Almost Postmodern


Postmodernity supposedly emerged in the 60s revolution. But really it was only in rare beings such as Ghandi and Martin Luther King in which this stage of development called Early Vision Logic (Wilber), 4th Stage of Life (Da), Yoga (Deida) emerged. For most of the others, what Wilber calls cultural creatives, they did not enter into Postmodernity. Rather they had a Modern interpretation of Post-modernity. That is why Post-modernity has often been called a continuation of Modernity. Because it is simply the truths that Martin Luther and Ghandi expressed, and were recognized to be higher truths, and therefore we attempted to integrate them into our own Modern interpretation of reality. And until this realization dawns on humanity as a whole, we can never enter into Post-modernity. This is why Post-modernity as a philosophy has been totally trashed, because the conclusion it comes to means that there is nothing higher than any given truth. But Post-modernity itself rests on the premise that its truth is higher than the truths of modernity. So the conclusion denies the premise, and Post-modernity is a contradiction.
