Thoughts on living in the Age of Integration

The mental-rational stage seeks survival through control.
The diaphanous stage stabilizes through participation.

Control organizes against threat.
Participation aligns with process.

Control is defensive intelligence.
Participation is integrative intelligence.

We could not move toward participation without first building control capacity.

And now, when enough individuals adopt this approach,

“I can survive without projecting authority.”

And it stabilizes internally,
systems built solely on projection begin to destabilize externally.

That’s not ideology.

That’s correspondence.

We’re not attacking rationality.

We’re witnessing its developmental ceiling.

And limiting ceilings only become real to us once we’ve grown tall enough to hit them.

That’s where we are at Cosmos.

And that’s where culture is approaching.

Not destruction.

Transition.

This piece seems to be Important Aspect of Integration if we are
to bring the Future into the Present, since it seems to Be a Real
Big Aspect of the Chaotic Initiation of Surfing the Spiral!?!?


Also this goes with U Colin​:thinking:?

“When we are truly present, the barrier between inner and outer begins to dissolve. Each time we perceive the spiral, how it unfolds in creation, we come to know it more intimately, and it comes to know us in return.”
