'to err is human' ... humanity includes the maddening and uncanny ability to be dishonest to oneself.... collectively at scale... in the name of 'love'...
Thanks for this Karen. It's helping me better discern the essence of 'quantum', and I particularly appreciated the connection of honesty to integrity and wholeness. I think I can mobilise 'quantum' as reflecting and 'powering' an ever-more-whole-making impulse, harnessing entanglement and interpenetrability. It could be part of 'still-point-seeking' in a polarity practice management context. Will ponder, and wonder, further (I am particularly attracted to 'wondering, pondering, and beyonding')
What I keep seeing is how many pressures and incentives drive us away from truth. Most of us are stuck in a media vortex where algorithms, propaganda, and silos keep funneling us in ever narrower tunnels, which keep collapsing more layers of truth into flat black and white. How can we modify the systems of our attention economy to encourage us to see the world in its complexity when the economic incentive is always to herd us toward oversimplified belief or objects to consume? And when social groups punish dissent and simple answers reward us with righteousness and seamless denial, what incentive do people have to sit with the discomfort of multifaceted truth?
