 Roger Walsh reviews Ken Wilber's Sex, Ecology, Spirituality: The Spirit of Evolution
Wilber uses the maps devised by cognitive developmental psychologists, such as Jean Piaget, to trace the psychological development of individuals--which he ties to social and cultural evolution from early hominids up to present society.
Wilber, however, points to the power of a culture's techno-economic base in determining its social hierarchy, and argues that there is no guarantee that future technologies will necessarily foster equality, a concern which seems to have been largely overlooked by feminists.
Wilber focuses on Christianity, but similar confusion and ambivalence toward mysticism seem characteristic of other traditions which fix final authority in a historical text and are therefore embarrassed by breakthroughs of new mystical insights.

 John Heron Spiritual Inquiry: a critique of Wilber
Whatever the surface differences, Wilber insists, the deep structures of the stages of the spiritual path are the same, as this path is described in the literature of several different religious and mystical traditions (Wilber, Engler and Brown, 1986; Wilber, 1995).
Wilber could have argued that this second warrant is an extension of the first, that since all the different mystical traditions are valid transcendental inquiries, therefore they all tend to come up with the same basic findings.
Wilber, from the evidence of his books, reads as though he is already sold, on grounds independent of textual consensus, on some form of Buddhism, perhaps (his modernised version of) the views of Nagarjuna, the founder of Madhyamika Buddhism, and his Buddhism similarly influences his account of the perennial philosophy.

 The Development of Ken Wilber's Thought - Phase 4 - All Quadrants All Levels
The first form Ken Wilber's unified theory took was of a bifurcating Spectrum of Consciousness supported by a an underlying Ground of Being.
Wilber applies the term "flatland" to those situations or systems of knowledge when the Left Quadrants (Subjective) are ignored in favor of the Right Quadrants; and "wonderland" to when the Right Quadrants (Objective) are ignored in favor of the ones on the Left.
Through his model, Wilber claims to have deconstructed the compartmentalized, disconnected worldview of science (objective), religion (subjective), and ethics (intersubjective) and replaced it with a more unified integrated one, with each area of knowledge going in one of the quadrants.

 [No title]
The point is simply that the interior dimensions of the human being seem to be composed of a spectrum of consciousness, running from sensation to perception to impulse to image to symbol to concept to rule to formal to vision-logic to psychic to subtle to causal to nondual states.
As I have suggested elsewhere (Wilber, 1995a, 1997), whenever the other quadrants are denied reality, they in effect sneak back into one's system in the form of internal self-contradictions -- the banished and denied validity claims reassert themselves in internal ruptures.

Wilber gives no specific algorithm, but seems only to suggest that these dimensions may be used for a value system that has greater nuance than those coming before.
While Wilber uses language to claim that spiritual experience grasps the whole, it is, in practical reality, his thinking which attempts to grasp the whole in the form of his system.
If Wilber is operating in good faith, and his map of trans-intellectual, trans-personal space is “entirely in the realm of thought,” using the flat medium of “the printed page, the spoken word, the thoughts that create them and the language that allows them,” then he is using that medium beyond anything I’ve ever seen before.

Wilber (The Eye of Spirit, LJ 2/15/97) relies heavily on traditional philosophers to support his argument for multiple layers of knowing and the potential of empirical science to accept it.
In discussing religion Wilber does a superb job of delineating what religion really needs to be: religion, really the spiritual *experience*, is not the literal myths that true believers hang their hats on, nor the differing versions of God that separate the followers of the almost countless religions and religious concepts in the world.
Wilber's vision expands and deepens while becoming more refined with each new book, and it is clear that what he is creating is a viable blueprint for a globally and spiritually aware future for this planet and it's inhabitants.

 Electronic Briefing Book: The Secret CIA History of the Iran Coup
Written in March 1954 by Donald Wilber, one of the operation’s chief planners, the 200-page document is essentially an after-action report, apparently based in part on agency cable traffic and Wilber’s interviews with agents who had been on the ground in Iran as the operation lurched to its conclusion.
Long-sought by historians, the Wilber history is all the more valuable because it is one of the relatively few documents that still exists after an unknown quantity of materials was destroyed by CIA operatives — reportedly “routinely” — in the 1960s, according to former CIA Director James Woolsey.
Wilber was not in Iran while the coup was occurring, and his account of it can only have been based on his debriefing of Kermit Roosevelt and other participants.

Written at twenty three, 'The Spectrum of Consciousness' (1977) was a powerful early attempt by Wilber to devise a 'General Unified Theory' of consciousness (id to ego to Godhead) by correlating East-West psychological, philosophical, and spiritual cognitive maps.

 Ken Wilber's theory offers a spiritual and philosophical map
The concept of Wilber helps to avoid prerational "accidents" and on the other hand to recognize authentic spirituality.
Wilber gave already a beginning of this in No Boundary, though he there still described the rational thinking as a counterpole to spirituality and not as a preliminary stage to permanent higher levels of spirituality (he changed it soon).

One awareness in particular is intriguing me, and that is the relationship between “my” thoughts and the thoughts of the culture within which I live, move, and have my being.
Wilber’s four-quadrant approach is very useful here, but as long as it remains an object, an external map upon which my mind plots co-ordinates, rather that being a framework for experiencing the evolution of consciousness through the medium of this person, its usefulness is limited.
And I expect that has become increasingly true for Wilber, because in the course of the past four years or so he has come out of his self-imposed public reticence and actively engaged people in the development of what he calls the “integral operating system” (IOS).
