My own "yes-AND" appreciative commentary in brackets. Quotes are from "Evolutionaries: Unlocking the Spiritual and Cultural Potential of Science's Greatest Idea" by Carter Phipps, 2012, published by Harper Perennial.

Truth is a fertile feisty feather 
pushed off to the academic side.

More complex truths are tethered climates
within which creative co-empathic mindbodies
transgenerationally reside.

"At the beginning of the twenty-first century,
for the luckiest
people who have ever been born,

[with high risk and opportunity 
for win/win Me/We-consciousness]

it seems that our passionate pursuit 
of individuation
has reached its apex." 

[LeftBrain YangDominant climax]

"We have discovered that we are part of a vast,
complex,
multidimensional

[polynomial, polycultural, polypathic, polymorphic, polysymbiotic, polyphonic, polyvagal, polymathic]

fourteen-billion-year process
that is evolving right now, 
as ourselves."

[AND anthro-dominant EarthTribe
climate creolizing
WinWin AnthroEgo/EarthEco-cooperative political
positive/notnotnegative-therapeutic balance resolution]

"And our ability to recognize this vast trajectory
that lies behind us
and that still lives within us
allows us to appreciate
the tremendous significance 
of the [great transitional] moment
we are [evolving/revolving/dissolving] in."

"The awakening of this evolutionary comprehension
shatters the postmodern predicament."

[Concerning re-creative 
dipolar co-arising 0-EarthZone 
liberal production/conservational consumption
ego/eco-political redesign
for more humanely/divinely trusting omnipotence 
within AnthroMind/EarthBody's interdependent health systems;
and our positive Both-Yang/And-Yin equitable response 
engages Me/We's mono/poly-theistic Yes!].

And it is up to those of us who recognize this liberating context--
the luckiest people in the world--
to make ourselves available
to the energy and [co]intelligence that has,
over tens of thousands of years,
patiently cultivated our human indigenous wisdom capacity
for higher consciousness
and cognition,
so that it [Me/We]
can take the next [Win/Win] step,
through us and as us."
