Hullo Erin,
I was disappointed with your cursory and quite superficial 'commentary' on
my post in which I quoted Wilber to illuminate my concerns with Jung and
Campbell.
Your first sentence was "Okay I admit that I have only read 1 Wilber book
and he is on my list to read but I just want to comment on his ideas (excuse
me if I misinterpreted them)." I have no problem with fair comment, but
what you offer went far beyond that. It was a prejudiced mockery of an
author who deserves better.
For example, your sarcastic comment "oh so Wilber thinks he is myth free.
Wow I should make him my moral authority (ha ha)." followed a quotation of
my words, not Wilber's, as a careful reading of the original post would have
made clear. What is more puzzling to me is that neither in what I said or in
what I quoted of Wilber is there any statement that Wilber thinks he is myth
free. This is simply your invention.
You also say "I know there is a deep horror of the green meme", and refer
again to this later. I challenge you on your use of the word "know" here.
You admit to reading only one book of Wilber's. You completely distort what
he has to say. Then you claim to "know" his "deep horror" of the green meme,
which any fair reading of Wilber would find laughable.
What seems to drive your pique, so far as I can tell, is that Wilber, and I,
have some uncomplimentary things to say about postmodernism, (as well as
accepting much that is valid in it). If that is your issue, come out and say
so, and put your case in reply.
