Recently, a Buddhist teacher and friend of mine named Hokai posted a blog on stages and states of time awareness that invites us to take an integral perspective on what we mean by “the power of Now.” Here is what he says:

The following is a blog post from a couple years ago. I'm reposting it now because I've discovered a nice video of the virtual art installation the blog is based on, which I'll post in a reply below.
Recently, through an essay by Ron Purser (a professor at San Francisco State University and a writer on TSK, Gebser, and related topics), I was introduced to the fascinating virtual art of Char…

In honor of Fr. Panikkar's recent passing, I am resurrecting an old blog on his work that I wrote several years ago. I wrote the blog in the context of an ongoing blogosphere debate, at the time, around the work of the so-called New Atheists and the role…

Hi Bruce, I had a message posted on my wall by a new member, James Pollard, asking me to contact him by email with a vague message that sounds like phishing to me. He's listed as a new member, from Ghana, but I thought the group was full at this time. Is it possible the forum has been hacked?
Bruce, Is this old email address still one that you have or use?
rbruce11@comcast.net
I sent you a copy of most recent draft of the book Your Third Nature which I'm working on (118 pages into it). I further developed my flare/self model. Explore many "gray areas" between quadrants in certain (recent) sections of the book. Quad crossover is not two contradictory if one assumes a reality substratum where convergence and non-locality might be. All it takes is a bit of dipping deeper into reality and then bringing the information back up toward the surface layers of reality (or ways of enacting?) in order to successfully cross from one quadrant to another, without merely conflating them. This is essentially a non-dual perspective of dualities. Depth recognition resolves the the paradox of non-dual duality. At the deeper perspective all the ten thousand things (Taoism) are one, but at a shallower perspective they remain many. If "deeper" is more of an essense of reality, then in some sense it is more really real than duality, but that doesn't mean that duality is nothing but an illusion. It is as real as can be at the level in which it is. Somehow even though a real, objective-like, depth dimension is added to reality, the viewing from different depth levels seems like the good old frames of reference or sets of operations valued by a postmetaphysical camp. If a new metaphysical reality has been posited in the form of a reality-with-depth-and-unfolding, at least it includes careful qualifications about "truth," instead of positing a one-size-fits all truth. Truth is relative to how deep in the flare you are centered. Also it is relative to how well integrated depth and surface experiences and/or transactions are (my "d x dc" formula, or "depth with depth continuity").
Let me know if I need to use a different email address.
Do you have time, energy, and interest to look into the line of thought I am sharing here (and in the book)?
My line of thought is much in line with the whole quantum consciousness line of thought, and subject, I suppose, to the same quad-conflation criticism.

Hi, Bruce. Thank you for the welcome!
Thanks Bruce, Good to be a part of the forum. I'm looking forward to getting a bit involved with it. I'm glad we will be discussing my paper down the track. You may need to right click on it , to access it on the metaIntegral site, probably because I used an older edition of Adobe Reader.
Thanks Bruce
Hi and Thank you, glad to be here, inspiring page for me, as far as i can see. warm regards christin
Thanks Bruce. Looking forward to diving in!
Thanks Bruce-ji. It's a pleasure to be here
Hi Bruce, just realized it's you! Thanks for welcoming, and great job - this place seems to be the hottest integral hub these days!!
At the moment, this site is at full membership capacity and we are not admitting new members. We are still getting new membership applications, however, so I am considering upgrading to the next level, which will allow for more members to join. In the meantime, all discussions are open for viewing and we hope you will read and enjoy the content here.
