[Dialogue] Wilber

[Darrell Walker]

  Darrel, I did a double-take on your saying JWM was a revolutionary mystic. Beware, he may hunt you down.

      God, what a terrifying thought!
      Actually, I heard a tape of Marcus Borg's talk that he gave to the Progressive Christians Uniting in Pasadena recently, and at the end of his talk he used two terms--ecstatic mysticism and non-ecstatic mysticism.  He didn't expand on them much but inferred the latter to be a base that empowers us to combat injustice (or some such).  I'm not sure what Borg means by the terms, but somehow non-ecstatic mystic seems to describe JWM for me.  
      Something to think about in reflecting on Matthews.
          Darrell
