If you want to know if someone has fully crossed an ontoligical threshold and embodied a new worldview, observe what they do rather than listen to what they say. #wisdom
A new essay divides the history of life on Earth into five energetic epochs, offering a theory of successive energy revolutions to explain how we evolved such a diversity of environments supporting a rich array of life, from the cyanobacteria to humans https://t.co/jJY4f3Y64Z
In Jungian psychology, the 'shadow' is all of the things about ourselves that we deny or reject, and integrating those is key to psychological growth. So how do we face and integrate our shadow elements? https://t.co/JEGHfrP7Ty
@Kevindoylejones In order to measure something it must be taken out of its contextual complex processes. Instead of pulling our hair out trying to figure a way to measure context we should ask why measurement is so important to our culture we choose context-blind numbers over life. #WarmData
“Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything.”
Acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton, who has spent 35 years recording nature's quietest nooks, on the art of listening to silence in a noisy world https://t.co/q26BByWMHH
In order to be successful at something, we must cultivate a huge disinterest in a great many other interesting things. Insights from Meg Wheatley in Edinburgh last wk still resonate. It speaks of need to draw boundaries around interconnections to b effective, not to ignore them.
@leashless It's beyond comprehension why in this moment assets are being poured into armaments... Of all things. As if food shortage, drought, culture fracture and opiate crises weren't enough. By all means let's keep the damn war machine fed. Insane.

The time it takes for change to occur can be quick, and the time it takes for the condions of change to ripen & become ready is a variable. It's X + 1 minute. You just never know where you are in the time line of X. Sometimes it's closer than you think. #complexity#SystemChange
“In the end it comes down to asking ourselves: will we continue to strive to out-compete each other and in the process unravel the thread that all life depends upon? Or will we learn to collaborate in the healing of the whole through…” — @DrDCWahl https://t.co/5oEwuy5fTA
Facilitative leadership can help organizations embrace the potentials of the world, flow with the changes, and thrive even in what seems like chaos. Because underneath the chaos lies a hidden order that will emerge if given space and attention @sahana2802 https://t.co/yXU7e9kztw
Caring for each other is the the core of caring for the ecology. Wealth gap, racism, mysogeny, bigotry and ecological destruction are all products of the same impulse to take, own, and control. My well-being is your well-being is the wellbeing of the biosphere. #complexity#care
This confirms my belief that it's all about the questions. Edgar Schein in his book Humble Inquiry diagnosed two things that are missing from most conversations: “Curiosity, and a willingness to ask questions to which we don’t already know the answer.” https://t.co/gSNXBjSK0u
"Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can. Walk."
