The Spectrum of Consciousness
About This Book
Wilber's first major work, written at age 23, presents a synthesis of Eastern and Western approaches to consciousness organized as a "spectrum" — from the personal ego at one end through transpersonal levels to the non-dual Absolute at the other. He argues that different schools of psychology and therapy address different levels of this spectrum, and that an integral approach requires recognizing the partial truth of each.
What You'll Learn
Human consciousness is not a single thing but a spectrum of levels, each with its own sense of identity, its own pathologies, and its own modes of healing. Western psychology and Eastern spirituality address different levels of the spectrum — neither is wrong, and both are needed for a complete map of human development. The ground-level of all consciousness is not the ego but the non-dual Absolute, which is always already present.
