What is the role of discontinuities in evolution? Some come from outside the system in question (e.g. large meteors striking Earth), others are a result of evolutionary processes in the system itself (e.g. humans developing domestication). What discontinuities are we likely to face, what discontinuities do we want to generate?

Is it hubris to imagine we can steer evolution? Is it folly — for awake, conscious people — to NOT steer?

Is "the collective" merely an assemblage of individuals, or is there an intelligent field that members of a collective participate in? If the latter, how does such a field arise and develop its "soul" — the integrity and tenderness that allows individuals to participate without fear? Do such fields persist once the individuals leave the space? Do they influence other individuals and fields? How are they like — and not like — the fields we each recognize and work with called our individual selves?

What is life?

Can we invite and engage in a co-creative partnership with energies and allies from other than physical levels of reality?

What can emerge now?
