Certainly works in Quantum Theory, and even better, I suspect, in Humans
Theory. At a very practical level as this relates to Open Space (as in
event) exclusive focus on the individuals, their words and behaviors, can
lead to mind-boggling confusion. Personally, I just can't think the detail
and complexity. However, if you look, feel, hear the full field perceived as
flow or a dance it all starts to make sense. Further, when you do engage
individuals in their uniqueness, my experience is that the connection is
deeper and more meaningful, even if it is only fleeting - for they are
engaged in context.

Masud -- I know the devil made me do it -- but when I saw your words, "For

instance, do we give more respect to "non-living" weapons systems or to

living "human systems"?" -- I found myself answering, "Human Systems, of

course, at least usually -- but what happens when the human systems are in

fact weapons systems? And where do you draw the line between them anyhow?

Thank you for the quotes, Filiz. You are right that I am talking only

about the physical TV set. And my comment that "perhaps I understand" was

related to the sort of quotes that you gave.

 

Of course, in one sense, "humans never die". Buried or cremated, they

change form, and in some way, feed the new cycle of life.

 

But does not there need to be a difference bertween the way we "treat"

living systems vs "non-living" systems? For instance, do we give more

respect to "non-living" weapons systems or to living "human systems"?
