The Grey Robes: The First Five Dimensions (of 12)
Dimension One: Mystery
Explore humanity’s oldest questions and answers that send us on various paths yet unite us as an order. We delve into the power of dialectics and integration, recognizing these as tools to ascend in psychosocial development. We call these gifts of existence the Illuminations, which we will explore together.
Dimension Two: Mission
The Grey Robes are wisdom seekers dedicated to a Mission. We are not content with mere intellectual and spiritual exploration; we exert ourselves in the world. Our Mission is nothing less than to instantiate a decentralized, consent-based order. As we develop and adopt technologies that lateralize our relationships, we open new horizons of possibility, moving ever closer to The Social Singularity.
Dimension Three: Means
Subversive innovators on a Mission need Means—a combination of thoughts, words, and actions. We channel the Elemental Drives, symbolized by the four ancient elements: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Once balanced within, we practice the Arcana of Persuasion and Subversive Innovation, which are essential tools in our art.
Dimension Four: Morality
The Grey Robes must embrace a timeless morality to create a global consent-based order. Virtues must be practiced, empowering the practitioner and animating society. We will explore the primary Virtues and Vices, the Archetypes, and the Sacred Shadow, learning how to become better people while acknowledging our natures.
Dimension Five: Meaning
Without meaning, there is nothing. The Grey Robes are meaning-makers striving to live out our telos. We move through complexity, guided by the integral spiral into sub-orders called the Ascending Orders, a model of progress and development. We seek to create a world of happiness, harmony, and prosperity anchored in direct mutualism.
In the Grey Robes, we find common pleasures, establish rituals, and look after one another as we journey together toward a liberated future.
Who We Are
In 2014, writer Scott Alexander identified a new tribe—the Grey Tribe—a group emerging as an alternative to the partisan Red and Blue tribes. United by a commitment to decentralization and a will to invent the future, the Grey Tribe has since gained recognition, including from high priest Balaji Srinivasan.
But this is not enough.
The Grey Robes are the beating heart, belief system, and set of practices the Grey Tribe needs to thrive.
Max Borders, author of The Social Singularity and editor at Underthrow, envisions a fraternal order to focus, synchronize, and empower the Grey Tribe. Enter The Grey Robes. This loosely networked band of anti-authoritarians recognizes that mere antipathy and techno-wizardry will fall flat in its nascent stage.
Borders has assembled the rudiments of a priesthood—a fraternal order—to expand our sovereignty. This begins within one’s inner cosmos and extends into the thinking, feeling, and practices of embodied beings willing to connect with others of like minds.
Borders and The Grey Robes are joining forces with
to bring you BETWEEN WORLDS. These Renaissance Men and Women will embrace the Mystery, serve the Mission, adopt the Means, practice Morality, and make Meaning together.Don’t miss the event and a year’s worth of content.
