"Norman Einstein": The Dis-Integration of Ken Wilber
by Geoffrey D. Falk
* Email List (Subscribe)
Ken Wilber is the "long-sought Einstein of consciousness research," having been generously regarded
as such since the late 1970s.
Ken Wilber is "a genius of our times."
Ken Wilber is "the world's most intriguing and foremost philosopher."
Ken Wilber's ideas have influenced Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Jeb Bush, Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins,
and a host of other luminaries, spiritual and otherwise. Writer Michael Crichton, leadership guru
Warren Bennis, playwright Eve Ensler (The Vagina Monologues), alternative medicine's Larry Dossey,
the Wachowski Brothers (directors of The Matrix), and a handful of rock stars have all lent
their voices in support of the "integral" community.
Yet Ken Wilber, his celebrated theories of consciousness, and the increasingly unquestioning population
of "second-tier" spiritual aspirants surrounding him and participating in his Integral Institute (I-I) and
Integral University, are not what they appear to be.
"Norman Einstein": The Dis-Integration of Ken Wilber will show you why the community around Wilber is
being increasingly called a "cult," even by former founding members of I-I who have seen it first-hand.
