Our future prosperity lies in giving up the illusion of our separateness from one another and from our environment, and instead, reconnecting the now broken parts into the true wholes of reality, unleashing untold potential and prosperity in the process.

Our Future Prosperity

“Our future prosperity lies in giving up the illusion of our separateness from one another and from our environment, and instead, reconnecting the now broken parts into the true wholes of reality, unleashing untold potential and prosperity in the process.”

John Fullerton, Finding Prosperity

This next great era, the integral era, will force us to shed our human arrogance (equally shared on the left and the right) that says we can manage complex systems through objective analysis without creating ever greater problems with our solutions. Of course, this is not the popular view. Instead, to borrow from Vaclav Havel, “we are looking for an objective way out of the crisis of objectivism.” Our future prosperity lies in giving up the illusion of our separateness from one another and from our environment, and instead, reconnecting the now broken parts into the true wholes of reality, unleashing untold potential and prosperity in the process. Our bodies, our ecosystems, our businesses, our economies, our societies are far more than the sum of the parts we currently use to analyze and manage them, as true for cancer research as it is for equity research. And they are far more complex than we can objectively understand, much less manage. Instead, we must learn to work with the complexity, to understand how it works, and to discern its underlying patterns and principles.

It is not, therefore, new technologies that will save us. It’s a new way to think!

With more integrated, “integral” thinking, we will learn to see our economies through these universal patterns and principles. In the process, we will learn to unlock previously unseen potential, consistent with our true reality of abundance if we only had eyes to see it.

–John Fullerton [Finding Prosperity].
