Thing is, in that book at least, both Treya and her husband had a very deep-seated desire for her TO be here and the book documents their very thorough search to find whatever treatment, attitude, lifestyle adjustment, diet, etc. would get her through it. Wilber also addresses the new-age tendency to blame the victim for the negative results of diseases, and well, he's spot on. Writing off someone who succumbs to disease as somehow "wanting" to be sick, or manifesting the disease themselves is a horrible way to look at it.
