| Wilbur favors a holistic approach to understanding religion and religious life. He theorizes that reductionism, which is used by Wilson, discounts religious experience or "supernatural" possibilities. Further explaining this point is Wilbur's concept of the "Third Eye". He explains that modern man is not trained in his third eye or spiritual sense. Since we are not trained in this aspect, we are therefore blind to spiritual things. People who are blind to the spiritual are going to create analytical systems that exclude or reduce away things extraneous to the physical/mental/biological. The fear of cheap reductionism. Wilbur supports his holistic approach by arguing religion must be reflected in the physco-emotional growth of groups and persons. |
