Arvan Harvat in "The Atman Fiasco" writes:

"Weakness of this argument lies in the very contradiction 
enshrined in Wilber's central dogma: he equates supreme 
enlightenment ( described mainly in Ch'an/Zen and Advaita 
Vedanta terms ) with supreme creativity. . . ." 

"The problem is that the supreme enlightened ( so far we 
can ascertain ) are *not* very creative, let alone dwelling 
on the summit of such activity. On the contrary, one 
might cynically observe that trademarks of vita unitiva/sahaja samadhi/baqa,

judging from lives of Ramana Maharshi, legendary Bodhidharma or Suso are
lethargy, apathy or asocial quietism."
