EDITORIAL: out of the problem and into the solution 3

by jeffrey gormly

 

think local, act local, be mindful of the self-organising capacities of the global

The challenge now is to resist our urge to control and organise reality. Our challenge is to become more sensitive to the information we ourselves are actually receiving as bodyminds in this world, through our organs, senses, thoughts and dreams, and learn the confidence and courage to begin tuning our actions in to this information. Our challenge is to allow a space to grow between each other where the old rules are suspended, and we can construct, together, a new reality, and a new paradigm about intimacy.

distributed non-interference, mutual self-correction

This requires a rethinking and reimagining of our relationship to this world:

Economics is not only a money making principle. It can be a way of production to fulfil the demands of people all over the world. Capital is humankind’s ability in work, not just money. True economics equals the creativity of people. Joseph Beuys

So now, what private understanding of our own ability to create is most useful in the current situation…

This is a thing of intuition…

Something comes in a dream or vision, slips through the net of our anxiety and fear to lodge in our minds like a soft splinter of possibility…

Uninvited, unexpected, unforeseen …

This is how the work of art stirs…
