The Religion of Tomorrow

"A single purpose lies at the heart of all the great religious traditions: awakening to the astonishing reality of the true nature of ourselves and the universe. At the same time, through centuries of cultural accretion and focus on myth and ritual as ends in themselves, this core insight has become obscured."

"For the great religious traditions to attract modern men and women, Ken Wilber asserts, they must incorporate the extraordinary number of scientific truths learned about human nature in just the past hundred years—for example, about the mind and brain, emotions, and the growth of consciousness—that the ancients were simply unaware of and thus were unable to include in their meditative systems."

Integral+Life offers an online course, The Religion of Tomorrow, for paid members, based on Ken Wilber's 2017 book, The Religion of Tomorrow: A Vision for the Future of the Great Traditions - More Inclusive, More Comprehensive, More Complete. It "lays out the path that incorporates both Waking Up (meditative states) and Growing Up (human developmental stages), as well as Cleaning Up (shadow work) and Showing Up (working with quadrants), and explores how we can practice the religion of tomorrow today, expanding our potential for growth and realization." The course is broken down into seven lessons in 16 different teaching modules.

Lesson 1: What Is a Religion of Tomorrow? Human consciousness transforms by Waking Up and Growing Up.

Lesson 2: Spiritual Intelligence and the Stages of Development. There are around a dozen multiple intelligences (lines of development) that all human beings possess.

Lesson 3: Cleaning Up - the nature of the psychodynamic unconscious (repression and shadow) and the various approaches or therapies to address and even heal those dysfunctions.

Lesson 4: Working with Shadow - transcending or including

Lesson 5: Full-Spectrum Mindfulness - making subjects objects through Integral meditation

Lesson 6: Integral Tantra - connecting to Big Love and Big Bliss (the profound culmination of the defining drive of evolution itself: to transcend and include)

Lesson 7: Showing Up - the view from within matter - fully acknowledging, and totally inhabiting, all four quadrants of existence

The religion of tomorrow for younger generations will be very different from past models and practices, as religion adopts an integral, evolutionary worldview and is brought into conformance with science... redefining religion as an "energy of the future."
