Chaos & ConsciousnessAll systems, even simple systems, become chaotic as they approach their limits. Rocks in a desert erode into unpredictable shapes. Ethics and morals become flexible under stress. Entropy prevails.
According to the Buddhist Diamond Sutra, you can find chaos in order, and order in chaos, if you use your mind as an organizing principle. The organizing principle we focus on in our changework is integrity - a stable experience of connectedness, integration and purpose - an ongoing experience of self-as-system that need not fade with passing time. Perhaps integrity can only be given by someone who has it! When people approach the experience of integrity, not just the descriptions, they often describe a series of non-ordinary realities (we call them ecstatic states) that seem to represent stages of undifferentiated consciousness. These experiences can be characterized as non-linear, self-generating and self-organizing. (Some people likened these experiences to fractals - computer generated visualizations of mathematical equations; and describe endless complexity within tiny details of experience.)

During our systemic coaching, if you prefer not to suffer, we can help you change the "you" that chose inefficient, self-sabotage or masochistic behavior. (We often call this identity work as much of our systemic coaching helps people change their sense of identity).
We can help you experience a phase space that contains both chaos and order, in which you can redesign and rebuild your identity - a "new you" - in alignment with your chosen mission or purpose. (This is easier to demonstrate than to describe!) You can literally make up your mind - and recreate yourself out of nothing. Human Identity is a ProcessNative Hawaiians told me that the volcano goddess, Pele, destroys old land to create new land. New governments are often created during crisis and revolution. Order can be renewed in chaos.
If, in a complex system, an identity (organizing principle) becomes obsolete, the system degenerates into chaos - unless or until other potential identities emerge. In human systems, different leaders will differently evaluate relationships, find different solutions and differently manage or control behaviors. If you are afraid to change your beliefs, or if you identify with your beliefs, your beliefs are your limits. If you are comfortable only within your beliefs, you may fear whatever might move you beyond them. But your comfort is temporary. Sooner or later, life will push you into unknown territories. We cannot defend you against complexity - rather we can help you accelerate and intensify your movement through it. If you recycle your old self (phase transition) - you lose yourself to gain a new sense of life. A new identity (attractor) can coordinate appropriate new values and beliefs. Your new experience of self (identity), can re-organize your relationships within your environment.
The I of the CycloneAs tiny changes in initial conditions can lead to enormous differences in effect, creating the seed of a new human identity is a significant event. We often initiate transition with a seed question, "What do you want?". Exploring your answers can lead, step by step, to your core desires ... to your life goals ... to your sense of mission. Then transformation makes sense and fulfillment is worth any effort. If you have a mission worth fulfilling, you will find ways to take the next step.
Your identity organizes your behavior within your environment. If your behavior or your environment reaches a limit, you can regenerate your identity or you can suffer the consequences, which include disease, depression, anxiety or rage ... or sometimes the end of identity - destruction or suicide. We help people solve the consequences of clinging to old beliefs, which include:
We can guide you through and past these traps. As with a super-saturated solution, a seed crystal of your congruent desire provides a nucleus for a new core identity - a new organizing principle for life that you automatically express in your thoughts, beliefs and actions. If you rebuild your identity while focused on a well-formed outcome, a congruent life goal, your new identity will automatically focus your behavior on your chosen mission. See Quantum Thinking.
Perceiving people as complex systems can complement classical, Altered StatesAs tiny differences in initial conditions can make huge differences in the subsequent behavior of a system, we coach people to focus on positive, congruent goals. Focusing on conflicting goals can produce more than one attractor (resulting in identity conflict). Focusing on somebody else's goal can produce an attractor based on a role model (resulting in identification). Focusing on a negative goal (E.g. "I don't want ...") may not form an attractor (resulting in identity loss). This journey can lead people to a sense of connectedness and integration, to the Soul of Soulwork. You are not separate from the universe, you are part of all-that-is. You reflect the whole and you can feel connected with the whole. Many people describe these experiences as transcendental. You can make space for a new identity, and for new life patterns that support your chosen mission.
