About this listen

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.

A single purpose lies at the heart of all the great religious traditions: awakening to the astonishing reality of the true nature of ourselves and the universe. At the same time, through centuries of cultural accretion and focus on myth and ritual as ends in themselves, this core insight has become obscured. 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. 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. Taking Buddhism as an example, Wilber demonstrates how his comprehensive Integral Approach - which is already being applied to several world religions by some of their adherents - can avert a "cultural disaster of unparalleled proportions": the utter neglect of the glorious upper reaches of human potential by the materialistic postmodern worldview. Moreover, he shows how we can apply this approach to our own spiritual practice. This, his most sweeping work since Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, is a thrilling call for wholeness, inclusiveness, and unity in the religions of tomorrow.

Great Tomorrow Sutra

Love this Sutra! Love the carefully apportioned repetitions that always are heard interwoven in reinforced loops of yarn, weaving a most profoundly encouraging carpet to ride to all the next levels, stages etc.

Malcom narrates with a knowing and pleasant voice and shares excitement and wonder

powerful message for humanity

Overall the message and new content from Wilber is refreshing and deep. I've read about 10 of his other books, this one has new content on Shadow work and the stages beyond integral. Wilber does repeat himself quite a bit in this book, and it could perhaps be condensed, but I do find the repetition useful in the audio version so that it sinks into my mind better. The narration is clear in a British voice. I've listened to the recording three times, I found it most helpful listening along with the book the third time... It helped me get through the print copy faster and understand the audio better.

Exceptionally detailed integral meta-theory. Wow!!

Very plesant to listen to. Haven't read the book, only listened. Repetitititition is not an issue when listening. Ken's most detailed piece I an aware of, contains several pearls and great material for upcomming century, I hope at least.

One of the most comprehensive books

It covers more than I expected and gives practical advice.
it feels like "a" bible - a lot of life changing information.
I would recommend to bookmark the practical parts to return to.

Necessary but not sufficient

I love Wilbur and I had high expectations for this book.

In the beginning, Wilbur says that he will use Buddhism as an example of how to take a spiritual tradition all the way from Magic and literal Mythic, through rationale, pluralistic and all the way to integral. Although Wilbur does give many examples using Buddhism as a template I do not saying that after reading this book I have a clear understanding of how to adapt and transform a spiritual practice into the integral age.

Regardless of that the book goes into a very deep analysis off all the difference elements that can go wrong as we go deeper in states and higher in stages. Wilbur does that looking at first second and even third tear.

I actually think that for the first time I started to have a better understanding of what is actually happening in the third tear.

As much as I would like to recommend everyone to read this book, a large part of it is very academic and it is definitely not a light read :-)

But if you're interested in integral and want to have a much deeper understanding then what Wilbur usually gave until now regarding the transitions through states and stages and all the different pathologies that can occur and how to address them, this is definitely a great book 📚

Integrally Great.

Although using Buddhism as hoods base religion, Wilber fired a great job of explaining how Integral philosophy can augment asst pig the world's religions into an enlightening life practice to clean up, grow up and wake up our egos to true annihilation in the presence of the One.

Informative

The book is informative with a lot of interesting ideas, but it’s impossible to ignore the amount of repetition. Towards the mid point of the book I just wanted it to be done because of the repetition. And that’s despite finding the ideas engaging and interesting.
