genuine insight offered

This is a brilliant analysis by Ken Wilber of a constant misunderstanding, prevalent in modern culture, as to what spiritual enlightenment actually is. In short, it's not a return to an infantile state of pre-lapsarian, innocent one-ness, but rather a state that arises (in my opinion, spontaneously and naturally, though Ken would probably disagree, given he kind of believes in a self-determining free will that I can't see the logic of and will write a post on sometime), after we have absorbed the process of ego-ic growth and have a full experience of its depth and breadth. The quote here deals with the misconstructions of the two great proponents of modern psychoanalysis, but the thinking is widespread, from New Age bell-tinklers to secular mindfulness faddists:

"The pre/trans fallacy actually formed one of the major fault lines between two of modern psychology’s greatest founders, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, both of whom stood on opposite sides of this fallacy—Freud would reduce spiritual states to a resurrection of infantile feelings, while Jung would elevate pre-rational mythology to trans-rational glory. The pre/trans fallacy allows us to put the pieces together into a more comprehensive whole, to liberate and integrate the genuine insight offered by these two pioneers, and to detangle their brilliance from the misunderstandings that were so rampant before this developmental view finally emerged."
