Podcast 1157: Finding Radical Wholeness with Ken Wilber

Inside Personal Growth with Greg Voisen

In this podcast, Ken Wilber dives deep into the perpetual human quest for growth and fulfillment, highlighting how it’s often incomplete. He integrates wisdom from spirituality, psychology, shadow work, science, and his groundbreaking integral theory to guide us toward a more radical and complete sense of wholeness. Wilber outlines a transformative path through five key dimensions: Waking Up, Growing Up, Opening Up, Cleaning Up, and Showing Up. He explains how integral theory can be applied to everyday life for personal transformation, with practical examples like the Four Quadrants—offering four perspectives on how we view the world—helping us show up more fully and present in our lives. Wilber also discusses how we can evolve our multiple intelligences, deepen our spiritual awareness, uncover hidden aspects of our consciousness, and heighten the experience of bliss and love through practices such as integral tantric sex. Throughout the podcast, he introduces various tools and practices, such as the Witness, One Taste, and shadow work, that provide direct experiences leading to profound personal integration. With these, we can move toward true wholeness and make room for all that life brings.
