beyond the
Spirit of the Times (zeitgeist) - by Dr. Peter
Meier
Introduction and Focus
Matter: When things go from bad to
worse; very bad, its time for reframing. And that is the case for the
knowledge work concerning real human systems, consisting of
individuals, relationships, teams, organizations, cultures, states and
international organizations. However this requires enough focused
dissatisfaction from those concerned, but without throwing out the
baby with the bathwater as we have seen in many revolutions.
Space: To solve this problem we
can no longer storm and occupy a palace, and get rid of a figure head!
Instead,
each of a
critical number of people's genuine "I" has to do just that in
his or her mind. And do it in spite of the threatening fact that most
people's minds are still formatted and thus largely under the rule of
the zeitgeist, e.g. the spirit of the times, and
its priests, intellectuals, politicians and managers!
Energy: Such a move
beyond prevailing habits requires inner motivators to process the
worldly concepts towards restoring ones integrity so that one can
be one's self, and with that, coherence in relation to the essence of one's
fellow human beings.
Time: Such a shift
in the meaning of substance underlying a fulfilled life requires
the insight, that there is such an animating substance and that its
impact is similar to the laws of nature on inanimate nature.
Having thus highlighted the
basic aspects of lifefulfillment as M=Matter, S=Space, E=Energy,
and T=Time, we need a way to model it in a personally relevant
way, in order to implement it in reframing one's personal P=references
to one's past, the meaning of the N=now occurring experience of
the present now, and the F=focus on the future life- through task
fulfillment beyond it.
This focus on the thus real
human existence entails the concept of the essence of a personally
relevant human life having the nature of an
OEGP, an open-ended
generative principle. Open for one's being to
fulfill its essence by the end of one's life, so that one thus becomes
open to generate with one's life according to the principle
which best models it. That is what desirable consciousness is all about
in contrast to the prevailing overwriting of it with what is "in" in the
zeitgeist.
In short my 'I', and yours,
exist to overcome the zeitgeist by fulfilling the essence
of your being with the life you were give by the creator, in his
creation, with due respect to his creators. This
self-determined big C3-approach contrasts with what the zeitgeist has put in your mind, the small c3-ideology of competition for
commanding beyond the creator, controlling his creation in
tune with one's desire amplified by communicating them to
convince one's fellow creatures and thus oneself.
