Life is a unified reality, and so are living systems. To architect, design, and steward for thrivability means to act from unitive consciousness, with care for each other and the Earth.

6.1.0 Start from the premise that consciousness is primary and foundational. Consciousness is who we all are, and not something we have or own.

6.1.1 Dispel the illusion of separation. Life is informationally unified at all levels and scales of existence.

6.1.2 Honor our unity in diversity and the interdependence of being.

The universe is whole, unified, and interdependent. Our wholeness is intrinsic and nested within larger wholenesses. We bring each other forth, and we can also bring each other down.

6.2.0 Apply wholeness principles based on fractal informational patterns that scale holistically and are sourced from the implicate orders of the Cosmos. Start a creative cycle from a trinity (a unity of three interactive elements), to avoid dualistic polarization when a system grows more diverse and complex.

6.2.1 Use evolutionary archetypes, instead of dualized models, for growing, developing, and evolving our lives and societies.

6.2.2 Steward healthy diversity to support ecosystemic resilience, evolutionary learning, and ecosystemic development.

Living systems grow and mature through circulatory flows, metabolic processes, life cycles, and systemic boundaries. Be as nature, become regenerative and thrivable by design.

6.3.0 Apply living system principles to the design and development of our political, financial, economic and educational systems, as well as for guiding how we learn, grow, and collaborate.

6.3.1 Listen to the feedback of living systems, planetary boundaries, sustainability thresholds, ecological ceilings, and social foundations. Make this feedback visible, meaningful, and relatable for decision-making and storytelling.

6.3.2 Stop and transform activities that harm circular flows, life cycles, and systemic boundaries. Design for zero-waste, thrivability, and planetary wellbeing.

Living systems are creative and grow their freedoms ecosystemically, by learning how to balance, regulate, attune, and adapt activities, resources, and processes as a whole. To grow and expand our freedoms in balance with life, nurture the conditions for healthy systemic autonomy, planetary wellbeing, and interdependent worlds and relationships.

6.4.0 Dissolve the illusion of separation in the pursuit of freedom. Cultivate freedom from the wholeness and unity of life, and how this localizes in our autonomy.

6.4.1 Nurture the ecosystemic support systems and evolutionary capacities of systemic freedom; including self-creation, self-regulation, and adaptation. Create societal systems that empower freedom as an evolutionary learning process.

6.4.2 Empower healthy autonomy through ecosystemic feedback, responsive design, and meaningful information for conscious choice-making and systemic transformation.

Life creates conditions for empowered participation in the co-evolution of our worlds and futures. The universe is a participatory system that evolves as a whole, through the choices we make individually and collectively. Empower conscious choice-making and participation.

6.5.0 Create opportunities and support for empowered participation in the decisions that impact our lives, worlds, and futures.

6.5.1 Design for equitable distribution of choice and voice in governance and decision-making processes for individuals, communities, and ecosystems.

6.5.2 Apply the power of conscious choice for activating the higher order possibilities of a planetary civilization, and for evolving and transforming human consciousness and the ways we operationalize and apply this. 

Futures already exist within us now as potentialities in a superposition state that serve as evolutionary attractors. Living systems enable the creation of new futures by exploring and actualizing these future potentials.

6.6.0 Engage the future potentials of our evolutionary development when architecting, designing, and facilitating for thrivable worlds and futures, as well as for the metamorphic transformations during death, collapse, and transitions.

6.6.1 Create cocooning spaces for the metamorphic transformations of self and society, which also act as womb spaces for giving life to higher order possibilities for our worlds and futures.

6.6.2 Architect, design, and facilitate from the future potentials of a planetary civilization, and for the peaceful maturation of the human species.

Living systems act as the sensory organs of the universe, enabling our capacities for exploring, embodying, and actualizing the cosmological potentials of consciousness. By learning how to be, act, do, and evolve as living systems, we will naturally develop our capacities for regeneration and thrivability. 

6.7.0 Learn how to create, facilitate, and align with the transformative dynamics of life through circulatory flows, metabolic processes, life cycles, and systemic boundaries.

6.7.1 Develop systemic capacities for evolutionary coherent complexity through integrative presence, empathic awareness, relational intelligence, and system sensing.

6.7.2 Learn to work with and apply the evolutionary forces of creation, preservation, and destruction for the thrivability of life, and the maturation of human consciousness.

Learning how to become evolutionary coherent at the next levels of our increasing complexity is our greatest task as a species. This is the only way to avoid ultimate self-destruction and extinction. Evolutionary coherence is the organizational pattern of generative complexity, which emerges as spontaneous collaboration between the diverse elements and relationships of complex living systems.

6.8.0 Collaborate for the maturation of human consciousness, and not just to resolve the sustainability crisis. Make collaboration easier and more attractive than competing for domination and control. 

6.8.1 Collaborate for addressing the harmful consequences of planetary and social tipping points and systemic collapse, as well as for the trim tabs that catalyze the birth of a planetary civilization.

6.8.2 Strengthen evolutionary coherence through shared visioning and imaginal explorations of our future human potentials. Work with the harmonics of song, sound, music, narrative, dance, art, and ritual for activating the experience of our planetary consciousness.

Human systems that mechanistically operationalize goals, objectives, and activities at the expense of living systems, are unsustainable by design. Mechanistic systems create systemic thrivability barriers that undermine the necessary solutions, resources, and capacities for thrivable worlds and futures, and the maturation of human consciousness.

6.9.0 Reveal and take responsibility for systemic blindspots that are rooted in mechanistic thinking, dualistic bias, and separation dynamics. 

6.9.1 Diagnose and make visible the presence and impact of systemic thrivability barriers that result from mechanistic systems, including blocked collaboration, lack of reciprocity, blocked empathy and love, little to no responsiveness to pain, harm to interdependencies, distorted informational loops, and lack of capacities for regeneration and thrivability.

6.9.2 Address systemic thrivability barriers through strategies that transform the underlying mechanistic growth archetypes, and their operationalization through; dualistic polarization, win-lose competition, and extractive expansive growth without systemic boundaries.

Act as a future ancestor of the worlds and futures we seek to co-create and experience, based on partnership with life and stewardship for our collective thrivability. Consider and support the wellbeing of current and unborn future generations.

6.10.0 Apply a ‘community of life’ approach through decentralized inclusive governance and regenerative distributive economies that reward co-stewardship and co-ownership of ecological assets, ecosystem services, and value.

6.10.1 Promote systemic resilience, planetary health, and quality of life by increasing caring and carrying capacities for regeneration and thrivability, and distributing the value produced by communities to the communities where this belongs.

6.10.2 Be transformative, act as a future ancestor by honoring the rights and wellbeing of future generations that require the end of human harm. Actively support the necessary systemic transformations.

The universe enables planetary abundance through the fertility, health, and evolutionary capacities of living systems, which evolve as collaborative communities of life. Make true wealth a planetary and economic incentive by incentivizing systemic health and collective wellbeing. Allocate and distribute resources equitably. Invest in the health and fertility of planetary and social ecosystems, and stop what undermines this.

6.11.0 Commit to true wealth by integrating multiple forms of capital that contribute to whole system value—including natural, social, relational, cultural, and spiritual forms of capital. Apply true costing, true prizing, and true value accounting, by including the costs of negative externalities and the value creation of ecosystem services.

6.11.1 Apply ecosystemic growth archetypes, patterns, and algorithms that are designed for true wealth creation, and inclusive, equitable, and distributive value allocation.

6.11.2 Stop ecological bankruptcy by making the pursuit of unlimited material growth obsolete, and undesirable. Promote ecological economies that add more system value than they extract, and strengthen the carrying capacities of vital ecosystems.

Life is a unitive pattern that connects. Living systems communicate to evolve by translating meaningful cosmological information into activities, networks of relationships, and capacities that empower the evolution of the universe as a whole.  When we learn to communicate from unitive consciousness, as a pattern that connects, the worlds we embody will blossom and thrive.

6.12.0 Communicate to empower participation and commitment for the necessary changes for thrivable worlds and futures. Apply technologies, protocols, and algorithms that bias towards collaboration, generosity, mutuality, and responsive stewardship, rather than competition,  violence, greed, exclusivism, and division.

6.12.1 Design and architect for inclusive communication by making viable information for governance and decision making easily accessible, meaningful, and understandable for a diverse group of people, cultures, and languages. 

6.12.2 Communicate for thrivability to help people understand the urgency of this time and the actions and solidarity that are required. Communicate to evoke and inspire a sense of appreciation, wonder, sacredness, care, and gratitude for the gift of life that Mother Earth makes possible for us all.

We are each born with the potential to grow and evolve. Our actions and behaviors make the difference as to whether we do, or not. When we realize how we too are nature, as living systems of the Earth, we discover the ways and keys for becoming the future humans of a planetary civilization. We then become Earth wise.

6.13.0 Facilitate the transformations of our unsustainable systems, ways, and cultures from the inside-out, by applying the wisdom and evolutionary capacities of living systems for our human and societal development.

6.13.1 Dream the higher possibility of our future becoming. See yourself as a future human of our evolutionary next step; a planetary conscious and maturing species.

6.13.2 Explore how a sentient universe would express itself as a conscious and mature human species. How life would express itself as a human civilization in transformation.
