Arvan Harvat in "The Atman Fiasco" writes in part:

"The Atman Project"( 1 ) is the central Wilber's 
book, the fount ( with the possible exception of "The Spectrum 
of Consciousness" ) of all his later speculations 
which try to dovetail all and everything, from biological 
evolution ( only sketched ) to socio-cultural models 
and spiritual Weltanschauungen into a single, all- encompassing 
pattern. . . . 

A devil's advocate might argue something like this: 
What use would be of Shakespeare had he devoted himself to contemplative
instead of creative life ? Or of Caesar, 
who by his military and political exploits had enabled Virgil's, Horatio's
and Epictetus's works to flourish and survive. 
It implies that Mozart was of necessity a composer, or 
Leonardo a painter/scientist/engineer. . . .
