Reflections
Looking back on the years of entries in this journal, I can trace a path of personal progress.
Oh, tea's ready.
With this new Integral System, I can understand my former perspectives in a completely new light.
I started this journal over four years ago; I was terribly insecure and highly self-conscious. But, after just a few weeks of blogging, I began to reveal my Relativistic nature. I posted entries about the evolving consciousness of the human race, and I even wrote an essay wherein I quoted Ken Wilber, having no idea who he was or what his research entailed.
I just happened to have a Sri Aurobindo book lying around, which I never read very deeply because of its heady, dry nature. I could probably handle it now, though. Ken Wilber wrote the forward, and it was exactly what I needed to use as "research." I just wrote an essay using whatever theory I had personally concocted based on what little I understood of chemistry, cosmology and what was presented in the "New Age" theories. I had to cite research sources, so I just found some people I'd never heard of, like Ken Wilber, who seemed to agree with me, and used their words without ever reading their works.
Well, years later, I've read me some Ken Wilber.
I am a Wilberian.
Ken Wilber can do this:
So I wrote Evolution of Consciousness all those years ago, and posted it on this journal. It under Memories, I think.
And I can trace my emotional path through all those years, had I the patience to sift through the entries and pontificate.
So, has anyone out there read Prometheus Rising yet?
