Words from Norm & Skye Hirst, Eugene Pendergraft and a tribute to Robert Hartman.

The Autognomics Institute was founded in 1993 as a non-profit research and education organization, (a 501C 3) in New York and Connecticut, USA.
Skye Hirst chose the word, Autonomics which points to a unique characteristic of how life-knows itself. Gene Pendergraft added the “g” to make it Autognomics for greater clarity of meaning drawing from the word gnostic, to know. So the word Autognomics was born.

As the logos of life-itself is becoming more and more apparent, so are the inadequacies of materialism. Materialism simply cannot account for life-itself. To understand the logos of life-itself, we have to ask what can be done to overcome mechanisms and traditions of Western materialism, to break with our culture’s scientific materialism and to replace it with new foundations.

What I Learned from Norm and Sky Hirst
And How It Changed My Life
by Rodney Plimpton
Before I met Norm and Skye I had a pretty good handle on how Life
worked, or so I thought. I had a PhD in Social Psychology from
Stanford, had studied Human Potential for Five years with Jean Houston,
knew all about stimulus-response and something about cybernetics. I
didn’t consciously realize how much my model of life was based on a
popular concoction Darwinism, materialism, elitism, and computer
science.
