Emergence, the Third Attractor, and the Presence of the Future

Note: I wrote this introductory piece in the days leading up to the Emerge Gathering in Austin, Texas. Daniel Schmachtenberger proposed framing the conference around the question of a “third attractor,” while Jeremy Lent clarified this attractor involves the creation of an ecological civilization. My readers might appreciate some of the themes cohering below. This…

A Gebserian Note on the Word “Map”

There’s a diminutive, crumpled-in-the-back-pocket, food stained and salt sprayed sensual richness to this word’s history that intuitively feels of some import to us.

Notes on Designing Aperspectival Containers

This piece is an interesting permaculture/regenerative take on the 1969 Eames “Design Diagram.” I was initially struck by how it resembles the Calabi-Yau manifold I often use to illustrate the relational wholeness of Jean Gebser’s consciousness structures (archaic through integral). Many of us in the Mutations community are, in some way, working with design. We’re…

Notes in Transit

En route from New York to Tampa Bay. It was great to (finally) reconnect with my family and friends after 1.5 years of lockdown. A homecoming! New York has changed, and hasn’t. The same, but different; intermingling melancholy and triumph. Refitted subways. Towering cyberpunk architecture completed during lockdown’s interlude. Masks and sanitizer kiosks and outdoor…

Appearances: Recent, Rumored and Forthcoming

2021 has kept me busy! I’m sharing a brief note about recent appearances and what’s coming next. First: high weirdness. Artist, musician, filmmaker, podcast host and longtime integralist Stuart Davis had me on his show, Aliens and Artists for a proper metaphysical conversation on non-human intelligences. I guess I’m coming out of my weird closet….

Integral as Participatory and Phenomenological

I’m listening to Daniel Thorson’s conversation with Zak Stein today and feeling deeply receptive to it. Zak’s mention of McLuhan was particularly revelatory. It made me think of the loss/gain character of any new medium. New media extend us, but they also cut us off—like the car replacing the foot. Social media extends communication, but…

On Superordinate Goals and the Integral World

Recently I was asked by a reader and colleague to comment on a letter written by Dr. Don Beck, “Looking Beyond the Midterm Elections In Quest for Humanity’s Master Code.” It was written in 2018, and now, halfway through 2020, it holds a certain prescience worth commenting on and responding to at some length. Dr….

Talking Temporics, Gebser on Integral Life

As Gebser says, timing is knowing when to make happen and when to let happen.

Integral Imprint: Books that open the future
“Becoming Gaia is a path-breaking book. Drawing together a wide range of creative thought, Sean Kelly offers an engaging vision of an integral ecology for our times. There are few books as comprehensive in reach or compelling in insight. I trust it will inspire reflection and transformation for our urgent task — becoming part of the living Earth community.”
-Mary Evelyn Tucker, Yale University, co-author, Journey of the Universe

Coming home to books is one of the best feelings!

Both feature @jdj_writes - one as the author, the other as the editor. Might not get to them for a couple weeks/months, but can't wait to dive in. Thanks @revelorepress they look great! pic.twitter.com/xPAmYSBiUM
