“A spiritual but not religious life”
The Complete Edition of Ken Wilber's Unified Theory

“In the cosmic drama that will unfold in the future,
To all who seek joy and happiness
“I highly recommend this monumental work.”
- Seong Hae-young (Professor of Religious Studies, Seoul National University)

Ken Wilber, a master of modern integrative theory encompassing Eastern and Western philosophy, psychology, science, and religious traditions, has published his latest work, Finding Radical Wholeness, by Panmidong.
This book is the final version of the integrated theory that follows 『Boundless』 and 『History of Everything』, and is a compilation of the author's long-standing ideological journey.
Rather than following the doctrines of a specific religion, this book presents an integrated spirituality that connects everyday life, human relationships, inner reflection, and even social responsibility.
Professor Seong Hae-young of Seoul National University's Department of Religious Studies praised the book, saying, "It beautifully and clearly depicts the process of human history in which Eastern and Western religions, science and spirituality, psychology and mysticism, and consciousness and unconsciousness are integrated." He added, "I highly recommend this monumental work."
Psychologists and meditators around the world have also praised Big Holness as a must-read for our time, calling it “an excellent guide for spiritual but non-religious readers” and “an extraordinary self-help book for those seeking wholeness in all areas of life.”

You may have heard the saying, “spiritual but not religious.”
This applies to this book to some extent.
The approach of this book is spiritual in the sense that it helps you directly discover true holism (wholeness, true spirituality) in your life right here and now.
But this does not require any belief in magical or mythical stories, miraculous events, or institutional religion.
When we redefine true spirituality as the discovery of true holism, we bypass much of the magical and mythical beliefs that permeate many of the world's religions.
In precisely that sense, the book is “spiritual but not religious.”

True holism (Big Holism) creates space in your life for many things that are not yet part of it.
You may be missing out on many things that really belong to you and should be part of your life right now, and that could benefit you greatly and lead to your growth.
You may not have made space for them.

Eternity does not mean unending time.
Eternity means a timeless point.
Since eternity means 'no time (a point without time)', everything in eternity fits perfectly into every point of time.
And since eternity is timeless, there is no conflict or tension between eternity and time.
All that is timeless eternity exists fully in every moment of time.

It follows that infinity does not mean 'a very, very large space'.
Infinity, on the other hand, means 'a point without space'.
Infinity does not mean 'extremely vast space', but 'spaceless' (or transcending space).
And just as eternity, that is, timelessness, means that all of eternity exists completely at every point in time, so spaceless infinity means that all of infinity exists completely at every point in space.

The awakening experience is a direct experience of union with the ultimate ground of all existence, or the ultimate emptiness that encompasses the entire universe in its manifested form.
However, this experience does not give us any specific information about the relative shapes of our universe.
You can truly become one with everything and reach absolute enlightenment, which is of the utmost importance, but that doesn't mean you actually know anything specific in concrete terms.

Lucid dreamers see a very different reality and know that they are doing so.
That reality is real in the subtle dream state, but not in the gross state, that is, the waking state.
So they can be great prophets.
Because he sees that his thoughts materialize in the subtle realm but not in the gross realm, he loudly encourages the world to understand and realize the vision of his dream.
In other words, they try to change the rough realm so that it can finally follow what they saw in their dreams.

Healing beyond emotional functioning, or cleaning up, is a very different process from waking up and growing up.
First of all, all three of these processes are relatively independent of each other.
Even if you are highly advanced in one process, you may fall behind in the other two.
Solving a problem in one area does not necessarily mean solving the problems in the other two areas.
This is why a person who is very enlightened through deep awakening can be very immature emotionally and socially (at a low stage of development) and suffer from severe neuroses due to shadow elements (which have not been properly purified).
And just as meditation doesn't necessarily help us grow, it doesn't necessarily clear out our shadow elements.
In fact, in some cases, meditation can even lead to regression on the path of growth and purification.

Greene considers the very idea of ​​progress 'towards a higher level' to be terribly ethnocentric (or racist, sexist, or something similar), because he regards it as a terrible classist.
In other words, Green sees Growing Up as a dominance hierarchy, not a growth hierarchy.
Therefore, in reality, growth tends not to occur in green.
