Thoughts on Self Organizing

[Douglas D. Germann, Sr.]

Cheryl--

Good metaphors, Cheryl. Thanks!

Is it possible that people may think they want solutions that have been
successful--but they do not want them for their own group. The point is
that what worked for the other group fit the other group, but not the new
group. So the prior solution cannot be adopted as is--there *must* be some
blood, sweat and tears our group puts into it or it will not work for us,
if only because we won't be committed to it.

Something I read just the last day or so is back on this matter of
organizing--I think it was in Buber. You can only organize the past, never
the present or the future. The past is not alive. Thus, when we organize,
we are organizing the dead.

I am beginning to believe that the self is all of us. There are lot of us
(individuals), but there is only one we. So self-inviting?
