Well in your terms I have made many connect-begets with my work.

I have read them (except the last two ) all to see if I can use them in
business. I recognised your moncat patterns, and realised that the being-
becoming is just the same as structure- process and further more your LEC
and LEP is identical to the business theory of EKS the "twins". In fact
the originator of EKS says that Prigogine's theories actually corroborate
EKS findings. Scarily so. But EKS is just focused on business models. EKS
is modeled on layers of complexity of process- structure (LEP) over
energy. (LEC)

When has objections stopped you At? I have objections too, life is full
of mental lethargy and mental blockages, is this not the essence of
otherness.

Yes, openness does seem like a joker in the pack. I was wondering if some
of the work I am involved with is some sort of hindrance for openness. I
think the algedonic signal controlled by the amygdala in the brain is a
culprit here.

I have noticed a drill down in the algedonic (motivation) factors that
leads to autonomy, expression, creative expression and freedom to your
essentialities.

Yes, I sometimes do experience that, most times I have given up, I am not
so keen these days to share too much information. When I am called in for
a consultation I don't even tell clients what theories or models I use. I
just do the best I can for them under the circumstances.

I don't follow all the threads my day is often too busy for that. But I
will have a look thanks.

I am still pretty keen to read your comments about the last two
essentialities.

If we don't have our health we have nothing, how right you are. The one
compliments the other.

Keep well.

Has your book been published yet?
