This book details the vision of interspirituality within a comprehensive
and powerful synthesis of world religions and spirituality, the
discoveries of modern science, and the developmental and evolutionary
view of history. It is the first book to review and predict the ongoing
history of world religions and spirituality in the context of
developmental history, the evolutionary consciousness movement, and
current scientific understandings of anthropology, human cognitive
development, brain/mind and scientific consciousness studies.
This book addresses Brother WayneTeasdale's vision of "The
Interspiritual Age," a vision that parallels the equally well-known and
publicized visions of the world's developmental and evolutionary
consciousness movements (known therein as coming "Integral Age" or "Age
of Evolutionary Consciousness") and the international humanist movement
(known therein as the emerging "international Ethical Manifold"). As
such The Coming Interspiritual Age is the first synthesis of interfaith
and interspirituality with the popular writings of integral leaders Ken
Wilber and Don Beck.
The book includes provocative sections regarding the inherent unity
within the world's religious and spiritual understanding (especially
their shared mystical understandings), the relationship of these and
modern scientific studies of consciousness and brain/mind, the
developmental and evolutionary views of history, the inevitable ongoing
processes of world globalization and multiculturalism, the emergent
understanding of the Divine Feminine, the nature of spiritual experience
and the reputed spirit realms, and the various predictions around and
surrounding the year 2012. The book concludes with extensive "how-to"
sections regarding the development and practice of interspirituality as
it can happen both within the world's current religious traditions as
well as in new, creative and entrepreneurial settings worldwide.
