How things change!

Posted on Jul 17th, 2008 by M. Alan : Aspiring sadhak M. Alan
A lot has been happening with me, but I don't want to write too much both because the energy gets dissipated, also other reasons.  Nevertheless i will write in private and reply if people ask.  But basicallty I will probably be spending much less time on the internet.  So if I don't reply straight away that's why.

Later I will write more.

Now something I can talk about .  I've been busy and haven't had tiome for any writing in the last few weeks, but this morning I've been going over some of the later chapters in my book.  The early chapters (which I have done the most work on) are fine but the later ones are still very disorganised.  There are three or four half written former book projects all jumbled up, and because i'm tired of all this academic stuff i want to merge them together into one big academic book, on Integral Metaphysics and Transformation, and this will be my opus and contribution to the Integral Movement. 

Then when it is completed i can work on other writing prjects (and maybe also before it's completed)

This material in these later book chapters dates from my "Integralist" period.  How dated my consciousness then now seems!  That doesn't mean I'm going to scrap what I wrote; there is still a lot of good stuff there.  Even though I was writing from a more limited perspective, the mental being still produced good material. 

The funny thing is, if I felt then (say 2006-7) how I feel now, I wouldn't 've gotten involved in the Integral Movement the way I did.  For taht matter there is a lot I would have done differently on the net in any case.  But what the Buddhists say is right; we are straeams of conscioousness that change from moment to moment.  Even my website includes layers of development that have been deposited, like sedimentary layers of rocks, withe ach stratum represtening a different stage in the development of consciousness.

This is why I also want to revise, and are in the process of revising, my Kheper site; again like the book keeping the old stuff, but just organising it a bit differently.

Hello Alan,

I'm sorry to hear you won't be posting much in the near future.  I just discovered your blog here (through Sandra's profile).  I put your blog on notification and this is the first one that I was notified about.  I haven't even looked through any of your blogs yet but plan on doing so.

Of the writings about integral I come across on the web, yours interest me way more than most.  I enjoy some aspects of integral theory, but I get bored with much of the arcane intellectual debate that goes on in integral groups.

I hope all is well with you, and I look forward to when your posting more regularly again.

hi Marmalade

Thanks for the kind words

Yeah my feelingsabout the Integral Movement seem to be pretty close to yours.  i sense there is a great deal of potential there, and that it is an important development (which is what attracted me to it in the first place) but it gets dissipated and wasted in in too much overly detailed intellectualism.

I like that sort of stuff too, but it just gets boring after a while, especially if there isn't enough gnosis to accompany it

best regards

Dear Alan, my old fruit,

What you have suggested is an excellent idea, and stick to it….please!!! To be frank it would be very useful for everyone if you wrote a comprehensive info packed “academic-like” tome on Integral Metaphysics, and Transformation! It would become an invaluable starting point to anyone new, or fairly new to such ideas. I would certainly buy it when it came out as I know you have such a fund of knowledge on all this!!

Regards,

R.Searle.
