Well many many times I have sat and wondered what is my passion. I still do not have a clear picture but at least now I have an idea.

Passion, I have.

Career — in Textiles i lost to China and squandered the rest on several rounds of employment — down sized unemployment; excercises in disolutionment.

Purpose, — I have lost with the death of my wife and 14 year old daughter twenty years ago. I refuse to blow with the wind or to live in a relationship of convenience. I do seek to love and to be loved. But I still remain without purpose. Just existing. That may be fine for some, but life without a purpose is distress for me.

Some change involves challenging or at least being aware and unhappy about organised power structures that reinforce inequality along class and racial lines. (Forget poststructuralism!) What if you live in a small village where standard water consumption/usage can cause disease, what if you vote, have ink on your finger and may be killed, what if you live somewhere where education is an alternative to earning money for food? Project this — as an educated “Westerner” from a humble background I find I am able to relate to such suffering as my personal experience is that actual effort does not equal a fair outcome. So how would a poor parent in a food/education dilema go about changing their mental models? Is the mental model concept anything more than a bourgeois concept to help the me-generation cope in an age of superabundance?

This was an excellent presentation that reveals the significance and affects of paradigmatic thinking — the constraints of which affect a range upon what we perceive as ‘possible’ and are thus willing to act upon. To a very high degree, the quality of one’s life experience is a reflection of the quality of one’s thoughts and of the embraced paradigm within which they occur.

A thorough understanding of these concepts holds potential to render one’s ‘desired results’ to become virtually inevitable through their practical application.

Well done … and thank you. Viewing was time well-spent.

Dear Dr. SriKumar Rao,

THANK YOU!!!!! for an incredible lecture. Having experienced profound burnout at midlife, from as you so aptly named frantically doing, I reached a point where I could no longer roll up my sleeves try again– thinking this time would be different if I just persisted. I literally could no longer con myself. To shift and get a clear answer as to What do you want (career wise) — coming from frantically doing, how do you begin?

PS — just a suggestion, LEAVING NORMAL, is a movie you may want to see, as it encapsulates so much of what you spoke about.

Thanks again,
FWE

Thanks Brian, for introducing me to a bright new influence, it is the first time I have heard of Srikumar, I gaied a great deal of clarity from his presentation, and also a lot of timely confirmation regarding my own self initiated inner research and inspired developement, its great to discover such perfect reflections active in the most unexpected places

Number one thing is, I have an intense inner vision and drive which is both artistic and tending to entrepreneurial, though this second aspect is less developed, while also having a deep unerring spiritual sensitivy and powerful guidance, the challenge I have is teaming with the appropriate people to make the best of this gift, I see a whole new way of oragnising and growing organisations that has an almost totally different focus to our contemporary model, I have very little business background, just this absolute natural affinity with the underlying principles, and what can be brought into the business arena to transform things for the better…

That is the closest way I can define the challenge/opportunity it right now, thanks for the point of new exploration!

Best wishes
Sean

Recently I have been complaining about just everything, money, lack of success. work. I do’nt thing I love my work but due to recession I have to stay and it is hard to find another work. I have realised that it is not me anymore but I turn to do thing because I have kids to support and being a single mother. I just need a financial breakthough. I tried to start a small business it is nt picking us as people buy on credit and dont pay. That conbination just brings a lot of fatigue on me.

I need to move, please advise
