    Ken Wilber: The Spirituality of Tomorrow

    Yes, that's the second part of the same lecture. Wilber and Keating actually did an entire DVD regarding Christianity and these concepts. I've yet to see it, but I'd like to.

    centering/contemplative prayer

    I haven't yet watched the video, but is it coincidence that I also posted a thread with a video containing Father Keating just yesterday? That would be crazy if it were!

    Ken Wilber: The Spirituality of Tomorrow

    I'm sorry to see such a lack of interest, but thank you for taking the time to look it over and reply. :)

    Why Can't Atheists Go to Heaven?

    "The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart--not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death'." - Friedrich Nietzsche

    The Logic of Religion

    TheArcherMan, Wow, I just posted a video that addresses this perfectly in my thread "Ken Wilber: The Spirituality of Tomorrow"! I'm now also watching a second video taken from that same talk in which Father Keating addresses it as well. I posted it right before I read this thread! Perhaps...

    Ken Wilber: The Spirituality of Tomorrow

    Hi everyone! I've been interested in Ken Wilber for some time now and recently found this video, one of the few I'd not yet watched. I'd love your opinions on it if you're willing to suffer me by watching it. I think that for many of you it will bring a great perspective to religion and...

    Alcoholism vs sexual orientation

    Hey Ollie, I have not forgotten. Things have been mad over here as a friend committed suicide just a few days ago. The few replies I've posted over the last couple days have been those not requiring much thought, but I've held off on this thread for the time being. I'm out the door to the...

    Michael Jackson just died. How do you feel?

    He was in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2000 for supporting more charities than any other pop star.

    Michael Jackson just died. How do you feel?

    As of yesterday, I have it on good authority that Michael Jackson was regularly meeting with Pastor Andre Crouch before his death. He'd been "asking how he could make his music more spiritual" (the words I was told). At some point, Pastor Crouch apparently felt MJ didn't have long to live and...

    Double-post, and I don't know how to remove posts.

    Homosexuality......are people born that way? (moved from Christian Advice)

    I recognize that my point is off-topic, but I'm attempting to clear up a fundamental misconception that seems to be getting the better of many people on this forum. I've yet to state my own position regarding homosexuality, however, so I won't say anything regarding the rest of your reply.

    Question on Definites

    Rescued, I was wondering if you'd read my reply.

    Homosexuality......are people born that way? (moved from Christian Advice)

    You seem to be missing my point. All I'm saying is that, though love and sexual attraction can be interrelated (which we both have acknowledged), one does not necessitate the other and they can be entirely separate. As an example regarding interrelationship, I can "have fun at Disneyland" but I...

    Michael Jackson just died. How do you feel?

    Cliff, I hate to ask this, but are your replies totally serious? I ask only because I've not seen someone as adamant about the literalism of scripture for quite some time, if ever.

    Question on Definites

    What sort of interaction is he most responsive to in your friendship and in regard to talking about God?

    Alcoholism vs sexual orientation

    Ok, great. My next request should be a rather obvious starting point. :) Please define "man-lying" and "man-bedding" (as precise as you can, as I will likely make reference to the words you use specifically).

    Any other book

    I would agree with this assessment of the video if he had said the things he said and then tried to promote some particular view as being the right one and in accordance with what he was saying, but that's not what happened in the video. Cheesy as the presentation was, all I took from the guy...

    Alcoholism vs sexual orientation

    Ok, I'm still at work but have had a minute here and a minute there to consider the over-all point you're trying to make. I'd like to lay out my own understanding of it in a very simple, three-point geometrical form. I've omitted the contrast with alcoholism as it's merely an example (which I...

    Universalism

    If no one will be punished 'eternally' for sin, and the worst is right now, I'm gonna go have me some fun! :)
