I often refer to Jiddu Krishnamurti, who has the most concise set of logical thinking on the subject of religion.  This quote is one of many of his that covers religion, specifically in the country he was born in with over 400 religions, India. My only concern was the observation Jiddu Krishnamurti made. I'll quote him and ask the obvious question, Jeff.

“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent.   Do you see why it is violent?   Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind.   When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.   So ...[anyone]... who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; ...[they are]…concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”    ~  Jiddu Krishnamurti  ~ 1895 - 1986

The keywords 'concerned with the total understanding of mankind' For me that has always been the worldview of anyone who understands AQAL and the altitudes possible for our species.

Why isn't it an act of violence 'Practicing the Religion of Tomorrow'?

I have listed to Ken on the Religion of Tomorrow, I understand the take on it. It's just the branding it carries doesn't read as integral thinking. Which is a clever hook that applies on many levels.

Ken Wilber on Practicing the Religion of Tomorrow

I am an integralist, an evolutionary and a commentator who is heartened by the state and future of things - yes, even with Trump. I believe life is animated by the power of evolution and we are riding a geyser of emergence toward a sacred world.

In this podcast I look at emerging trends in politics, economics, science, spirituality, and entertainment, all with an eye toward spotting the upflow of human consciousness and culture.
