We, as human machine hybrid civilisation (i) Bonnitta Roy), have the potential to configure in such ways that the forces stacked against the thrival (i) Jean Russel) of life on this planet are mitigated and a new era of co-operative fusion (i) Venessa Meimis) can begin. What does this look like in our minds, hearts and imaginations?
I want to keep this simple because the outline needs to be as clear as possible before the details will make any sense. At some point I will expand this into an essay and include all the usual research and reference expected from a serious academic proposal. I am also not adverse to collaborating in order to do so! (obviously something this ambitious will be a group effort So, broad brush strokes to get us oriented; Drawing a loose analogy for the benefit of contemplating developments in the structure of cyberspace, with a view to honoring the evolution of consciousness. Also [...]
What are the general principles underpinning the seemingly manifest phenomenal universe? What are the irreducible factors giving rise to the experience of being? What are the analogous terms in all disciplines which convey the irreducible aspects upon which manifestation depends? What is the technological underlying structure that will support the integral age?
Vision ; Expanding spiral matrix mapping to the ever complexifying toroidal flow of structured information – process of evolution of consciousness. The story I would like to see evolving as a collaborative effort of edgeworkers is about our communications interfaces – what do WE need, to be able to communicate in ways that facilitate the emergence of the higher WE – what current technology items work together well toward this end, and what do we need to create in order to enable more of this across the spectrum of interconnectivity… Here is some of the information I have gathered so [...]
An overview of the tools I am aware of so far: CoW Catalyst Map In 2000, the United Nations set eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be resolved by 2015. Since then, developments in wireless technology and online media have radically transformed how we work and create together, expanding our sense of possibility in the process. New social opportunities are emerging as distributed crowds harness the power of database clouds. The new online tools have accelerated the capacity of global publics to coordinate and act together, as recent protests about the world have demonstrated. This project proposes a Map Action [...]
Up until about now, it has been accepted practice to be identified with, and to exercise ownership over ideas. This habit is so ingrained in our human thinking that it is not often questioned. It seems however that a new era is upon us, a time of flourishing ideas which are emerging through multiple minds at once. The very idea that ideas themselves can have a life of their own, and that we thinkers are really more like information processing units which share the idea space could be considered novel indeed. There is a very good example of this concept being recognised and [...]
Consciousness is poised to undergo a meta-systems transition to a higher order holonic manifestation with self-awareness at it’s own level which may be beyond the grasp of the member/agents and even the social holons who’s interactions are the catalyst for this next level or order of manifest consciousness. We are stepping up to the responsibility of interacting in ways that make the next level of emergence of sentient holon a possibility. The evolutionary trajectory of sentience is giving rise to a higher order manifestation of sentient holon as something like a teliological attractor for evolution of civilisation, albeit that this is not [...]
come out, step out / into the sunlight be the flower’s bloom / the wind’s breath / among the leaves of spring be the gentle rain / upon the fertile earth / reflecting / like the moon my friend / embrace your life / and be lived / in the sunlight / surrender to rebirth with love /gd
Inspired by a recent conversation between Barbara Marx-Hubbard and Ken Wilbur I share this proposal with my fellows. We need a clarifying and guiding vision of potential future scenarios which have as their premise a positive, uplifting and inspiring prospect for humanity and the planet. I am calling for a collaborative effort to develop a field of endeavor to address this need. Proposal for collaborative action: Research and resource aspects of a coherent positive future vision for humanity and the planet. Authors: Bloggers: Visionaries: Philosophers: Activists: Develop the notion “Visions of the future as a “strange attractor” for the emerging, [...]
