These Writings are Psychoactive Injunctions




"In the metaphysical traditions, an object (or that which is known) existed in or on a plane of reality, so that the referent of a spiritual statement was a reality existing in one of those planes or realms. The subject or knower existed on a corresponding level of selfhood and then simply perceived the pre-existing object. But in post-metaphyics, objects exist in worldspaces that are enacted in part by the knowing subject, and both subject and object of any variety are defined by evolutionary or developmental altitude (not levels of pre-existing ontology) and the perspective doing the enacting (not a perception of epistemology).

Nor are these structures merely subjective, because once evolved, they are trans-individual or collective Kosmic habits, which push against any human psychology and guide its growth. Both "up there" and "in here" disappear into tetra-enacted structures of the Kosmos."

Ken Wilber, Integral Spirituality

In order to know the full Truth of Reality one must Look. To look is to act or take up a methodology. A methodology is given to by a perspective & injunctions. These lead to apprehensions (datum) which can then be compared with others who perform the same methodologies. Anything short of taking up all known methodologies of enacting and understanding reality, will give you only partial perspectives. Claiming a partial perspective to be "absolute truth" locks you into a semi-perspective world which has certain solutions to any known problems. You cannot see it all. You can, however be free in relation to the partial world that arises in your awareness. This is horizontal enlightenment. But, to truly enact the deepest intention of the Kosmos you may lack the necessary skillful means. The moral imperative is that we "evolve". This evolution is mysterious, organic, and unformulaic although it make take structure, form, & require discipline. This science is so new, that I would claim we are creating the very tetra-enacted realities that will further its aims, and this should be done with care in mutuality.
