« Home Again | Main | The intercontextual and paradigmatic self »
August 25, 2006
10 years from now. . . .
Buddhists and Futurists will be working together to create contexts for the development and implementation of virtual selves. These viritual selves will encompass our "imagined, visionary self/selves" as we work toward actualizing our "liveability quotient." On our path, we'll enlist the assistance of buddhists and futurists to guide us to imagine, develop and experience contexts in which selves can be successfully implemented, maintained, and changed.
Important concepts in this process:
--mindfulness
--holism
--convergence
--divergence
--experiencing both fragmentation and unity of the self
This process will involve developing multicultural, intercultural, and paradigmatic selves. We'll be practicing letting go of rigid role definitions.
