Subject: Reading Room Additions Date: Thu, 08 May 2003 19:37:36 +0200 From: Frank Visser To: f.visser3@chello.nl WILBER FRIENDS MAILING LIST =========================== http://www.worldofkenwilber.com Amsterdam, May 8th 2003 Hi Wilber Friend, It's been a hectic month with lots of new additions to the site! Essays, translations and suggestions for improvement have been freely offered. ============================================================================= I've added the following motto to the Reading Room, since it expresses the spirit of that section so well: "Does the group allow free and rational inquiry into its teachings? Or does it discourage or even prevent critical analysis of its own tenets? Does it allow or encourage comparison and assessment of its methods and teachings with those of other paths, not as propaganda but as free inquiry? A transrational group will usually insist on this; a pre-rational group will avoid it." -- Ken Wilber, Spiritual Choices, 1987, p. 248 ============================================================================= Here we go then...
