LORD, GIVE US INTEGRAL, BUT WITHOUT THE HYPE - Frank Visser "When Integral Spirituality was announced as the title of Wilber's next book, I had some misgivings about that project. Would it cover the field of religion and spirituality with an eye for the great variety of its expressions? Would it discuss what scholars in the field of comparative religion or the sociology of religion have contributed to a better understanding of the spiritual dimension? Would it be integral in the true sense of comprehensive? Or would it be yet another quick "application" of Wilber's main concepts, written in a feverish style, full of repetitions and references to Wilber's other writings? Unfortunately, this turned out to be the case."
