Quotes

"Dialogue is mutual search for a new reality, not debate to win with stronger arguments. In a dialogue propositions are pointers toward a common new reality; not against each other to win a verbal battle, but complementing each other in an effort to accommodate legitimate goals of all parties, inspired by theories and values, and constructive-creative-concrete enough to become a causa finalis". Galtuung


"I use the concept of affect as away of talking about a margin of manouverability, the 'where we might be able to go' and 'what we might be able to do' in every present situation. I guess 'affect' is a word I use for 'hope': Massumi


"A discourse is a system of words, actions, rules, beliefs, and institutions that share common values. Particular discourses sustain particular worldviews. We might even think of a discourse as a worldview in action. Discourses tend to be invisible--taken for granted as part of the fabric of reality."Fairclough


Emergence is “the principle that entities exhibit properties which are meaningful only when attributed to the whole, not to its parts.” Checkland


"What the designer cares about is whether the user perceives that some action is possible (or in the case of perceived non-affordances, not possible)." Norman

allowing

1. Continuance of flow..
2. A means of crossing over flow without blocking it...
3. A means of observing flow..


1. In Practise of Creative Flow:

The point of intellect is as a critical steersman to navigate to the "target.." (mission,value, aim?)(collective/individual?)

However in relation to self organising systems it can be a block which stops us

Much as a short term target can sometimes blind us from a long term mission...

2. In a Meta Context:

It can offer an overview of both critical practise and experimental expressive flow providing space and structure for a positive relation between the two to develop...

3. Observing Flow:

We can choose to observe expressive flow, suspend judgement, and look back at the outcome and join the dots later...


creative flow can sometime get confused with desires/fear based on imagery/stereotypes which can be imposed...

*The value of intellect is that it can critique itself.... thus provide space for positive creative flow, and at the same time protect us from potentially dangerous emotive expression based on divisive imagery...


*The danger of the intellect is that is can cut us off from allowing and exploring the self organising nature of our random creative expressive flow which can be a key to developing and maintining a wholistic faith...
