[MD] non SOM leads

[gav]

hiya all,
been readin the posts with interest.
andre you are a welcome addition to the forum;
and chris' post on sweden was instructive for me.

andre, i agree that the MOQ is very important for philosophy, and the broader paradigm shift it is helping catalyse. i also think that there are other philosophers, artists and areas of inquiry that are either non-som or point in that direction. these 'non-som leads' are moq allies and it may be a good idea to record these.

so.....
plotinus: pirsig compares his ideas most closely with plotinus.

the situationists, especially vaneigem in my opinion, get very close with their 'reversal of perspective': the situation contains the individual as an integral part.

ecology: the web of life is a similar analogy (or can become one) to the net of indra.

gaia theory: the earth is a self-regulating system. the dynamic homeostasis it maintains is inseparable from life. ie the earth is alive and a single sentient organism. only organisms self-regulate; machines cannot.

sheldrake and morphic resonance - complement gaia theory well

henry miller: ecstatic visionary

jo campbell: explains myth - the mythos is not som, dreams are not som.

therefore, dreaming: our dream life is usually not self-reflective (lucid dreaming may be an exception); ie it is immersive and unitary.

dreamtime: the mythic origins of the aboriginal world

mckenna and psychoactives - mushrooms, lsd, peyote, san pedro, dmt etc all reveal the underlying unity of reality. ecstasy helps here too.

hermann hesse....been thinking about the glass bead game recently: another analogy for the net of indra perhaps

taoism and zen obviously

jung and synchronicity - non-linear time....2012 follows this lead - the end of time, is, i believe, the end of linear time, or SOM time.

anyway - that is a start, hope you guys get something helpful from it.
