Love your thoughts, just what is needed right now. Also thanks for referencing my friend David Farrier on webworm, a few weeks back. Also a insightful look at culture, he’s just looked at the disturbing power of AI images again today

For me, the on going conversation your writing helps facilitate is an important contribution to the process of awakening out of the zombie dream we find ourselves in. I look forward to seeing a curated collection of your essays.

I have noticed a common thought arising in a wide variety of conversations, from the psychedelic, to the spiritual, to the environmental, as well as the psychotherapeutic community. The thought being voiced is that while individual trauma recovery is important, it is veering into hyper-individuality and narcissism that is only contributing to the over all problems of the planet. It’s time to dedicate our awaking to the collective (consciousness). People like Aaron Aronovich expresses this idea clearly. Also Joshua Schrei comes to mind.

I was talking to a dear friend who is deep into his personal trauma story he is also familiar with Integral Map. When I suggested the idea that self reflection has run it’s course and that perhaps we are seeing a significant move beyond the Green level of development. Away from the Mean Green Meme that demands recognition of our unique individual stories to a more universal human story. My friend actually looked relieved that his personal work was not necessarily an individual burden. With a little distance from his personal difficulties he could better see the whole human experiment like a teenager individuating from the family, being self absorbed and hating the family, then later loving the family deeply. We can only hope!!
