WE ARE THE MANY


via @Tomatlee
Ye come here, gather 'round the stage
The time has come for us to voice our rage
Against the ones who've trapped us in a cage
To steal from us the value of our wage

From underneath the vestiture of law
The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw
At liberty, the bureaucrats guffaw
And until they are purged, we won't withdraw

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
'Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

Our nation was built upon the right
Of every person to improve their plight
But laws of this Republic they rewrite
And now a few own everything in sight

They own it free of liability
They own, but they are not like you and me
Their influence dictates legality
And until they are stopped we are not free

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

You enforce your monopolies with guns
While sacrificing our daughters and sons
But certain things belong to everyone
Your thievery has left the people none

So take heed of our notice to redress
We have little to lose, we must confess
Your empty words do leave us unimpressed
A growing number join us in protest

We occupy the streets
We occupy the courts
We occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

You can't divide us into sides
And from our gaze, you cannot hide
Denial serves to amplify
And our allegiance you can't buy

Our government is not for sale
The banks do not deserve a bail
We will not reward those who fail
We will not move till we prevail

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

We are the many
You are the few

THE TIDE IS TURNING


Roger Waters - The Tide Is Turning (Re: Occupy)
Big Thank You goes to Stonehartfloydfan for making this video.

I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But, oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning

Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest
Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The East
Or the West
This is the crap our children are learning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

Now the satellite's confused
'Cause on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart
Warmed to the sight of a billion candles burning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Billy

I'm not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

MOTHERS AND OTHERS: Sarah Blaffer Hrdy


I first knew about her work through Cacilda Jethá´s and Chris Ryan´s "Sex at dawn".


Sarah Blaffer Hrdy (author of "Mothers and others") presents in this video a new vision of human evolution and to argue that our capacity to understand, engage and empathise with each other stems from our status as a cooperatively parenting species.

WHAT ABOUT ON-LINE OPEN SPACE?

Annette  Zera asks on the OSLIST... "I've been asked if it is possible to run an *online *Open Space eventfor 500 people. I haven't a clue.  Can anyone help? I pick some pieces from the answers here.

Sure, we all prefer to open space in an atmosphere like the one in this photo :-)!... but sometimes an online OST meeting might be required too!




Currently in one single OpenSpace-Online conference 10-125 participants can work completely selforganized in a solution-oriented and high data-protected 4hour step-by-step open space workshop process. If a larger group wants to invite more than 125 participants, we can easily arrange a set of X simultaneous OpenSpace-Online conferences for hundrets or thousands of people - e.g. with exact the same main-theme/-question. In all cases our system produces an extensive just-in-time conference documentation (digital) at the end of the conference for immediate selforganized further work. If you wish to have more information, just write me separately (gabriela.ender[@]OpenSpace-
Online.com).

"OpenSpace-Online briefly": between 1999 and 2002 we developed the OpenSpace-Online Real-Time Methodoloy (and are enhancing the IT technology permanently - so far without investors). It has been used in more than 70 countries till today. The OpenSpace-Online process supports very much selforganization, because my vision was at that time (and still is), to enable open space empowerment around the globe without the must of having Open Space facilitators or consultants in the room. Our real-time online methodology includes a multi-dimensional virtual open space facilitation. Preparation and follow-up need the same quality as we know from well done OST processes. The realization of my vision and this technology was possible based on the deep trust in selforganization - in particular in the power of people and passion. In this way the OpenSpace-Online Real-Time Methodology works since 9 years. Harrison was my inspiration for that and is my role modell for true selforganization.

P.S. Thank you dear Holger, for mention OpenSpace-Online.

Best regards to London!

Gabriela Ender

Lisa Heft adds on....

For something specifically Open Space - OpenSpace-Online has a virtual facilitator (a lovely character that welcomes and invites you, explains the principles and law), beautiful simple graphics that give the body-sense of sitting in a circle together, a virtual wall upon which to post topics, the ability to bumblebee from group to group, butterfly over to a 'cafe' and also have side butterfly conversations, and the output of a full Book of Proceedings printed out at your own desk. And you don't have to know anything technologically to do it - there is great support during the real-time of the online conference but most of it is completely intuitive to the participants.

Gabriela is an Open Space facilitator and she field-tested her design over several years with many of us Open Space folks.  Though text-based - as we know, there is nothing exactly like a group being together in person - it is amazingly close to the in-person feeling, because of its thoughtful design, visuals and options for any participant to self-organize into wherever they want to go, to write ('speak') or simply to wander amongst the conversations and witness.

I suggest you check it out.

What is Open Space? Tova Averbuch´s story: Opening Space to Collective Wisdom


I met Tova in Wosonos Berlin 2010. She shared some days ago on the OSLIST the way she knew about OST and her views. What a brilliant explanation of Open Space!. Here some lines from the TED page and some words on it by other people on the list

In her TEDxJaffa talk, Tova Averbuch explores the at-times contentious relationship between self and whole and proposes a form for resolution: Open Space

Tova has been an Organization Development consultant for 30 years, teaching in the graduate program of Tel Aviv University's business school. She is a facilitator and host of generative group meetings, applying methodologies and perspectives that enable and promote bottom up, cross boundaries and self-organizing processes, to create conditions for the emergence of collective new wisdom and new action in business and in socio-political life in Israel. Born in Poland, Tova emigrated to Israel in 1957 and is committed to promoting and exploring creative dialogue between polarized groups in the Israeli society and between 'center' and 'edge' in human systems.


"...At the risk of "gilding the lily" you speak so beautifully of a living entity - being and becoming,  autonomous and connected, the importance of diversity, wisdom that comes from that diversity, the simultaneous learning and self-organization, a living entity not an economic machine as companies so often are. Our work at Autognomics Institute has been working for over 50 years in the study of  the nature of living entities - you have spoken so eloquently on Open Space and on these foundational principles that show up throughout life - living organisms and the living cosmos in which we live.  Thanks so much for this.  And thanks for this Open Space list of fantastic conversations. You all inspire me to the bones. "

Skye Hirst, PhD (www.autognomics.org)
..................................................................................................................................................................
The heart of your talk for me was in these words at about 16:30 in:
       “we've achieved a lot; we are in the growing business of making social living systems and not mechanical system. In mechanical system, we must start with clear goals and clear vision and clear objectives and we proceed to get them. In a living system we are preoccupied with being and belonging before we set objectives. A living system will try to root itself, preferably in nourishing environment, and to take time to make sure it's alive before it figures out its destination, and before the horizon is clear.”

This clarifies something I have never been able to put into words and metaphors before. It carries the thought further, and tells us what OS and all true conversation and meeting (see the work of Martin Buber) is about: birthing a living system.

This is a step off into wide open space...and we find solid ground beneath our foot. Anybody want to take this another step?

Tova, do you have similar writings available somewhere?
                               :- Doug.
 .................................................................................................................................................................
Dear Tova This is beautiful. Self organization by living systems
A write-up of the description of open space given by Tova at the TEDx talk:
We are trying to create an infrastructure for human interaction to take place, mainly face to face but also could be virtual, to create organizations that are living systems, not mechanical systems.

Now how do we work in open space? What kind of principles or ways of conduct do we use, that make it possible to come as fully me and yet in the same time to be totally open to others, to all sorts of others, to create a collective we.

From all the methodologies that I know that are opening space I could draw up seven principles or ways of conduct. They are weary simple.

1. You are invited, you don't have to come, but you are invited.
2. You are included, and what makes you included is that you wish to come.
3. You are the right people, no shame, no blame, you are perfect the way you are.
4. It is all done by self organization, no one is telling you what to do, you are making it happen, creating the agenda, etc.
5. Transparency, we do it all in transparency so we can build on the wisdom, of one and another, of layer by layer.
6. We encourage and invite simultaneity and multi version, it dose not have to be in sequential or linear logic, it happens all at the same time, it is great!
7. You are free at all times to be mobile, and let your legs carry you to where your heart and mind wants to be
If we are getting or putting people together and we do not insist that they must agree, then they don't have to fight and compromise. And if we take people and we allow them to move freely, that means that people can self regulate and if they had enough and they feel that the emotion is arising and they can not control it, they can go somewhere else, they can self regulate themselves and they feel no constrain. And in this way of work where individuals can be fully themselves,
they become, as I can see, fully alive, and create collectives that are living systems
and not mechanical or machine like systems.
