		<description>I&#039;m italian... my name&#039;s matteo... Iknow something about ken wilber and I always think what you say about him... Here ... in italy... a country in wich ego is holy like life (please don&#039;t think I&#039;m religious....

I want to remain a &quot;little devil&quot;... like I think...every animal in every species... Say to him... if you see the big ego-non ego ken, that depression bring to death.. isn&#039;t good for anything...man or animal ... he can try on his self... what bring to die... my dear ken... is always bad...        tnx for the space       </description>

		<description>Follow your intuition. 
 
My original feeling, from the first moment I discovered him, was the same.  And years later, after becoming familiar with his work and with the community that worships him, I still feel the same -- except I&#039;m even more convinced now. 
 
He plasters his face across every book and dvd package that he sells. 
 
He surrounds himself with people who worship him; if you stop praising him, you&#039;re out of the club. 
 
He has his own special integral jargon. 
 
Basically, he&#039;s just a guy with a bachelor&#039;s degree in science.  Yet he thinks he&#039;s above people with actual advanced degrees, he looks down on them and gives them a color. 
 
He calls himself a &quot;private person&quot;... just google him or search him YouTube to see if you think he&#039;s a private person. 
 
Most people in the integral community have seriously messed up lives / families, yet they think they are superior to people who don&#039;t buy into Wilber&#039;s view of reality. 
 
It&#039;s scary and dangerous, in my opinion. </description>

		<description>I think Ken Wilber is very arrogant, although he would tell me that&#039;s just my shadow talking. 
 
I&#039;m not the hugest fan of Eckhart Tolle, but I remember he wrote something like &quot;ego is attracted to ego&quot;, and I&#039;ve noticed that most of the people who are drawn to Ken Wilber are arrogant, and it&#039;s a delusional arrogance at that. 
 
They love to praise themselves by praising Ken. </description>

		<description>Annie is *not* expressing &quot;self pity&quot; but deep sorrow, depression and confusion. This is NOT a choice...these are neural pathways formed, more than likely, many years ago. I believe she needs a compassionate therapist to hold her in her pain and sorrow, not more condemnation from either Cohen or her own superego. 
 
Cohen says, &quot;Just make a choice and give it up.&quot; Jeez, wouldn&#039;t we all do this with our suffering if it were so easy in the way Cohen describes it. This man has as much compassion as a gnat...probably less. I&#039;ve heard other stories about this so-called guru and they are downright scary and mean. He&#039;s not practising just crazy wisdom...he&#039;s just crazy...a bit of a narcissist and bordering on sociopathic. 
 
Annie, I hope you find a loving being to help you.

		<description>I totally agree, Bob. Thank you for this enlightening post and very important message. I do wish Ken would stop hanging out with Cohen, a dangerous man indeed. I will say, however, that What is Enlightenment, now EnlightenNext, is a fabulous magazine. 
I *love* Ken and have been reading his works since 1985, attending iEvolve workshops and ISE, but I truly don&#039;t understand why he continues to associate with this egotist. </description>
