Evoking The Dream

Learning to inquire together about what matters most is some of the most significant work i can imagine. Our Isolation, our Investment in positions and roles, our defence of our own limits, fuel the condition of thinking alone. Dialogue represents a new frontier for human beings-perhaps the true final frontier.

In it we can come to know ourselves and our relatedness to the whole of Life.

Almost everyone dreams about the power that could be harnessed by groups of people thinking together. This dream seems present every time people come together : This time, they wonder, might something be different?

We hear in this a promise, however difficult it is to realize, that somehow this work might activate the collective power of human beings-something that goes vastly beyond what any one of us can do on our own. This potential is not only a dream, I believe, but a deep memory, one still smoldering in embers of ancient fires.

But to access that dream and make it a practical reality today requires that we relight these passions and recall the memory of a unique but deeply familiar kind of speaking and listening.
