Terminology and the universe

[Murli Nagasundaram]

Hi,

If someone wants to call it "open space" and someone else wants to append
the word "technology", that's fine.  I choose not to do it.

(Here we go again.)

My discomfort with using the "T" word is that I'm embarrassed by it.  I
personally find it difficult to apply it to a process that is so clearly
un-technological!  I think clients are confused by the term, especially
after they've seen how the meeting actually goes.

Personally, I find it a completely un-useful distinction.  I also think, in
the long run, you can call it spaghetti with marinara sauce and porcini
mushrooms as long as people bring their passions to the theme in question,
and as long as you open it, hold it, and close it well.

BUT, Birgitt has raised another of her ground-breaking points ­ with
interesting implications for what we do.

What is the nature of the universe?  Is it truly open space?  Time that is
genuinely free?

And if the universe is, in fact open space, and we seek a meeting process
that most clearly and cleanly reflects the way of the natural universe, are
we there yet?
