The Immediate Future
7 : Where Do We Go from Here?
The crucial issue at this time is: what do we do next? How can evolution, which has taken a deliberate pause in its ongoing dynamics in order to refurbish its foundations much more adequately and accurately, effectively move forward from what appears on the surface to be such a complete meltdown (most visibly, but by no means solely, represented by Trumpâs election)?
There are steps that need to be taken at every major level of development (indeed, with every major element in the AQAL matrix), but here we are examining the major driver of this meltdown, which is the deconstructive collapse of the green leading-edge in a self-corrective readjustment attempting to find a sturdier base for an ongoing self-organization through self-transcendence (or for transcending and including all previous stages).
With regard to the dysfunctional green leading-edge itselfâthe actual primary source of the problem (in addition to hundreds of secondary sources)âthere are two major possible ways forward, each of which has some hope for alleviating the traffic jam at the leading-edge. The first is the more likely and the less effective, and that involves the healing of the broken and dysfunctional green leading-edge itselfâa move of green, by green, on green, aimed at self-healing and self-correction. Amber and orange are each attempting to do more or less what they are supposed to be doing, operating within the (often grave) limitations of their own levels (although both are also suffering, not only from deficits at their own levels, but also from excessive intrusion by a broken green, and that categorically needs to be remedied as part of the green healing). But green, we have seen, has gone off the deep end. In its intense aperspectival madness, it has heightened and inflamed its own malady and inflicted that illness on every area of society that it possibly can. The primary symptom of this is a widespread negative judgment and condemnation of anything amber and orange (anything not green). Green shows no understanding of how and why each of those levels of being and awareness is a necessary stage in a humanâs overall growth and developmentâthat is, that a person arrives at green itself only because they have first developed through amber and then orangeâ¦and then green. No amber, no orangeâno green. Do you see the suicidal insanity of green hating amber and orange?
Again, for green, these two large blocks (of amber and orange, which are usually mushed together, since green has no conception of individual stages of development) are the great source of the oppressive forces that are turning green people everywhere into âvictims,â and it tries to crush these forces out of existence with everything from aggressive political correctness, to criminalizing every âmicro-aggressionâ imaginable, to turning every square inch of the country into an ethnocentric-enhancing âsafe space,â to confusing necessary differentiation with oppression. (Green feels that any âdifferencesâ that are recognized between any groups automatically become the source of discrimination and oppression, and thus
