By Fazrul Ismail | January 8, 2009

The Capacity to Suspend
By Fazrul Ismail | January 8, 2009
In his book Presence, Peter M Senge mentions about ‘the capacity to suspend’. Suspending doesn’t require destroying our existing mental models of reality - which would be impossible if we tried - or ignoring them. Rather, it entails what Bohm called , “hanging our assumptions in front of us”. By doing so, we begin to notice our thoughts and mental models as the workings of our own mind. And as we become aware of our thoughts, they begin to have less influence on what we see. Suspension allows to ’see our seeing’.

I know spirituality is something vague when I discuss with my American friends. For certain, even it is considered as taboo - you will see blushing face after you you try to mention about God in public. But for me, it is an interesting topic because I can rationalize and see how this topic will go and affect my life. There is a book ‘Spirituality for Our Global Community by Daniel A Helminiak. I spent a moment to dig the essence on what he is going to say.

Foaminess…
By Fazrul Ismail | April 10, 2008
How do we build a foaminess state in our life? Is it important? This is from Wikipedia
Systems thinking promotes a foaminess of collaboration, allowing for individual ideas to share the burden of the entire system. This assures excellent stability and adaptability—characteristics lacking in systems of thought which insist on homogeneity and absolute efficiency.

European Version of Systems Thinking
By Fazrul Ismail | April 10, 2008
Now I have broader idea on Systems Thinking I am researching. Instead of knowing US and Canada version, my friend Luke suggested me with several names to understand European version of ST. Those names:
- Peter Checkland
- Michael Jackson
- Robert Flood
- John Mingers
Should there exist Asian, Middle East and African version of Systems Thinking? Things to ponder.
