Emergent Thinking is a transformative process that I have developed to assist people in their personal evolution and self-actualization. The foundation of this approach is based very simply upon learning to utilize and integrate many of the remarkable discoveries of the emerging sciences (quantum physics, complexity theory).
I have come to see that most of our struggles and impediments are due to the manner in which we see reality. Regrettably, most of us still cling to the truths of 17th century science, fostered by the teachings of Sir Isaac Newton. Although very helpful in catalyzing industrial and technological advances, this worldview has severly constrained many aspects of our humanity.
A worldview informs the way in which we see reality. Over time, new worldviews usher in new pictures of reality. Newton’s paradigm suggested that the universe was to be pictured as a giant machine (mechanistic) comprised of separate things (thingness) only causally connected. From this vantage point, predictablity, determinism and redcutive, analytic thinking became the epsitemological bias that shaped our reality. And in so doing our life experience was put into a straitjacket. We became the cogs in the machine, disconnected from one another and the universe at large. Moroever, our thinking became burdened by a relentless tendencys is analyze and measure. As such, we lost the flow of life and partitioned ourselves from a participatory and flowing wholeness. We essentially lost our sense of belonging, depriving us of meaning and purpose. The manner in which we were trained to think, to see and to live became a reductive exercise, forever rupturing and fragmenting the richer flow of life.
From this servitude to analytic, reductive and mechanistic reality, we became the victims of our own worldview. The epidemic of anxiety and depression that engulfs our experience may be traced to this outmoded worldview. The inexorable measuring, analyzing and fragmenting of our thinking will undoubtedly lead to these and othere psycholigcal and emotional dysfunctions.
The solutions to these challenges lays in shifting our worldview, coming into harmony with the natural flow of the universe. To that end, the Emerging Thinking process integrates this new worldview into our thinking and our lives, liberating us from the limitations that so constrain us.
