What if it is all the Truth ?
I have one major rule: Everybody is right. More specifically, everybody — including me —
has some important pieces of truth, and all of those pieces need to be honored,
cherished, and included in a more gracious, spacious, and compassionate embrace. Ken Wilber
To which I (Haley) add... we each hold a piece that is not as 'right 'as we think. As we engage in the conversation
the endgame is to discover the pieces that together make a fuller picture of the 'right'. Something has to give for each of us.
Perhaps the context changes, or how we get to the ideal outcome, or the outcome is re-imagined.
Perhaps there is even something deep in our underlying worldviews that needs to be examined.
If we are intellectually honest, isn't it an honorable thing to discover where in our thinking we are 'less than right'?
When we correct our errors and integrations in our thinking, could it make the truth clearer?
Can we discover ways of being in the face of disagreeing, differing and diverse opinions?
Is it possible to generate a commitment to an evolving, revolving, growing truth?
Might we make the world a better place simply by focusing on our own sphere of influence?
The NATURE OF HUMAN BEINGS
Genetics
We've learned that genetics has an impact on our life. From one's
appearance, conformational driven abilities and talents, to how much we like grapes, raisons, lemons and salmon-it is influenced by genes.
Upbringing
Our family of origin and culture has an impact as well. Learning language, personal space bubble, valuing different perspectives, using a fork and spoon are examples of learned behavior.
Choice and Chance
Genetics and upbringing merge to create a brain that finds some choices easier to make than others. Souls may be self-made, but made within, on top of, and out of, what each individual inherits and the chance circumstances in
which s/he finds themselves.
