An integral approach acknowledges that all views have a degree of truth, but some views are more true than others, more developed, more evolved, more adequate.

More quotes by Ken Wilber
In Democracy, man exploits man in Communism, it's the other way round.
Ken Wilber
Authentic spirituality is revolutionary. It does not legitimate the world, it breaks the world it does not console the world, it shatters it. And it does not render the self content, it renders it undone.
Ken Wilber
The point is to unify the opposites, both positive and negative, by discovering a ground which transcends and encompasses both.
Ken Wilber
Global consciousness is not an objective belief that can be taught to anybody and everybody, but a subjective transformation in the interior structures that can hold belief in the first place, which itself is the product of a long line of inner consciousness development.
Ken Wilber
And as for baby-boomer parents cluck-clucking about illegal substances, ah, gimme a break. Still, I think I'll pass on the rave. But more power to 'em, I say.
Ken Wilber
What is it in you that brings you to a spiritual teacher in the first place? It's not the spirit in you, since that is already enlightened, and has no need to seek. No, it is the ego in you that brings you to a teacher.
Ken Wilber
When the thunder roars, do you not hear your Self? When the lightening cracks, do you not see your Self? When clouds float quietly across the sky, is this not your very own limitless Being, waving back at you?
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
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
Bad Gardens copy, good gardens create, great gardens transcend.
Ken Wilber
Art is a window to The Infinite, and opening to the goddess, a portal through which you and I, with the help of the artist, may discover depths and heights of our soul undreamed of by the vulgar world. Art is the eye of the spirit, through which the sublime can reach down to us, and we up to it, and be transformed, transfigured in the process.
Ken Wilber
The only justifications for belief have the form justified for me.
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
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
Most of us, I suspect, prefer our teachers to be of the Nice Guy variety.
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
Anything you are exclusively attached to & identify with ends up distorting & limiting awareness.
Ken Wilber
The integral sage, the nondual sage, is here to show us otherwise. Known generally as Tantric, these sages insist on transcending life by living it. They insist on finding release by engagement, finding nirvana in the midst of samsara, finding total liberation by complete immersion.
Ken Wilber
Love is a time-honored way to transcend the separate-self sense and leap into the sublime Treya and I held hands, closed our eyes, and jumped.
Ken Wilber
For what we don't realize today is just what the typical self of every previous stage failed likewise to comprehend: this is not the highest and greatest mode of consciousness which can be attained - there lie ahead the realms of the superconscious and the pitiful ego, by comparison, is as a speck of nothingness.
