TURQUOISE: Holistic View Holistic Self - 1970 [Worldcentric]
.1 % of pop./ 1 % of power
.1 % of pop./ 1 % of power
We now experience the awakening of the experiential self using knowledge to restore natural harmony, balance
We see - the world as an elegantly balanced system of interlocking forces So – we experience the wholeness of existence through mind and spirit – we see the connections that exist among all creation
By - seeing ourselves as both distinct and a blended part of a larger, compassionate whole
With - holistic, intuitive thinking and cooperative actions
This world views gathers us all together into a global community and calls us to find and/or recover the healthy stories, rituals, and the best heritage of all the "tribes" of the world. The next worldview will parallel Red and have to do with power arrangements at an Integral Level . . . the designated color is Coral.
THE CHALLENGE: "The single greatest problem in the world today is that seventy percent of the population is trapped at ethnocentric or lower by the conflict between religion and modernity. Science and modernity sit on top of these large portions of the world’s traditional religions. And there’s this huge conflict that prevents people from taking their faith from [blue]into orange, or from mythic into rational, or from ethnocentric into worldcentric. So the religious leaders need to start to understand that religion can act as a conveyor belt—because it actually picks people up at ... magic, and mythic, it can help move them into rational, pluralistic, integral, and higher. Remember, everybody is still born at square one and has to develop through these great levels or waves of consciousness. There will always be people who believe in magic and mythic, and that’s okay. But religion can help act as a conveyor belt, moving them into the higher structures, and only religion can do that. So the conveyor belt is an idea for religion and its role in the modern and postmodern world that religion has not yet thought of, but I think it would be radical and revolutionary if it would get with the picture.
