Pluriversal Planet

a world where
many worlds fit

A PLURIVERSE is...

• A concept, an imaginary, and a vision

• A praxis of living

• A counter-hegemonic world-building

• An aspiration for decolonial futures

• A reclamation of our humanity

• A recognition of our deep entanglements

• A celebration of diverse cosmologies, ontologies, and epistemologies

A Pluriverse is premised on Relationality, Nonduality, Decoloniality, and Democratic Participation.

The Eurocentric and dominant worldview based on the five denials has led us to the edge of a polycrisis. This situation is worsened by resource depletion, exploitation, modern forms of colonialism, an economy that prioritizes profit over life, and the mistreatment of society's most vulnerable members.

The imperial-colonial system, rooted in Supremacy, Separation, Colonialism, and Patriarchy, has warped our connections with Self, Other, and Nature. This distortion has not only fueled a growing polycrisis but also created an Age of Dissonance and a severe Crisis of Meaning.

The vision of Pluriversal Futures invites us to rediscover and embrace our deep interconnectedness. It urges us to boldly reimagine and rebuild the core stories, symbols, and principles that guide our global civilization.

This is a call to join a journey of collective world-sensing and co-creation, and to break free from the constraints of dominant ideologies.

Deconstructing Hegemony

Unmasking the Global Paradigm: From Colonial Roots to Modern Challenges

Our world today is shaped by a powerful force: a Eurocentric worldview that has dominated global thinking for centuries. This perspective, born from imperial ambitions, has evolved over time but its core remains unchanged. Let's explore its journey:

  • From Colonial Beginnings: The seeds were planted during the era of colonialism

    • Global Expansion: It spread its influence through globalization

    • Modern Manifestations: Now, it takes the form of neoliberalism, necrocapitalism, and neocolonialism

At its heart, this worldview is driven by a simple yet potent formula: power, profit, and privilege for a select few. This isn't just an abstract concept - it's a reality that touches every aspect of our lives:

  • Political Influence: Shaping policies and decisions

    • Economic Control: Dictating market trends and financial systems

    • Technological Dominance: Leveraging big data and tech innovations

    • Social Impact: Influencing education, culture, and even spirituality

The result? A world order that's pushing us towards the edge. Our planet is feeling the strain, with critical environmental boundaries being crossed. It's time to

  • Reclaim Our Narrative: Challenge the status quo

    • Reimagine Our Future(s): Envision a world that works for all

    • Re-story our World(s): Co-create pluriversal futures where many worlds coexist

Another World is Possible

Despite the vehement denials of hegemonic powers, the world stands on the brink of seismic changes. These shifts go beyond fluctuating politics or crumbling economies—they represent fundamental paradigm shifts in beliefs, narratives, metaphors, and mindsets that constitute the very foundations of civilizations and cultures.

This transformation is inevitable. Life inherently creates conditions conducive to its own flourishing. However, today's economic paradigm is life-denying—its unchecked growth inversely correlates with Earth's vitality. Such a system was destined to unravel. We now stand at the crossroads between collapse and rebirth, witnessing a Change of Era rooted in profound shifts of conscience and consciousness.

The very foundation of our global civilization is shifting as we strive to reclaim our humanity, decolonize our imagination, and reimagine our relationships with the Earth and Life itself. In these paradoxical times of polarizing politics and hyper-connected citizenry, the potential for connection, collaboration, and cooperation is immense.

Globalization, primarily an economic phenomenon, is evolving into Globalism—a recognition of our intrinsic and unbreakable interconnectedness. This shift marks a journey from being merely global citizens to becoming Earthzens.

Rabindranath Tagore, Asia's first Poet Laureate, wrote about pluriversality more than a 100 years ago. He conceived ‘of a kind of federation of nations' in which each contributes its own characteristic philosophy.

"The days of petty nationalism are numbered—let the first step towards universal union occur in the fields of Bolpur. I want to make that place somewhere beyond the limits of nation and geography—the first flag of victorious universal humanism will be planted there.

To rid the world of the suffocating coils of national pride will be the task of my remaining years. The cult of the Nation, as practised by the nations of Europe, led inevitably to an escalating cycle of conflict, where ‘machine must be pitted against machine, and nation against nation, in an endless bullfight of politics." ~ Nationalism (1917)

"The lumbering structure of modern progress, riveted by the iron bolts of efficiency, which runs upon the wheels of ambition, cannot hold together for long. Collisions are certain to occur, for it has to travel upon organised lines; it is too heavy to choose its own course freely, and once it is off the rails its endless train of vehicles is dislocated."
Rabindranath Tagore

“There is a time for hope and there is a time for realism. But what is needed now is beyond hope and realism. This is a time when we ought to dedicate ourselves to bringing about the greatest shift in human consciousness
and in the way we live.” ~Ben Orki

Embark on a Journey to Pluriversal Futures

Imagine a world without boundaries - a world where diverse cosmologies interweave to create tapestries of possibilities. This is the essence of Pluriversal Futures.

Here are a few questions to act as compasses on our journey:

  • 🌟 What does it truly mean to be human in our interconnected world?

  • 🤝 What does it mean to be in community?

  • 🌱 In what ways can we nurture the seeds planted in our communities?

  • 🌈 What can we access through our collective imagination and wisdom?

  • 🧠 How can we learn from the unseen, unheard, and unacknowledged stories and voices?

  • 🚀 How do we lean into emerging futures and bring to life what's yearning to be born?

Join us in this transformative exploration. Together, let's reimagine our world and co-create a future that celebrates diversity, fosters connection, and unlocks our collective potential.

Discover Futures Sensing

🌟 Futures Sensing is the ability to tap into and learn from emerging futures in the present moment. It combines our capacities for imagination, intuition, inner wisdom, and narrative building, along with the skill to perceive and adapt in real-time. These foundational capabilities enable us to navigate and steer through unfamiliar terrain, even in uncertain times.

However, these innate abilities have been systematically suppressed by a dominant economic narrative built on rationality, linearity, and productivity. As we've lost our connection to Self, Others, and Nature, we've also drifted away from our inner compass and our embodied sensemaking capabilities.

The Futures Sensing Journey comprises a set of capacities, practices, and conscious approaches that can be deliberately cultivated and nurtured. These help us move beyond hegemonic paradigms and experience the world differently. In the face of intertwined ecological, social, economic, and political turbulence, traditional problem-solving methods have become irrelevant and outdated. It is crucial to develop new sensemaking abilities in this context.

"The world everyone sees is not the world but a world which we bring forth with others. ...the world will be different only if we live differently."
