From here to here in "3/5 of a mile in 10 seconds"

Pres. Obama's remarks inpraiseof teacher of the year and Dr. Height both were modern - emphasized individual goals for success in a pregiven culture/society. Postmodern values inderdependence/integral aware
postmodernism values interdependence with strong retention of unique individual creativity and innnovation. Integral coordinates them with love and care in the service of greater manifest love and light beyond categorization - the Blessed Brilliance of LoveLightLife!!

more jottings:

amber - central control "religionism" feudalism, statism (Communism, Fascism) -

orange - corporate homogenization and mergers countered by state power to regulate - glorification of the individual - rational planning valued but "liberty" valued more.

green - rational planning highly valued for the common good but not central control - decentralized networks with healthy neo-organic, interdependent - undervalued leadership and control agencies - ideally leadership and control agencies are near the Integral second tier teal.

green/teal can see the holons and understand the win-wins. and implement them through rational and trans-rational persuasion ?

observation of the day

These wacked-out far right paranoid militia groups saying socialist Obama is coming for their children (and their guns, of course) are at the warrior-ego-blood-ties-kin definitely ethnocentric-racist red level - wayyy down there - and then there are ambers and oranges expoiting their fears.

I have to confess I'm only 1/3 of the way through McIntosh's INTEGRAL CONSCIOUSNES; I'm slowly absorbing it. I'm also re-reading Ken Wilber's afterward "Postmetaphysics" in INTEGRAL SPIRITUALITY, after having heard it bandied around in an audio discussion yesterday. So stay tuned for better, clearer post, I hope - anyway - voila -

Postmodernism paints much on the monovisioned orange and amber levels as "phony" - ego roles that are unaware of deeper subjectivity and of intersubjectivity hardly at all - in other words, ego-trips parading as authentic people. Peoplke in linear roles - asleep. This goes back to the somewhat retro-romantic "infected" beginnings of the post-modern in the late forties and fifties with the beats, the drop-outs, the avant-garde artists and new leftists= the hi community in the late 60s - fully contextual - large minority attaining integral and above consciousness for peak periods many lasting for years due to a temporary supportive countercuture. There was a lot of "beat zen" and Alan Watts influenced flow/flex going with the flow


read Ken Wilber, "Integral Spirituality," esp. the afterward - re Beyond Metaphysics" & Steve McIntosh, "Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution."

subject object fuse transcend leave alone

Tripping or being high with someone whether through drugs (psychoactive, meaning thc or psychedelics) or just incorporating this new level or element into your space is intersubjective exchage. Objective reality (the objective half) still remains, but now one realizes that subjectivity is always a component. This is the postmodern advance. Becoming in thrall to subjectivity and denying objectivity (in the famous case of "The Secret" - "you create your reality" - is fallacious nd ultimately psychotic. But adding it and then snergyzing it with the objective while always being aware that there is but ONE reality is exilhirating and awakening, and you get a neo-objectivity, Big Mind which plays and displays both subjective and objective, as I said in a new Objective-PLUS, - that's Integral or approaching it. OR PERhaps just healthy postmodern.

More to come....
