The Evolution of Consciousness

A look at a developmental map of consciousness, Spiral Dynamics. Evolution is vertical, are we looking horizontal?

Very important, complimentary video on evolution:
"Cosmogenesis" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3wDu7NcP0I

Note: Each level, or meme, of the wave is holistic. This means that it includes and transcends former levels. It can go up and down, mix various levels at the same time. It has been compared to a storm or tornado spiral of alternativing waves, but what is also true is that a culture gravitates toward a certain perspective at a particular time. So, yes, each meme here is just a general overview, and you will see it before it became the dominant wave in a society. That's normal and natural.

I hate when people make videos of just text. Why not just write the whole fucking thing down on a blog somewhere so people who can read faster than an 8 year old don't have to waste 5 minutes of their time?

@hecktate ... need a hug?

I wonder why music would be considered integral merely based on the text involving some integral stereotypes and the singer vaguely confessing adherence to the church of integralism by association with such stereotypes.

If music would be integral, it would have to show MUSICALLY. This here music is just same old same old "progressive" rock which is popular with greens but MUSCIALLY it is mythical, in the time honored tradition of baroque basso continuo =;)

@LooksAeterna ~ Interesting thoughts. I'm actually delighted to hear this articulation. A few years ago, when this was posted, there were never such insightful reflections. Seems stuff is changing in the noosphere. People come now with their own insights into what integral means. Well put sir. I still like Stu's music. :)

Respond to this video... I wonder, also what do you think an integral MUSIC would sound like? Would it be electronic, a mix-mash of mythic, mental, etc? How would one reverberate with the sound of, to put it in Geber's terms, Origin?

I know this isn't going to be a popular comment, but I have to say it. The evolution of consciousness is part of the great deception that is happening all around you. Do not buy into it! Jesus is our only way out of this mess. I am not a dogmatic Christian... I was an atheist for most of my life, and I am obsessed with researching ancient esoteric knowledge, and I've gotten pretty deep into the occult stuff. You consciousness does not evolve. Don't buy into it. Resist this movement with Jesus.

Though I enjoyed the video aesthetically, it is about changes to culture and technology, not consciousness. The only thing that drives us is the survival sense. Our knowledge base has changed but the fundamental way we think has not. If it ever does stop being about survival, then we will no longer exist. The world is not advancing towards something wonderful, it's just constantly changing. Enjoy life for what it is or don't.

@AutumnKitten nevermind, found it.

Have a good read of - "The Heaven's Declare: Astrological Ages and Evolution of Consciousness" By Alice O. Howell. She explains everything in easy to read detail and examples of history around the world. I couldn't put this book down. Best explainion ever of how all this works.

goede muziek kun je niet altyd opschrijven !

 I thought this video was about how conciousness could have evolved from the gases and energy present in the early universe. I am dissapointed

@thepathlesspath Think you could get the Mayans to magic me up the 5 minutes it took you to go through 30 seconds of text?
