A Miracle Called We (Mar 11 2007) part 3

2:07 - we all know the story of course, but let's go through it again - from the 60s on, the only God / spirituality that was available was a blue / amber / mythic membership God / spirituality (God in second person)

2:28 - so we rejected that

2:35 - and were introduced to the eastern traditions (God in first person)

2:57 - and then we started in with systems theory, Gaia hypothesis, Tao of physics, etc. (God in third person)

3:22 - our concept of God in the second person seems to have been arrested at blue / amber / mythic membership

4:34 - suppressing God in second person really allowed ego to nest

4:57 - an embrace of God in second person comes with surrender, gratitude, humility - a bit of a sticky point with Boomers

6:08 - as soon as there is manifestation, then there is I Am, God in first person

20:36 - the kosmos relieves tension by escaping to a higher level of order - that is eros, self-transcendence through self organization

22:22 - all holons have four drives

22:33 - operating vertically are the drives of eros and agape; eros is the move upward, to attain higher and more encompassing embrace, agape is the reaching down and embracing what's already present

22:46 - operating horizontally are the drives of agency and communion

22:57 - pathological eros is phobos; transcend and repress

23:22 - pathological agape is thanatos, the urge to move down; regression

23:44 - agency is the drive to be autonomous

23:58 - pathological agency leads to alienation, separation, divorce from emotion; pathological communion leads to fusion, addiction to relationships, loss of autonomy, loss of freedom, loss of self in the union

25:09 - an individual holon has a distinct boundary

33:53 - wherever you find an I, there is a we

40:34 - are there horizontal stages social holons go through?

41:29 - artefacts are detachable, which is why social holons do not go through stages of development in the same way individual holons do
