Current Reading

Yesterday I started reading Integral Vision by Ken Wilber. This book is a cliffnotes version of Wilber’s previous work. At first glance I was not going to purchase this book because of it being a rehashing of Wilber’s past work. The only reason I bought the book was to support the featured artist and graphic designer of the book. I know none of them personally but I feel a kinship with them through their blogs, writing and art works. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in discovering what integral theory is and how to apply it. I would additionally suggest to Wilber fans to use this book as a reference guide in your own integral practice.

In conclusion this book is concise, easy to read, well thought out and visually stimulating.

Review - 1-2-3 of God

I just finished listening to the 1-2-3- of God by Ken Wilber. It is an interesting listen especially if you read Integral Spiritually by Wilber. The audio book is a conversation between Wilber and Tami Simon, founder of Sounds True audio publications. The dialogue gives you a perspective of the 1-2-3 process and an overview of Integral Spiritually. If you read Integral Spiritually and found it too academic this is a good second chance to grasp the information provided. If you enjoyed Integral Spiritually but need a more experiential understanding of the 1-2-3 perspective then disc 4 is for you. It is guided mediations of the 1-2-3 process by Diane Musho Hamilton. If you're a long time reader of Wilber's work then there really is nothing new here, however the questions asked by Tami Simon can shed some light on confusing issues that you may have after reading Integral Spiritually. I was lucky enough to find a copy at my local library.

Far From Home – by Jeremy Willet

Far From Home – A Band, Its Story, Hope For Africa by Jeremy Willet

This book is the “it” that we are all searching for. The “it” that is the turning point in our lives. If you are a reader of this blog then you understand my ideology on conscious economics and living with a purpose. If you can provide for your family by doing what you love and if you can help to create a better world at the same time, what could be better? For motivation, a kick in the butt, a little humor and for the gospel of truth about what is happening in Africa today, read this book. Far From Home – A Band, Its Story, Hope For Africa by Jeremy Willet

Jeremy Willet writes, “If WILLET as a band exists solely for the purpose of sponsoring children in Africa, then our efforts are 100% worth it”.

Upon my fist reading of this book I jotted down these words: raw meditative read that invites the reader to think outside the comfortable scope of their daily life. A book that should be recommended reading for any high school or college student who is searching for a purpose in life; a book that includes humor, life on the road, music and Africa.

Jeremy Willet is the lead singer of WILLET and the author of Far From Home. Jeremy is on a mission. The mission OPERATION 400, The GOAL 400 children sponsored in Africa. To learn additional information about Jeremy, WILLET and OPERATION 400 click here.
