- 00:03Introduction by Michael Dowd01:35Title: "Opening to the World," 59 minutes, with 3 previews03:51Terry Patten (TP) presents the current context: fear of collapse04:30Meg Wheatley (MW) is a well known teacher (and author) of leadership. Her story of teaching in South Africa, where she affirmed that emphases on community in traditional cultures are scientifically validated as best practices for leaders. "Westerners got it wrong; your ancestors did not."07:58Her most recent book, "Who Do We Choose To Be," urges: "We need to wake up, see past our filters . and realize we have choice."08:56TP: construes that Meg views this unravelling as inevitable. "I think that's a hard message for people to take in."10:04MW: "Everything I am saying now is not my personal perspective. It's history; it's bringing history forward to understand where we are."13:25MW credits Joseph Tainter's book, "The Collapse of Complex Societies" and John Bagot Glubb's "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival." Glubb charts the rise and fall of civilizations through six stages: pioneers, conquest, commerce, affluence, intellect, and decadence. Details on the decadence stage, which we are in now. [Dowd audio-narrated Glubb's short book here: ]18:29TP reflects on the "age of exuberance" in material consumption, but also wide access to knowledge and wisdom traditions, arts and sciences. He poses the Q: "Couldn't this create a critical mass . that could be the seeds of something else?"19:48MW: "We are not the height of evolution." While half the world's population must focus on basic survival, the few (as with Terry's students) who are actively developing consciousness, rather than striving for "material gain and entertainment . in this utterly seductive consumer global culture . are not an enormous number." (She references her own learnings from "teachers, mystics, enlightened ones" during this response.) In contrast, "those of us with material advantage . physical comforts beyond anyone's expectation . are incredibly depressed, massive amounts of addiction. I do not for a moment believe that we are at an evolutionary cusp." References ancient cultures in India and elsewhere that "were much more awake [than ours], and yet those cultures too imploded."24:30MW: "I want us to look truthfully at history and not get seduced by some super special role we think we're playing. To say that the universe is working through us I find the height of arrogance." If conscious evolutionary shift were ever to happen, "it would have happened in ancient Tibet when there were hundreds of thousands of enlightened ones, or it would have happened in India with the huge proportion of yogis and mystics."26:15MW: "As individuals, we can change . so that we can serve the humans that are facing increased suffering."27:30TP: "It would seem that your emotion stems from care . and you see this grandiosity as a delusion that prevents people from being present to what's real in a way that can contribute." MW: affirms, thanks, and elaborates on the "basic work in serving others that needs to be done from the compassionate heart-mind."29:25TP Invites MW to describe her "Warriors for the Human Spirit" project30:32MW: "In the past I worked on innovation . on supporting activists working toward a positive future. In 2011 I realized that we could not change the larger systems. The work of value now for leaders is to become defenders of people, of what is being destroyed — which I call the human spirit." This is within the tradition of "the Shambhala Warrior prophecy that Joanna Macy spent her whole life promoting." Six years ago MW began creating "the ways that we could train in warriorship" — very different skills for this mode of leadership than what she had taught before34:58MW: Needed skills: "stable mind" and the ability through meditation to "respond rather than react." Also, "direct perception." Highest level is giving up one's "old identity" and taking on the role of warrior, dedicated to service39:47MW: "The pandemic took us on a rocketship ride; the numbers of people who are now fearful and suffering is an exponential leap."44:06TW and MW converse on the downside of hopes and expectations50:20TP on his conversation with Peter Russell: "No blame for end times."53:55MW: "I have learned not to be afraid of dark emotions, to trust that they are momentary." Quotes Chogyam Trungpa, warrior's vow: "I cannot change the way the world is, but by opening to the world as it is, I may discover that gentleness, decency, and bravery are available not only to me but to all human beings." The path forward is "opening to the world" — the world as it is "as broad as you can bear."
