Acerca de este libro electrónico

The author of nineteen books of philosophy and psychology, Ken Wilber is a pioneering thinker who has developed an integral "theory of everything" that embraces the truths of both Eastern spirituality and Western science. Yet while he is best known for his scholarly research into the world's contemplative traditions, Wilber is also an accomplished spiritual practitioner and mystic in his own right. In order to highlight the personal wisdom of this popular author, the editors of The Simple Feeling of Being have assembled a collection of inspirational, mystical, and instructional passages drawn from his publications. These heartfelt writings, born of Ken's own meditation practice and inner experiences, include:

   •  Poetic passages of contemplative insights and reflections
   •  Inspired descriptions of Spirit, Nondual Awareness, the Witness, One Taste, and other topics
   •  Commentary on the spiritual contributions of figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Saint Teresa of Ávila, Meister Eckhart, and Ramana Maharshi
   •  Anecdotes of personal experience and glimpses into Wilber's inner world
   •  Practical spiritual instructions and guided meditations
