken Wilber’s thought walks through your mind, the door to the
next higher level becomes visible. Anyone seeking to update the
wisdom traditions of their lineage needs his reality and
consciousness maps. The kabbalah of the future will lean on Ken’s
work." —Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi
"Ken Wilber is today’s greatest philosopher and both critic and
friend to authentic religion, a true postmodern Thomas Aquinas."
—Father Richard Rohr, Center for Action and Contemplation
“The religion of tomorrow, according to Ken Wilber, will not be one
religion, but all religions guiding their respective constituents
toward oneness with Ultimate Reality. This book is Ken Wilber’s
comprehensive synthesis of all the elements that make for human
development from the Big Bang through the course of material and
biological evolution. The recent discoveries of science, especially
in the areas of developmental psychology and historical criticism,
as well as mystical experience, have enabled him to bring together
contemporary science, the wisdom of the world religions, and an
integral presentation of the human condition with all its
potential. The endless complexities of the evolutionary process
gives way to a sublime simplicity, culminating in the spiritual and
integral evolution of the human person toward unity with That Which
Is.”—Thomas Keating, author of Open Mind, Open Heart
