  • Big History in Its Cosmic Context
    Big History in its Cosmic Context Joseph Voros Swinburne Business School Faculty of Business and Law Swinburne University of Technology Abstract Current models of Big History customarily take the observed increases over cosmic time of material-energetic complexity as their central concept. In this paper, we use Erich Jantsch’s pioneering masterwork The Self- Organizing Universe as the primary perspective from which to extend the customary ‘increasing material- energetic complexity’ view of Big History in two principal ‘directions’. Firstly, outwards, with an emphasis on increasing scale, scope and context to consider whether non-terrestrial analogues of Big History might exist or have existed elsewhere, and thus to embrace the ‘sibling’ multidisciplinary fields of SETI (the search for extra- terrestrial intelligence), Astrobiology, and ‘Cosmic Evolution’. And secondly, inwards, with a focus on (human) consciousness and the increasing complexity of human cognitive experience (‘interiority’) that has been apparent over the time-frame we have been able to observe it. Since Big History is a narrative which necessarily includes our own awakening to conscious awareness—and the felt sense of ‘meaning’ which our interiority brings with it—it would be valuable to examine related models which might also allow for an integration or unification of the two perspectives of physical-objective material-energetic complexity, on the one hand, and the complexity of subjective-conscious interiority, on the other. This is important, because it might provide a pathway that could help resolve recent debates around whether, and if so where, ‘meaning’ might reside in Big History. Current models do not tend to have a clear way to do this, so a particular integrative framework is introduced and outlined—due to the philosopher of consciousness Ken Wilber—which seeks to unify the customary complexity of matter-energy view of Big History with a ‘complexity of consciousness’ view, and which thereby suggests a very natural way to resolve the question of meaning ‘in’ Big History.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction Consider that the [conflict] in which you find yourself is not the inconve- nient result of the existence of an opposing view but the expression of your own incompleteness taken as completeness; value the [conflict], miserable though it might feel, as an opportunity to live out your own multiplicity.1 “What!?” you may be saying to yourself, “I just paid good money for this book and you’re telling me to value my conflicts!? I’m trying to get rid of them, for crying out loud! This world has too damn many conflicts! What kind of nuts are you, anyway?” We will tell you, dear reader, that if you suspend your incredulity for the time that it takes to actually make your way through this book, you will find your thinking transformed about conflict. A brash and bold pronouncement, perhaps, but having seen how an All Quadrant All Level (AQAL)2 approach to conflict has transformed our own lives and work, we are confident that, at the very least, you will come away with a different understanding of conflict, and maybe even of yourself in conflict as well. A different understanding leads to a different response, and a different response can open the door to more and different possibilities, and more possibilities can include the recognition of our own evolving selves. That recognition alone—of our own evolving selves—opens up untold possibilities for understanding, engaging, and, yes, valuing conflict for its transformational potential. This book is our best effort at showing how. The two of us, Nancy and Richard, have been working together for many years—teaching, writing, and researching an AQAL approach to conflict.

  • The Creative Cosmos: a Personal Journey of Discovery
    Network Review Summer 2009 21 articles The Creative Cosmos: A Personal Journey of Discovery Dr Erland Lagerroth Contemplating great works of fiction I found that the important points of view to apply were (inter)relation, wholeness, process, function, system – looking at the work not as a static phenomenon but as a dynamic process. At the same time an alternative science found the same for the world we live in. With interests on both sides I was more than happy to try to develop both these two fields. A Self-organising Universe of system or structure is a universal form of existence, but n my doctoral dissertation of 1958, Landscape and nobody seems to have understood it before Prigogine. Nature in (Selma Lagerlöf’s) Gösta Berling’s saga and What was wrong with materialism was not that it was a INils Holgersson I showed how parts of a literary work doctrine concerning matter but that it didn’t understand always have to be looked upon as interrelated, in my case matter. For what can be more obvious than the fact that the interrelations of landscape and nature to human beings and events – both epic relations on the causal level and nature organises itself. In the light of this we need to abandon lyrical relations on the level of similarities and contrasts. the idea of God as engineer and mechanic and understand Over the subsequent 50 years of professional life I have that man certainly does not arrange whirlpools in water and sought to reconcile the outlook of a literary humanist with air and other such phenomena.

  • Excerpt A: an Integral Age at the Leading Edge
    Excerpt A: An Integral Age at the Leading Edge Introduction Let us begin this overview by first noting what appears to be a rather dismal fact: today we hear a lot about Cultural Creatives and the new and exciting rise of an Integral Culture—a holistic, balanced, inclusive, caring culture that moves beyond the traditional and the modern and into a postmodern transformation. But, in fact, significant psychological evidence indicates that in today’s world, less than 2% of the population is at anything that could be called an “integral” wave of awareness (where “integral” means something like Gebser’s integral-aperspectival, Loevinger’s autonomous and integrated stages, Spiral Dynamics’ yellow and turquoise memes, Wade’s authentic, Arlin’s postformal, the centauric self and mature vision-logic, etc.). The same evidence suggests, however, that a very large percentage of the population— close to 25%—is at the immediately preceding wave of development (which is Loevinger’s individualistic stage, Spiral Dynamics’ green meme, Paul Ray’s cultural creatives, Wade’s affiliative, Sinnott’s relativistic, etc.). Moreover, because most of this population has been at the green-meme wave for several decades, it appears that a large portion—perhaps up to one-third— are ready to move forward to the next wave of expanding consciousness—which means, move forward to a truly integral wave of awareness. In other words, that modest 2% of the population that is now integral might soon swell to 5%, 10%, or more. I believe that, as with any evolutionary unfolding, we will especially start to see evidence of this increasingly integral consciousness at the growing tip, or at the leading edge, or in the avant garde (by whatever appellation)—in academia, the arts, social movements, Copyright © 2006 Ken Wilber.

  • Catalyzing and Measuring the New Human: the New Human University, Homeostatic Hierarchical Integration and Developmental Electroencephalography
    Roman Angerer M.A., Alison Ooms M.A., Dr. Michael Cotton, & Steven Giron Ph.D. Catalyzing and Measuring the New Human: The New Human University, Homeostatic Hierarchical Integration and Developmental Electroencephalography Abstract: This article is compartmentalized into three main sections. An introductory chapter at first presents critical concerns about measurement and afterwards invites the reader to become acquainted with the New Human University. The New Human University is a newly found integrally oriented educational institution and community applying advanced meta-modern curricula and practices developed by Dr. Michael Cotton and his colleagues. This section is followed by a theoretical overview of a model based on both Hierarchical Complexity and Ego-Development theory. The ontogeny and the taxonomy of this model are presented and extensively and exemplarily applied to different contexts. This is meant to allow a transparent and complete understanding of the so-called Model of Homeostatic Hierarchical Integration through Communicative Action. The third and final part is an application of Homeostatic Hi- erarchical Integration towards the Washington University Sentence Completion test originally developed by Jane Loevinger and Ruth Wessler in the 1970s. By this a New Human Inventory was developed and statistically tested for internal consistency. This, too, served to theoretical- ly expand the practice of assessing Centers of Gravity through Total Protocol Ratings with a sentence completion test. This practical section is concluded by a Quantitative Electroenceph- alographic study informed and guided by the developmental assessments of students at the New Human University. This section comprises then a discussion of findings at the Gamma- band brainwave spectrum and an outlook into future directions of research and catalyzing human and societal evolution.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • The Blind Elephant: a Reply to Claudio Gnoli's Comments [PDF]
    First release: January 31, 2014 Updated version: February 10, 2014 --- WORKING NOTES --- The Blind Elephant. A Reply to Claudio Gnoli’s Comments Michael Kleineberg Humboldt University Berlin School of Library and Information Science (Germany) <[email protected]> I am very pleased that my paper The Blind Men and the Elephant (Kleineberg 2013a) has found such a friendly response, and I would like to take the opportunity to discuss some of Claudio Gnoli’s (2013) comments in more detail.1 In these continuing working notes, my focus will be on three main issues, namely, on the concept of phenomenon (1), on modeling levels of being (2), and on the relevance of levels of knowing for knowledge organization (3). Furthermore, I will present a selected bibliography on the proposed concept of Integrative Levels of Knowing (ILK) (4), which might hopefully inspire some further discussion. (1) What is a phenomenon? Information Coding Classification First of all, I have to thank Gnoli for the clarification that Dahlberg’s Information Coding Classification (ICC) is neither directly influenced by the Classification Research Group nor a genuine phenomena- based knowledge organization system (KOS) since it uses rather subject fields as basic units. The reason why I have subsumed the ICC as a phenomena-based KOS (in opposition to a discipline-based KOS) is because its subject fields appear merely as a secondary derivation from the combination of nine levels of being and nine general form categories, whereas the former are derived primarily from “objects of being” (Dahlberg 2008, 163)—a concept commonly referred to as phenomena.

  • AN INTEGRAL THEORY of CONSCIOUSNESS Ken Wilber, 6183 Red Hill Rd., Boulder, CO 80302, USA
    Journal of Consciousness Studies, 4, No. 1, 1997, pp. 71ñ92 AN INTEGRAL THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS Ken Wilber, 6183 Red Hill Rd., Boulder, CO 80302, USA Abstract: An extensive data search among various types of developmental and evolutionary sequences yielded a ëfour quadrantí model of consciousness and its development (the four quadrants being intentional, behavioural, cultural, and social). Each of these dimensions was found to unfold in a sequence of at least a dozen major stages or levels. Combining the four quadrants with the dozen or so major levels in each quadrant yields an integral theory of consciousness that is quite comprehensive in its nature and scope. This model is used to indicate how a general synthesis and integration of twelve of the most influential schools of consciousness studies can be effected, and to highlight some of the most significant areas of future research. The conclusion is that an ëall-quadrant, all-levelí approach is the minimum degree of sophistication that we need into order to secure anything resembling a genuinely integral theory of consciousness. Introduction There has recently been something of an explosion of interest in the development of a ëscience of consciousnessí, and yet there are at present approximately a dozen major but conflicting schools of consciousness theory and research. My own approach to consciousness studies is based on the assumption that each of these schools has something irreplaceably important to offer, and thus what is required is a general model sophisticated enough to incorporate the essentials of each of them. These schools include the following: 1. Cognitive science tends to view consciousness as anchored in functional schemas of the brain/mind, either in a simple representational fashion (such as JacKendoffís ëcomputational mindí) or in the more complex emergent/connectionist models, which view consciousness as an emergent of hierarchically integrated networKs.
