Dear Jack

Please circulate/share as you find appropriate

I too felt energized from our conversation on Monday. I was inspired by the

developments of our 'languages of inclusionality' 

I hope to be able to apply:

i) the 'seeing through' and 'feeling beyond' the 'logic of conflict'  

that makes an enemy of other by opposing 'it' (cf. Hamlet), to a  

joyful appreciation of the source of evolutionary creativity to be  

found in natural dynamic neighbourhood.

In relation to inner conflict and processes of personal change that I

encounter in the process of smoking cessation as I attempt to apply the

notion of self as neighbourhood and working with the creative potential of

natural energy flow.

ii) the receptive-reflective/protective-responsive qualities of 'self  

as neighbourhood', in which the 'locality of individual identity' as a  

dynamic inclusion of non-local space everywhere, is vital to  

understanding and working with the creative potential of natural  

energy flow.

In response to Shaun 'How can we work together to......?' in a way that  

includes the insights in Alan's language of inclusionality.

It may be that we already are 'working together' because what Alan's

thinking and deep experiential observation enables is for us to 'see' a

deeper understanding of nature and human behaviour together with the

underlying relational dynamics. I think these underlying relational dynamics

once observed and consciously worked with effect change through influence.

It may be that conscious changes and intent can be tracked, documented,

recorded and adjusted through 'Living educational theory' as we discuss

ongoing work/life/experience. I think a form of working together already

exists and has existed for many years, we may not have put this working

relationship formerly together as a set of aims and objectives but more as a

mutual enquiry of 'influence' and ongoing 'exploration' I think we have been

working together in a different sense of 'together' where ideas are shared,

challenged, inspired, sustained and developed. I find it very hard sometimes

with the work I do having 'Outcomes' based focus where project planning aims

and objectives become prescriptive drivers. That is not to say that we can

not put together a more formal proposal and I will respond to your later

e-mail and the potential of Margaret Farrens initiative.

Alans ideas of receptive and responsive concepts combined with permeable,

semi permeable protective and reflective boundaries helps me to consider

'working together' in a different way considering the concept of self as

neighbourhood and our influences.

Love Andy

Subject: Last night's scr educational conversation

I'm still buzzing from the conversation last night in the SCR and the  

conversation over piazzas in the bar. As we focused on our languages  

of inclusionality I felt hopeful that we might share Alan's language  

of inclusionality where he described:

i) the 'seeing through' and 'feeling beyond' the 'logic of conflict'  

that makes an enemy of other by opposing 'it' (cf. Hamlet), to a  

joyful appreciation of the source of evolutionary creativity to be  

found in natural dynamic neighbourhood.

ii) the receptive-reflective/protective-responsive qualities of 'self  

as neighbourhood', in which the 'locality of individual identity' as a  

dynamic inclusion of non-local space everywhere, is vital to  

understanding and working with the creative potential of natural  

energy flow.

As our work develops and we share our proposals I'm thinking that we  

might contribute to forming and answer the question that Shaun focused  

on over Piazza - 'How can we work together to......?' in a way that  

includes the insights in Alan's language of inclusionaity.

Love Jack.
