The essence of fundamental
change
Stop focusing on the parts, start seeing the whole
Suppose you have a headache, regularly
Looking from the outside, it’s a problem waiting to be solved
Suppose you are getting wrinkled
Problem solved ?
Suppose oil is running out
Problem solved ?
“Problemsolving often functions as a way of maintaining the
status quo rather than
enabling fundamental change”
Why
Problem solving is reactive
“We are downloading habitual ways of thinking”
“Simply labeling a situation as a “problem” allows us to distance ourselves
from it and blocks observing whatever arises
as it actually is”
David Bohm
“Normally our thoughts have us, rather than we having them”
Fundamental change occurs when we learn to see from the whole
Seeing from the whole does not happen as a result of ‘trying’.
It comes out of ‘suspending’ our voice of judgment
“If we can simply allow ourselves to sit with all the seemingly unrelated bits and
pieces of information we see, fresh ways to understand a situation
can eventually emerge”
The less you pack, the more awaits you
“When we truly suspend taken-for-granted ways
of seeing the world, what we start to see can be
disorienting and disturbing”
“Embarking and continuing this journey requires
the willingness to accept many such moments
of “profound disorientation”
Break down the walls between self and world
Sense what is happening from within a situation,
rather than from outside
Minds are like parachutes
They only function when open
