The Circle of Presence: Building the Capacity for Authentic Collective Wisdom
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.
AI & Spiritual Life | A Simple Reflection
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.
Living with Uncertainty | Symbiogenesis, AI and the Human
The fears around AI are real. But it's not AI that we have to necessarily fear - it's us.
The Coincidence of Meaning
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.
When AI Remembers the Divine
Svetomir Karovski explores AI not as a threat but as a potential catalyst for humanity’s spiritual evolution.

Original Politics and the Future of Love
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.
Smart As a Rock | Reframing Our Relationship to Intelligence
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.
Quantum Consciousness: The Symphony of Existence
Drawing from physics, music, and sacred practice, the piece invites readers to perceive mind and universe as intertwined in a grand symphony of coherence.
Wikipedia | Pioneers of Large-Scale Collaboration
Launched in 2001 as a wild experiment in crowdsourcing, Wikipedia has become the most expansive, accurate, and resilient encyclopedia in history. This essay reflects on the unlikely success of this self-organizing, volunteer-driven project and what it reveals about intelligence, collaboration, and the deeper evolutionary potential of freely shared knowledge in a connected world.
