It's amazing how minds whirl through something like this; overarching condemnation, Wilber worship, Wilber-hate, et al. Thankfully there's some humor too. As the old statement goes: “When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.” On the other hand, as Churchill pointed out: “Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.” To criticize or not to criticize - this is the question. Or is it? If one wants to play in the dualistic arena of one versus the other - it IS the question. Duality loves to whack into its other half. It's their job, It's their nature. On the other hand......what does the voice of non-duality say? And what does the voice of non-duality along with duality say? Hm. Anyway.......

So dear ones, please whack away at whatever - if you must. Or not - if you must. The truth is: nothing fundamentally changes one way or another, unless it does - and then there you have it. The core-key to change is to let go of fear; fear of Wilber worship, fear of Ken's real estate listed in Holons, fear of making light of something that is considered by some to be heavy, and vice versa, fear of condemnation, fear of non-condemnation, fear of not being right, fear of being wrong, fear of not being "integral", "fear of being too integral", "fear of being a reptilian brain", "fear of Sadam returning as a reincarnated rhino", etc. It's the folly of fear folks, unless it isn't, and well then shucky-darn, there you have it what ever it is, and however it shows up.

We have "God as fear", "God as no-fear", "God as that which is beyond fear", "God which includes fear and no fear but yet transcends and includes both", "God as the grand mystery that goes beyond anything we can possibly conjure" ad infinitum, ad nauseam. After all, there is only God so we might as well relax as it unfolds itself to itself by itself to itself as US, as everything/nothing, and not take our little old God-particle selves so seriously. Unless we must - by God! Because after all - God R US!!! :-)

Oops. Speaking of "God", I'm suddenly feeling feverishly pulled to resume my All-Week Rockies' Prayer Vigil. Sorry. I can't let up now, otherwise "God as the voice of guilt" might take over and I'll start thinking I'm slacking off. There's "God as great fear" present around the unthinkable possibility that the Rockies will not win the World Series you know, i.e., a bolt of lightening through the skull kind of thing if I stop twirling my prayer beads. Sorry. Gotta go. Now. Just push some food under the door when you get a chance. Picking up the mantra, hands in the maha-Rockies mudra position, full lotus posture wearing baseball spikes and a Rockies baseball cap: "We will Rock U, we will Rock U, we will Rock U......":-) Carry on.
