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.

In an age of strong political commitments, a Nahuatl word encapsulates the freedom to let go of what has become oppressive.

I agree Colin…I’ve had a long wave
of experiencing Parents & Supposedly Adults not Modelling what a Adult is … A very Human
difficultly?
So that "In - Between, Parentless Space… has always
been my Labyrinth-Surfing Time of Opening to a Integral Sense of Time…
Reading & listening of these two pieces;
