A Sociable God

Ken Wilber presents a framework for evaluating religious movements through his "spectrum of consciousness" theory, which categorizes worldviews from egocentric to Kosmic. This integral approach aims to discern authentic spiritual paths from potentially harmful cults by examining individual and cultural development as an evolutionary continuum. Wilber emphasizes the importance of these distinctions for comprehending spiritual experiences and altered states of consciousness, offering a method for making informed judgments about various cultural and religious practices.
