Merry, P: Volution

Volution is a profound way of seeing ourselves, our world and the process of life that allows us to integrate our deep felt sense of interconnectedness and the dynamic self-organising reality that the new sciences describe to us. Transcending yet including the linear models of evolution, time and space that emerged through the Western scientific-rational mindset, volution restores more indigenous organic perspectives to their rightful place alongside our modern worldview, creating an integrated story of our journey as Earth. In seeing ourselves and the wider world through this lens, we naturally start to be and act in ways that are more aligned with the life process itself, increasing our chances as humanity of playing a constructive, co-creative role with all the forms of life that are part of our worlds.
