Please read this blog entry:

Here's what i just wrote to the I-I local staff:

i have seen Ken a few times this past week, the last time was saturday night.  Each visit had completely torn my heart out in a way i have never before felt, seeing Ken in the condition that he was in was honestly one of the most painful (yet luminous) experiences of my life.  Really feeling the bottomless depth of my love and respect for him was so completely overwhelming for me; as it still is.

May the boundless knowledge that time presents and space allows illuminate the native perspectives of your original face.

Sending lots of love to you, Ken.

"You've never seen everything." - Bruce Cockburn

Ken,

All of us in the San Diego Integral community send many blessings and love for a speedy recovery!

Can I send you a nightlight? :~)

Mark

In my experience/observation, so many high consciousness beings have so much difficulty with their physical experience. And yet I've seen time and time again how much grace with which they're able to deal with the maladies. Ken is certainly no exception to this. Can you believe he's smiling in those pictures? Thank you Ken for your shining, radiating example of beautiful Spirit. And thanks to all those who are showing him their compassion, both near and far.

Love,

Bryan

Holla at a Buddha if you see him in the street

Be well, my friend. 

Peace, blessings and a whole lot a love coming your way.

~ Michael

Here's wishing you the best, friend. Keep up the good spirits and the humour. Even in sickness, you remain a true inspiration.

With love and respect,
A

Dear All, Dear Ken,

My heart is torn by the news. By the pictures, my soul is weeping. But my Spirit is shining, not only because that's its job, but also because You reminded me of it. You gave me a permission to engage it back into my life with grace, intelligence and grit. Not being a dimwit, not being a cold-hearted rationalist, but a rational mystic. Thank you for letting me touch the contours of my original face. You are a precious jewel. We all are, and you show me how maps of impossible worlds are being made.

Thank you Corey for conveying the encouraging news. Integralschism is right in that with the "peak performers" of humanity, those rare souls brave enought to venture out to strange terrains, it sometimes seems like the world is out to get them. Bhagawan Shree Rajneesh (Osho), Ramana Maharshi, G.I. Gurdjieff all had shit happening to them. But they all survived. Some longer than others in the physical form, but in Spirit they all have and will shine forth. Ken Wilber has done so much to show us how important it is to strenghten our beings in body, mind, heart and spirit. For that alone I feel, and hope, and prey, that the unfolding of Spirit will become in all quadrants, levels, lines, states and types a more Beautiful, Happy and Wise event. Adventure is just beginning.

Strenght and Happiness be with you, Ken.

It's less and less about our reasons / It's more about who's in control (J Mascis)

Painfully Beautiful
One of us falls
We all feel hurt
We all get closer
We without a 'them'.

If we can ease this agony
By sharing it
I'll take a slice
Of such beautiful pain.


Whole lotta love,
Peter

PS: How's the bathroom door doing?

"All nations should be like Amsterdam" -- Ken Wilber

Thank you for the sharing of yourSelf in this moment and all before and all that will come.

My Heart is with you.

Sincerest gratitude and love,

Sue

And right there was everything I knew and I could not say what that was. - Natalie Goldberg

Ken,

The pictures are heartbreaking and heartwarming.  Thank you for sharing.  Please, take good care.  You truly are "buddha-full" and the world desperately needs your continued insight and compassion.

Peace, love and healing,

Chris

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it

Dear Ken,

Just as I am beginning to get used to the miraculous reality of the fact that you literally can become genuine friends with people all over the world through these Integral playgrounds you have set up for us, I am now astounded at the wonder of how I can feel as if my son, brother, mother or self was hurt very badly by reading some books and a blog and seeing a few pictures. Feel as if I'm gonna come over and beat up that bathroom door-(the LR socio-techno-economic piece of shit!)

Don't let the pain, at any moment, cause you miss the miracle of all of our collective love, support, healing wishes and gratitude for you; your life right now at this moment and always.

And as a teacher once said, don't let the grossness of the incident cause you to miss the miracle of it's healing. - and the miracle of the tears that are actually coming out of my eyes right now, while writing this . . . (There goes my masculinity. Leave me alone you fucker!)

Said a prayer to the Blesed Virgin Mother Mary for you, and will do so again, every day until you are well.

(And yeah, well, I suppose now I should continue to do that after as well, but who's keeping track?)

(I also send consoling waves to all those fashion photographers. The poor sacs.)

Love to you, who is Always Already and Always so much Love

Tim

"With whom or with what are you in communion at this moment?"
. . ."I?" he replied, almost mechanically. "Why not with anyone or anything."
"You must be a marvel . . . if you are able to continue in that state for long."
-Constantin Stanislavsky

speedy recovery ken!

i didn't know ken was sick..yesterday i glanced at 'stuff blog'  and read about ken's 'redd flare-up'

and speaking of the bathroom door?..she soo was holding it open this am during Uninmystico, whilst he "who adores her" was fixing it . at 7:54 i scribbled a few things which i think have something to do with this post....and one at 8:21 - "never seen anything like that" -

integralschism:

In my experience/observation, so many high consciousness beings have so much difficulty with their physical experience.

The Buddha was "beset by demons" when transcending the highest levels.  I have read that he described pain as if his bones were breaking.  Some believe this is what Jesus went through in his 40 days in the desert, only to emerge and have the crap kicked out of him before being tortured to death.

For Ken, Buddahood or Christ Consciousness must be just around the corner!

This is a rocky path, indeed.  I'm not anywhere near the level of a high consciousness being...so many shadows...and the pain here is deep enough to drown in at times.  I have to say, it really pisses me off, that damned First Noble Truth:  Suffering.  Fuck suffering!

How about a little tonglen for KW (even though he amazingly doesn't seem to be suffering in the face of all this pain)?

Love and Blessings and Peace to All.

Keith

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. -unknown
