| "A Suicide Dictionary by a man named Lonely? What’s going on here? In my opinion, it’s a new genre of literature: an integral interweaving of the premodern wisdom of the past with the postmodern insights of the present, a skillful and intriguing inquiry into not only a lexicon of words but the essence of all the world’s religions interspersed with modern characters trying to make sense of it all. And the best way to do that is to integrate! Integrate! But not just with an intellectual mish- mash of eclecticism, but with a depth that illuminates. This is what, I believe, you’ll find on the pages of this dictionary, one that shows you a light out of nihilistic suicide and loneliness into the widening embrace of relationship and integralism. Let the words and ideas on these pages connect your synapses in ways that you never perceived of before while reading this integral text of sparkling gems meant for contemplation. It will make you want to live again – but this time, integrally!" --Brad Reynolds, author of Embracing Reality: The Integral Vision of Ken Wilber (2004, Tarcher/Penguin) and Where’s Wilber At? Ken Wilber’s Integral Vision in the New Millennium (2006, Paragon House) |
