The Religion of Tomorrow

A Vision for the Future of the Great Traditions - More Inclusive, More Comprehensive, More Complete

By: Ken Wilber

Narrated by: Graeme Malcolm

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 reenvisioning 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 100 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.

Must Read!!

This is a book to open you up and realize every side of the story. I couldn’t have felt anymore inspired after reading this book.

Amazing read and research

Ken is surely one of the smartest most experienced writers in the field of psychological evolution a d its role on our human development.

Great Tomorrow Sutra

Love this Sutra! Love the carefully apportioned repetitions that always are heard interwoven in reinforced loops of yarn, weaving a most profoundly encouraging carpet to ride to all the next levels, stages etc.

Malcom narrates with a knowing and pleasant voice and shares excitement and wonder

powerful message for humanity

Overall the message and new content from Wilber is refreshing and deep. I've read about 10 of his other books, this one has new content on Shadow work and the stages beyond integral. Wilber does repeat himself quite a bit in this book, and it could perhaps be condensed, but I do find the repetition useful in the audio version so that it sinks into my mind better. The narration is clear in a British voice. I've listened to the recording three times, I found it most helpful listening along with the book the third time... It helped me get through the print copy faster and understand the audio better.

Masterpiece

This is a mind expanding Book that brings everything together into one book. A true masterpiece!
