Subject: Wilber's view of this website Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 00:17:07 +0100 From: f.visser3@chello.nl To: f.visser3@chello.nl WILBER FRIENDS MAILING LIST =========================== http://www.worldofkenwilber.com Newsletter Nr. 118 Amsterdam, March 23, 2004 Dear Wilber Friends, Ken Wilber responded to my Newsletter of a few days ago on "Conceptual Reflections" with A Suggestion for Reading the Criticisms of My Workon Frank Visser's "World of Ken Wilber" Site "I am NOT saying that people can't criticize my work without talking to me. Of course they can (and have and do). I am saying, if you want to know what Ken Wilber's view is about a topic, better listen only to either Ken Wilber or people who are in dialogue with Ken Wilber. Otherwise, please read critics like Mark Edwards, NOT to find out what my view is (although they constantly claim to know), but rather for any insights about their own views that they might offer, which are often very important and illuminating in their own right (and, of course, are often actually quite similar to mine). But please keep these two items separate, and judge them independently. That truly is all I am saying." He also announces the launch of the IntegralUniversity.org website this summer: "We are about to launch IntegralUniversity.org. There are over 20 domains in it—from integral psychology to integral politics to integral ecology to integral spirituality to integral art. We are posting over 2000 pages of written material on the integral/AQAL approach to all of those domains, written by over 80 domain hosts and cohosts, with several hundreds of theorists in the dialogue. In other words, all of this IU material was developed with theorists who are in constant dialogue with me and each other in various ways."
