Didn’t Like It“Nearly impossible to read his style of writing. The introduction is promising but the book fails to deliver. In all honesty, I did not finish reading so perhaps it got better. TOUGH to imagine, however, unless you like his writing style.” see full review » see other reviews » |

It really is about everything, and thus, as a reader or survey, it is very valuable. He is widely read and he has the capacity to retain much of it and use it collaboratively. Stock it in your library, underline it, and definitely read it.”

There in the heart, where the couple finally unite, the entire game is undone, this nighmare of evolution, and you are exactly where you were prior to the beginning of the whole show. With a sudden shock of the utterly obvious, you recognize your own Original Face, the face you had prior to the Big Bang, the face of utter Emptiness that smiles as all creation and sings as the entire Kosmos--and it is all undone in that primal glance, and all that is left is the smile, and the reflection of the moon on a quiet pond, late on a crystal clear night."”

From the individual to the global. In fact if I miss anything it's a 'group' dimension - sometimes things happen in groups that are qualitatively different from what goes on personally or globally. No doubt Wilber will soon have a book on that too - if he hasn't already. Not many people are good at synthesis, but he takes it to the level of art.”
