There is a fundamental problem with the way most of us approach problems, and opportunities. It involves trying to add-on new knowledge to what we now know and believe - Rather than letting go of what we now know and believe to make room in our psyche for the entry of what is Truly New.

The current process of life and work (Stage E and Stage F human psyche stage patterns) is based upon linear system science and relativistic-collective science. Its linear system pattern of learning is conscious, rational and step-by-step sequential. Its natural way to try to solve problems is to "add-on" to its current knowledge in a stepwise logical, continuous way. The means to try to implement solutions in human affairs is by collectivist coercion. Such process in human affairs does not perceive the need for discontinuous transition, a leap away from what now exists.

In the current patttern of life and work there is a strong desire to find a rational sequential path from where we are now to where we want to be to solve our current problems. The world today is deluged with such "fix-up" schemes. Some of them are quite ingenious, but in the current linear pattern, not in the emerging new non-linear Living System pattern that is required for success.

Another of my posts entitled What Is happening Now in the world and Can Happen in Your Life discusses the world transformation now accelerating that requires us to turn away from linear and relativistic-collectivist "add-on fix-up" schemes in the current pattern and to leap to the emerging non-linear Living System pattern if we are to be successful in life and work. There are no effective linear step-by-step or coercive collectivist paths to solutions anymore.

Letting go of what we now know and believe and have found to be successful "in-the-past" is a scary process. Our purpose is to enable you to demonstrate to yourself that it is absolutely necessary and is doable given One Condition - That you transform your life and work from the still currently dominant, but declining, linear and collectivist system patterns by leaping into the emerging Living System pattern.

The biggest curse we now face is being addicted to the conventional pattern of learning by add-on knowledge to what we now know and believe. What is now now happening demands we abandon current knowledge that would prevent the discontinuous transformation of ourselves first as humans and then as professionals. That is what the Isis Group Network and its Core Knowledge areas are all about.
