Subject: Excerpts Roadmap Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2003 13:46:09 +0200 From: Frank Visser To: f.visser3@chello.nl WILBER FRIENDS MAILING LIST =========================== http://www.worldofkenwilber.com Amsterdam, March 30, 2003 Hi Wilber Friend, As many of you know, Wilber is now completing volume 2 of the Kosmos trilogy (originally planned as volume 3) called "Kosmic Karma and Creativity" (Shambhala, 2004). Some portions of this book-in-progress have been posted on wilber.shambhala.com To aid you in your reading of these excerpts (this is heady stuff!), I have compiled a Table of Contents page on worldofkenwilber.com: A: AN INTEGRAL AGE AT THE LEADING EDGE (Content | Text) B: THE MANY WAYS WE TOUCH (Content | Text) C: THE WAYS WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER (Content | Text) D: THE LOOK OF A FEELING (Content | Text not yet available) E: THE GATHERING OF THE ZONES (Draft Content | Text not yet available) F: INTEGRAL POST-METAPHYSICS (Draft Content | Text not yet available) G: TOWARD A COMPREHENSIVE THEORY OF SUBTLE ENERGIES (Content | Text) This remark from Wilber taken from the Prologue of Excerpt A set this material in perspective: "I should also say that from now on—and certainly as evidenced in the following excerpts—I am writing only for students of my work. Every book written up to this point has made the assumption that the reader had no prior knowledge of any of my material. ... I am no longer doing so ... Henceforth, for the most part, my writing (including the following) assumes not just a passing familiarity but a working knowledge of the essentials of the AQAL matrix. ... For the same reason, I have ceased responding to critics and am devoting myself to working exclusively with individuals who understand the integral approach (and whose criticism from within is much more accurate and cogent)." --Ken Wilber, Excerpt A, Prologue (September 2002) You can access this Table of Contents page (and through it, the as of yet published Excerpts) with the link on the WHATS NEW? page, and the Recent Additions section of the READING ROOM page).
