Ken Wilber – Spirituality and the 3 Strands of Deep Science
PublishedJuly 9, 2010
The three strands of deep science—injunction, apprehension, confirmation—give us a reliable methodology for learning about both the world without and the world within. Want to know what the moons of Jupiter look like? Look through a telescope. Want to know what satori is? Sit down and count your breaths. While you’re at it, have a couple friends do the same thing, and then compare notes. After all, if your experience of satori involves becoming one with a jelly donut, you, um, might want to see if that happened to anyone else….
Deepak Chopra and Olivia Newton-John discuss how to apply the principles of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success into your daily life. These Seven Laws are the basis for all of the teachings at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. Video Rating: 4 / 5

@TheImpressionable Injunction: The act of enjoining; the act of directing, commanding, or prohibiting.
That which is enjoined; an order; a mandate; a decree; a command; a precept; a direction.
Keeping the validity of meditation as an injunction in mind, empiricists stick to the external senses because the exterior world is the most sturdy in proving things beyond anyone’s opinion. Whereas subjective (interior) experiences could be lies, or misinterpretations. The same reason anecdotes alone cannot hold up in court for convicting someone of, say, murder, is the same reason scientists don’t mess with the other side of the 4 quadrants.
@Bassmystic I agree with you, and my “opinion” has nothing to do with Ken Wilber (whom I do not know in any whatsoever way), it just shows that I am creating the causes for unhappiness by judging other beings like this.
@nielsjoklein, Many modern spiritual teachers recognize Wilber’s genius. If somebody can help Mooji, Pema Chodron, Jack Cornfield , Tolle, Genpo Roshi and all those wonderful teachers to be taking seriously by the Scientific Community is Ken Wilber, Before you make any other judgments you should check out what these very same teachers think about him, I think you will be surprised.
Spirituality may be engaged in many different ways, as Ken Wilbur says. I have a you tube channel that offers a creative way of attaining the spirituality within; type in the search box: stephengambello. Or click into my name. My channel offers a meditative, contemplative presentation of music and imagery by my spiritual teacher S Brian Adam. He creative offerings to the world are unique. Please let me know what you think. His work is for everyone.
what is the religion similar to this, its from an american man who talks about the universe or somthin and visits loads of countrys. like he did a speech in madrid and a spanish person translated it for him. any ideas??
You first must abandon material consciousness. Start with
selling your house and send the money from the sale to Dr. Wilbur. That way, you’ll be standing outside when it rains, and you will have bought that knowledge with however much you sold your house for. Yes, the same amount you sent to Dr. Wilbur!! Amazing!!
@georgesbataille
elaborate.
Check my channel for a newly uploaded film, Science and Spirituality, based on Gopi Krishna’s last book, The Way to Self-Knowledge. Thanks.
This needs to be applied to Law.
“Mistaken are the folk who think
That science and technology
Have come to make the earth a rink
For acrobatic skaters free.
In truth these are beginnings made
To bring about a change profound
In human life and thought to upgrade
The brain and lift to higher ground
Above the fear of famine, drought
Disease, want, flood and drudgery
So that to win the trophy sought
We would be relatively free.”

Very true words!
injunction? you mean observation?
Wilber is a fraud
Wilber is a fraud
Wilber is a fraud. His obfuscation only fools the weak minded who cannot penetrate his misleading non-sense.
Take a look at two tedx conejo videos of Mark Waldman, showing how spiritual practices change? the brain in positive ways. Inspiring!

“Spirituality: The last refuge of a failed human. Just another way of distracting yourself from who you really are.”
What do you mean by kindness and arrogance?
Makes sense.
Wilber gives me a headache, but what he says is clear and logic.
