Unsettling Our Common Sense

The world is a mess.

Mechanisms can't cope with messes. But people can.

Here is a pair of important questions for anyone who wants to address the world's messes:

1. What so special about people that we can cope with messes? Find that! Conserve that! Expand that! Apply that!
2. How can we unsettle our common sense that supports and promotes mechanisms (e.g., technologies in the outer world, and fixed reactions/conditioned tendencies in the inner world).

Here is a hint ... work with the fears that support and reinforce the mechanisms until you discover that who you truly are is really more than big enough to cope with the messes.  Oh ... and the messes ... they are mostly if not wholly created by our fixed reactions to our fears.

Take care,
