Integral consciousness feels something like *expansion* or *inflation*. You identify not with any single worldview, but with a bigger space within which multiple worldviews are arising and available. And that space (you) is loving and intelligent.

@CrayTwee Doesn’t really fit the “waking” pattern (dang) but I’d say integral consciousness feels something like *expansion* or *inflation*. You identify not with any single worldview, but with the space within which worldviews are arising. And that space (you) is loving and intelligent.

@DavidJSimpson52 Yes, David, I think new stages are experienced that way by the person who is growing, but not by the people who they are leaving behind. They see the new stage as “fallen” (from God, from reason etc.)

@leonardomwilson Not familiar with “reconstructive” approach to modernity, but I see it as the collective version of a child growing up. We want to be obedient and good, then free and self-directed. Why? The miracle of consciousness evolution. Is “it’s a miracle” an “explanation”? 🤔

Nobody is “happy” when their enemies win some, but after millennia of winner-takes-all, modern political systems moved us forward. Power separated is power multiplied. 2/2

If you could wave a magic wand and get your way then “you might be a fascist”. Most of us would. Miraculously, a couple hundred years ago humanity developed political systems that include and transcend dueling worldviews. 1/2

Jeff Salzman retweeted: Cultivating the further evolution of consciousness and culture is humanity’s transcendent purpose. As eminent polymath Michael Polanyi wrote, “The theory of evolution finally bursts through the bounds of natural science and becomes entirely an affirmation of man’s ultimate aims.”

Jeff Salzman retweeted: As Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote: “The Universal and personal grow in the same direction and culminate simultaneously in each other.” Each life expresses this principle through its microcosmic, self-similar enactment of the entire process of the evolving universe as a whole.

Every new stage of consciousness / culture is experienced as rising from a slumber into actual reality: the “awakenings” of traditional religions, the modern “enlightenment”, postmodern “woke”.
