The integral vision embodies an attempt to take the best of both worlds, ancient and modern. But that demands a critical stance willing to reject unflinchingly the worst of both as well.

More quotes by Ken Wilber
Truth, in the broadest sense, means being attuned with the real. To be authentically in touch with the true, and the good and the beautiful. Yes?
Ken Wilber
I don't have to agree with everything you say, but I should attempt at least to understand it, for the opposite of mutual understanding is, quite simply, war.
Ken Wilber
Meditation, then, is not so much a part of this or that particular religion, but rather part of the universal spiritual culture of all humankind--an effort to bring awareness to bear on all aspects of life. It is, in other words, part of what has been called the perennial philosophy.
Ken Wilber
In the dream state, the mind and soul are set free to create as they please, to imagine vast worlds not tied to gross sensory realities but reaching out, almost magically, to touch other souls, other people and far-off places, wild and radiant images cascading to the rhythm of the heart's desire.
Ken Wilber
To be integrally developed does not mean that you have to excel in all the known intelligences, or that all of your lines have to be at level 3. But it does mean that you develop a very good sense of what your own psychograph is actually like, so that with a much more Integral self-image you can plan your future development.
Ken Wilber
These two enormous forces - truth and meaning - are at war in today's world... And something sooner or later has to give.
Ken Wilber
To understand the whole it is necessary to understand the parts. To understand the parts, it is necessary to understand the whole. Such is the circle of understanding.
Ken Wilber
Unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life are not signs of mental illness, but of growing intelligence.
Ken Wilber
The single greatest world transformation would simply be the embrace of global reasonableness and pluralistic tolerance the global embrace of egoic-rationality (on the way to centauric vision-logic).
Ken Wilber
Nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time.
Ken Wilber
In Democracy, man exploits man in Communism, it's the other way round.
Ken Wilber
The Enlightenment was an attempt to liberate myth and base truth claims on evidence, not just dogma. But when science threw out the church, they threw out the baby with the bath water.
Ken Wilber
Prana is implicate to matter but explicate to mind mind is implicate to prana but explicate to soul soul is implicate to mind but explicate to spirit and the spirit is the source and suchness of the entire sequence.
Ken Wilber
Let's not forget that what is looking out of your eyes and hearing with your ears right now is already Spirit. And that Spirit, that I AMness, is always present in all sentient beings.
Ken Wilber
Real love will take you far beyond yourselfand therefore real love will devastate you.
Ken Wilber
The Big Bang has made Idealists out of almost anybody who thinks. First there was absolutely nothing, then Bang! Something. This is beyond weird. Out of sheerest Emptiness, manifestation arises.
Ken Wilber
Eternity is not ever-lasting time but the real, unfading, indestructible, and timeless Present, for, as Schroedinger said, the present is the only thing that has no end.
Ken Wilber
Physics is the most fundamental, and least significant, of the sciences.
Ken Wilber
The Self doesn't live forever in time, it lives in the timeless present prior to time, prior to history, change, succession. The Self is present as Pure Presence, not as everlasting duration, a rather horrible notion.
Ken Wilber
Most of us, I suspect, prefer our teachers to be of the Nice Guy variety.
