Ken:Die Religion von morgen

A provocative exploration of how the major religious traditions can remain relevant today by incorporating the scientific truths learned about human nature over the last century. At the core of all major religious traditions lies a single goal: awakening to the astonishing reality of our true nature and that of the universe. At the same time, this core insight has been overshadowed by centuries of cultural focus on myth and ritual. Here, Ken Wilber outlines a way to reconceive a religion of the future that acknowledges the evolution of humanity in every area while remaining true to this original spiritual vision. For traditions to attract modern men and women, Wilber argues, they must incorporate the extraordinary number of scientific truths learned in the past 100 years about human nature—such as the mind and brain, emotions, and the growth of consciousness—that the ancients simply did not know and therefore could not integrate into their meditative systems. Using Buddhism as an example, Wilber demonstrates how his comprehensive integral approach—which some followers are already applying to several world religions—can avert a cultural catastrophe of unprecedented magnitude: the complete neglect of the glorious upper realms of human potential by the materialistic postmodern worldview. Furthermore, he shows how we can apply this approach to our own spiritual practice. This is his most comprehensive work since 'Eros, Cosmos, Logos,' a compelling call for wholeness, inclusivity, and unity in the religions of tomorrow.
