What is a technological advance? Projecting forward beyond our means in
pursuit of accomplishment?

Technology is only concerned with one quadrant
of the Integral Theory approach which limits us to the superfluous tangible
environments.
‘Integral theory is concerned with integrating, or bringing into
relationship, knowledge fragmented between specialisms’ (Peter Buchanan)
To achieve a ‘sustainable’ future, we cannot
merely rely on technological advancements.
To take a step away from physical technological is also an advancement
moving forward. Enlightening our
conscious and sub-conscious to the realization that we need to change a train
of thought on how we perceive the world and our environments is crucial to our
evolution.
Summarizing our essential needs into;
moving, dwelling, eating, making and breathing draws us back to the fundamental
elements of being. For we have evolved
into a race of doing, not BEING. The
majority of beings have evolved in a world that admires mostly technological
advancements. And in doing so, we have
created a world of machines. Our focus,
our energy is absorbed into a superficial world. Wipe the slate clean – impossible. Create a notion, a movement, a energy towards
an integral way of life, which I believe is the only solution evolution. A BALANCE
