OP2 - Abstract and Specification

Thank you for reviewing my Output Packet 2 on Self Development and Collective Consciousness. The page you are reading gives an introduction, abstract and overview of this OP. You can also use the Table of Contents to navigate through this OP from this very first page. There are 5 pages with each page having a different layout and design. Most of the content of each page is conveyed in the page title or outlined in the Tables of Content. Generally, the stories/ideas are narrated from left to right. I have also included in this report some attachments and other supporting evidence like  journals, and my current skillflexes.

Happy Reading!

The greatest positive changes as well as negative changes in the world started from the 'I'. As we move into that awareness of reducing our negative footprints, there is a call to realise that the 'I' plays a very important role in making that shift. To solve the problems of today and tomorrow we need to transform ourselves and the world around us. But to do that on the global scale that is required for humanity to survive and thrive into the future, we must first transform the systems that shape and mold us. The fields of permaculture and regenerative design are leading the way in embracing a new paradigm in education, and we are called to start shifting from within. A lot of structures (education, management) have been put in place to make this happen, but there is much work left to be done. In the Core Report we will look at several shades of self development, context and processes involved in transforming oneself and how that all wires up into the creation of a moral person, who is seen and appreciated for the work they do by just communicating it in the right way. We will also be looking at communication as an art and how to make use of available resources to market ourselves. The question to be answered is how do we move from the I to WE to World consciousness? This OP is exploring the connection between our individual selves, the community in which we leave/work and asserting an EcoSocial design perspective that allows us to operate from the I, while effecting change in the wider community.

For this OP I used the model I developed during my LIPD cycle, the I, WE and World pattern except for that, the pattern has been developed from just theory into a practical, hands-on tool that could be used to transform lives. The layout of the OP itself was designed in a hand drawn mind map and developed as I carried out research on the different pieces. The goal of this OP is:

- To advance my understanding of the 'I' and able to make efficient use of it.

- To improve my understanding of collective consciousness and how to weave the social, spiritual, ecology and economic threads to form a self reliant being or system.

- To advance my knowledge on active documentation and acquire communication skills that address 21 century needs.
