I watched a program the other day on Emergence. I like using simple explanations for complicated things - because that's how nature does it. So bizarre how nature provides us with answers to every day problems.
Emergence is the property in nature that guides a flock of birds or a school of fish - since there is NO LEADER how is this process guided?
It's guided from the ground up. It's guided by the individuals in the system of birds or fish.. And it works because none of them is trying to lead or follow. Each element (or animal ) in the system has a specific function or behavior that all adhere to. There is no leader in a flock of birds yet - they move together in harmony. There is no leader in a school of fish - but it's one beautiful event to see a large school of fish moving as one gigantic organism through the sea.
People, survived for hundreds of thousands of years - as a group, a village, a family, a community thriving off of each individuals contribution to the whole.. and we conquered the world with it. There were times where tribes and cultures ruled.
Today's corporate structures don't follow that plan and we forget the success rate we had as a species for so long - when we watch out for others, when we cared for what we shared instead of what we owned. When we remember that we cannot own what was there before we arrived. And we cannot keep what we cannot use. Today we are missing our humanity.
So when we think of how to regain what we lost - we can learn from nature that in situations when numbers are great and resources are scarce the individual thrives when as a community they contribute, consume, and operate together..schools of fish or flocks of birds.. or people earning their keep.

recognize relationships and your contributions to their current state.
When you get on a bus.
You recognize the driver - but do you know, he is your partner...
Yes he gets around... he's everyone's partner...
people get on the bus with expectations - that the driver will -
a) knows the route...
b) recognizes your communication signals ( what a bell ring means )
c) can control the vehicle well enough to get you to your destinations safely...
His expectation is that you pay your fare - and honor the "DO NOT..." signs all over the bus...
EVERY relationship has three things that make it a relationship.
1...your partner knows their role. as well as a bus driver knows his route.
2...a tool kit available to allow for proper communications -( you both need compatible kits!)-
3...a trust that your partner and you can both navigate the course ( life ) without loosing step -- see expectations 1 and two...
come back again to see what roles work for partners...
I cant say man and woman because people these days have entered a desperate state to maintain..
where the roles must be swapped some times for survival... if you have been there you know what I mean...
sometimes daddy gotta watch the kids! lol
While mama brings home the bacon...for him to burn....
lol
My next post will answer the age old question :
What does this person want from me and why can't they give me ( or even see some times )
what I need!!!
be well
talk soon
