Language as (R)Evolution: Join L.E. Maroski to Reimagine How We Speak Our World into Being

Dear Metapsychonauts,

Is it possible that our very language—the scaffolding of thought itself—may be due for a revolution? That the limits of our words might be restraining the evolution of our consciousness?

This week, our publishing imprint Untimely Books invites you to a rare opportunity: a series of intimate conversations with philosopher, tango dancer, and linguistic revolutionary L.E. (Lisa) Maroski, author of Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language: Expressing the Unity and Complexity of Integral Consciousness.

Lisa proposes something deliciously radical—that humanity is poised on the cusp of a transformation that requires not just new ideas, but new ways to articulate them. Imagine if the very structure of the language we speak were part of what’s holding us back from perceiving and manifesting a more integrated relationship with reality.

As Brian George wrote in his revelatory reflection on Lisa’s work: “Can a book dream? Does it want you as a friend, and may it even love you? Just how curious is this book about the basement of your psyche, about the childhoods you buried there?” The answer, it seems, is very curious indeed and invites our exploration into realms where language itself becomes a portal to new ways of being.

Join Lisa for your choice of three live Zoom discussions in May:

• Saturday, May 3rd: 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT
• Monday, May 12th: 3pm PT / 6pm ET / 11pm GMT
• Sunday, May 18th: 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm GMT

(Indian Standard Time sessions available upon request)

Whether you’ve absorbed the book already, find yourself stuck in its paradoxical embrace, or are simply intrigued by the premise, this is your chance to ask questions directly to the mind behind the work.

While you wait for the event, you might also enjoy revisiting our archives for a glimpse into how literature can transform consciousness through Brian George’s playfully profound and intellectually adventurous essay, “This Book Wants to Be Your Friend—L.E. Maroski’s Tips for Freeing the Genie from the Klein Bottle” which uses Lisa’s work as a springboard for dancing with the depths.

As George writes: “With so many questions to ask itself, with so many cosmologies to turn and see anew, why should this book want you?” Perhaps it’s because you, dear reader, are already part of the transformation it speaks of.
