The New Economy seen from an Spiral Dynamics Integral perspective
ECONOMIC PEACE through resilient design with Said E. Dawlabani
streamed July 24, 2015
TIME STAMPS
11:04 Is our monetary system, based on debt and fiat currency, holding our civilizations back from allowing second-tier thinking to dominate?
14:36 what are some of the most promising, encouraging trends in the current development of second-tier (yellow) integrative consciousness on the part of organizations?
18:58 There are two sayings relevant to this topic: 1: If you want peace, work for justice. 2: Ya’ gotta wanna. I’ve posted this incendiary piece that, curiously enough, is relevant to this topic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvlvH…
27:34 Could you comment on “resilience” in relation to the future of the internet? Especially in relation to the development of “second tier” businesses, such as google.
38:16 – I’d asked Said yesterday if he’d discuss his perspective involving what “resilience might look like in respect to the practical design of BLUE institutions
44:02 So many jobs are being automated these days. It seems like an exponential curve of accelerating trends where the new digitally empowered technologies are replacing human labour. In that light, how can any future currency be based on human resources? And how to distribute wealth so that even the unemployed can afford to purchase the products of automated factories?
46:25 Some observers have noted that, when it comes to change, business is typically among the first to respond, followed by other institutions, with academia following and government last. Where do you see economic systems falling in this cascade?
51:16 Have you read Charles Eisenstein’s Sacred Economics? What do you think about moving into a gifting economy in the far future?
56:23 What’s the book title again?
59:17 What are techniques or practices you would encourage people to have in order to go up the spiral in spiral dynamics?
The Wisdom Factory has hosted a conversation with +Said E. Dawlabani entitled *A New Economy For Peace* , See the video posted here nearby.

12:20 An explanation of the value systems that clarify so much of the trouble; Nafiz begins.
14:00 “Palestinians feel no security from the Palestinian Authority.” No stability. Radicals do not acknowledge credibility of neither the Palestinian Authority, nor Hamas, nor Fatah.
26:10 Said summarizes some of Nafiz’s points
27:30 Neri speaks from Israel, but not as an Israeli “spokesman”.
28:50 “The bloody dance of the two value systems.”
29:30 Some viewer comments and Neri replies
32:15 Mark asks for clarification and Elza responds, then Nafiz and back to Said
39:15 A two state solution? Said explains the case and Neri responds and generally agrees.
44:10 Neri predicts the defeat of Daesh (ISIS) and emergence of less grandiose Palestinians.
48:05 Elza asks Nafiz how Palestinians can build institutions in their own state.
50:55 Listener Jon Freeman asks if the ISIS ideology is affecting Palestinians. No!
52:42 A glitch by YouTube ends the show prematurely in mid question by a listener.
The Wisdom Factory wants to be a forum to connect people in conversation about topics which are important in the present moment. +Said E. Dawlabani and +Elza Maalouf have already been our guests in the past “(A Route for Peace in the Middle East”, “An Economy for Peace” and “Crisis and Possibilities”). Both are working actively to create peaceful solutions in the Middle East using Spiral Dynamics Integral as a Foundation for their approach.
Scott says: I make art in conventional ways such as on canvas, and also with computer devices. The art object has always throughout history been an evolutionary force in the individual as well as the collective.
About Lawrence Gold
Lawrence Gold began to explore the interrelation of spiritual practice and personal development around 1968, at age 16, with himself as the laboratory. He has explored many different approaches to different aspects of the one-being, what we may call “self” or “body”, the inner and outer of our existence that constitute “soma”, the incarnated self.
Here his “lineage flowchart”
His investigations led to the development of very powerful and very accessible “consciousness integration procedures” called, The TetraSeed Modulations, for getting unstuck from habitual conditioning and for awakening to the “ground” of being that underlies and is the substance of ordinary existence. He teaches those procedures in-person, one-on-one, and on-line, to groups. You can follow one of his sessions and practice along here:
He maintains a private practice of clinical somatic education (to end chronic pain conditions) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and on-line, worldwide.

Reinventing Capitalism: How we broke money and how we fix it – with Jon Freeman streamed live December 4th, 2015
TIME STAMPS
01:50 Jon’s last two books, The Science of Possibility and Reinventing Capitalism, Are quite different. Heidi asks how links two books with such different subject matter. Jon sees three big problems that need attention: Science, Relationships(nothing published yet) and Money
04:18 Reinvent or abolish? Jon would rather actually try free market capitalism – which hasn’t actually been tried yet. He explains.
10:10 When is ”funny money” OK and when not: an exercise in imagining there was no money.
15:15 Is anyone really “to blame” for our misunderstanding of money? Fear is to blame!
19:50 We’ve created a system that represents our way of thinking.
21:05 – 26:08 Time out to respond to watchers comments
26:12 Governments could not tell us the truth about money and get re-elected! We need a whole new story!
27:53 – 30:00 The 36 principles for building that new story.
30:00 How long should this take? What are cryptocurrencies and will they help? +’s and -’s
38:10 – 41:28 Crowdfunding and comments
41:30 What is work? Work/life balance? Alternative payment systems.
43:55 The list of 36 things we need to change or do; some choicefulness and possibilities
46:14 – 48:20 Some comments from watchers and some boundary breaking new enterprises.
48:21 – 52:26 Shortcomings of current social security systems
52:26 – How we can improve the system, how to find the book,
what we’re up to.
*Reinventing Capitalism: How we broke money and how we fix it, from inside and out* by Jon Freeman
Is money real? And if not, what is it? How have we thought about money – individually and collectively? What has that created in our lives and our economies? How did our thinking turn into the systems that we live with and the outcomes that we are now so unhappy with? Can we change it, and if so how?
There is a spiral thread of intelligence that runs through what Jon Freeman is saying.There are compatible viewpoints with those of +Said E. Dawlabani (Guest in previous Wisdom Factory shows) in his book *Memenomics* – but they are quite different in content and approach. *People will not have heard this before!*

7:15 – She’ll let Israelis talk about their side of the issues involved.
7:00 – “You begin to create change where there is the most common need.”
8:25 – The Five Deep Strategy and why peace initiatives fail miserably
9:45 – Details of differences in development of Israel and its neighbors
10:47 – Building capacities
12: 30 – Palestine is connected to the virtual world just as Israel is.
13:50 – Elza demonstrates the asymmetry of Israel and Palestine.
14:49 – Palestinians do not trust Abbas. They see him as weak.
15:28 – And the Israelis don’t trust Netanyahu!
16:10 – “Indigenous Intelligence Experts” explained
17:27 – From a listener (Scott Marshall): “Would you say that capacity building is more of your focus than conflict resolution?”
18:00 – Necessity for “Blue” development in Palestine and other Middle Eastern countries explained
19:07 – Real needs of Palestinians and an end to “victimism”
21:10 – The rise of ISIS and various responses in different areas, i.e. Tunisia.
23: 46 – Focus on Egypt: Why is the media not looking at Egypt’s development plans?
24:34 – A different case in Syria where a vacuum in power ISIS arises
26:14 – 26:43 “What we do is…create the pond where fish can come.”
27:16 – 30:30 The book!…and how it has fit into Elza’s life march from her Lebanese Christian background
30:30 – Lebanon today
32:58 – Iran is letting Arabs do “their work for them.” Not basically between Sunni and Shia.”
35:20 – The shades of the different “horizontal” political factions. flamethrowers, etc. and the “inner” and the “intra” conflicts on each side

48:40 – 51:31 Thank you’s, “iAwake” and “wisdomgold” and stay tuned for Said Dawlabani next week!
51:34 – Final words: Peace in our hearts
“Elza brings light where there has only been heat”
How can we not despair of the seemingly unending rounds of hostility and warfare among all the various factions and interests in that big chunk of the world stretching from the west in North Africa toward the Indian subcontinent, from the steppes of central Asia south to the Indian Ocean?
Fortunately there is a degree of simplicity beyond all the complexity and Elza Maalouf has detailed that path in her recent critically acclaimed book *Emerge!: The Rise of Functional Democracy and the Future of the Middle East*. As a student of *Don Beck’s Spiral Dynamics*, and a native of Lebanon, she brings the real root problems of the area into focus using the SD tools to strip away the rhetoric and “blinders” of all parties toward a clear and, though difficult, a “doable” route of Functional Democracy which fits governance to the unique needs and aspirations of people just “where they are” geographically and developmentally.
ABOUT ELZA MALOOF:
Elza Maalouf is an author, theorist and consultant. She is credited with introducing Spiral Dynamics Integral, and the entire Integral framework to the Middle East. A long term member of the Evolutionary Leaders, she serves alongside global thinkers like Deepak Chopra, Jean Houston and Barbara Marx Hubbard.

Her recent book, Emerge!, which serves as a map for the future of the Middle East has garnered great reviews from Politico, Forward Reviews magazine, and the sustainable development site IPCC. It’s a 2015 finalist for the book of the year award by INDIEFAB and the Eric Hoffer Organization, both recognize independent authors for excellence in publishing. Her work with cultures and organizations has garnered the admiration of business and political leaders alike. She’s currently working on the Arab Memome Project (AMP), which maps the memetics of the Middle East that will eventually lead to the peaceful emergence of the region.

audio blogs offer original and cogent perspectives on a wide range of topics usually of current interest. Often digging deeply beneath surface appearances, a recurring theme that he investigates is how to understand American culture and politics, addressing both Americans and others, with a special nod to our European brothers and sisters with whom we share so much in terms of historical development and values.

In the Western countries we have created an amazing culture during the last 2000 years, and we have evolved through the ideas of the Renaissance age into modernism already centuries ago and became the leading culture in the world who is eager to adopt our achievements, often without having undergone the same levels of development and therefore without truly grown into modernism, let alone post modernism which is the leading edge in the Western world in this period. We have created a lot of progress and at the same time somehow lost control over it, similar to the story of the “Sorcerer Apprentice” by Goethe written in 1779 with a clear intuition of what has become evidence in our times.
We are living in a constant drive to speed up, more and more goods to consume and to throw away, we exploit our planet and teach others how to do it, too, without second thought. Science shows clearly that we are overconsuming our planet, that we just cannot go on in the same way we did so far – but we don’t seem to really understand that on a collective level, but we pretend that everything magically will work out, somehow. This is actually not the case. M.D.)

streamed November 27th, 2015
2:57 Said explains the basics of Spiral Dynamics in 6½ minutes flat! Bravo!
7:58 Heidi asks why we need not fear. Elza points out some immediate causes in drought and the city of Daraa
10:50 Why Syria is different with little chance to be terrorists, Ba’athism and secularism and nationalism
12:34 A culture without nationalism led to dictatorship: a necessary evil to keep feudalistic system under control and exclude radical imams.
15:38 Said faults the United Nations for an unrealistic idea of nationhood.
16:18 Natural progression of national development, role of “Kurdistans” and what Western powers need to stop doing.
18:04 Tribal cultures reach back for values, do not aspire forward
18:44 Elza explains the Arab Menome Project and trying to create institutions.
19:38 Heidi asks: Who is what and how did that happen? Elza responds, “We made a mistake killing Saddam. What the West needs to do with these feudalistic dictators
22:03 A watcher’s raises questions about progress and Said responds.
25:43 Back to the refugee question: the failures of Assad
27:40 Should the West take a “hands-off” policy? Partly, but Europe needs to look at itself. Conditions in parts of Paris that give rise to native born French terrorists
31:20 Who are the refugees? Europe needs to qualify them for acceptance.
33:30 Patriotism!
34:30 Do refugees want to stay in Europe?
36:00 Where is integralism in Europe on these issues? French examples and some closer to home (where we live). How to keep populations in line with their leaders in Europe.
42:00 Said: Europe seemed to stop evolving after WWII. He explains the differences between a 6th level (Green) system and a 7th level (Yellow) system.
43:43 A watcher asks how to assimilate people who don’t want to assimilate.
45:05 Europe allows radical imams in that Middle Eastern governments do not allow!
47:30 A question from Germany: Are the refugees fleeing ISIS or Assad?
50:11 ISIS in Lebanon, ISIS bombs Hezbollah that is supporting Assad and why he cannot return to power in all Syria.
52.20 Another question: How would a 2nd tier governance respond to refugees? Natural Design! A safe zone in Syria? No leader of opposition is emerging.
57:30 a question from Neri Bar-on, last week’s guest: How many Syrias? 3!
1:00:00 a plug for crowd funding: www.PATREON.com/heidi63
The Wisdom Factory dedicates this conversation to the Syrian refugees and why there is no reason to fear them. The terrorists of the attack in Paris were not refugees, but born in Europe which opens the question about the responsibility of our Western Culture to deal in an appropriate way with people from other cultures to integrate them in their countries.
You will listen to what +Elza Maalouf and +Said E. Dawlabani have to say from their evolutionary perspective, grounded in #SpiralDynamics , a most valuable tool for understanding the levels of development of individuals and of societies.
Elza and Said will explain what is behind the present problems and what mindset and what methods are needed to address them in an effective way – and to avoid to make them worse.

Syrian refugees in Europe – no reason for fear
Public conversation with Hans Kalben and Henrik Wredmark streamed October 16th, 2015
It was an informal gathering of Wisdom Factory Community Members after the official show of the Wisdom Factory about the Syrian refugees and why we don’t need to fear them (with Said Dawlabani and Elza Maalouf, streamed Nov 27th, 2015, specialists for Middle East). We come together to discuss the show with two social workers (from Sweden and Germany) who give us their input
We come together to discuss the show with two social workers (from Sweden and Germany) who give us their input to the topic.
Both give you first hand information of what is happening in European countries ( in November 2015) – and they agree that Syrian refugees are not to be confounded with the terrorist of the attacks claimed by Isis, who were European Citizens and did NOT enter Europe as a refugee.
Music and terrorism Heidi Hornlein and Jessica Roemischer
streamed November 16th, 2015 after the attacks in Paris
DESCRIPTION
Two days after the terrorist attack in Paris Jessica Roemischer and Heidi Hornlein, both musicians, come together again to discuss about the power of music which had been the topic of a live show of the Wisdom Factory a few days earlier which they held at the very same time when those horrible things happened. (You find it in the MUSIC AND ART Archive section).
Terrorism against music? as the bandleader of the music group in the concert hall said where more than 100 people were shot. What role can music play to heal moments like that? Even to prevent them? Is there any possibility?
Join the discussion which we held on Blab, including valuable comments of our audience.
