What is the “new“ in a new we-culture?
This is my reply to the request from Evolve magazine to address the question of “What is the ‘new’ in a new we-culture?” in 200 words, which will be published in their next issue.
It is Springtime and seeds are breaking through solid soil; sprouts stretching towards the Sun. With the same elemental force (and fragility), individual and collective human consciousness is stretching towards ever-new heights.
In the tip of the current wave are self-organizing associations of autonomous agents, connected by a shared passion to evolve consciousness and culture as themselves.
When the spiral of the We line of development is turning from the ego-centric to the world-centric stage as is the case for many “We-space” groups, then dots are connecting, systemic interdependences are becoming visible and lives more meaningful.
Evolution is shifting from happening to us to happening through us.
In this new culture we exercise our response-ability to the community that is not an antithesis of our individual autonomy but a garden in which it can truly blossom.
Thanks to the Internet, the new we-culture can develop collective sensing and meaning making organs.
Realizing that possibility is our next step in the long march towards the awakening of humankind’s collective sentience: the capacity of the We (at any scale) to care for the well-being and evolution of the whole and all of its parts, as well as its habitat, the larger encompassing whole.
