I referenced examples of a different fourth turning in previous posts of this thread, like secular Buddhism and Bauwens' article "The next Buddha is a collective." Here's another example from Bauwens in an article that came out today, "If we can have p2p economics, why not p2p spirituality?" I like that it's in the journal Transformation,
whose tagline is "where love meets social justice," highlighting my
favored notion of spirituality as liberating social action.
Speaking of which, in Kennilingam's 2-minute introductory video at the
site his tone is much less grandiose than when this thread first
started. He mentioned that the fourth turning in nowhere near a final or
complete elucidation. And that the purpose of the conference is to work
out some possibilities toward such a turning in a community, since as
he said "the next Buddha is a sangha." Good for him. His sangha though
still needs to address the metaphysics of presence, which really is very
old school.
