there is not enough of English or any other language that has adequate words to express my gratitude to Ken who gave me both a vision for life through his Integral Vision made clear by his skill of a unique people’s philosopher, and at the same time an acceptance of frailty and death through his relationship with Treya and his own personal struggle with illness.

Dear Ken,
I read A Brief History of Everything nearly 10 years ago. Since that time I have been reading or listening to your books, talks, and programs (Like SHOS) or books you have recommended as well as implementing Integral Life Practices in my life. The map of the Kosmos that you have laid out has helped me understand things I’ve been struggling to understand since childhood. You have helped me on my journey and I thank you with all my heart for being my teacher. For helping me wake up.
Deepest gratitude,
Carlo Sanfilippo

Ken’s work has both given me a context and helped to catalyze my own awakening. What I have seen in my deepest moments is that human consciousness will be all-connected, like a singularity. I envision it as a single organism comprised of patterns (that are us) that self-organize into a non-material whole. It strikes me as the same thing when Ken says that the universe is becoming aware of itself for the first time. I believe that what Ray Kurzweil is mapping with the ‘technological singularity’ is actually a quantum material reflection of the deeper non-material singularity of consciousness that is unfolding before us, and it feels to me like all of us are passengers, participants and pilots to this magnificent change. I have heard Ken talk about 10% – that when a threshold of 10% of people start understanding something in their consciousness, then the understanding begins to accelerate and spread, presumably through the non-locality of consciousness (which incidentally has become obvious to me). I don’t know where Ken gets this 10% concept, but I know he doesn’t make shit up. [Read more…]

You helped me find the light, when I was in darkness and crisis!

With profound and heartfelt gratitude.

Ken, I ran into “The brief history of everything” in a Budapest bookstore about 10 years ago. It changed my perspective of the world and your work has continued to shape my “history” – my life and my work and everything. I am deeply grateful.

Thank you Ken, for stitching it all together with humor and grace.

Thank you Ken!

Thank you.

Deep bows of gratitude to the biggest mind and heart I know. Just beginning to unpack your understanding of the Kosmos. I am a better human because of it. With Love, MJF
