A good Reminder
"It is very difficult for anyone to keep going ‘around and around’ (the ‘problem’) because we have been taught in our educational institutions that we go from one point to another point and one of our assumptions is that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points.
I don't doubt this, it is. But it's not the most informational in terms of any living system.
And you've gotten to be big boys and girls and you're dealing with living systems and you're going to have to learn how to progress by going ‘around’. And this is a tough job.
And it'll take you several years before you become really competent and easy at it. But you see, what I have just been giving you as this support of the body, is this sense of circularity, this sense of going around, not going straight, everything depending on everything else, one thing letting go and everything else shifting." IPR, Advanced Class, 1976
