The
Spiral Letters is a selected collection of postings made to the Spiral Dynamics
Integral (SDi) listserve over a five year period (2003-2008). It documents the
evolution of my thinking about money within an integral context and
community.
As Book One of New Currency is in the final stages and set to hit bookstores by the end of the year, I was reflecting on the development of many of these ideas over the past 6 years. Much of this book was born after reading Silvio Gesell while studying at the Art Institute of Chicago. The whole was there as early as 2003, but it has taken this long to pierce the veil and articulate the relationship between money and human consciousness.
During this time, I developed many of the essential ideas in the framework of Spiral Dynamics Integral (SDi), and posted these theses and ideas on Dr. Don Beck's SDi listserve over the years within a community of integral thinkers, doers and wizards. I thought it might be interesting to post a number of them here to give a sense of the book's evolution over that time period. These will be found in the Spiral Letters category.
This process was often one of learning to get out of my own way in order to develop a more complete understanding between money, economic systems and human subjectivity: consciousness. In this sense the listserve posts were invaluable and I am grateful to those who have provided feedback, encouragement, and critiques over the years.
