Resumen del Editor

From integral philosopher Ken Wilber, a practical guide to finding a radical and complete Wholeness through a path that blends integral theory, psychology, spiritual practice, and shadow work.

According to Ken Wilber, the perpetual human search for growth and fulfillment is often incomplete. In this book, Wilber integrates the wisdom of spirituality, psychology, shadow work, science, and integral theory to offer us a path to a radical and complete Wholeness of Waking Up, Growing Up, Opening Up, Cleaning Up, and Showing Up. Wilber shows listeners how to apply integral theory to their everyday lives for transformation. For example, he shows how the theory of the Four Quadrants—the four perspectives through which we view the world—relates to our lives and allows us to show up and be more present. He also discusses how to evolve our multiple intelligences, how to increase our spiritual awareness, how to process what’s hidden in the depths of our consciousness, and how to enhance, deepen, and widen the feelings of bliss and love. Wilber introduces several practices—on topics such as the Witness, One Taste, and shadow work—to lead us to direct experiences that we can integrate into our lives. In this way, we truly understand Wholeness and can make room for everything life brings our way.

No other path of growth includes these five categories—each of which is a unique path to wholeness. By combining them and integrating them, one comes to a realization of what Wilber calls Big Wholeness—a completeness in which everything in our experience comes together to pull us into this deep meaning, where we feel in touch not only with all of the important aspects of ourselves but also with everything in our world.

Ken does it again...depth for the ages

Ken Wilber's writings changed my life back in the mid-'90s with "A Brief History of Everything," and it just got better from there. I maintain that he uas created the most comprehensive map of reality that has yet been devised, and each book is sort of at once an overview of where his worldview is at right then and a deep-dive into one or another aspect of it. For instance, this one has actual exercises in locating and experiencing various higher developmental states (including—unprecedented for him, I believe—a section on sexual tantra!), so it's not just theory. Even still, he distills various cultural issues with a grace and clarity nearly unmatched.

Wilber is the first to admit that he stands on the shoulders of giants, and his encyclopedic knowledge of the great wisdom traditions of the world—combined with "knowledge of acquaintance" in the form of actual *experience* of these states he elucidates—remains among the most impressive I've ever come across. May he live long and write more!
