Escape
When we get out of the glass bottles of our own ego,
and when we escape like squirrels from turning in the
cages of our personality
and get into the forest again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us
so that we don't know ourselves.
Cool, unlying life will rush in,
and passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power
and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh,
and institutions will curl up like
burnt paper.

Why This? Why Now?

Increasing Complexity
![Page 7: If You Till It, They Will Come](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a92ecaf795979438b4591/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

ComplexityIt is less likely that a single individual will
come up with a single answer. It is necessary
to tap the wisdom, intelligence, greater
capacity of the collective.

Distributed NetworksRather than having everyone in the same
place and having everyone say something
then and there, we can create more
distributed (small world reach) situations,
where different leaders emerge over time.

Systems vs. Individuals
![Page 13: If You Till It, They Will Come](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a92ecaf795979438b4591/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Systems vs. IndividualsWe often approach systemic problems and try
to resolve these as individuals. We need to
think about what we can do engage more of
the system to resolve complex issues.
Otherwise we experience the futility of our
narrow views and efforts.

Who might block what we are trying to do?
Who has relevant expertise or information?
Who are the implementers of key decisions?
Who will be affected by what we are trying to
do?
Who will need to be informed about our
outcomes?

High Threshold InvitationInvitation is the call to create an alternative
future. What is the invitation we can make to
support people to participate and own the
relationships, tasks, and process that lead to
success? Be specific and provide some
hurdles. – Peter Block “I want you to leave your interests at the door. Because we’re
not solving a problem, you don’t have to represent your
constituency; you just have to show up and make contact.”

thriving?
What would this system look like if it were
thriving?
