I still remember the night that I finished this incredible book.  It stirred up so many emotions that I'll never forget.  The tears flowed down my face, I smiled, I was alive, it hurt but it was just so beautiful.  A must read!!!!!

This is the book to loan of give those who want to get informed on Wilber and integral, but come to the world from their hearts and an emotional perspective, rather than intellectually. Start here and then try One Taste.

This is one of the most impactful books I've read.  I moved through so many spaces on the ride called Grace and Grit… and it was during the time I was reading this book that I actually began to get the universality of suffering in a deeply visceral way.  Just thinking of the book I get moved.  I don't know how it's possible for anyone to read the entire book and not be permanently altered for the better.  And as if that weren't enough, it's a great intro for non-scholars into Ken Wilber's writing….from here I'd go to ONE TASTE and then you're ready for the rest of it :)

The Self doesn't live forever in time, it lives in the timeless present prior to time, prior to history, change, succession. The Self is present as Pure Presence, not as everlasting duration, a rather horrible notion.

Love is a time-honored way to transcend the separate-self sense and leap into the sublime; Treya and I held hands, closed our eyes, and jumped.
