"Kenneth SOrensen masterfully shows how the human being is a seven-fold system of energies and offers a variety of meditations for accessing all the colors of this rainbow of potentiality. Integral meditation is an illuminating and wise presentation of the science of meditation. It is a candid spiritual autobiography - a magnificent synthesis of the author's life to date and what he has discovered by consciously treading the path of the Soul." Michael Lindfield - Board President of Meditation Mount in Ojai, California Kenneth SOrensen (born 1962) is a psychotherapist, author and spiritual teacher, and the co-founder of Jivayou.com. He has an MA in Psychosynthesis from the University of East London and is the author of The Soul of Psychosynthesis: The Seven Core Concepts. In Integral Meditation, SOrensen offers a lively and comprehensive introduction to the esoteric philosophy of the Seven Rays (also known as the Seven Rivers of Life), which teaches how we can achieve Self-realisation by integrating and embodying the seven essential energies that underpin the universe. SOrensen explains how each of the Seven Rays can be navigated using a particular type of meditation that must be modified according to the meditator's personal blueprint of spiritual energy. The result is a unique path to the Soul for every seeker. While reflecting with unflinching honesty upon his own spiritual journey, SOrensen shows how the application of tried and tested techniques of meditation can bring inspiration, transformation and spiritual breakthrough. The formula is as simple as it is challenging: the integration of a variety of meditation techniques can result in the manifestation of universal energies that will profoundly change our relationship to ourselves, to those around us and to the universe as a whole. Drawing heavily on the teachings of Psychosynthesis, Integral psychology and ancient wisdom, Integral Meditation presents an approach to the psycho-spiritual journey that can be summed up in the invitation: "Meditate, love and choose freedom every day."

An edifying view of Buddhism from one of today's leading philosophers: a look at its history and foundational teachings, how it fits into modern society, and how it (and other world religions) will evolve. What might religion look like in the future? Our era of evolution in social consciousness and revolution in science, technology, and neuroscience has created difficulties for some practitioners of the world’s great spiritual traditions. How can one remain true to their central teachings while also integrating those teachings into a new framework that is inclusive of ongoing discoveries? Taking the example of Buddhism to explore this key question, Ken Wilber offers insights that are relevant to all of the great traditions. He shows that traditional Buddhist teachings themselves suggest an ongoing evolution leading toward a more unified, holistic, and interconnected spirituality. Touching on all of the key turning points in the history of Buddhism, Wilber describes the ways in which the tradition has been open to the continuing unfolding and expansion of its own teachings, and he suggests possible paths toward an ever more Integral approach. This work is a precursor to and condensed version of Wilber’s The Religion of Tomorrow.

This book explores conflict through the discerning lens of Integral Theory, applying Ken Wilber's AQAL model to a real-life case study, the River Conflict. Coauthor Richard J. McGuigan was a mediator in this ongoing dispute over fishing rights on the Fraser River in British Columbia, a situation where commercial, recreational, and First Nations fishing interests clashed. Voices of the various stakeholders are featured prominently, giving a vivid sense of a seemingly intractable situation. McGuigan and Nancy Popp set the stage for their Integral analysis of the River Conflict, then move expertly through four chapters aimed at understanding the conflict from the four dimensions of human experience: individual, collective, interior, and exterior. The result is a powerful picture of just how "integral" conflict is. This quadrant-by-quadrant analysis is well-punctuated by sidebar observations, insights, and tips for conflict practitioners or students, giving readers new to Integral Theory additional support in understanding and applying the AQAL model to their work.

A provocative examination of how the great religious traditions can remain relevant in modern times by incorporating scientific truths learned about human nature over the last century A single purpose lies at the heart of all the great religious traditions: awakening to the astonishing reality of the true nature of ourselves and the universe. At the same time, through centuries of cultural accretion and focus on myth and ritual as ends in themselves, this core insight has become obscured. Here, Ken Wilber provides a path for re-envisioning a religion of the future that acknowledges the evolution of humanity in every realm while remaining faithful to that original spiritual vision. For the traditions to attract modern men and women, Wilber asserts, they must incorporate the extraordinary number of scientific truths learned about human nature in just the past hundred years—for example, about the mind and brain, emotions, and the growth of consciousness—that the ancients were simply unaware of and thus were unable to include in their meditative systems. Taking Buddhism as an example, Wilber demonstrates how his comprehensive Integral Approach—which is already being applied to several world religions by some of their adherents—can avert a “cultural disaster of unparalleled proportions”: the utter neglect of the glorious upper reaches of human potential by the materialistic postmodern worldview. Moreover, he shows how we can apply this approach to our own spiritual practice. This, his most sweeping work since Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, is a thrilling call for wholeness, inclusiveness, and unity in the religions of tomorrow.
