We have managed to flatten our inherent dynamic complexity, our way of being-in-the-world, mainly by way of the Cartesian ontology we have been born into (culture, family, education, work), and this has seriously limited our self-understanding as integral , complex and trans-leveled evolving systems in a continuous flux of change.
Having experienced the limits of a modern and even post-modern way of being, I believe that my accountability and response-hability (in self, culture and nature) cannot operate from an egocentric worldview, not even from an ethnocentric worldview, but require a worldcentric approach. As Einstein put it, humankind cannot solve our problems from the same place of consciousness in which we created them. In this context, I find it absolutely imperative to ask: What do I want to preserve, rather than change, in the current state of the world?
I have found a great and challenging opportunity to question my questions in my own personal conscious evolution . From there, I have shifted my own structure of interpretation through new distinctions, and these have expanded my observer into a more comprehensive and integral paradigm, allowing me to appear differently in the world.
Acknowledging our observer (values, beliefs, purpose and behavior) in the way we construct and organize knowledge and wisdom seems to be the major challenge in dealing with an increasingly complex and demanding globalized knowledge economy, as our mental and institutional structures continue to hold us back. I believe we must strive not to fragment knowledge, and use a systems, dialogic and circular loop paradigm as what Edgar Morin calls the “linking operator.” In this great emergence of possibilities, the challenge would be paying attention to the fundamental change of worldview that is occurring in science and society, the unfolding of a new vision of reality, and the social implications of this cultural transformation (Capra, 2002).
Some of the questions that lie at the heart of my work include: What type of leadership, organizations and institutions are required for personal and collective evolution? What type of thinking, values, maps, tools and competencies are required to operate from a worldcentric center of gravity? What are the relational dynamics between the ecologies of human beings, collectives and the environment? What are the visions, motivations, opportunities and strategies that will be available from this way of thinking? How do we purposefully tap into creativity from this new observer?
I feel most attracted to collaborate with individuals, organizations and institutions that are designing this new type of DNA, willing to challenge their own underlying assumptions about why, what for and how they do what they do.
In me you will find servant leadership along with openness, passion, curiosity and engagement.
As a historical and learning being, I offer my ability for co-creating the conditions for accessing our collective intelligence, and have a lot of fun while doing it, as well as my experiences and on-going actualizing structure of interpretation and self-observation.
