Dear Interspiritualists --

When this "Alliance" was first conceived, a guiding idea was something called "The Integral Hypothesis" -- which I felt was emerging as a simple basis for agreement on new-world global shift activism. There's something emerging across the planet, interspirituality is in the forefront of its spiritual aspects, we can define this "something" -- and inherent in it are the guidelines we need for the way forward....

Since developing this idea here, I've gone on to build another project generally centered, once again, on "politics" -- or the big issues of how independent cultural and demographic groups can work together to build a world that works.

If you want to know how the world is doing on this subject -- try turning on your TV for a minute. The United States Congress is at its lowest approval level ever, and the "list of issues" we are systematically failing to address is encyclopedic.

Today, over on Facebook, without thinking about it much, I just typed something into a box, with the title "Integral Hypothesis" -- as a simple general design statement for a huge project in communal network activism.

TEN-THOUSAND DOORS

Within the framework of simplicity -- this is actually a hugely complex undertaking, looking at every issue imaginable, at every level of scale (city block, neighborhood, city, county, state, nation, world) -- but we COULD design and actually build a mediating network process that contacted millions of individuals and groups, calling them all into a single common center, all though a common centered alignment.

That could happen.

So, maybe for me, what I really should do -- is just kind of feel my way into this statement. Is this right, can it be simplified or clarified or made briefer, is it really a kind of preamble to a broader design process, to be followed, I think, by an activist construction project....?

I don't want to "work on" this too hard right now. I just mostly want to "receive it" and see how it feels, maybe polish and adjust it a bit.

Do we want to knock on ten-thousand doors with an idea like this -- or the immediate practical implications of an idea like this?

INTEGRAL HYPOTHESIS

Everything is contained within Oneness. This principle contains and implies the guiding wisdom of wholeness that can heal the world. Transpartisan politics and enlightened governance/democracy can be sheltered within the framework of this wholeness. Everything in the world -- and every division and source of anger or disagreement or pain -- can be healed through this process, by acknowledging this wholeness.

This principle is a design for network activism, that the human community can consciously undertake, in a systematic way. The entire process of convergence is guided by the pure law of circle, held in its immaculate universal sacred geometry, and aligned to the common-denominator vertical axis that interconnects everything.

This "axial bridge design" image shows how the process of "bridge-building" to converge this wholeness can begin. Within this integral framework can be contained and guided all other facets of society and civilization and human affairs.

This simple idea is the master architectural principle for "the global shift", and can be undertaken and actually developed through a collaborative network process guided by resonance and the wisdom of wholeness.

THE INTEGRAL POWER OF CIRCLES

The fundamental core logic of this so-called "stunning integration" runs on the principle of circles -- and the simple/primal principle that "every circle has a center". Ten people in one circle brings the individual centers of ten people into one center -- and the power emerges because the ten individual centers -- in a resonant and tuned context -- merge into one center through the principle of "Namaste"

This unity integrates the circle at its center, and merges with a universal center. This is a well-documented idea, with roots that extend throughout the history of mysticism, and is well-defined by Teilhard deChardin, in quotes listed here: http://networknation.net/teilhard.cfm
