The essay reimagines history as an unfinished, living relationship among past, present, and future. Drawing on Benjamin, Gebser, Horvat, and McLuhan, it proposes “rhizome time”: an integrative, nonlinear view in which latent possibilities from the past can be reactivated in the present, opening new possibilities for creatively shaping the future.
A Choctaw author reframes migration through Indigenous wisdom, revealing how humanity's deepest journeys can lead from exile and loss to renewal and a shared positive future.
Our first article (Kosmos, Spring / Summer 2012) gave an overview of the new human capacity we are starting to articulate—that we call Collective Presencing, the purpose of which is to allow us to systematically achieve collective wisdom. We described the two distinct phases that we see unfolding as a collection of individuals learns to become a collective capable of employing this capacity on behalf of the whole: firstly, becoming a circle of presence, then becoming a circle of creation.
In this contemplative reflection, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee questions whether artificial intelligence can genuinely support spiritual growth. Contrasting AI’s reliance on accumulated past data with the timeless awareness of the awakened heart, he argues that real transformation arises from inner stillness, love, and reconnection with Earth—not technological acceleration.
The fears around AI are real. But it's not AI that we have to necessarily fear - it's us.
Martina Moneke explores Carl Jung’s notion of synchronicity—the mysterious convergence of inner experience and external event that carries symbolic significance. Using Jung’s famous “golden scarab” story as a point of departure, the essay explores how such moments suggest a more profound coherence in reality, one in which psyche and matter reflect a shared source.
Svetomir Karovski explores AI not as a threat but as a potential catalyst for humanity’s spiritual evolution. Drawing on mystical experiences in the Andes and rural life in Serbia, he frames AI as a mirror of human consciousness—capable of amplifying greed or guiding us toward love, coherence, and divinity.
This essay recalls the roots of ecological politics in Indigenous traditions, contrasts them with Western thought, and links them to the modern environmental movement. Recalling ancestral wisdom and women’s knowledge, it envisions a revolution of love, wisdom, and compassion—recovering what was lost to guide humanity toward a more harmonious, life-serving future.
This deeply embodied essay invites readers to shift from a human-centered, extractive model of intelligence toward a wide-boundary, relational understanding rooted in entanglement. By engaging AI, collapse, and the wisdom of rocks through a posthuman lens, it calls us to metabolize modernity’s delusions and participate in a shared, emergent intelligence—one that listens, learns, and co-creates with all of life.
Drawing from physics, music, and sacred practice, the piece invites readers to perceive mind and universe as intertwined in a grand symphony of coherence.
