Terry Patten brought me back here

I just finished a reading of Terry Patten's extraordinary paper “Enacting an Integral Revolution: How Can We Have Truly Radical Conversations in a Time of Global Crisis?” What he's describing is the sort of thing I'm imagining as a conversation for evolution. 

I'm not prepared to attempt a thorough response but I want to plunk a quote in here hoping I'm not violating his copyright. 

On page 26, (4), he says:  “After having learned to enter into this process, and to become a responsible “player” in this intersubjective playground, participants can experience themselves participating as a collective intelligence which is itself learning about how to more fully emerge through them, not only to advance into new clarity and presence but to evolve the very way it does so, advancing in its elegance, clarity and grace.” 

I want to play that game. 

Love, Woody
