Robert Browning's "Fear Death?"

Ken Wilber is my favorite philosopher. He lives in Boulder, CO and is one of the smartest people on the planet. His work is deep and difficult to wade through sometimes. But this is the close to his book The Marriage of Sense and Soul, 1998. It's so beautiful and profound, I feel compelled to share it.

"Could we really speak of world peace without both of these freedoms [the temporal realm Enlightenment of the West and timeless realm Enlightenment of the East] made available to all? Could any of us be deeply happy without these freedoms shining from the faces of all of Spirit's children? Could any of us truly sleep at night without all souls being liberated in this vast expanse? Could we dare begin to pray for ourselves without praying for one and all? And could any of us be truly free until all beings without exception swim equally in this ocean of emancipation?

"And perhaps, political freedom joined with spiritual freedom, time joined with the timeless, space joined with infinity, we will come finally to rest, finally to peace, finally to a home that structures care into the Kosmos and compassion into the world, that touches each and every soul with grace and goodness and goodwill, and lights each being with a glory that never fades or falters. And we are called, you and I, by the voice of the Good, and the voice of the True, and the voice of the Beautiful, called exactly in those terms, to witness the liberation of all sentient beings without exception.

"And on the distant, silent, lost horizon, gentle as fog, quiet as tears, the voice continues to call."

...AUM...
