I hadn't read this e-book, though I already had read elsewhere about how one of Wilber's gurus had been accused of sexual abuse, etc.<br /><br />It certainly is discouraging to see how many religious leaders who sound good, actually are corrupt.<br /><br />At first, when I started learning about Wilber, I was so impressed with his extensive learning and insight. But then the more I learned about his system, the more it showed how untrue it was.<br /><br />Daniel WilcoxDaniel Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05178375087492786696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769727944915511936.post-25076312537541889332010-12-04T15:29:47.343-08:002010-12-04T15:29:47.343-08:00I met a nice guy in grad school who was doing his ...I met a nice guy in grad school who was doing his work on Ken Wilber. We talked, as grad students will do, about our ideas and I felt decidedly unimpressed. I felt my fellow student was espousing a rather anti-feminist belief system (although he argued that he was not). I wonder now if the fact that my feminism is grounded in pacifism was what led me toward discomfort with his description of Wilber's thoughts.Hysteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044678910937934731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769727944915511936.post-56922011078187774392010-12-04T07:24:14.269-08:002010-12-04T07:24:14.269-08:00Everything I needed to know about Wilber, I learne...Everything I needed to know about Wilber, I learned from <a href="http://www.strippingthegurus.com/ebook/Stripping_the_Gurus.pdf" rel="nofollow">Stripping the Gurus</a>. (Link goes to CC-licenced PDF book. Wilber isn't the only cult-meister featured in this one, either.)<br /><br />Short version? It's definitely a closed high-demand religious group. Does anyone with half an ounce of sense really need to know anything else?Norea from NTFnoreply@blogger.com
