Intro post - Phill

Vipassana meditator, shamanic training, group therapist, shadow worker, ex-scientist, former intellectual, new paradigm philosopher.

After the inner monologue stops, then comes the deconstruction of one’s understanding, and then the phenomenal journey of consciousness through successive stages of understanding.

So how to introduce the wisdom that comes of such a journey? More pertinent, how can such wisdom be applied to help effect cultural change? It must help progress collective understanding. Just like any learning process, experience comes first, then the intention to understand, and an emergent comprehension. It is no different with history; an unprecedented experience of each other, our interactions and emergent effects, extended over time. It is experience we have all lived through, that has left us all divided, partisan and of a plurality of partial understandings. What we lack is the emergent comprehension that brings coherence to our collective understanding.

That’s what a post-knowledge paradigm philosophy must achieve, starting with history, showing parallels with the history of science, and reasoning towards a coherent explanation.

That’s what I am working to achieve from outside all established intellectual paradigms; wisdom from experiential inquiry, a journey and retrospective understanding. It must speak to our collective historical experience, reading a middle way between concepts that divide contemporary culture, and bring about an emergent and collective comprehension.

I’m here looking for potential collaborators and people to share work with. I’ve much of the immersive work, but lack the networking and self-promotion skills to build connections.

Fascinating introduction Phill! That all sounds very relevant to Second Renaissance. I’m particularly interested myself in drawing parallels with the history of science in sketching the moving to a new social paradigm, that’s something I’m planning to do some writing on myself.

Would love to hear (read?) more about the immersive work you mention. Feel free to think of this as a place to practice your networking and self-promotion skills!

Networking is one of my core areas. I also have some skills in promotion - but I prefer to stand in support of other talents rather than being out front. I’m you’d care to reach out or post here more specifically about the opportunities you are seeking, I may be able to assist in some way.

Maybe you could start a new thread that goes into more detail about your approach? Are you doing some writing as part of your work that you’d be willing to share? Or trying to build an organisation?

Good idea. I’ll post something in the coming week
