Psychosis and spirituality. Ken Wilbur talk:?

Question

I'm really interested in the overlap between Mystical/Transpersonal and personal egoic stuff.
I've just been listening to at this talk:

What do you think?

Answer 1

Thanks for alerting me to that, I plan to go back and watch the entire series...yes, that is good...they are right...true mystical communication with 'God' tends to make the person want to keep it private...but yes, it is real...and it is also almost impossible to describe...

Answer 2

PSYCHOSIS sounds like the work of the devil, especially if you allow the devil to take over your mind. This is a big no-no.

SPIRITUALITY is being sensitive to the things of God.

I don't see how these two things can be combined into something special?

The Bible has all the answers and is the only rulebook you need to live the good life. Anything else is new age and/or secular humanism.

Dear Heavenly Father, I confess that I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and need forgiveness. Thank you for sending your Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins, according to the Scriptures, and I thank you for raising Him from the dead. Today I ask Him to come into my heart to cleanse me from my sin and become my Lord and Savior. I give myself to you. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!

Answer 3

Ken Wilber believes in integral spirituality as long as it's practical and not doctrinal or dogmatic. Transpersonal psychology is why we are here, is it not? We all have to transcend something.
