Chaos and Complexity - Our world is full of complex systems. By investigating the patterns of nature we find order in chaos and chaos in order; simplicity in complexity and complexity in simplicity

Fairy Stores and Archetypes - Fairy stories and their characters reflect aspects of our inner lives. By working with them we can heal the emotional wounds of our past

Spiral Dynamics - A model of the levels of development of human consciousness

Integral Consciousness - A map of how we can see our world and living in it that meets the needs of a complex and dangerous world.. It integrates science and spirituality.

Some three and a half billion years ago bacteria, our earliest ancestors, came to life on our planet. We have evolved from that point to become the incredibly complex and amazing beings that we are. At the same time, we evolved the means of perpetrating terrifying violence on each other to the point that our whole survival could be in question.

What does it really take for this three and a half billion year habit of violence to be replaced by compassion for each other? Compassion requires great courage to do what is needed to bring about the best outcome for all involved.

Until we can fully face up to the violence we perpetration on each other and look behind the veil of self-deception that allows us to justify our actions to ourselves and other, we remain trapped in perpetual cycles of violence.

This book uses the principles of Chaos Theory and Complexity Theory as framework to understand how we have evolved to become what we are, and what we need to do to become what we can be. We take a journey through our history examining various theories that give us shed light the underlying patterns to life and provide some answers to how we might make real changes in our world and help us to live more compassionate and full lives...
