Summary
A provocative examination of how the great religious traditions can remain relevant in modern times by incorporating scientific truths learned about human nature over the last century.
A single purpose lies at the heart of all the great religious traditions: awakening to the astonishing reality of the true nature of ourselves and the universe. At the same time, through centuries of cultural accretion and focus on myth and ritual as ends in themselves, this core insight has become obscured. Here Ken Wilber provides a path for reenvisioning a religion of the future that acknowledges the evolution of humanity in every realm while remaining faithful to that original spiritual vision. For the traditions to attract modern men and women, Wilber asserts, they must incorporate the extraordinary number of scientific truths learned about human nature in just the past 100 years - for example, about the mind and brain, emotions, and the growth of consciousness - that the ancients were simply unaware of and thus were unable to include in their meditative systems. Taking Buddhism as an example, Wilber demonstrates how his comprehensive Integral Approach - which is already being applied to several world religions by some of their adherents - can avert a "cultural disaster of unparalleled proportions": the utter neglect of the glorious upper reaches of human potential by the materialistic postmodern worldview. Moreover, he shows how we can apply this approach to our own spiritual practice. This, his most sweeping work since Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, is a thrilling call for wholeness, inclusiveness, and unity in the religions of tomorrow.

Not going nuts!
Truly enlightening. Superb performance and applicable content. Thanks to Ken Wilber's work, I was liberated to discover that I was not insane or going nuts, but rather it's a stage of development naturally kicking in that I was previously unaware of.
Also a very practical section on shadow work from an integral perspective. The exercises from the book in combination with other integration techniques have fueled my first proper awakening. Highly and thankfully recommend.

Everybody should read this book
Quite literally opened my mind, I’m now so much more aware of the layers of consciousness and it’s effect upon the world. This audio is 20 plus hours but Iv enjoyed it immensely and will defiantly listen to again.
Thanks you Ken Wilber and sounds true

Summary
"The Religion of Tomorrow" is a book that explores the evolution of spirituality and religion in the modern world. In the book, Wilber argues that traditional religions are in decline and that a new, more inclusive and holistic form of spirituality is emerging. He calls this new spirituality "the religion of tomorrow."
According to Wilber, the religion of tomorrow will be based on three key principles: inclusivity, integrality, and evolution. Inclusivity refers to the idea that the religion of tomorrow will be inclusive of all spiritual traditions and will recognize that each tradition has its own unique wisdom and insights to offer. Integrality refers to the idea that the religion of tomorrow will integrate the insights of science, psychology, and other disciplines into its understanding of spirituality. And evolution refers to the idea that the religion of tomorrow will recognize that spirituality is an evolving process and that it must adapt to the changing needs and challenges of the modern world.
In the book, Wilber discusses the various spiritual traditions and practices that will be a part of the religion of tomorrow, including meditation, yoga, and shamanism. He also discusses the role that psychology and neuroscience will play in understanding and cultivating spiritual growth.
Overall, "The Religion of Tomorrow" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a vision for the future of spirituality and religion. It encourages readers to embrace a more inclusive and holistic approach to spirituality and to recognize the importance of integrating different disciplines and traditions in their understanding of the spiritual path.

The God of Venn diagrams
Get a notepad, god just got technical.
Very technical, and would require some study on the listeners part.
If you like playing dungeons and dragons then you might enjoy the purple structure mythic vs rational orange state Top Thrump feel to the book.
