aurobindo, ken and spiral dynamics

Wed Sep 4 09:20:37 PDT 2002

dear all,

I am really privileged to listen so many slides of the truth and very
enriching indeed.

very interesting dialogues are going on spirit and democracy - but as i am
reflecting on past postings on spiral dynamic & ken, i was thinking about
Aurobindo's model.(ken refined his models to a certain extent from Aurobindo
as he did from many other sources) and took courage for this first posting.

Aurobindo in his spiritual work also consists of different quadrants and
what he observe regarding the movement across the quadrant is "A
transformation of human nature can only be achieved when the substance of
the being is so steeped in the spiritual principle that all its movements
are a spontaneous dynamism and a harmonized process of the spirit."

(Though i did not attend  formal OS what i can visualise)What OST enable its
willing participants a spontaneous expression in a harmonized process of
spirit.. As I read more on Aurobindo's work, I find that spontaneous
dynamism and harmonised process of the spirit enables a free movement across
its hierarchies/quadrants. Derivative of the above proposition is that OST
is all pervasive and capable of reaching perhaps all quadrants.

Another line of caution is that to analyze it purely on rational ground will
be pure injustice. What Aurobindo Said" But reason can not arrive at any
final truth because it can neither get to the root of things nor embrace
their totality. It deals with the finite, the separate and has no measure
for the all .." Hence is the scope of our intuitive mind.

Just thought to share from the few pages of eastern wisdom.

Thanking you,
 with regards

Hello!

I have a question that I hope you might be able to help me
with.

If you could have the ear of 40 powerful business people in the world,
with
the perspective of inclusivity in mind, who would you choose to talk
with
them, what would you choose to have them experience?

I'm helping to create an event for the top 40 executives at BP (British
Petroleum). Which is a pretty powerful group seeing they're now the 3rd
largest corporation on the globe. The purpose of the event centers
around
the "price of exclusion," or what happens when you create an "other."
They
realize, as a global company that moves people from country to country
and
impacts local communities, it's imperative for them to make high level
policy decisions with inclusivity in mind. I give them a lot of credit
for
this, and have seen them really take it to heart.

I'm in the research stage right now and would love it if you'd be
willing to
give your thoughts on who you think might be a good speaker, or who
should
take part because their ideas are, or could be, really shaking up the
world.
People who have firsthand experience in third world countries or within
an
organization that is heavily facing these issues and is working to deal
with
them. That kind of thing.

After the top 40 experience this before the end of the year, they'll
cascade
it to the next 500 and then to about 2000 middle managers over the next
couple of years. Any ideas?

I want to find traditional speakers and thought leaders and definitely
alternative people and ideas that might not fit the filter of Harvard or

Oxford. Also, we're looking to find a good portion of the people from
outside the US and UK, so they experience a better world view.

Thanks so much for your thoughts! I really appreciate your knowledge.
