Monday morning: Opening of the Moving the Edge gathering

Actually we started our gathering in silence, something like ten minutes. Looking from a hindsight, I think this was very powerful!

We shared our 'arriving stories', what brought us to sit here in this circle? How did we arrive here physically?

Then a break.

Then a deeper inquiry: 

Our gathering in Denmark is about: 

An adventurous inquiry

into the role of collective intelligence

in moving the edge of evolution.

The question that we contemplated and replied to was:

What is the role of collective intelligence in moving the edge of my evolution?

Here's the collection of our answers that we shared in the circle:

The role of our collective intelligence in my "moving the edge of evolution" is:
- Giving me nineteen people's experiences and thoughts/feelings during the four days – and after.
- Weaving threads of relation to nineteen people and their webs.
- Helping giving me direction both in business and in private.
- Supporting my little contribution of moving the edge for humanity.
- Expanding my "living on the edge" experience and insight dramatically, compared to before.
- Showing me to make contributions to mean something to the other team members.
- Seed and fertilize my interest and attraction to the area of CI and "moving the edge".
……………………………………
The role of collective intelligence in moving the edge of my personal evolution is to help my body and heart to realize in a profound way that fear is nothing to be afraid of.
……………………………………
My revolution is:
Overthrowing the government of the mind, as collective intelligence interrupts the mind when it runs away with itself.
What is the role of collective intelligence in moving my edge? – Expanding the power of being by inhibiting the power of mind thereby expanding the power of the mind that is constantly informed by being – to interrupt and make compassionate my dialectical categories.
……………………………………
When I am with you all, I am smarter.
When I am with you all, I see my fears more easily.
You are the listening that generates the best of me coming forward.
Being in this circle with you is a doorway to my becoming.
I love you.
I love the possibilities because of you all.

Collective intelligence
is a means

- a conscious way for me/us
to connect with what naturally
wants to happen through me/us.
……………………………………
Giving up the resistance to and the conviction that I need to do it on my own.
Feels like I've reached my edge.
In order to create I need to co-create.
Letting go of resistance always creates a space.
Welcoming others in my space (the space of my awareness).
Allowing myself to be changed.
Feels like surrendering.
Need to dissolve the idea of isolation.
……………………………………
CI is the ultimate loss of my controle and ownership of the process.
It calls me to give, let go of anything but interest.
……………………………………
Giving up the story I tell myself about me (and others).
Letting go of my personal story/my identity.
Stop the isolation – trust the now.
……………………………………
The edge of my evolution is deepening and cultivating my understanding that everything and everyone is expressions of the same life, to understand that I'm not separate from you
……………………………………
To move into the unknown
To move beyond the personal
To be fully present, here, now
……………………………………
Collective intelligence is helping us realizing that all is in one, and one is in all – with the purpose of letting heart and spirit being the master, and ego being the servant.
……………………………………
What are the collective and social practices to engage collective intelligence in service of evolution of a conscious civilization that can now be named and called into being?
……………………………………
What is the role of collective intelligence in moving the edge of my personal evolution?
SHARING
- Challenging or deepening my ideas or concepts of what reality is. For example personality based limitations like "I am stupid" or " The world is Evil" can be altered. Visions can expand in togetherness: 1+1=3.
- Support "I like what I hear you say and want to add this".
- Clarity "When I hear you, this is what I see".
- Inspiration "Now, I have never heard anything like it and I love it!"
- Friendship, Destroying the illusion that I am the only seeker in the world, the illusion of loneliness.
- Networking, Expanding my field of vision, more opportunities for jobs, play, friendship, creativity, love, and growth.
……………………………………
Sharing my inner beauty.
Daring to be wrong in public.
Standing up for my truth.
Living in trust and laugh at/with my doubts together with friends.
FUN: It's more fun sharing the journey with friends.
RISK: Being in the moment, step by step, not knowing.
TRUST: Deep listening, taking time to listen.
……………………………………
To make me aware of when my ego is leading. To interrupt me in order for me to redefine myself.
To support me/any individual to speak from the heart, openly and without fear. To inspire me with a sense of trust to express myself fully.
To create and promote a continuously developing CI-network where I can easily be a part.
To create channels of communication with the "rest" of the world and reach out to others.

I hope someone will find the time and the effort to search for and describe the common themes, the patterns that are woven into this...
