Genpo Roshi and Bill Harris in dialogue

"The Chosen Ones" - Diane Hamilton in Tel Aviv, Israel

"we did a powerful "bigmind" with the "voice of the chosen people"- a cultural pathology for Jewish people at times - and we moved this voice from ego, to tribe, to ethno, to world, to planetary and then kosmic-centered - that was AMAZING! I really experienced how it is to feel like the chosen planet".

My friend Gilad, an integral thinker in Israel, sent me this lovely message today after spending a few days on retreat with Diane Musho Hamilton in Tel Aviv (put on by Integral Aikido). I thought the application of voice dialogue to a such a specific cultural perspective was an interesting turn in the evolving intersection between the Big Mind Process and Ken's developmental schema.

This isn't the first time I've seen the Big Mind process used in this way. When I was in Boulder last year, Suzanne Cook-Greuter led a few sessions where voice dialogue was used to speak from a 1st person perspective of each of her developmental levels.

I wonder whether Diane could tackle some of the tough Australian cultural pathologies when we bring her out September: mortgage interest rates, petrol prices and late trains? "Can I speak to the Kosmoscentric voice of the 8:20 all stations to Lidcombe via Bankstown running late by 15 minutes" ;-P
