Re-Visioning History

Jeremy Johnson, host of Mutations podcast and author of Seeing Through the World (2019), proposes a philosophical and mythmaking exercise. We need a new history of consciousness freed from the trappings of Enlightenment era narratives concerned with progress and development.

What happens when we walk away from those narratives? Isn’t it high time that we did? Could we still talk about unfoldment, emergence, and becoming without progress? In order to answer these questions, Jeremy will invite participants to join him in a series of philosophical and mythopoetic meditations on time, human origins, and history.

Through 11 theses, the philosophical groundwork for new models of consciousness unfoldment crystallize. These re-visionings of history offer us new ways of understanding the civilizational crisis of our present. How we imagine the past dramatically shapes what we believe is possible in the present, so what are the stories about human origins that open, rather than close, more beautiful futures? When we imagine a time beyond progress, new stories of planetary homecoming can not only begin to be told, but start to be lived.

This class is, although building on previous offerings by Jeremy on this platform exploring consciousness studies, integral philosophy, and the work of Jean Gebser, requires no familiarity with prior coursework. New students and alumni are welcome.
