Why It Is Important to Grow Up before Waking Up

Dr. Lynn Fuentes

We often toss aside personal growth in the rush to awaken spiritually. However, the latest iteration of adult developmental theory by Terri O’Fallon shows us that, as she puts it, “Growing up IS waking up.” Cognitive, moral, and ego development allows us to embrace more depth and complexity and thus enables us to “hold” greater spiritual experience, which may be disconcerting and even terrifying at lower levels of ego development.

No Boundary - Book Review

No Boundary, written in l979, is one of Ken Wilber’s first and most enduring works. In it, Ken looks at the way we close ourselves off from all of life and our own deep spirituality by drawing boundaries between self and environment, between mind and body, and between persona and shadow and discusses how we might reclaim these lost parts of ourselves to reveal our True Self. In addition to reviewing the book in detail, Lynn places it within the context of his other work.

Grace and Grit - Book Review

Grace and Grit is one of Wilber’s most beloved books. It tells the story of his life with his wife Treya who was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer shortly after their marriage. It weaves integral theory into their struggle to find a cure, relate to one another with depth and honesty, and live a deep spiritual life in the midst of a worsening situation.
