Dear Unity Thinkers,

It is my privilege to share a special recording with you. I happened on to
this with a random click while re-searching Unity consciousness. This is
lengthy interview in which Ken Wilber shares the state of his knowledge as
of January 2014, with a focus on the continued existence of the Human
Species and hopefully, our transition into a peaceful and united humanity.
One World -- One Humanity.

This is an audio recording an interview, but Ken does most of the talking.
In it, he starts from the emergence of human life ~200,000 BC, and presents
the history of humanity up to the present from and Integral perspective.

He next summarizes both outer and inner knowing, and explains his
understanding of human enlightenment.

He discusses Evolution, the current State of Humanity, and towards the
middle of the talk, he begins his discussion of what some Buddhists are
calling the *The Fourth Turning*, and the important difference between *Growing
Up* and *Waking Up*.

Growing up is about the structure of consciousness. It is moving from
ego-centric to Cosmo-centric.

Waking up is about states of consciousness. It is awaking to Unity
consciousness -- sometimes called Christ consciousness or Buddha
consciousness -- being one with source -- being one with ALL --  being one
with all that is rising in consciousness -- being always connected to
I-amness.

Wilber argues that the next stage of human evolution which some Buddhists
are calling the Fourth Turning must include both *growth* and *development*
-- both *growing up* and *waking up* for both of these processes will be
necessary if humanity is to survive.

Towards the end of the second hour of the interview, he challenges those of
us who are grown up and wake, to now move toward helping our brothers and
sisters, who are still sleeping children, grow up and wake up. This will
require dealing with those individuals stuck in their ethnocentric
religions or controlled by coercive ethnocentric governments, who would
prefer that their subjects remain as sleeping children.

At this point in the interview, (~2:14:00) the interviewer decides to
lighten things up somewhat, so they begin discussing less cosmic issues.
One of his questions was: What kind of music does he like to listen to? ;>)

The entire recording is 2 hours and 43 minutes long, which at first blush,
may seem too long for most busy humans, but considering the quality and
quantity of material discussed in this lesson, after listening, you may
decide as I did, that it is really too short. ;>)

However, you may need to pause the recording occasionally to take breaks,
or divide it into several listening sessions.  You can also download the
recording all ready broken into 6 parts of ~28minutes each on this page

Namaste,

Timothy
