"Beyond My Ken?" Personal Ponderings on the Philosopher Profound

 Let's get real about this. Or, at least, let me get real about this. The philosophical elephant in our psycho-spiritual living room at least needs to be recognized…

And so, let me start with an absolute, personal truth: Ken Wilber has probably had as great an influence on my mind as any living author. His integration of developmental psychology and Eastern mysticism, and several of his key concepts – the pre/trans fallacy, intersubjective hermeneutical verification, states and stages… Continue

The CommonSense CommonHealth of the CommonWealth, a Personal, Political, Polemical, Prescription

     I. Introduction

As a professional ghostwriter, I often know relatively little,
especially at first, about the subjects I write about.
This is actually an advantage in most cases, because my ignorance forces
me to take a step back as I ask basic questions and question basic
assumptions. That is, my lack of knowledge is an advantage, because it
gives me a fresher, beginner's

Ken Wilber, Speaking of Everything, Disc 1, Tracks 6-14 now available

Hi all. If you go to the front page of Enlightenment.Com, under the pulldown audio menu you can now listen, for free, to Ken Wilber, Speaking of Everything, disc 1, tracks 6-14. This groundbreaking interview with Wilber -- he had never before allowed anyone to publish a media-based interview -- is still fascinating and informative several years later.

Also, just so you know...we have sold out of our original run of this beautifully designed 2 CD… Continue

In order to answer the question, "What happens when I die?" I feel it is important to take a look at something a bit less speculative and that is the question of what happens when we live. There is no way to understand death if you don't know wha...

I like the simplicity of how you describe the Self. It also brings up the question of how to maintain this awareness. For myself, I’ve fallen into this other dimension/awareness and it’s very scary. (I think it’s because suddenly there’s a heigh...

Is There Proof That God Exists?

By Eric Allen Bell

The question was raised by a member of Global One TV as to whether or not God exists. Rarely is the question heard however, "How do I know that I exist?"

One's own existence seems self-evident. And yet there really isn't any proof - not objective proof anyway. And if you try to prove your existence to others it raises the question of whether or not other… Continue

I AM the Resurrection

By Eric Allen Bell
Easter Sunday
2009

Jesus the Christ did not have a website. And if he did, Judas probably would have hacked it. Later on, the Christian church would have taken it over and rewritten all the code entirely.

To the best of our knowledge, Jesus did not write a book, nor was he promoting a set of tapes, DVDs or CDs. Jesus was never on Oprah.

So since he left no writing behind, we are left with 4 accounts of people who… Continue

Seeking Spiritual Comfort

By Eric Allen Bell

Who turns to spirituality to find comfort? Certainly not the Soul. The Soul does not seek comfort. The Soul is always just fine.

The Ego mind seeks comfort. The Ego fears death, fears the unknown, wishes to remain in control. The Ego is not intelligent. The Ego is the product of the frightened animal brain - that which has remained constant throughout all the many stages of human evolution.

The Ego does not want t… Continue

Both Flavors

Both Flavors

I am no longer
of this world
in all ways
save one
the body excretes
its appetites
into an updraft
through the layers
of liberation
that I have suffered
to experience

one moment
I am what I am
and the next
I am who I am
if both shall live
then I fear
I shall never
know peace
all I crave
is to exist
or sleep
in one state
or the other

what need is there
for heaven or hell
when both flavors
are present always
as an aftertaste
for the living
