Preliminary notes of definition for myself: on reading Wilber's SES.

It is in reading the second chapter of Ken Wilber’s SES that I am beginning to define why the Biblical fundamentalists terrify me so much, and have for a very long time. They are of a pre-rational way of thinking whose inner dynamic prevents it from either acknowledging or absorbing any other possible way of thinking or being or perceiving a reality that contradicts it in the slightest.

They wish to confine me to a very small mind-box and remove my essential self, especially my ability to choose and to think. This is similar to what mom always tried to do with me, but more deep. Even if I wanted to, and I very much do not, I can’t devolve, regress, chop my arms and legs off and fit into the tiny little box.
