I agree that your work in this area in the spirit of Michael Brooks is badly needed. Bringing together Gebser's integral approach and the left is promising, especially since socialism needs to be reclaimed from bureaucratic socialism and its adamant and narrow modernism.

This suggests Gandhi who has postmodern and p;rogressive elements in his thought as well as reactionary ones.

Hey Jeremy! gratitude for your ongoing illuminating and profound engagement. Glad to get to know Michael Brooks and Cosmopolitan Socialism.

Looking forward to reading you and connecting. All the best from Norway, where the sky is clear and Soul connection enhanced. Fran

-----The quality and shape of our contact with consciousness "unfolds inside the quality and shape of our own Attention, which can open (or close) space for consciousness to unfold." (loosely borrowed from Adam Robbert work on attention and perceptions). Such vicissitudes and variations in this attention (and caring) --- it is ours to learn to support this pre-historic gift of attention as it learns to meet and participate in multiples.....
