Where Christ observes that Sam Harris doesn't recognize his own perceptual grounding, and also doesn't recognize intersubjectivity.

Still, it is a worthy project by Sam Harris, in my own opinion, to have a contemplative science.  Even within the framework of the "monological vision", if this ends up with better reported data.

Here is some information on how assessment works, when dealing with a diverse set of interests.

Since I have a comment by a reader, in a previous post, I will go ahead and point to a new article up at What Enlightenment, by a major contributor (millions of dollars) to Andrew Cohen's work. 

She details out, from her perspective, the process that Cohen went through to secure a 2 million dollar donation from her. 

Now, individual posts like this, you have to be cautious of - but given that, in this post, she details some of her own personal issues honestly, as well as gets some corroboration from other NAMED individuals in the comments, the post is worth paying attention to.

I'm not sure what it will take for Integral Institute and Ken Wilber, to STOP giving any oxygen to this guy, but hopefully it will happen soon.  After a year of exposure, from various sources, it can't come soon enough.  (I vote, with my Sponsor Plus membership in Integral Institute, to drop this guy).  When will Ken wake up about this particular issue?  Anyone at I-I ever do a Q&A with Ken on this particular issue?

(Note - don't do a Q&A NOW - Ken's had a marvelous and inspiring recovery, as detailed in this blogpost, but at some point maybe someone can find out Ken's stance.)

And a much-needed break from this strange taskmaster called the "internet", or some such thing.

At any rate, you can now look forward to the resumption of normal programming.  From important evaluative tools for living a full life, to spiritual meditations, to video, to occasional philosophical forays into integral matters, and occasional social commentary, to my skewed sense of humor, to what Ken Wilber had for lunch (note: goat cheese), to what my good blog buddies are wanking on about. 

So, wishing everyone well in this new year.  In 2007, may we all be blessed, and may all manners of being be blessed, and may all beings awaken to the Truth.

Carry on!
