“The Multi-Intelligence Revolution” by Jim Garrison Ph.D.
Summary: The central question confronting humanity is this: How should humanity refine its consciousness to creatively respond to the Four Most Consequential Truths of our time?
- We are confronted by accelerating planetary ecological collapse.
- We are challenged by increasing global and social instability.
- We have unleashed exponential Artificial Intelligence.
- We are deepening our awareness of Cosmic intelligence on Earth.
These truths compel us to understand that humanity must now align with three other intelligences distinct from human intelligence: Nature intelligence, Artificial intelligence, Extraterrestrial intelligence. These four intelligences must be brought together creatively and purposefully for us to ensure that humanity can learn to live harmoniously within the web of life. The reality we all face is that we are not alone and we cannot make it alone. We need to co-create with other sentient beings the future of life on Earth.
“Soteriology Unveiled: Rekindling Budo (the Emblem Capital City), the Pre-patriarchal Mecca of the Ceto-Magoist World” by Helen Hye-Sook Hwang Ph.D.
Summary: My work postulates that our Neolithic ancestors encountered the matriversal reality of WE/HERE/NOW and inscribed soteriology in Ceto-Magoist Civilization (Whale-led Matristic Civilization) that we moderns inherited. Budo (Emblem Capital City), better known as Old Joseon (ca. 2333-232 BCE) among Koreans, was the last innovation that manifested the way of harmonizing with the Ninefold Cosmic Music, the creative force of the Matriverse. As a revival of an earlier civilization known as Sinsi (Divine City) laid out by Goma, the Shaman Queen Savior and the Teacher in the mid-Neolithic, Budo carved out a yet new path and awakened humanity to the Great Unity of ALL (including inorganic entities). Budo was the last worldwide matricentric confederacy built on the legacy of Ceto-Magoism (the Whale-guided Way of Mago, the Crearix). While an immediate predecessor of worldwide patriarchal civilizations, the history of Budo was subjected to deliberate erasure, which set patriarchy on free rein thereafter.
