what is the ‘e’ in Bento? Beyond ego in near term orientation?

BEyond Near Term Orientation. Some poetic license there.

Yancey Strickler thank you for the rebel and wisdom lecture yesterday and allowing us to spend time with the strange concept of boxes. Being of always thinking outside the box, I was reluctant to participate with a box in linear thinking. My argument with most these processes is that we are taught to exaggerate in this ‘economy’, this is an ingrained culture we call ‘survival of the fittest’ and survival of the fittest makes the most ‘fitted box’ of projections. My random partner in the break out, was indeed my former self, and likely my mirror to study. What transpired was a list of big words with no tangible truth or achievable actions to measure. ‘spend more time with son’ ‘accommodate complexity’ ‘deep relations’ ‘compassion’ ‘solutions that involve complexity’ my own notes, ‘end individualism’. ‘bring only stories of significance and discovery’ plant at least one seed per day, either in another’s brain or in the garden, this is endless growth, not the present versions of endless waste. expect death and the failure of people, so we can again begin to take care of each other. In another note on the chat, I suggested the linkage to the ‘glass bead game’ as a partner process to this model, the glass bead game is a self reflective invitation in understanding one’s self conscious of ambiguities we are given to language and its meaning. Having studied ‘non violent communication’ and practiced it for many years, a newer dimension is possible in human discourse to avoid conflict from ambiguity. The world is full of ‘ism’ and all ism’s divide into eventual war of ‘the other’.
