^ “I have, for some 30 years, been somehow involved with technologies beyond anything we presently consider possible or interesting. These are the underlying features of the nature of human consciousness, and, particularly, our relationships with representational frameworks, objects and schemas. I have been learning and exploring the technologies we lost when we became compelled by their physical corollaries — the abstract ‘functions’ of physics, mathematics and machines.

Our species has been in furious pursuit of the deadliest branches of our representational endowments many thousand of years. If we are to survive, if we are to know anything whatsoever of the actual nature and potentials of these facutlies, we must establish actively developmental positions on the other branch. This is the original branch of our human intelligence, and it has been catastrophically compromised by our experience of the evolution of representational consciousness and the dominant modes and results of this abjectly misguided history.

We must actively divert our concerns and attentions from their long and common anchors in order to penetrate the peculiarly contagious results of our developmental histories and contexts. We may then together establish a new frontier of human interest, intelligence, activity and concern. One that is authentic in its organs, nature, relations and enactions.

It is, of course, the oldest frontier, but it has been uniquely abandoned and ignored in each epoch and place. We shall become the pioneers of our own nature and potential, together, and re-establish our senses and capacities to understand and acquire skillful relation with the assets and faculties that are native to our biological, ecological and relational natures.

The true frontier is neither space nor science. We presently stand before a variety of doorways that lead to irredeemable futures for our people and world. There are a few that lead somewhere else… to the origins and purposive imperatives implicit in our bodies and minds. These cannot be stated; they are not formulaic, but they can be discovered, made true in our sense and experience, and embodied.

We stand at a decision point. I made mine long ago, and I invite you and those who are bold enough to forge our agreement and action into something that will take us beyond culture and technology — into their origins and potentials. With and for each other, and the history and future of life on Earth. With and for the myriad intelligences here embodied, involved, and directly concerned.

Now.”
