There are no components, it is whole-form

Another reply to Tivo, this time not on the MythoSelf list but directly to him. There’s no personal content so I’ve posted it here as you might find it enlightening When I’m facilitating clients they come up with one story that resonates initially… It’s not a transderivational search, it’s transpersonal. It’s what Campbell said about [...]

The point of transformation

I posted this to Tivo on the MythoSelf Yahoo group today: The point of transformation is that everything is different… To be especially clear in saying this, if you can conceptualise who and what you want to be becoming, this is almost certainly not it. As that would just be a rearrangement of the existing [...]

Donald Trump and Charles Moore. What is success?

So what is success? According to Donald Trump in his latest book “Think Big and Kick Ass! in Business and Life” it’s all about doing what you love. Trump only sleeps four hours a night ‘cos he can’t wait to get up and start working. This is the key, to love the work you do. [...]

The Future – more Bladerunner than Neuromancer

Yesterdays Guardian newspaper here in the UK has an article about the Ministry of Defences “future strategic context” or their pessimistic ideas for what is going to happen in the next 30 years: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,,2053020,00.html the part that interested me was the “by 2035 an implantable information chip could be directly wired into the brain”. Clearly [...]

The distinction between ‘structural’ and ‘functional’ well-formedness

The distinction is between ‘structural’ and ‘functional’ well-formedness. For example some people are functionally well-formed in that in their work life they’re good at making money. In other words they are good at achieving a functional outcome, able to do stuff and get results in the real world. Quite often (but not always) these same [...]
