One Taste: Daily Reflections on Integral Spirituality

Description

As one who has written extensively about the interior life, meditation, and psychotherapy, Ken Wilber-the leading theorist in the field of integral psychology-naturally arouses the curiosity of his numerous readers. In response to this curiosity, this one-year diary not only offers an unprecedented entree into his private world, but offers an introduction to his essential thought. "If there is a theme to this journal," Wilber writes, "it is that body, mind, and the luminosities of the soul-all are perfect expressions of the Radiant Spirit that alone inhabits the universe, sublime gestures of that Great Perfection that alone outshines the world." Wilber's personal writings include- . Details of his own spiritual practice . Advice to spiritual seekers . Reflections on his work and that of other prominent theorists in the field of integral psychology . His day-to-day personal experiences . Dozens of his short theoretical essays on topics from art to feminism to spirituality to psychotherapy

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 Integral Education Network, Integral Training, and Integral Spiritual Center.

"Wilber offers his readers a deeper look into his life, and an invitation to wake up from the busy dream that substitutes for Being and choose instead the One Taste: pure Freedom and radiant Release."-The Bloomsbury Review "Wilber has established himself as one of the most astute and comprehensive theorists of human consciousness, a penetrating thinker with a rare gift for absorbing, synthesizing, and categorizing ideas."-Parabola "One Taste offers easy access to the rich cornucopia of Ken Wilber's transpersonal thought and extraordinary vision of How Things Are."-Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence "When a great mind like Ken Wilber's starts freely commenting, you want to be there! Wilber's brilliance pours out on every page-so it's both fun and profound. His work models what spiritual and intellectual life ought to be about."-Michael Lerner, author of The Politics of Meaning "One Taste is a delectable expression of Ken Wilber's unitary vision, filtered through intimate spiritual-life experience. The entire book goes down easy and is one of the most interesting autobiographical writings among Western spiritual teachers and pundits today. A must see, must taste!"-Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening to the Sacred "Ken Wilber is a source of inspiration and insight to all of us. Read everything he writes. It will change your life."-Deepak Chopra
