dr. aziz and the syndetic paradigm go to india

For The Syndetic Paradigm, Anant Nadkarni quite rightly notes, the progression from an ego-centric, willful life orientation, lived largely according to the power principle, to a life orientation in which we seek to align ourselves consciously with the intrinsic process of self-organizing nature itself, is indeed a progression that is not only loaded with implications for how we are to do our personal lives, but it is no less loaded with implications for how we are to conduct ourselves in business. Speaking with specific reference to The Syndetic Paradigm’s distinctive theoretical progression beyond the Freudian conflict-model of the psyche and the Jungian closed-system model of a self-regulating psyche to an open-system model of a psyche in a self-organizing totality, Nadkarni cogently asserts: "When such a process-based life orientation is applied to daily life and work, the search for meaning and the need to have a purpose becomes critically evident. It then becomes much simpler to explain why profit must have a purpose, why an individual’s passion must emanate out of a search for meaning, why genuine meaning must have an ethical basis and why people should behave ethically – because all of us are bound and connected and interconnected to the universe and its totality. We cannot, therefore, manipulate or subvert the system, the idea of being selfish is illusionary and the totality in which we all exist cannot be divided. Leadership will have to incorporate in daily ‘work-situations’ a much higher purpose for itself, its co-workers and their organizations, which is to say, become more inclusive, sustainable and personally be at peace with oneself. Just as there is evolution of the self, it would reflect on the evolution and behaviour of Capital." What a profound summation! What a wonderful introduction to the people of India, thank you.
