So much of our social and personal problems is because we have not received education in living systems thinking. We have been encultured to a thinking of our worlds as siloed, each onto themselves, needing to demand, asserting without caring for the whole, and believing prosperity is individual effort.

Even spiritual liberation is made out to be individual efforts.

Most of my posts are an effort to introduce care for whole and to read this moment from that perspective. Metacognitively.

Please make time to read, reflect. Ask questions if you have any.

Some of these thoughts on Creativity were part of my 2017 Lightweaver Writing Masterclass. However they have experienced an evolution with reading and reflecting on the brilliant works of Iain Kerr and Jason Frasca of Emergent Futures Lab. I highly recommend you subscribe to their newsletters as well as get their book "Innovating Emergent Futures".

Some of their work, in turn, is founded in the works of other thinkers like Delueze and Guattari, C. Pierce and Alfred Whitehead of Process Philosophy. Nothing like reading the sources to understand the notion of creativity. Creativity is literally life, magic, possibility, hope on Earth. I do not think healing of fractures is possible without novelty shaping ruptures into new wholes.

If you have questions, ask. It will help me reflect further.

I hope this post reminds you to observe your worlds and ask yourself -- what would truly be a contribution here?

The number of people who share their social media struggles these days is increasing. Or at least that is my perception.

I have been reading and listening to folks across thought approaches on possible interventions.

NLP, of course, is ahead of the game in this regard. If you have an NLP coach, seek their help.

Besides this, living systems thinking invites us to notice that sharpness or obsessive loops often are the result of excess simplification and reduction of complexity in life. Bringing in richness and diversity helps.

In all cases, permanent changes in this area happen when underlying needs/drivers are satisfied in some other way.

You may want to also catch up with Audrey Tang, Taiwan's former digital minister. I find many insights through her.
