1. Why becoming aware & seeing the interconnectedness of things matters.
Dr. Iain McGilchrist, medical doctor and psychiatrist from Scotland/UK, wrote the books:
“The master and his emissary” and “The matter with things.” - both books provide us with valuble insights of what it means to ‘be of a healthy mind’..

2. Map it. Why? Make your thinking visible!
‘Mapping’ means:
“Make your thinking visible!”
By seeing, we can understand.
In order for us to understand where we have to / want to go, we need to know where we come from [our path/history], i.e. how we came here, where we are now.
Only by figuring this out..[ please log in to your personal fellowship a count to read on ]

3. Get organisation & structure. Gain insights & clarity. Plan for today, tomorrow & beyond.
Over the past decades we noticed disintegration in people, families, communities as well as governments and countries.
The foundation of organisation starts in each and every single human being.
In order to become a
whole human being

The way we pay attention determines what we are able perceive and see.
Humans biologically evolved to be enabled to perceive in a certain bandwidth only.
[i.e. we are not built to perceive that what is outside our bandwidth. In biochemistry, bandwidth it is the optimum state in which we remain healthy.}. However..[ please log in to your personal fellowship a count to read on ]

5. Being response-able & the quality of responsiveness
In a lot of organisations employees are ordered / degraded to:
follow ‘process’ or ‘protocol’ - their voice is silenced and in the worst case a ‘power over’ is enforced. This instead of a healthy collaboration through ‘power with’ - and asking for consent.This ‘silencing’ leads to..

6. FOREST [example] Think things through thoroughly - or why 'due diligence' matters - to 'make it right'!
Our environment has trained our brains to take ‘short-cuts’ - most of the time - since we are artificially put under ‘time pressure’ and taught to perceive the world in a fragmented way. This leads..

9. How AI changes the way we perceive & are able to think.
