Exploring the profound implications of natural inclusion
NATURAL DIVERSITY
Intrinsic and naturally fluid variety arising from receptive and responsive relationships as a continuing creative exploration of ever-changing possibilities without the intervention of central or external administrative agency.
Understanding self and other
Understanding how people interrelate with one another is necessary for interpretation and engagement. Natural inclusional logic views self as ensembled, meaning self is inclusive of others and other is inclusive of self.
Acknowledging our distinctions
Recognizing distinct qualities in one another establishes an understanding of how we are alike and different. Respecting these similarities and distinctions opens doors to endless possibilities of living sustainably in a communion of diversity.
NATURAL INCLUSION
Process through which all material form comes into being and diversifies in receptive-responsive relationships. It’s to embrace all organisms irrespective of their unique characteristics.
Appreciating our distinctions
Empathizing and viewing life from other perspectives allows us to understand and appreciate our distinctions. It’s being open and respectful of the similarities and differences within all organisms.
Sense of community
By acknowledging a coherent group identity without diminishing individuality, a true sense of community emerges through the receptive responsive relationships all organisms share.
EVOLUTIONARY SUSTAINABILITY
Evolutionary and ecological sustainability, from cells of the human body to trees in the forest, depends upon mutual attunement with the diversity and changeability of all within their neighborhood. Sustainability is the ability to continue living in current and changeable form. It’s meeting the needs of present occurrences without compromising future occurrences. Thriving in evolutionary terms is about sustaining life as a flow of energy, not merely its preservation.
Flourishing of the Wellest
Seeking and maintaining sustainable, co-creative evolutionary relationships in varied heterogenous communities.
Natural energy flow
Energy is the actual currency of nature. The way energy flows within and throughout natural boundaries mobilizes and shapes the world at all scales of organization. It is a mobile presence. Real natural community life accepts variety as an expression of diversified energy flow.
Together, we will create
an inclusive neighborhood
Now we humans all around the planet are interconnected via our telecommunications, computers and high-speed road, rail and air links, what costs and benefits do you perceive for the quality of our lives as individuals and groups?
Nature
All actual occurrence both tangible and intangible.
Organization
Variably coherent dynamic grouping.
Kindness
Compassionate awareness of the vulnerability and needs of all living organisms.
Network
Fluid system of dynamic channels enabling enhanced communication and redistribution of energy.
Participation
Involvement with others in a process.
Neighborhood
The inclusion of dynamic individual and group identities present everywhere.
Why do we need diversity and inclusion for sustainability?
The ecological and evolutionary sustainability of natural life forms, from the cells and the tissues in human bodies to the trees in forests, depends upon current and recurrent attunement with its natural environment. Sustainability does not depend on a one-sided adaptation to an environment ‘out there’. Recognizing that diversity allows us to understand self and other brings to light self and group identities that foster communal relationships that unveil the already existing Natural Inclusion that life flourishes in.
Individual differences are often perceived by us human beings as a source of conflict and disparity between life forms, including ourselves. Contrarily, individual differences are an expression of natural creativity and complementary relationship. We need diversity to drive creativity and innovation. We need inclusion to empower and involve.
Natural Inclusion brings hope to a more creative, sustainable, and loving future for humanity and companion life forms.
