Global Spirituality Event and Ken Wilber (The Author Rob Bell Loves!)

If I recommended that you stop everything and take three months to read a new book written by a tin foil-clad cultist


who believes he was born on the planet Venus, 10,000 years ago, would it be safe to say that I was enamored with his teachings?




If I wrote on my blog recommending the work of a white supremacist and told readers to set everything else aside and take three months to study the material, would it be accurate to think that I like what the swastika-wielding author had to say?


I speak the obvious.



So why is it, then, that celebrity emergent pastor, Rob Bell, gets a free pass for recommending that people take three months to read a book by occult New Ager, Ken Wilber?


I posted about this a while back on Slice.

Mr. Wilber is busy promoting his new global spirituality.



Today I received a promotion for his Integral Spiritual Experience event where a new, globally integrated religion is being promoted. You can see that Contemplative Spirituality is a big part of this.

(See the photo of Brother David Steindl-Rast as one of the speakers.) Rob Bell, in his book, Velvet Elvis, heartily recommends that readers take three months to read Wilber’s book, A Theory of Everything.


(Velvet Elvis, Page 192, Endnote 143)




Well, here is what Rob Bell’s author is teaching:

Hundreds of thousands of people around the globe have been touched and inspired by the vision of Integral Spirituality, a spiritual path that can integrate the wisdom and practices of every major spiritual tradition, east and west, with the best of science, philosophy, and psychology, bringing them together in a sophisticated world spiritual philosophy.



Occurring each year over the New Year’s holiday, Integral Spiritual Experience kicks off December 30, 2009 – January 3, 2010 with “The Personal Spiritual Journey – Your Unique Self,”


which will guide you through a personal exploration of your unique life and purpose at this particular time in history. As the foundation of the 5-year journey,


Year 1 will explore the Unique Self through an integrated prism of perspectives including Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, New Spirituality, Integral Psychology and others. We will then help you identify the practices you need to uncover your deepest and truest Self.


So how does a supposed Christian minister of the Gospel end up promoting someone teaching doctrines of demons?


(All spiritual paths lead to your highest god-self.)



How is it that Bell is the darling of evangelical Christians when he loves the work of Ken Wilber?


Something is rotten in the house of God and the stench is getting stronger hourly.
