From: "Integral World" To: Subject: Exopolitics Date: zondag 9 december 2012 22:41 INTEGRAL WORLD MAILING LIST =========================== http://www.integralworld.net Newsletter Nr. 425 Amsterdam, December 9th, 2012 WELCOME TO EXOPOLITICS - Integral: Let’s Catch Up - GIORGIO PIACENZA Welcome to “Exopolitics-Integral.” Read Leslie Kean’s books. Search Michael Salla’s exopolitics.org site and open up your eyes to the reality of extraterrestrial contacts becoming undeniable day by day. Why aren’t “leading edge” “integral” thinkers jumping in to explore these issues of monumental consequence for the development of a more conscious humanity? The next level of intellectual and consciousness development in humanity is called "Integral" and I think that exopoliticians at the forefront of their own movement tend to be "green" or postmodern-pluralistic in their awareness, interpretations and views. Green, postmodern, pluralistic is just the previous stage but a subject as complex as "Exopolitics" needs an "Integral" approach. This goes beyond "holistic" and is about recognizing a pattern that connects all different aspects of a reality or object of study. I think that as exopoliticians we should catch up and be at the forefront of the exopolitical movement at the integral level. Ken Wilber's model (along with Edgar Morin's and other converging post postmodern ideologues) is part of the important "wave of the future" in understanding, cultural change and general spiritual growth.

All this, of course, is a classic, be it Integral, view of the organic evolution of Life-forms into greater awareness, which is the result of sentient individuals living incrementally more progressive (complex) lives that their progressive offspring, in turn, take incrementally further. This says a lot for the evolution of AQAL physical structures, but says little about the evolution of the individual awareness beyond the context of the single life of that individual. As a result of all this vagueness in trying to “explain” any purpose to this individual process, as a part of “explaining” evolution overall, is a problem that has existed for as long as evolutionary theory itself: Some “engine” of progress has to be invented that drives the whole thing along. Religions say it is a “God” etc; Philosophy says it is a “Primum Mobile” etc; Science says it is “Entropic” etc; the Arts say it is a microcosmic inspiration to emulate the macrocosm. In each case, there is a “Something” behind it all, some Kosmic Mystery - and no harm in that. Except that it leaves us none the wiser.
