[Oe List ...] ORID—A “Life” Method

[Sherwood Shankland]

A slightly different aspect – the practice of stating our intention for a conversation with both Rational and Experiential Aim(s) sets the stage for exploring the reflective / reflexive / gut level questions and thus tapping the vast resource of personal reactions, memories and experience of the participants. If only Rational Aims / purpose / objectives are stated then O / I / D will do just fine, and miss the potential depth to emerge. / Sherwood

Margaret Wheatley's  process seems to leave out the reflective step.

Our decision to insist on going through the reflective level was critical to our way of thinking and our collective presence in the world. 

 

I was reminded of Jung's statement when listening to Meryl Streep recently-

C.G. Jung: “There is no change from darkness to light or from inertia to movement without emotion

​

​I am also reminded of what Rebekah (daughter)​ was quoted in the NEW YORKER as saying about the election.

 

​“Bernie and Hillary tend to use concrete language,” she explained, “whereas the Republican contenders—with the possible exception of Kasich—tend to use descriptive language. I think that’s partly why Trump’s speech is so resonant with his supporters: he’s speaking to them on an emotional plane."

 

 

Allowing the reflective to be an integral part of our lives ​and standing present to it provides a more inclusive context.
