INTEGRAL WORLD MAILING LIST http://www.integralworld.net Newsletter Nr. 755 Amsterdam, January 30th, 2019 REAL INTEGRAL VS. FAKE INTEGRAL - Transcending-Yet-Including the Knowledge of Science, Part Two - BRAD REYNOLDS Frank Visser—highlighted in his posting “Ken Wilber's Natural Theology”— consistently makes the error of asserting that if a person has a spiritual perspective then they “oppose neo-Darwinian evolution.” But this is not true. He certainly places this label on Ken Wilber, but that's because he misunderstands what Wilber is asserting about “Eros” and evolution being a process of “Spirit-in-action,” not simply physical and biological forces at play (such as with “random mutations,” or “fortunate accidents,” etc.). Visser seems to go down an endless “rabbit hole” (or wormhole?) as he chases Wilber's idea about Eros, yet he does so by erroneously misreading Wilber's overall intentions. Visser is only seeing with the Eye of Science-Mind, not with the Eye of Spirit, which transcends-yet-includes the knowledge of science. Visser consistently distorts Wilber's integral view to create a “strawman” so he can then correct it with current views on scientific evolution (see Part I). Yes, I agree Wilber has been somewhat sloppy in calling Eros a “force,” as if it is a law of Nature (like the electromagnetic “force”), but that is not how I read Wilber's overall Integral Message.
