Why to invest our time and attention in an Integral Operating System

I started reading the work-in-progress online Excerpts from Wilber’s forthcoming "Kosmic Karma and Creativity" and found the gems quoted below. They are followed by my burning questions.

“[T]he technological revolution can speed through the social system extremely quickly--leaving the old cultural worldview completely out of sync with the new realities. To change that cultural worldview requires, of course, a difficult subjective transformation of consciousness in order to tetra-mesh with the new social realities of increased depth.”

“[T]hat modest 2% of the population that is now integral might soon swell to 5%, 10%, or more. I believe that, as with any evolutionary unfolding, we will especially start to see evidence of this increasingly integral consciousness at the growing tip, or at the leading edge, or in the avantgarde (by whatever appellation)--in academia, the arts, social movements, spirituality, thought leaders.”

“Once individuals download and install [an Integral Operating System] IOS in their own worldview, they begin more conscientiously attempting to include all views, all approaches, all potentials in their own sweep of the Kosmos. IOS initiates a self-correcting, self-organizing outreach to all aspects of the universe previously marginalized by worldviews that were too narrow, too shallow, too self-enclosing to serve as more transparent vehicles of Kosmic consciousness.”

"Are you in for a phone call tonight?"

-- Are you in for a phone call tonight? - asked Ria.

I answered, tomorrow would be better because--while waiting for replies from Bud, Otto, Thierry, Federico, and Albert--I’m busy with observing the direction, in which my creative inspirations want to flow tonight.

After replying, I entered into a contemplation about the last part of the sentence that I've just written. As soon as I did, the Truth of Impersonality appeared in my awareness and shortly after, my inner ears heard a message as follows:

Leaning into the unknown,
you will see the direction emerging from the space within,
in which an intensely present creative impulse meets
one of the calls from the Field that are asking for your attention.

Tonight, the impulse was to write. The call came from the Blog of Collective Intelligence. I got out of the way, and this entry was born.
