The Profundity and Bifurcation of Change Part II: Learning from the Past - Paperback

by David Bennet (Author), Arthur Shelley (Author), Theresa Bullard (Author)

This is Part II (and Book 2) of The Profundity and Bifurcation of Change series, which details the human progression through the Intelligent Social Change Journey (ISCJ). This is a developmental journey of the body, mind and heart, moving from the heaviness of cause-and-effect linear extrapolations, to the fluidity of co-evolving with our environment, to the lightness of breathing our thought and feelings into reality. We are on this journey together. Change does not occur in isolation. As detailed in this book, Phase 1 of the Intelligent Social Change Journey (ISCJ) is focused on the linear cause-and-effect relationships of logical thinking. Knowledge, situation dependent and context sensitive, is a product of the past. Phase 1 assumes that for every effect there is an originating cause. This is where we as a humanity, and as individuals, begin to develop our mental faculties. In this book we explore cause and effect, scan a kaleidoscope of change models, and review the modalities of change. Since change is easier and more fluid when we are grounded, we explore three interpretations of grounding. In preparation for expanding our consciousness, a readiness assessment and sample change agent's strategy are provided.Today we are in the midst of a consciousness shift. The content of this book helps surface and connect the amazing developmental journey underway in which we all play a leading role-whether as a participant, resister or observer-in engaging this consciousness shift. "Wow! I loved it! The wealth of the ideas! The wise weaving of the multiple perspectives! This is a great guiding tool for anybody who wishes to lead change instead of being led by it! The authors did a great job in creating a very rich body of knowledge on change-how to understand it on all levels-micro and macro-how to deal with it, how to turn it into a journey full of opportunities. This is both inspiring and practical-sheer joy! Bravo!" -Edna Pasher, Founder and Chair of Pasher Associates and of ISCI (Israel Smart Cities Institute) and of Status - Management Magazine.
