Theory of Everything

An Integral Vision for Business, Politics, Science and Spirituality

By: Ken Wilber

Narrated by: Fajer Al-Kaisi

Here is a concise, comprehensive overview of Wilber's revolutionary thought and its application in today's world. In A Theory of Everything, Wilber uses clear, nontechnical language to present complex, cutting-edge theories that integrate the realms of body, mind, soul, and spirit. He then demonstrates how these theories and models can be applied to real-world problems in areas such as politics, medicine, business, education, and the environment. Wilber also discusses daily practices that readers take up in order to apply this integrative vision to their own everyday lives.

This book is sick

My favorite part is that he calls the different tiers memes which is funny to hear in such a serious context. Heard about it from Matt McCusker from Matt and Shane’s secret podcast. Did not disappoint.

Novel and Rough, but worthwhile

I think it's more or less impossible to broach the intersection of what might effectively be referred to as Soteriology with all things secular without inferring some degree of condescension.
And yet, if taken seriously
—without the interruptions of fascination or obtuse aversion-
the text functions as a persuasive argument for radical humility in consideration and self-less (without privilege to personal/group material or mental/emotional position) action in praxis.
How could that be disagreeable?
But of course if the form offends,
raising red flags precluding an assertion of whatever pet variety of preferred egoic projection,
things will get lost in translation more often than not.
Nothing compared to the wide-eyed startle that came from reading Judith Butler go on about phantasmagoric possession (demonic possession by any other name) in confused absolute earnest.

I think the text was definitely made with visual reference in mind at many points and that conflict of format was handled OKAYish here. It's free to me as it's included with Audible Plus so I can't complain, but if I were forced to have purchased the information, a physical copy would certainly be preferred.

I think it's fair to critique that many of the purported claims of scientific validation require greater or more substantive qualification.
But Wilbur does not pretend his theory to be some kind of Holy Grail/Rosetta Stone and is transparent to his construct's infancy or more than inevitable tweaking and refutation/radical elaboration.
"Boomeritus" might be analogous to what might more generally understood today as "neo-liberalism" outside of the economic context.
The phrase was obviously a bit too cute, but the concept served its purpose.

I've only listened to it once and I think I should listen to it at least once more to cover areas where my attention may have drifted, but it was a worthwhile listen all in all.

Truth is found everywhere.

Appreciating any vision which respectfully acknowledges others’ dissimilar paradigms, I resonate with Wilber’s search for unity, without uniformity.

He has me curious!

This was an excellent introduction to the T.O.E.
It took me a bit to grasp the new vocabulary, but he has me curious now and I will be doing more reading.
