in my personal life that happened, for example when i stopped crawling and
started walking. and later when i stopped thinking that i did all living
alone and 'manybodies' made me conscious of doing so much together.
in organizations this happens too. when people stop to manage it all by
themselves and start delegating. and again this happens when in
organizations people start to work as entrepeneurs at all levels,
networking the organizational processes.
what i feel as needed is help or assistance in self steering or self
directing. i learn from our communicating that i can make choices at all
time when i can begin to do or let. your contributions help me to direct
meaning that i may give to situations and things.
i choose a particular set of contributions, made by at de lange. he
mentions seven essentialities that help 'leaping'. he talks about
emergences (budding) and immergences (shriveling). i like to rephrase, in
my own words (?) the maning of these essentialities. i am sure at de lange
will 'hear me'. i hope other 'learners' are also at the brink or verge of
'catastrophe' and will help me with their 'understanding' [standing under
what?]. maybe they already 'see' what is meant and 'see me' retreat for a
better leap [reculer pour mieux sauter].
associativity - monadicity (wholeness)
quality - variety (rangeness)
identity - categoricity (sureness)
being - becoming (aliveness)
paradigm - open (openness)
connect - beget (fruitfulness)
quantity - limit (limitedness)
i understand that these essentialities are no critical successfactors.
they are opposing forces, generating flows or flux or streams. together
they are forces that are present in nature (as where we all live in, me
too).
being - becoming * interplaying [as in a lemniscate] of structure and
process.
quantity - limit * where endless space transcends into and pairs with her
catastrophical neighbour. like in the folding of space that in her lenght
is endless and at large is limited by the folding.
endless space being me crawling at one side and walking, [soon running and
leaping] as other space[s] of existence or dynamic 'state'.
quality - variety * the articulate uniqueness as a component of the range
of hardly distinguishable and yet so clearly similar [set of items].
how apt the notion of dynamic quality that says that things that have no
value do not exist.
associativity - monadicity * between things there is the mutal
associativity [or reference] and in the things the undividedness in its
gestalt.
paradigm - open * the sound systematizing that serves sureness and
occasional shifts and that meets the open and freeing surrender to the
uncertainties (and insecurities) of the unceasing continuous flows.
connect - beget * on one hand there is the connecting of items that brings
along new possibilities. more is needed to start life on the other hand.
this more is the seed as in courage, lust or spirit of life that affords
selfpropelling, selfmaintenance, mutual arising and conviviality.
identity - categoricity * the one [thing] can be indicated exactly with
its own identity. from a richness of aspects iets thing or phenomenon
(event) can be assigned to a category. to articutale is the actitivity
that things and events attaches to experienced values.
what more ways of 'understanding' you add? what energy bursts catalyze
learning and leaping?
