the soul is also a collective being right so you know you have to have done your own individual work so to speak before you do that because otherwise you're going to have conflicts with the with the collective because you know if you're not yet individuated you're going to have issues with a collective because you have to be paradoxically an individual in order to actually fully function within a collective without being swallowed

it isn't just about alleviating their own personal suffering it's also about alleviating Universal suffering so this is where the the bodh satra or the Christ or those kinds of archetypes about being concerned about the whole
for - example - individual's evolutionary learning journey - new self revisiting old self and gaining new insight - universal compassion of Buddhism and the individual / collective gestalt - adjacency - the universal compassion of the bodhisattva - Deep humanity idea of the individual / collective gestalt - the Deep Humanity Common Human Denominators (CHD) as pointing to the self / other fundamental identity - Freud, Winnicott, Kline's idea of the self formed by relationship with the other, in particular the mOTHER (Deep Humanity), the Most significant OTHER
adjacency - between - the universal compassion of the bodhisattva - Deep humanity idea of the individual / collective gestalt - the Deep Humanity Common Human Denominators (CHD) as pointing to the self / other fundamental identity - Freud, Winnicott, Kline's idea of the self formed by relationship with the other, in particular the mOTHER (Deep Humanity), the Most significant OTHER - adjacency relationship - When I heard John Churchill explain the second turning, - the Mahayana approach, - I was already familiar with it from my many decades of Buddhist teaching but with - those teachings in the rear view mirror of my life and - developing an open source, non-denominational spirituality (Deep Humanity) - Hearing these old teachings again, mixed with the new ideas of the individual / collective gestalt - This becomes an example of Indyweb idea of recording our individual evolutionary learning journey and - the present self meeting the old self - When this happens, new adjacencies can often surface - In this case, due to my own situatedness in life, the universal compassion of the bodhisattva can be articulated from a Deep Humanity perspective: - The Freudian, Klinian, Winnicott and Becker perspective of the individual as being constructed out of the early childhood social interactions with the mOTHER, - a Deep Humanity re-interpretation of "mother" to "mOTHER" to mean "the Most significant OTHER" of the newly born neonate. - A deep realization that OUR OWN SELF IDENTITY WAS CONSTRUCTED out of a SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP with mOTHER demonstrates our intertwingled individual/collective and self/other - The Deep Humanity "Common Human Denominators" (CHD) are a way to deeply APPRECIATE those qualities human beings have in common with each other - Later on, Churchill talks about how the sacred is lost in western modernity - A first step in that direction is treating other humans as sacred, then after that, to treat ALL life as sacred - Using tools like the CHD help us to find fundamental similarities while divisive differences might be polarizing and driving us apart - A universal compassion is only possible if we vividly see how we are constructed of the other - Another way to say this is that we see others not from an individual level, but from a species level

I think one of the other mistakes that have been made in biology of the 20th century was
for - individual / collective gestalt - gene centrism - paradigm shift - adjacency - mistake of 20th century biology - reductionism - separating organism from environment - individual / collective gestalt, individual / environment gestalt - quote - mistake of 20th century biology - Ray Noble - key insight - mistake of 20th century biology- Ray Noble
quote - mistake of 20th century biology - Ray Noble - (see below)
- I think one of the other mistakes that have been made in biology of the 20th century
- was to treat organisms as if they existed within an environment that was sort of like some nebulous box as it were
- and you could study the organism by taking it out
- and you study it in isolation
- It's the beginning of reductionism in a sense because
- you taken it away from the environment but the organism has an intimate relationship with the environment
- It's feeding both
- to the environment and
- from the environment
- What is that environment?
- That environment in large part is
- other organisms of the same species but
- other organisms of different species
- That environment in large part is
- and it's in a continuous bubble of change
- It's like a cauldron of change
- So the big question for life is
- how do you maintain yourself in this cauldron of change?
- You cannot do it by standing still
- You have to respond to it
- so it's not surprising therefore that you find that you know organisms have mechanisms for responding to those changes
adjacency - mistake of 20th century biology - between - reductionism - separating organism from environment - individual / collective gestalt, - individual / environment gestalt - adjacency relationship - The mistake that 20th century biology has made is in - ascribing too much power to the gene, and - minimizing the role of epigenetics - Focusing the majority of attention and resources on the genes of the organism, and - defocusing attention on the organisms (epigenetic) interactions with the environment, including both - biotic elements and - abiotic elements - It's not the case that the genes are the major determinant factor and the epigenetics play a minor role - It IS the case that epigenetics play an equally important role in transmitting and assimilating features into the genome - The individual organism is intertwingled with its environment and with other living organisms - The individual / collective gestalt and the individual / environment gestalt is the appropriate unit of study

Doing that requires new approaches to organizing for transformation where multiple initiatives connect, cohere, and amplify their individual and collective transformative action
for - key insight - global movement requirements - new organising system - indyweb /Indranet - people-centered - interpersonal - individual collective gestalt - a foundational idea of indyweb / Indranet epistemology - Deep Humanity - epistemological foundation of indyweb / Indranet
- The world cannot wait
- for us to learn or know everything that we need to know
- for bringing about purposeful system change
- towards desired and broadly shared aspirations
- for a more

- The key question before us is
- how to become transformation catalysts

- to form
- purposeful and
- action-oriented
- transformation systems
- that build on the collective strength inherent

Comment - indyweb / Indranet is ideally suited for this - seeing the mention of individual and collective in a sentence surfaced the new Deep Humanity concept of individual collective gestalt that is intrinsic to the epistemological foundation of the Indyweb / Indranet - This is reflected in the words to describe the Indyweb / Indranet as people-centered and interpersonal

In the neoliberal era, individuals are forced to assume sole responsibility for navigating “every hardship and every difficulty—from poverty to student debt to home eviction to drug addiction.” When the pandemic exacerbated these hardships, it was an uphill battle to build solidarity and convince people to support collective solutions. After a lifetime of being told they were on their own, “a subset of the population” doubled down on individualism. It does not, now, seem surprising to Klein that they essentially said, “Fuck you: we won’t mask or jab

key insight: neoliberalism and failure of collective action
- neoliberalism's continuous assault on society has striped use off any support system, leaving us to fend for ourselves
- when polycrisis events occur, it provokes a distrust of any attempt at government intervention
- this is a sign of things to come when climate chaos will accelerate social breakdown

When the tribe is not a cohesive group but an assemblage of thousands or millions whose only commonality is the place they call home, what exactly does the “collective interest” even mean?
- for: collective interest,
- paraphrase
- When the tribe is not a cohesive group but an assemblage of thousands or millions whose only commonality is the place they call home,
- what exactly does the “collective interest” even mean?
- By contrast, the interests of individuals and groups within the larger goup, such as
- unlicensed gun owners,
- protesters of various stripes, or
- hate-mongers on social media
- are pretty easy to delineate.
- No surprise then that the dysfunctional courts often choose
- personal interests over
- an amorphous and undefinable “collective interest”.
- When the tribe is not a cohesive group but an assemblage of thousands or millions whose only commonality is the place they call home,
- insight
- reason why the judicial system often sides with a definitive, but often harmful group, over a vague but beneficial group
