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.<br><br>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. <br><br>He next summarizes both outer and inner knowing, and explains his understanding of human enlightenment. <br><br>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 <i><b>The Fourth Turning</b></i>, and the important difference between <i><b>Growing Up</b></i> and <i><b>Waking Up</b></i>. <br><br>Growing up is about the structure of consciousness. It is moving from ego-centric to Cosmo-centric. <br><br>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.<br><br>Wilber argues that the next stage of human evolution which some Buddhists are calling the Fourth Turning must include both <b>growth</b> and <b>development</b> -- both <b>growing up</b> and <b>waking up</b> for both of these processes will be necessary if humanity is to survive.<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">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.<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">At this point in the interview, </span><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">(~2:14:00)</span> 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? ;>)<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><br>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. ;>)<br><br>However, you may need to pause the recording occasionally to take breaks, or divide it into several listening sessions.
