The first issue is how we get to know abundance. Can it be seen?

STORY
Early in my life I met Maco, a blind student who had a great capacity to grasp the unseen. Chapter one begins with the story of our relationship...
WISDOM LITERATURE
A perfect exemplar of using the either/or and the both/and lenses of seeing patterns is the well-known concept of yin and yang, found in the Chinese literature written 2500 years ago. Later we will discuss the insights the yin-yang dynamic contributes to the abundance-scarcity dance.
SUMMARY
  • Our sensorium can access only a small fragment of reality.
  • The creatures around us sense things we never recognize.
  • We can sense with both either/or and both/and modalities.
  • Data produced by multiple senses often seems incongruent.
  • Information that is conflicting is cognitively demanding.
  • Abundance is about both what-is and what-might-be.
  • Our senses are not equipped to tap into latent possibility.
  • It is more difficult to see what is potentially emerging than what already exists.
  • Abundance is found in the empty spaces between interacting entities.
  • The abundance-scarcity dynamic is based on flow, balance,and realignment.

REFLECTIONS
During the times we spent together Maco taught me that using only his hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching skills, he was able to “see” much more than I could. This chapter addresses our ways of sensing, and with the assistance of the ancient Chinese notion of yin and yang, how we can reform our conception of abundance.

Either Or vs. Both And Thinking

The difference between two thinking systems serves as a prompt for us to begin sensing abundance.
