Tuning into Life with Conscience

Being in tune with life means being honest about reality which is perceived through our senses and our technological devices. Otherwise information becomes meaningless as nice as their form, as impressive as their dissemination might be. Further, life itself makes us search for certainty about the true causes of reality changes. Being in tune requires that we give in and honestly search for certainty by overcoming our false righteousness and letting go of emotionally assumed power. While people are avoiding these basic demands of life by being involved with their ego-centered visions, are being confused, emotional, have no time to look at the true causes of reality, our cultural, economic and organizational problems cannot be solved on a purely organizational level by structural changes. We tend to assume that the established kind of exchange and information processing is sufficient, yet based on facts, we know it is not! The signals are overwhelmingly clear, and most people even in rich Switzerland are becoming increasingly afraid of losing their jobs, not to mention the other aspects of their lives, let alone those of the rest of the world. The actual emotional simplifications and the missing inner involvement have effects on human cooperation similar to the effects of fast-food on the body; over-eating and mal-nutrition on the one hand, information flooding and confusion on the other hand!

Only humans with minds able to frame their experience within the essence of life and being can detach in time from misguided mass movements and other temptations. Only then can they take personal initiatives to confront and transform social threats and make use of them to contribute to reframing culture with integrity. It is those initiatives that make the difference and create the innovations necessary to overcome the man-made problems. High quality human involvement in Timely Exchange of Project-Orientated Competence, is the only dynamic that can save cultures and organizations from their otherwise innate decay. Managing High-tech alone cannot do it, nor coaching based on idealization. In the post-modern time the Internet is a chance to do both, one-to-one, on-site TEPOC and enhance the remote connections with multi-media web-technologies.

The creative C3-understanding that APS® provides and catalyses going beyond considering humans as merely social units of society; it acknowledges that we are Creatures of a Creator in his Creation! It models that potential and not the man-made virtualities. Having this understanding available, motivates interested people to become change agents who can be ahead of the problems of their time.

At some time we all take c3-initiatives by communicating to update each other, control the ongoing change, and where do not understand fulfillment, command others to deregulate their hidden agenda in favor of ours. Understanding this basic meaning of the tension between individuals and their relationships in society is not a matter of conviction or belief, but rather a matter of identifying and acknowledging the innate potential of oneself and others. Consciously enhancing and expressing it then becomes meaningful by adequately modeling it consciously, with or without the opinions of the mass, beyond political correctness....
