Today on Post-Progressive Inquiries I explore the contours of the next stage of human development with psychiatrist and futurist Charles M. Johnston. Charles has just released two new books exploring an emerging way of thinking that he calls the “integrative meta-perspective”.

As Charles explains, “Our work today is to bring big-picture, long-term perspectives to the human condition. While these kinds of insights can initially stretch people’s understanding, with time, most people find them seeming like common sense. What is new is that this is a degree of common sense that before now we could not have fully grasped — or tolerated. It would have overwhelmed us. Today, it has become essential.”

I hope you enjoy our conversation and check out his latest books:

Creative Systems Theory—A Comprehensive Theory of Purpose,Change, and Interrelationship In Human Systems (With Particular Pertinence to Understanding the Times We Live In and the Tasks Ahead for the Species) 
Perspective and Guidance for a Time of Deep Discord: Why We See Such Extreme Social and Political Polarization—And What We Can Do About It.

Post-Progressive Inquiries is a co-production of the Institute for Cultural Evolution and the Daily Evolver Podcast. Steve McIntosh will join the series in the next episode.

✏️  Lyrics
On fire
Time to call for help I just
Can't stop myself
Always
Turn it up till we overflow
This chase
Heating up now and we'll race
Til sundown
Just promise me you aint tryna go slow
(Still so much you don't know)

So far beyond the small talk, hey
Just meet me on the boardwalk, say
What you want. no doubt. no doubts
So far beyond the small talk, hey
Just kiss me on the sidewalk, stay
Boy I’m gonna call you out
No doubt
I'mma call you out

call you out

Hey folks,

This week I look at a rising star in the mainstream commentariat: Peter Zeihan.

To me he is a good example of a proto-integral thinker in that he is a master synthesizer, weaving compelling narratives about our world that include economics, demography, geography, politics and history. He gives me a far more integrated understanding of a variety of issues from the Russia / Ukraine war to the workings of the drug cartels, to “Is it Oklahoma’s time to shine?”

Yet, as with so many contemporary thinkers, his analysis misses the core value of integral thinking: that human consciousness and cultures have evolved and that they continue to. In this episode, I look at this missing piece that integral thinking offers, and which adds an invaluable element to any analysis of human events.

I hope you enjoy the episode! - Jeff Salzman

The Masaladosa continent, which lies between Asia and Europe, brings us a spicy mix of Indian and Modern music. These five French musicians have travelled the world, from London to Calcutta, from Jamaica to Rajasthan, bringing back a hypnotic sound and contagious energy. Accompanying the mystic oscillations of the sitar are percussions and ragas brought from India, but also Jamaican grooves, World, Dub, Drum n' Bass, gently salted with a touch of electro: a surprising blend of Indian and Modern sounds.

Spiralling melodies ascending to elastic rhythms, MASALADOSA has found a middle path between traditional instruments, studied with Masters in India and pounded local samples. A spiritual and high-sounding meal to be tasted live! Once on stage MASALADOSA gives it their all, breaking borders and overpowering the senses.

In today’s episode I am the guest of Stephen T. Harper as he kicks off his new podcast, “What’s Your Theory?”, where he interviews people who have “good answers to big questions about how the world works.”  And do I have a theory for him!

One of the key tenets of integral theory is that human consciousness and culture evolve, and that’s where Steve and I focus. With his enthusiastic curiosity and flex-flow mind, Steve helps me map the “evolution of the interior” from the dawn of humanity to the present day where integral theory is so helpful for making sense of our world.  

While this podcast is an introduction to the principles of consciousness and cultural evolution, we use plenty of up-to-the minute topics and headlines to tell the story. Established students of integral theory will get a refresher, and newbies will get a good download of a foundational integral insight. If you have friends who are interested in an integral on-ramp, this is a conversation you might consider sharing with them as well.

Here’s more about Stephen Harper and his new podcast:   

“What’s Your Theory…?” is a conversation and interview podcast featuring smart people with good answers to big questions about how the world works. Science, spirituality, politics, philosophy, physics, metaphysics, current events and culture… no topic is off limits as long as there is an interesting theory behind it. Are human beings only flesh and blood? Do we live, die… and that’s it? What is consciousness? What is the soul? How did we get here? What are we supposed to be doing while we’re here? Is life a school? A prison? A particularly awesome vacation spot? Is anybody actually driving this boat? Why can’t science and spirituality get along…?

My name is Stephen T. Harper. I am the author of the Kings X Saga, a series of novels blending contemporary fantasy and world history to imagine the single greatest conspiracy of all time – the only conspiracy – the ancient and ongoing work to prevent you from knowing who and what you truly are. A lot of research goes into writing these books – a lot of questions and then a lot of answers that often create more questions. This podcast is my chance to ask and discuss them all with very smart and interesting people.

The 50,000 Year Culture War

Today Jeff visits with integralist Tom Curren, who has launched a new non-profit initiative with the goal to Change the Rules of the American political system. Tom has identified four structural problems in American politics that exacerbate the electorate’s most tribal impulses:

How the election system sorts for a “lesser of two evils” choice 
Why the most extreme ideologues have disproportionate power 
The big money machine that is successfully enriching its clients
Barriers to large scale citizen participation 

Our political system seems to be carved in constitutional stone, but actually many of its most dysfunctional rules are not in the constitution, and have been built up to support the business of politics. Listen as Tom explains a series of non-flashy, non-partisan strategies (ballot initiatives, legal challenges and legislative pressures) that are already proving to drain the swamps in states and municipalities across the nation..  

While The Daily Evolver usually focuses on integrating the polarities arising in consciousness and culture, this episode offers exciting, third-person structural solutions with high leverage. Tom also offers listeners an efficient way to participate personally on-the-ground in their communities.

Tom Curren is founder of Hawthorne Consultants, a firm specialized in the integration of strategy and organization change. Find out more about his new non-profit, Change The Rules.

The Daily Evolver

New Structures to Drain the Swamp

you are the light
and i’m afraid of the dark
be you on your way
its a long way to fall
another chance is all
i’m asking for

"and like a lark 
at the break of day arising"
be that as it may
its a long road to crawl
another day is all
I’m asking for

When will you see?

you left your dress
inside,
the mirror candle
caught the floor on fire
shadows paint the wall
I wish that you would call before I …

I’m still a long way from home
running with this crowd while you're alone
and i can’t seem to get it right
no answers to the questions of the night

so call me back
call me unkind
be that as it may
in my life you know
you know that you are all I’m waiting for

Why can’t you see?

Normally Sunray Project focuses on producing world music collaborators, but this time I decided to remix an original acoustic song that is featured on my other Soundcloud "Jason Ray McKenzie".  This song does, however, feature a sarangi solo by the late great pandit Ramesh Misra.


Big mandala, fractals made of light
geometric patterns enveloping my sight
mathematic visuals never seen before with eyes
large circle spinning, my ego slowly dies

Through the doorway onto an empty plane
Is this a higher dimension or am I going insane?
I’ve been spotted, now they’re coming near
I can’t speak words, but my thoughts they seem to hear

Wel…come third-dimensional being
we looove to watch you dance and sing
vibrations are everything
and love too, we love you

A woman smiling, chakras burst with light
transparent body I’m no longer feeling fright
more women appearing, a princess being wed
one wags her finger as my eyes follow her to bed

Wel…come third-dimensional being 
be ca….reful of things to which you cling
vibrations are everything
and love too, we love you

They’re blowing kisses, it seems they have to leave
One points her finger at something on the right of my sleeve
She lifts a hatch door and waves to me goodbye
The others follow, slammed door opens my eyes


Farewell third-dimensional being 
You’re powerful beyond measuring
vibrations are everything
and love too, we love you
