I am learning to become a curator of integrative whole-hearted currencies.
In my street, in my city, and on our one shared planet, there are people with cultural values from places in Australia, Oceania, Asia, Africa, Europe, and North-Central-South America.
Accordingly, in my work, I try to give appropriate attention to, and I try to take care with, the life-affirming values that can be found within Primal (First Peoples), Oriental (Hindu, Taoist, Confucian, Buddhist et al.), Semitic (Judaic, Christian, Muslim et al.), Modern (Cartesian sciences), Postmodern (various critiques of modern), and Polymodern-Metamodern (modern + postmodern) communities, as independent identities, as inter-independent parties, and as more fully appreciated interactive communities on our one shared planet, altogether.
I am educated in psychology at Deakin University, and in strategic foresight and integral theory at Swinburne University of Technology, and I am engaged in various ways with various communities around the world, including The Philos-Sophia Initiative, Matheson Trust, World Wisdom Books, Vertical Development Academy (VeDA), STAGES International, Integral Life, MetaIntegral, Integral City, Integral Leadership Review, Paul van Schaik’s Integral Urban Hub, Integral European Conference, Ubiquity University's Humanity Rising, Center for Action and Contemplation, The Club of Rome, Earth4All, Kosmos Journal, Post-Doom, r3.0, et al.
“The great — and long-forgotten — fact is that in the integrality of their being, every man, woman, and child constitutes a veritable microcosm: a tripartite whole, consisting of corpus, anima, and spiritus, which moreover is in a sense “isomorphic” to the macrocosm. The fact is that a human being and cosmos are inseparably linked" [adjusted] – Wolfgang Smith, The Philos-Sophia Initiative.
Such, according to humanity's wisdom traditions, is Nature, a tripartite whole, consisting of Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma (Greek), Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus (Latin), Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism (Arabic), Heart-soul-body (English), Svar-Bhuvas-Bhū (Vedic Tribhuvana), in all creatures.
Our modern world, tragically for all forms of life, collapses Nature by focusing attention on empirical measurements of selected entities within a prescribed Cartesian spatio-temporal cosmos, all of which depends on two Cartesian principles: res extensae (extended things in space-time, represented mathematically in terms of three spatial and one linear temporal coordinates: the familiar Cartesian quadruple [x1, x2, x3, t]), and res cogitantes (“things of the mind”, “ghosts in the machine”, “schizoid, disenchanted, alienated, unhappy egos”).
What is becoming so disturbing for each one of us in our modern world is how BAD our living conditions are becoming with our escalating ecological emergencies, intensifying climate crises, and with our ongoing social dehumanisations into technocratic economic elites and techno-feudalised workers fighting to survive within these ever-worsening living conditions.
Yet we continue to be told by many of our so-called economic leaders not to worry about our current ongoing collapses in the quality of air, waters, soils, lands, biodiversity, and overall living conditions because our modern world is continuing to be so damn good — SUPPOSEDLY, according to these advocates for limitless economic growth on our finite planet, using their selected measurements like GDP, ESG, SDG et al. — for increasing the production and consumption of goods in order to maximise their profits in their games of wealth supremacy.
Thus, measures like GDP or GNP, condemned by many for their dire limitations, including Senator Robert Kennedy in his celebrated University of Kansas speech in 1968, continue to be used in many countries to justify the ongoing neglect in truly generating regenerative ways of human living on our planet.
Our current failures in generating truly regenerative ways of human living will be resulting, in accordance with our current trends, in heart-breaking inter-generational genocide with our younger generations doomed to live the rest of their lives in ever more perilous living conditions.
We need to recall here again living in very different worlds in which, “According to the traditional wisdom of humanity, the anthropos constitutes actually a microcosm: a “cosmos in miniature,” a fact which entails that even as a human being is tripartite — consisting of corpus-anima- Spiritus (Latin), soma-psyche-Pneuma (Greek), body-soul-Heart (English), the Tribhuvana or “triple world” in the Vedic East — so too is the cosmos at large tripartite (corporeal, intermediary, and spiritual). It is thus the artist, and above all the saint — the “pure in heart” — who know how to perceive” (adjusted) – Wolfgang Smith, The Philos-Sophia Initiative.
My attention now is on finding ways to regenerate integrative whole-hearted thriveability for current and future generations within everybody with everybody in Humanity and Nature.

From Unsustainable to Thriveable Ways of Living by Gerard Bruitzman
Nature (understood as Matter-Life-Mind-Soul-Spirit in Qualitative Degrees of Being and Knowing, not as modernity’s Cartesian body-mind bifurcation, which radically reduces Nature to res extensae, measurable entities), religion (participation in Divine Qualities, like Beauty, Goodness, and Truth, from exterior observances to Heart-Centred Living in Universal Divine Love), arts and sciences (various qualitative and quantitative methods of knowing, in memory, sentiments, will, imagination, and reason), and morals-ethics (being true within oneself with each other), are now being recklessly undermined by economic elites (wealth supremacies), who are simply focused on accumulating power and material wealth for themselves.
Given such dire living conditions in Australia, the USA, and other nations, we must join with each other to restore human dignity and wellbeing for each person within the natural rhythms of Nature.
Now, maybe, we will truly stand with the UN Declaration of Human Rights?
Now, maybe, we will truly learn to Love Each Other with Heart-Centred Heartfulness?
Thus, “the great nightmare of scientific materialism was upon us (Whitehead)”, in our various post-truth worlds in recent decades.
Now, in the 2020s, our worlds continue to become ever more de-sacralized, de-natured, and dis-heartened. Verifications through measurements tend to be the only considerations in many settings. For many scientists, only their selected measurements count; for many economists, only their selected economic measures count; for many politicians, across the political spectrum from left to right, only their selected poll numbers count.
Habitually, modern people forget that their common reductionisms undermine the Quality of Divine Qualities, like Beauty in Arts and Skills, Goodness in Persons, Interpersonal Relations and Shared Cultures, and Truth in Philosophy and Sciences, amongst Humanity’s Choirs of Heart-Centred Beings, and amidst Nature’s Orchestras of Living Beings.
Since the 1970s, many people with neoliberal values have spent their lives focused on endless economic growth on our finite shared planet, pursuing profits with heartless greed, powering the wealth supremacies of economic elites, at local, national, and global scales, while degrading and undermining the development and wellbeing of billions of marginalised peoples, with the web of life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices. In other words, while accumulating their stores of financial wealth, many people with neoliberal values have externalized nature, individualized people, deregulated ethics, privatized public services, globalized local produce, efficiently turning many men and many women into mechanized, computerized, digitalized, robotized, insatiable “consumers”, dehumanising everybody within their toxic, all-consuming, degenerative, supposedly “free” markets.
Now, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth struggling with various tipping points of human-induced traumas, as clean air, natural waters, and fertile soils continue to be deliberately turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading, destroying, and undermining the habitats of many plants, many animals, and many human beings.
Here we ask: Can we change out of our current common toxic habits in Cartesian body-mind heartlessness? Can we participate ever more fully in all-inclusive Heartfulness, inhabiting universal compassion and deep wisdom for all living beings, in our tripartite Kosmos (Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
Said more simply, can human beings learn to love each other, to thrive with each other and with all living beings, at local, national and global scales, in relative harmony within “me”, in my life, with “us”, in our community, and with “all of life, altogether”, on our finite shared planet?
To regenerate life beyond our various climate, biodiversity, and resources shocks on our finite shared planet, we need everybody to thrive in Heart-soul-body, in each person, in our inter-personal relations, and in our eco-social organisations, within the ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats and matrices, and we need to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across all generations of all living beings.
In sum, to participate ever more fully in our personal (intentions, arts, crafts, morals, behaviours, skills), inter-personal (relations, ethics, cultures), and eco-social (ecological, social, political, economic, technological) worlds, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become ever more fully centred in our common Heart-Centred Humanity.
We hope, especially for the Wellbeing of Life in the lives of our young people in emerging generations in forthcoming years and decades, that we can regenerate Life in All of Us, Altogether, NOW.
In the 1920s, philosopher Alfred North Whitehead presented his findings on the dire consequences of Cartesian bifurcation, and the fallacy of misplaced concreteness.
In the 2020s, without deep consideration for Divine Qualities, like Beauty-Goodness-Truth, verifications through measurements are now authorised in many settings.
For many scientists, only measurements count; for many economists, only profits count; for many politicians, only the polling numbers count.
So, we externalize life in people, planet, and Divine Qualities from our current considerations
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have powered economic growth with heartless greed, producing wealth supremacies for economic elites, with the wellbeing of countless people degraded and with life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
So, we ask here: can we change from our current states of body-mind heartlessness into ever-present states of fully alive Heartfulness (One-in All, All-in-One) in our tripartite Kosmos (Tribhuvana in Vedic East, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
More simply, can human beings learn to love each other, thrive with each other and with all living beings, in relative harmony and shared peace on our one shared finite planet?
In this presentation, we try to hold various people with life-affirming values in Primal Traditions, Oriental Traditions, Abrahamic Traditions, Modern Sciences, Postmodern (critiques of modern) and Metamodern (modern + postmodern) Schools, ALTOGETHER.
To truly address our interacting personal, inter-personal, economic, socio-political, and ecological crises, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become deeply grounded in our common Heart-centred humanity.
To regenerate life on our one shared planet, we need everybody to learn to thrive in Heart-soul-body within the finite ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats-matrices, and we need everybody to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across all current and future generations of all living beings.
We hope, especially for our younger generations, that we can do so.
Living within our self-created ecological emergency, we need to decide NOW, as individuals in our various inter-personal communities in our various collective societies, do we want to continue, or not, with our current degenerative ways of living, exploiting in unsustainable ways both nature and human beings in pursuit of reckless economic growth, defined in diverse ways at local, national, and global scales as GDP, CSR, ESG, GPI, SDGs, irresponsible greed, ongoing intragenerational and intergenerational injustices et al.?
We warn here that each of these indicators of economic growth (GDP, CSR, ESG, GPI, SDGs et al.) fails to recognise: 1) our planet’s ecological thresholds - a planetary ethic that accepts full responsibility for sustaining the quality of our planet’s air, waters, lands, minerals, plants, and animals; and 2) fair social allocations – a gender ethic and an intergenerational ethic that accepts full responsibility for securing the full dignity, and for generating the full qualitative development in body, mind, soul, and heart, of each and every human being, within and across current and future generations, within all current societies.
Much better than continuing with our escalating ecocide and with our intensifying episodes of horrifying humanicide, which can be seen everywhere, most significantly with the general loss of Heart-Centred Values in modern, postmodern, and metamodern communities, we need to decide as individuals in our various communities in our various local, regional, national, and global societies to work with each other to move out of our current degenerative ways of living to regenerate altogether in individuals and communities the astonishing Beauty, Goodness, Truth, and other precious Divine Qualities that can be found in our Full Humanity and in the Wholeness of Nature.
One option opens into valuable thriving futures, leading into happiness for each and all; the other does not, remaining stuck in ceaseless compounding suffering.

“What I think we have been lacking is to be able to paint the picture to really build out in people's imagination what is an economy like Australia going to be like 10, 15 years from now when it has moved over to renewables? What does it mean for the quality of cities? What does it mean for the quality of agriculture? What does it mean for the Great Barrier Reef? What does it mean for camping in the bush safely without having to worry about ... fires? It is a much, much healthier, longer term, stable economy that we can definitely build, and must be built. But we haven't painted that picture very well. Hence, if you do not have a visual destination of the positive world that you want to construct, it's very difficult for people to gravitate there.”
So we must dream.
“Obviously, the doom and gloom makes us concerned, helpless, hopeless, despair, grief, all that family of sentiments that are important because we have to understand what is out there,” she said. “But we have not been able to point to the fact that actually now in this decade we are in the most consequential decade of the history of humankinds. Because over the next 10 years we will decide whether we are at one half the global emissions in order to be able to move on to much, much better healthier, safer more stable world. That is going to be determined over the next 10 years. And Australia has to be part of that transformation.” (Julia Baird, Sydney Morning Herald, Christiana Figueres's superpower could save the planet).
Now, we add here, everybody on our planet, currently being overwhelmed by the global Covid-19 pandemic, needs to be encouraged to participate in many necessary global transformations in moving out of our current suffering into wise compassion and compassionate wisdom for everybody.

We ask you to support our children in their efforts to secure their lives in our common futures in their Global Climate Actions.
Children tend to pay attention to their sensory experiences in seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching all sorts of things in their immediate sensory worlds.
Many adults tend to pay more attention to their subtle thinking and feeling about all sorts of thinking and feeling.
Some adults tend to centre in a heartful wakefulness beyond gross sensory experiences and subtle thoughts and feelings yet includes with compassion and wisdom their gross and subtle experiences.
Let’s now ask here: When people talk about climate change and creating a safe climate world, what are they referring to in their world of meaning-making?
Are they referring mostly to their immediate sensory experiences of weather, such as more or less rain, sunshine, temperature, and wind today, this week, this month, this year, or over a number of years, decades, or centuries?
Or, are they referring to their hard-won educated understanding of subtle changes revealed and seen in climate sciences, such as changes in records in patterns of measurement in various streams of data over many years, decades, centuries or millenia?
Or, are they referring to their awareness of awareness, which includes various ways of meaning-making in seeing subtle changes in epistemic views, methods of inquiry, seen outcomes in valued productions in various increasingly re-defined disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, or trans-disciplinary readings of climate patterns on our planet?
Can we try, here and now, to work to see, inhabit, integrate, and hold altogether in our hearts, in our local, national and global groups, and in our various organisations, the various ways of meaning-making people enact in relation to climate change and try to enact in creating a safe climate world for the whole of life in body, mind, and spirit in all beings?
Looks like, in our current climate-ecological emergency, we need many more human beings to wake up into the profound universal heart of all beings, which reveals our oneness with all living beings, and to grow up our body-minds to become fully alive human beings with truly integrative identities with fully regenerative capabilities that are in mindful and heartful service for the well-being of all forms of life on our beloved planet.

We ask you to support our children in their efforts to secure their futures in their Global and Local Climate Actions.
As Kate Raworth said at the 2019 Reporting 3.0 Conference,
"We have an economy that is degenerative by design. It is literally running down the living planet, on which we depend. We have to completely reinvent that to make it regenerative by design, so that we work with and within the cycles of the living world."
As Greta Thunberg said at the 2019 United Nations Climate Action Summit, "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!
You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say: We will never forgive you.
We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not."
Our choice here is life!
What can we do to reduce, stop, and eventually reverse global warming?
In our response, we attempt to envision and explore an Integrative Climate Emergency Plan.
Preferably sooner, rather than later, we need to learn to live and work with each other to reduce, stop, and eventually reverse anthropogenic (human-induced) global warming by transforming our current dysfunctional global capitalism and our inadequate triple bottom line multi-capitalisms into an integrative, multi-dimensional, multi-capitalism.
In their responses to global warming, the IPCC, and other climate change activists, like the Club of Rome and the Stockholm Resilience Centre, tend to propose mainly eco-social pathways for rapid decarbonisation in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
But, in the context of our integrative multi-dimensional multi-capitalism, many of these eco-social pathways miss much too much in waking up the heart-spirit and in growing up the body-mind in personal choices, interpersonal relations, and eco-social organisations in human beings.
To overcome global capitalism’s current excesses in undermining societies with its exclusive focus on making profits, with its constant promotion of overconsuming greed, and with its mindless marginalisation of its destructive impacts on people and planet with anthropogenic global warming and an intensifying biodiversity extinction crisis – which looks like, given recent scientific (IPCC and IPBES) reports on our increasingly dire climate and biodiversity crises, if we continue with our current business as usual practices, that it will include the human species – we need to establish, at personal, interpersonal, household, local, regional, national, and global scales, an integrative, open, inclusive, green, regenerative, cyclical, transparent, agile, finely tuned, multi-dimensional multi-capitalism that functions to serve the thriveability of each and all human and living beings within our planet's natural limits as soon as possible.
In doing all of this, we will need to learn to live, grow, and work with each other within various habitats with various horizons on Mount Thriveability.

What needs to happen in our current climate and ecological emergency for people to work altogether to generate thriveable living conditions for current and future generations in the 2020s and beyond?
Karen O'Brien and Robin Leichenko at https://cchange.no/, and Gail Hochachka at https://integralwithoutborders.net/ have described 4 types of climate discourse: the biophysical discourse (climate change is an environmental problem), which focuses on earth systems sciences, and is prominent amongst scientists, policymakers, and the informed public; the critical discourse (climate change is a social problem), which draws attention to how political, economic, cultural, and social factors impact considerations on climate change; the dismissive discourse (climate change is no problem), which is to some degree alive in everyone, when we deny the evidence, downplay the importance, or regress to simpler immediate concerns in the face of climate change; and the integrative discourse (climate change is a complex problem, involving personal, political and practical dimensions), which attempts to inhabit and integrate altogether various epistemic views, methods of inquiry, and associated outcomes in these different discourses.
What we tend to see in many discussions in our climate and ecological emergency is that some people respond with proposals grounded primarily in their cultural heritages, some with proposals grounded primarily in their modern rational disciplines, and some with proposals grounded primarily in their post-modern inter-disciplinary and multi-cultural dialogues.
Usually, people advocating primarily out of their cultural heritage, or out of their modern rational discipline, or out of any worldcentric "all of us, humans, with dignity and respect for each person and all peoples" dialogue, will tend to talk past each other without attempting to inhabit and integrate each other's important voice altogether into an integrative orchestra of fully musical understanding.
In this paper, we attempt to introduce various voices that need to be heard, understood, and orchestrated altogether in the development of a climate and ecological emergency plan that is truly noetic and creative, fully integrative and wholly thriveable, and that allows each and all human and living beings to live and thrive in their lives within the natural limits of our planet in the 2020s and beyond.

Nature (understood as Matter-Life-Mind-Soul-Spirit in Qualitative Degrees of Being and Knowing, not as modernity’s Cartesian body-mind bifurcation, which radically reduces Nature to res extensae, measurable entities), religion (participation in Divine Qualities, like Beauty, Goodness, and Truth, from exterior observances to Heart-Centred Living in Universal Divine Love), arts and sciences (various qualitative and quantitative methods of knowing, in memory, sentiments, will, imagination, and reason), and morals-ethics (being true within oneself with each other), are now being recklessly undermined by economic elites (wealth supremacies), who are simply focused on accumulating power and material wealth for themselves.
Given such dire living conditions in Australia, the USA, and other nations, we must join with each other to restore human dignity and wellbeing for each person within the natural rhythms of Nature.
Now, maybe, we will truly stand with the UN Declaration of Human Rights?
Now, maybe, we will truly learn to Love Each Other with Heart-Centred Heartfulness?
Thus, “the great nightmare of scientific materialism was upon us (Whitehead)”, in our various post-truth worlds in recent decades.
Now, in the 2020s, our worlds continue to become ever more de-sacralized, de-natured, and dis-heartened. Verifications through measurements tend to be the only considerations in many settings.

Now, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth struggling with various tipping points of human-induced traumas, as clean air, natural waters, and fertile soils continue to be deliberately turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading, destroying, and undermining the habitats of many plants, many animals, and many human beings.
Here we ask: Can we change out of our current common toxic habits in Cartesian body-mind heartlessness? Can we participate ever more fully in all-inclusive Heartfulness, inhabiting universal compassion and deep wisdom for all living beings, in our tripartite Kosmos (Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
Said more simply, can human beings learn to love each other, to thrive with each other and with all living beings, at local, national and global scales, in relative harmony within “me”, in my life, with “us”, in our community, and with “all of life, altogether”, on our finite shared planet?
To regenerate life beyond our various climate, biodiversity, and resources shocks on our finite shared planet, we need everybody to thrive in Heart-soul-body, in each person, in our inter-personal relations, and in our eco-social organisations, within the ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats and matrices, and we need to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across all generations of all living beings.
In sum, to participate ever more fully in our personal (intentions, arts, crafts, morals, behaviours, skills), inter-personal (relations, ethics, cultures), and eco-social (ecological, social, political, economic, technological) worlds, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become ever more fully centred in our common Heart-Centred Humanity.
We hope, especially for the Wellbeing of Life in the lives of our young people in emerging generations in forthcoming years and decades, that we can regenerate Life in All of Us, Altogether, NOW.
In the 1920s, philosopher Alfred North Whitehead presented his findings on the dire consequences of Cartesian bifurcation, and the fallacy of misplaced concreteness.
In the 2020s, without deep consideration for Divine Qualities, like Beauty-Goodness-Truth, verifications through measurements are now authorised in many settings.
For many scientists, only measurements count; for many economists, only profits count; for many politicians, only the polling numbers count.
So, we externalize life in people, planet, and Divine Qualities from our current considerations
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have powered economic growth with heartless greed, producing wealth supremacies for economic elites, with the wellbeing of countless people degraded and with life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
So, we ask here: can we change from our current states of body-mind heartlessness into ever-present states of fully alive Heartfulness (One-in All, All-in-One) in our tripartite Kosmos (Tribhuvana in Vedic East, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
More simply, can human beings learn to love each other, thrive with each other and with all living beings, in relative harmony and shared peace on our one shared finite planet?
In this presentation, we try to hold various people with life-affirming values in Primal Traditions, Oriental Traditions, Abrahamic Traditions, Modern Sciences, Postmodern (critiques of modern) and Metamodern (modern + postmodern) Schools, ALTOGETHER.
To truly address our interacting personal, inter-personal, economic, socio-political, and ecological crises, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become deeply grounded in our common Heart-centred humanity.
To regenerate life on our one shared planet, we need everybody to learn to thrive in Heart-soul-body within the finite ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats-matrices, and we need everybody to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across all current and future generations of all living beings.
We hope, especially for our younger generations, that we can do so.
Living within our self-created ecological emergency, we need to decide NOW, as individuals in our various inter-personal communities in our various collective societies, do we want to continue, or not, with our current degenerative ways of living, exploiting in unsustainable ways both nature and human beings in pursuit of reckless economic growth, defined in diverse ways at local, national, and global scales as GDP, CSR, ESG, GPI, SDGs, irresponsible greed, ongoing intragenerational and intergenerational injustices et al.?
We warn here that each of these indicators of economic growth (GDP, CSR, ESG, GPI, SDGs et al.) fails to recognise: 1) our planet’s ecological thresholds - a planetary ethic that accepts full responsibility for sustaining the quality of our planet’s air, waters, lands, minerals, plants, and animals; and 2) fair social allocations – a gender ethic and an intergenerational ethic that accepts full responsibility for securing the full dignity, and for generating the full qualitative development in body, mind, soul, and heart, of each and every human being, within and across current and future generations, within all current societies.
Much better than continuing with our escalating ecocide and with our intensifying episodes of horrifying humanicide, which can be seen everywhere, most significantly with the general loss of Heart-Centred Values in modern, postmodern, and metamodern communities, we need to decide as individuals in our various communities in our various local, regional, national, and global societies to work with each other to move out of our current degenerative ways of living to regenerate altogether in individuals and communities the astonishing Beauty, Goodness, Truth, and other precious Divine Qualities that can be found in our Full Humanity and in the Wholeness of Nature.
One option opens into valuable thriving futures, leading into happiness for each and all; the other does not, remaining stuck in ceaseless compounding suffering.

“What I think we have been lacking is to be able to paint the picture to really build out in people's imagination what is an economy like Australia going to be like 10, 15 years from now when it has moved over to renewables? What does it mean for the quality of cities? What does it mean for the quality of agriculture? What does it mean for the Great Barrier Reef? What does it mean for camping in the bush safely without having to worry about ... fires? It is a much, much healthier, longer term, stable economy that we can definitely build, and must be built. But we haven't painted that picture very well. Hence, if you do not have a visual destination of the positive world that you want to construct, it's very difficult for people to gravitate there.”
So we must dream.
“Obviously, the doom and gloom makes us concerned, helpless, hopeless, despair, grief, all that family of sentiments that are important because we have to understand what is out there,” she said. “But we have not been able to point to the fact that actually now in this decade we are in the most consequential decade of the history of humankinds. Because over the next 10 years we will decide whether we are at one half the global emissions in order to be able to move on to much, much better healthier, safer more stable world. That is going to be determined over the next 10 years. And Australia has to be part of that transformation.” (Julia Baird, Sydney Morning Herald, Christiana Figueres's superpower could save the planet).
Now, we add here, everybody on our planet, currently being overwhelmed by the global Covid-19 pandemic, needs to be encouraged to participate in many necessary global transformations in moving out of our current suffering into wise compassion and compassionate wisdom for everybody.

We ask you to support our children in their efforts to secure their lives in our common futures in their Global Climate Actions.
Children tend to pay attention to their sensory experiences in seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching all sorts of things in their immediate sensory worlds.
Many adults tend to pay more attention to their subtle thinking and feeling about all sorts of thinking and feeling.
Some adults tend to centre in a heartful wakefulness beyond gross sensory experiences and subtle thoughts and feelings yet includes with compassion and wisdom their gross and subtle experiences.
Let’s now ask here: When people talk about climate change and creating a safe climate world, what are they referring to in their world of meaning-making?
Are they referring mostly to their immediate sensory experiences of weather, such as more or less rain, sunshine, temperature, and wind today, this week, this month, this year, or over a number of years, decades, or centuries?
Or, are they referring to their hard-won educated understanding of subtle changes revealed and seen in climate sciences, such as changes in records in patterns of measurement in various streams of data over many years, decades, centuries or millenia?
Or, are they referring to their awareness of awareness, which includes various ways of meaning-making in seeing subtle changes in epistemic views, methods of inquiry, seen outcomes in valued productions in various increasingly re-defined disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, or trans-disciplinary readings of climate patterns on our planet?
Can we try, here and now, to work to see, inhabit, integrate, and hold altogether in our hearts, in our local, national and global groups, and in our various organisations, the various ways of meaning-making people enact in relation to climate change and try to enact in creating a safe climate world for the whole of life in body, mind, and spirit in all beings?
Looks like, in our current climate-ecological emergency, we need many more human beings to wake up into the profound universal heart of all beings, which reveals our oneness with all living beings, and to grow up our body-minds to become fully alive human beings with truly integrative identities with fully regenerative capabilities that are in mindful and heartful service for the well-being of all forms of life on our beloved planet.

As Kate Raworth said at the 2019 Reporting 3.0 Conference,
"We have an economy that is degenerative by design. It is literally running down the living planet, on which we depend. We have to completely reinvent that to make it regenerative by design, so that we work with and within the cycles of the living world."
As Greta Thunberg said at the 2019 United Nations Climate Action Summit, "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!
You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say: We will never forgive you.
We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not."
Our choice here is life!
What can we do to reduce, stop, and eventually reverse global warming?
In our response, we attempt to envision and explore an Integrative Climate Emergency Plan.
Preferably sooner, rather than later, we need to learn to live and work with each other to reduce, stop, and eventually reverse anthropogenic (human-induced) global warming by transforming our current dysfunctional global capitalism and our inadequate triple bottom line multi-capitalisms into an integrative, multi-dimensional, multi-capitalism.
In their responses to global warming, the IPCC, and other climate change activists, like the Club of Rome and the Stockholm Resilience Centre, tend to propose mainly eco-social pathways for rapid decarbonisation in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
But, in the context of our integrative multi-dimensional multi-capitalism, many of these eco-social pathways miss much too much in waking up the heart-spirit and in growing up the body-mind in personal choices, interpersonal relations, and eco-social organisations in human beings.
To overcome global capitalism’s current excesses in undermining societies with its exclusive focus on making profits, with its constant promotion of overconsuming greed, and with its mindless marginalisation of its destructive impacts on people and planet with anthropogenic global warming and an intensifying biodiversity extinction crisis – which looks like, given recent scientific (IPCC and IPBES) reports on our increasingly dire climate and biodiversity crises, if we continue with our current business as usual practices, that it will include the human species – we need to establish, at personal, interpersonal, household, local, regional, national, and global scales, an integrative, open, inclusive, green, regenerative, cyclical, transparent, agile, finely tuned, multi-dimensional multi-capitalism that functions to serve the thriveability of each and all human and living beings within our planet's natural limits as soon as possible.
In doing all of this, we will need to learn to live, grow, and work with each other within various habitats with various horizons on Mount Thriveability.
Also, if you are curious, see Exploring Mount Thriveability: Towards Integrative Thriveability Pt. 2.

What needs to happen in our current climate and ecological emergency for people to work altogether to generate thriveable living conditions for current and future generations in the 2020s and beyond?
Karen O'Brien and Robin Leichenko at https://cchange.no/, and Gail Hochachka at https://integralwithoutborders.net/ have described 4 types of climate discourse: the biophysical discourse (climate change is an environmental problem), which focuses on earth systems sciences, and is prominent amongst scientists, policymakers, and the informed public; the critical discourse (climate change is a social problem), which draws attention to how political, economic, cultural, and social factors impact considerations on climate change; the dismissive discourse (climate change is no problem), which is to some degree alive in everyone, when we deny the evidence, downplay the importance, or regress to simpler immediate concerns in the face of climate change; and the integrative discourse (climate change is a complex problem, involving personal, political and practical dimensions), which attempts to inhabit and integrate altogether various epistemic views, methods of inquiry, and associated outcomes in these different discourses.
What we tend to see in many discussions in our climate and ecological emergency is that some people respond with proposals grounded primarily in their cultural heritages, some with proposals grounded primarily in their modern rational disciplines, and some with proposals grounded primarily in their post-modern inter-disciplinary and multi-cultural dialogues.
Usually, people advocating primarily out of their cultural heritage, or out of their modern rational discipline, or out of any worldcentric "all of us, humans, with dignity and respect for each person and all peoples" dialogue, will tend to talk past each other without attempting to inhabit and integrate each other's important voice altogether into an integrative orchestra of fully musical understanding.
In this paper, we attempt to introduce various voices that need to be heard, understood, and orchestrated altogether in the development of a climate and ecological emergency plan that is truly noetic and creative, fully integrative and wholly thriveable, and that allows each and all human and living beings to live and thrive in their lives within the natural limits of our planet in the 2020s and beyond.

Too many human beings are now living in “no” zones, with their human (corpus-psyche-spiritus) dignity, and their ecological (body-soul-spirit) habitats, being relentlessly damaged each day.
The USA, under the current administration, is heartless, unleashing massive waves of suffering at local, national, and international scales.
But other countries, like Australia, are also showing significant fragilities, as various provisional commitments to safeguard human rights in various communities, and to safeguard ecological habitats with their carrying capacities for clean air, natural waters, and thriving lands, falter under ongoing onslaughts of elite groups using their concentrated forces of power and material wealth.
Given these dire living conditions in Australia, the USA, and other nations, let us join with each other to restore human dignity and wellbeing for everybody within the natural rhythms of Nature.
Habitually, many people forget that their quantitative reductionisms undermine the Quality of Divine Qualities, like Beauty in Arts and Skills, Goodness in Persons, Interpersonal Relations and Cultures, and Collective Organisations, and Truth in Philosophies and Sciences, amongst Humanity’s Choirs of Heart-Centred Beings, and amidst Nature’s Orchestras of Living Beings.
Since the 1970s, many people with neoliberal values have externalized nature, individualized people, deregulated ethics, privatized public services, globalized local produce, efficiently turning many men and many women into mechanized, computerized, digitalized, robotized, insatiable “consumers”, thus dehumanising everybody within their all-consuming, degenerative, quality diminishing, supposedly “free”, toxic markets.
Overall, many people with neoliberal values have spent their lives focused on endless economic growth on our finite planet, pursuing ever more profits with heartless greed, at local, national, and global scales, powering the wealth supremacies of economic elites, while undermining, degrading, destroying development and wellbeing in billions of disheartened peoples in Indigenous, Primal, Oriental, Abrahamic, Modern, Postmodern and Metamodern cultures, with the Web of Life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
Now, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth struggling with various tipping points of human-induced traumas, as clean air, natural waters, and fertile soils continue to be deliberately turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, undermining, degrading, and destroying various habitats-matrices of plants, animals, and human beings.
Here we ask: 1. Can we change out of our current toxic habits in Cartesian body-mind heartlessness into Heart-centred versions of Seer (who) x Seeing (how) x Seen (what) dynamics? 2. Can we participate ever more fully in all-inclusive Heartfulness, inhabiting universal compassion and deep wisdom with all living beings, in our tripartite Kosmos (Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Svar-Bhuvas-Bhū in the Vedic Tribhuvana, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, Heart-soul-body in English)?
Said more simply, can human beings learn to love each other ever more fully, learn to thrive with each other and with all living beings, at local, national and global scales, in relative harmony within “me”, in my life, with “us”, in our community, and with “all of us, all of life, altogether”, on our finite planet?
To regenerate Life beyond our current biodiversity, climate, and resources supplies emergencies on our finite planet, we need everybody to thrive in Heart-soul-body, in each person, in our inter-personal relations, and in our eco-social organisations, within the ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats-matrices, and we need to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across all generations in all living beings.
In sum, to participate ever more fully in our personal (intentions, arts, crafts, morals, behaviours, skills), inter-personal (relations, ethics, cultures), and collective eco-social (ecological, social, political, economic, technological) worlds, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become ever more fully centred in our common Heart-Centred Humanity.
We hope, especially for the Wellbeing of Life in the lives of our young people in emerging generations in forthcoming years and decades, that we can regenerate Life in All of Us, Altogether, NOW.
Consequently, within our various post-truth worlds (exclusive religious fundamentalisms, exclusive scientisms, exclusive neoliberalisms, et al.), “the great nightmare of scientific materialism was upon us (Whitehead)”.
Now, in the 2020s, our modern worlds continue to become ever more desacralized, denatured, and disheartened. Verifications through measurements tend to be the only considerations in many settings. For many scientists, only their selected measurements count; for many economists, only their selected economic measures count; for many politicians, across the political spectrum from left to right, only their selected poll numbers count.
Habitually, modern people forget that quantitative reductionisms undermine the Quality of Divine Qualities, like Beauty in Arts and Skills, Goodness in Persons, Interpersonal Relations and Cultures, and Collective Organisations, and Truth in Philosophies and Sciences, amongst Humanity’s Choirs of Heart-Centred Beings, and amidst Nature’s Orchestras of Living Beings.
Since the 1970s, many people with neoliberal values have spent their lives focused on endless economic growth on our finite shared planet, pursuing ever more profits with heartless greed, powering the wealth supremacies of economic elites, at local, national, and global scales, while degrading and undermining the development and wellbeing of billions of marginalised peoples, with the web of life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
In other words, while accumulating their stores of financial wealth, many people with neoliberal values have externalized nature, individualized people, deregulated ethics, privatized public services, globalized local produce, efficiently turning many men and many women into mechanized, computerized, digitalized, robotized, insatiable “consumers”, thus dehumanising everybody within their toxic, all-consuming, degenerative, quality diminishing, supposedly “free” markets.
Now, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth struggling with various tipping points of human-induced traumas, as clean air, natural waters, and fertile soils continue to be deliberately turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading, destroying, and undermining the habitats of many plants, many animals, and many human beings.
Yet, despite undermining everything, including personal dignity, interpersonal relations, and eco-social worlds, with their quantifiable reductionisms, too many people continue to shut down any concerns they may have for the Quality of Divine Qualities, the Quality of the Lives of various Peoples, and the overall Quality of Life on our planet, in their normal everyday considerations.
Here we ask: 1. Can we change out of our current toxic habits in Cartesian body-mind heartlessness into better versions of seer (who) x seeing (how) x seen (what) dynamics? 2. Can we participate in all-inclusive Heartfulness, inhabiting universal compassion and deep wisdom with all living beings, in our tripartite Kosmos (Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Svar-Bhuvas-Bhū in Vedic Tribhuvana, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
Said more simply, can human beings learn to love each other, learn to thrive with each other and with all living beings, at local, national and global scales, in relative harmony within “me”, in my life, with “us”, in our community, and with “all of life, altogether”, on our finite shared planet?

We hope, especially for the Wellbeing of Life in the lives of our young people in emerging generations in forthcoming years and decades, that we can regenerate Life in All of Us, Altogether, NOW.
Please remember, with our current commitments to our current sets of values and behaviors, we are generating the futures of our children, and of all children, on our finite shared planet!
This paper is a 10-page summary of my recent work in 2024.
Here is my submission to https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Environment_and_Communications/DutyofCareBill.
Can human beings ever live with each other, thriving altogether in peace?
Here we try to see people from Primal traditions, Oriental traditions, Semitic traditions, Modern schools, Postmodern schools, and Metamodern schools, ALTOGETHER!
Although appearances suggest human beings are different from each other in many ways, nevertheless, all of us participate in various ways in our common humanity.
Creative constructive responses for our personal, social, and ecological problems, at local, national, and global scales, need to be grounded in our common humanity.
Wherever we are on our planet, we see life on earth under stress, as clean air, waters, soils, bodies, and minds continue to become dirty air, waters, soils, bodies, and minds.
Can we change from our current modern body-mind heartlessness into truly Noetic Heartfulness (One-in All, All-in-One) in our Tripartite Kosmos (the Tribhuvana in the Vedic East, Pneuma/Nous-Rūḥ/‘Aql-Spiritus/Intellectus-Heart, psyche-nafs-anima-soul, and soma-jism-corpus-body, in Greek-Arabic-Latin-English)?
Can we change from working within the current collapse of nature and humanity into living for the true care of people and all forms of life on our planet?
Can human beings learn to live with each other, thriving with each other, in relative harmony and shared peace?
In this presentation, we strive to hold people with life-affirming values within Primal traditions, Oriental traditions, Semitic traditions, Modern schools, Postmodern schools, and Metamodern schools, ALTOGETHER!
Although appearances suggest human beings are different from each other in numerous ways, nevertheless, all of us participate in numerous ways in our common humanity and in our community of all living beings.
To truly address our various personal, inter-personal, social, and ecological problems, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become grounded in our common humanity and in the community of all living beings in fully heartful ways.
Everybody living well within the ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats and with secure allocations of social foundations for everybody is what we need to do.
In the 1920s, Alfred North Whitehead presented his readings on Cartesian body-mind bifurcation, highlighting the dire consequences of Cartesian bifurcation for modern philosophy.
In the 2020s, verifications through measurements tend to be the only approved considerations in many modern settings. But these authorised reductionisms tend to disqualify the Quality of Divine Qualities, like Beauty in Arts and Skills, Goodness in Relations and Cultures, and Truth in Sciences, in Humanity’s Choirs of Heart-Centred Beings, and in Nature’s Orchestras of Living Beings.
For many modern scientists, only their selected measurements count; for many modern economists, only their selected measures of economic growth count; for many modern politicians, only their selected poll numbers count.
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have powered endless economic growth, at local, national, and global scales, on our finite planet, with heartless greed pursuing ever more profits, accelerating wealth supremacies for economic elites, degrading and undermining the development and wellbeing of countless people, with the web of life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
Now, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth struggling under increasing loads of human-induced stress, as clean air, natural waters, and fertile soils continue to be turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading and destroying the habitats of many plants, many animals, and many human beings.
Thus, we tend to see today many people persistently marginalizing any concerns for the Quality of Divine Qualities, for the Quality of the Lives of People, and for the Quality of Life on our planet from their normal considerations.
Here we ask: can we change out of our current toxic habits in Cartesian body-mind heartlessness into inhabiting ever more fully all-inclusive Heartfulness in our tripartite Kosmos (Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
More simply, can human beings learn to love each other, learn to thrive with each other and with all living beings, at local, national and global scales, in relative harmony from “me” to “us” to “all of life, altogether” on our one shared finite planet?
In this presentation, we try to connect with people inhabiting life-affirming values within various Primal, Oriental, Abrahamic, Modern, Postmodern, Metamodern, and Other Schools, ALTOGETHER.
To regenerate life on our one shared planet, we need to learn to thrive in Heart-soul-body, in each person, in our inter-personal relations, and in our eco-social organisations, within the ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats and matrices, and we need to learn to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across current and future generations of all living beings.
We hope, especially for the Quality and Wellbeing of Life in our young people in our younger generations in forthcoming years and decades, that we can regenerate life in all of us, altogether, NOW.

For many modern scientists, only their selected measurements count; for many modern economists, only their selected measures of economic growth count; for many modern politicians, only their selected poll numbers count.
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have powered endless economic growth for many businesses and their shareholders on our finite planet, with heartless greed pursuing ever more profits, accelerating wealth supremacies for economic elites, at local, national, and global scales, while degrading and undermining the development and wellbeing of many marginalised people, with the web of life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
Now, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth struggling under increasing loads of human-induced stress, as clean air, natural waters, and fertile soils continue to be turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading and destroying the habitats of many plants, many animals and many human beings.

To regenerate life on our shared planet, we need to thrive in Heart-soul-body, in each person, in our inter-personal relations, and in our eco-social organisations, within the ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats and matrices, and we need to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across current and future generations of all living beings.
We hope, especially for the Wellbeing of Life in the lives of our young people in our emerging generations in forthcoming years and decades, that we can regenerate Life in all of us, altogether, NOW.
In the 1920s, Alfred North Whitehead presented his readings on Cartesian bifurcation, highlighting the dire consequences of Cartesian body-mind bifurcation for modern philosophy.
Now, in the 2020s, verifications through measurements tend to be the only authorised considerations in many settings, disqualifying the Quality of Divine Qualities, like the Quality of Beauty, Goodness, and Truth, in Humanity’s Choirs of Heart-Centred Artists, and in Nature’s Orchestras of Living Beings.
For many scientists, only their selected measurements count; for many economists, only their selected measures of economic growth count; for many politicians, only their selected poll numbers count.
Consequently, many modern people today tend to marginalize any concerns for the Quality of Divine Qualities, for the Quality of the lives of people, and for the Quality of life on our planet from their normal considerations.
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have been allowed to power economic growth, at local, national, and global scales, with heartless greed, accelerating wealth supremacies for economic elites, thus decelerating and degrading the development and wellbeing of countless people, with the web of life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
Now, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth struggling under increasing loads of human-induced stress, as clean air, natural waters, and fertile soils continue to be turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading and destroying the habitats of many plants, many animals, and many human beings.
So, we ask here: can we change out of our current toxic habits in body-mind heartlessness into participating ever more fully in all-inclusive Heartfulness in our tripartite Kosmos (Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, Heart-soul-body in English, and Tribhuvana in Vedic India)?
More simply, can human beings learn to love each other, learn to thrive with each other and with all living beings, at local, national and global scales, in relative harmony on our one shared finite planet?
In this presentation, we try to connect with people inhabiting life-affirming values within various Primal, Oriental, Abrahamic, Modern, Postmodern, Metamodern, and Other Schools, ALTOGETHER.
To regenerate life on our one shared planet, we need to learn to thrive in Heart-soul-body, in each person, in our inter-personal relations, and in our eco-social organisations, within the ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats and matrices, and we need to learn to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across current and future generations of all living beings.
We hope, especially for the Quality of life of our young people in our younger generations in their forthcoming years and decades, that we can do so now.
Now, in the 2020s, verifications through measurements tend to be the only authorised considerations in many settings, disqualifying the quality of Divine Qualities, like Beauty, Goodness, and Truth, in Nature’s orchestras of living beings and in Humanity’s choirs of heart-centred singers.
For many scientists, only their selected measurements count; for many economists, only their selected measures of economic growth count; for many politicians, only their selected poll numbers count.
Consequently, many modern people today tend to marginalize and externalize the quality of Divine Qualities, the quality of the lives of people, and the quality of life on our planet from their normal considerations.
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have been allowed to power economic growth with heartless greed, producing wealth supremacies for economic elites, with the development and wellbeing of countless people degraded, and with the web of life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
Now, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth struggling to survive under increasing loads of human-induced stress, as clean air, natural waters, and fertile soils continue to be turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading and destroying the habitats of many plants, many animals, and many human beings.
So, we ask here: can we change out of our current toxic habits in body-mind heartlessness into fully alive Heartfulness in our tripartite Kosmos (Tribhuvana in Vedic East, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, and Heart-soul-body in English)?

In this presentation, we try to connect with people with life-affirming values within various Primal, Oriental, Abrahamic, Modern, Postmodern, and Metamodern Schools, ALTOGETHER.
To truly address our interacting personal, inter-personal, socio-political, economic, and ecological crises, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become deeply grounded in our common Heart-centred humanity.
To regenerate life on our one shared planet, we need to learn to thrive in Heart-soul-body, in each person, in our inter-personal relations, and in our eco-social organisations, within the finite ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats and matrices, and we need to learn to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across current and future generations of all living beings.

Now, in the 2020s, verifications through measurements tend to be the only authorised considerations in many settings, disqualifying the quality of Divine Qualities, like Beauty, Goodness, and Truth.
For many scientists, only their selected measurements count; for many economists, only their profits count; for many politicians, only their polling numbers count.
Thus, many people today tend to externalize the lives of people, life on our planet, and Divine Qualities from their normal considerations.
Hence, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth under increasing stress, as clean air, natural waters, and fertile soils continue to be turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading and destroying the habitats of many plants, many animals, and many human beings.
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have been allowed to power economic growth with heartless greed, producing wealth supremacies for economic elites, with the wellbeing of countless people degraded and with life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
So, we ask here: can we change from our current patterns in body-mind heartlessness into fully alive Heartfulness in our tripartite Kosmos (Tribhuvana in Vedic East, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
More simply, can human beings learn to love each other, thrive with each other and all living beings, in relative harmony on our one shared finite planet?
In this presentation, we try to hold various people with life-affirming values within Primal, Oriental, Abrahamic, Modern, Postmodern, and Metamodern Schools, ALTOGETHER.
To truly address our interacting personal, inter-personal, socio-political, economic, and ecological crises, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become deeply grounded in our common Heart-centred humanity.
To regenerate life on our one shared planet, we need everybody to learn to thrive in Heart-soul-body within the finite ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats-matrices, and learn to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across current and future generations of all living beings.
We hope, especially for our younger generations, that we can do so.
In the 2020s, with Divine Qualities, like Beauty-Goodness-Truth, disqualified, verifications through measurements are now the only authorisations considered in many settings.
Now, for many scientists, only measurements count; for many economists, only profits count; for many politicians, only the polling numbers count.
Thus, we externalize people, life on our planet, and Divine Qualities from our current considerations.
Now, wherever we live on our precious planet, we see life on earth under increasing stress, as clean air, fresh waters, and fertile soils continue to be turned into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading and destroying the habitats of many plants, many animals, and many human beings.
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have powered economic growth with heartless greed, producing wealth supremacies for economic elites, with the wellbeing of countless people degraded and with life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
So, we ask here: can we change from body-mind heartlessness into fully alive Heartfulness (One-in All, All-in-One) in our tripartite Kosmos (Tribhuvana in Vedic East, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
More simply, can human beings learn to love each other, thrive with each other and all living beings, in relative harmony and shared peace on our one shared finite planet?
In this presentation, we try to hold various people with life-affirming values in Primal, Oriental and Semitic Traditions, Modern Sciences, Postmodern (critiques of modern) and Metamodern (modern + postmodern) Schools, ALTOGETHER.
To truly address our various interacting personal, inter-personal, economic, socio-political, and ecological crises, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become deeply grounded in our common Heart-centred humanity.

In the 1920s, philosopher Alfred North Whitehead forewarned his colleagues about the dire consequences of Cartesian bifurcation.
In the 2020s, verifications through measurements are now authorised in many settings, without much consideration for Divine Qualities, like Beauty-Goodness-Truth.
Now, for many scientists, only measurements count; for many economists, only profits count.
Thus, since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have powered economic growth with heartless greed, producing wealth supremacies for economic elites, with the wellbeing of countless people degraded and with life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
So, we ask: can we change from our current alienated states of body-mind heartlessness into ever-present states of Noetic Heartfulness (One-in All, All-in-One) in our tripartite Kosmos (Tribhuvana in Vedic East, Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, and Heart-soul-body in English)?

To truly address our various interacting personal, inter-personal, economic, socio-political, and ecological crises, at local, national, and global scales, we need to become deeply grounded in our common humanity and we need to participate ever more fully in interactive communities with all living beings in truly heartful ways.
To regenerate life on our one shared planet, we need everybody to learn to thrive in Heart-soul-body within the finite ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats-matrices, and we need everybody to learn to inhabit secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across all current and future generations of all living beings.
We hope, especially for our younger generations, that we can do so.
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have powered economic growth with heartless greed, producing escalating private profits for economic elites, with the wellbeing of countless people degraded and with life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
In the 1920s, Alfred North Whitehead described the dire limitations of Cartesian bifurcation.
Now, for many scientists, only measurements count; for many economists, only profits count.
In the 2020s, verifications through measurements continue to be unleashed in many settings, with limited regard for Divine Qualities, like Beauty-Goodness-Truth.
So, we ask here: can we change from our current alienated states of body-mind heartlessness into ever-present states of Noetic Heartfulness (One-in All, All-in-One) in our tripartite Kosmos (the Tribhuvana in the Vedic East, Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, and Heart-soul-body in English)?

In the 1920s, Alfred North Whitehead described the dire limitations of Cartesian bifurcation.
In the 2020s, the mania for verifications through Cartesian measurements continues to intensify in many settings.
For many scientists, only measurements count.
For many economists, only profits count.
Since the 1970s, we have seen neoliberal policies power economic growth with heartless greed, producing escalating private wealth for economic elites, with the wellbeing of countless people and of much of life on our planet paying shocking unsustainable prices.
So, we ask here: Can we change from our current alienated states of body-mind heartlessness into ever-present states of Noetic Heartfulness (One-in All, All-in-One) in our tripartite Kosmos (the Tribhuvana in the Vedic East, Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
More simply, can we change from working within the current collapse of nature and humanity into living truly for the dedicated care of all peoples and all forms of life on our planet?

To regenerate life on our one shared planet in forthcoming days, months, years, and decades, we need everybody to learn to thrive in Heart-soul-body within the finite ecological thresholds of our planet’s various habitats-matrices, and we need everybody to learn to inhabit in Heart-soul-body secure social foundations with fair social allocations for everybody with everybody in shared practices of inter-generational justice across all current and future generations of all living beings.
We hope, especially for our younger generations, we can do so.
Wherever we live on our planet, we continue to see life on earth under increasing stress, as clean air, fresh waters, and fertile soils continue to turn into dirty air, polluted waters, and wasted soils, degrading and destroying the habitats of plants, animals, and many human beings.
Can we change from inhabiting our current states of body-mind heartlessness into inhabiting the living conditions of Noetic Heartfulness (One-in All, All-in-One) in our Tripartite Kosmos (the Tribhuvana in the Vedic East, Pneuma/Nous-psyche-soma in Greek, Rūḥ/‘Aql-nafs-jism in Arabic, Spiritus/Intellectus-anima-corpus in Latin, and Heart-soul-body in English)?
More simply, can we change from working casually within the current collapse of nature and humanity into living for the dedicated care of all peoples and all forms of life on our planet?
