There once lived a young man who was very sad and unsatisfied. He went to visit a Zen temple, thinking this may help.
“You must know that I am quite useless,” the boy explained upon meeting the Zen master of the temple. “I have never committed myself to anything for any length of time, and I have no real skills.…

ソーシャルメディアの環境では、絶えずできるだけ多くをしゃべり、しかもそれが真実かどうかも気にしない人が報酬を与えられます。そういう人たちが、このアテンションエコノミーで勝ち組になっているのです。

今こそ、方向性やストーリーを変える時なのではないかと思います。日本社会には、もっと働いてもっと努力したら結果が出るという風潮があると思います。そうではなく、的確な仕事、的確な努力をするストーリーや方向性に変えるべきなのです。

Wisdom2.0Japanに参加して サンフランシスコ発の最先端のマインドフルネスやコンパッションのカンファレンスの日本版wisdom2.0ジャパン、二日間参加させていただきました!!https://wisdom2japan.com この分野で世界的に著名な方々から、今後の礎になる、錨になるような話をたくさん聞くことができました!! (とったメモがA49枚にもなりました!) 一番衝撃だったのは、奈良の天河弁財社の柿坂宮司と、横澤和也さんの音のセッション!! これはインドで感じたナーダヨーガそのものでは!! インドの神様サラスワティが日本に伝わり弁財天として祀られ、ここにしっかりとその叡智が伝えられているでは無いか!! 世阿弥も演奏したという能舞台でのお二人の演奏は、言葉では表現できない、まさに宇宙を感じました。 神様が降りてきている音でした。 ご演奏だけでなく、柿坂宮司のお話になる言葉は、論理を超えたところで、詩のような表現がたくさんで、本当に大切なことは、言語や論理では表現できないのだな、だからこそ、音や詩のような芸術があるんだなぁと思いました。 マインドフルネスやコンパションの世界的に著名な方からのお話とともに、天河弁財社のような日本の素晴らしい叡智に触れられたことが本当によかったです!! 奈良の天川村は、修験道で有名な場所、修行してぇえええw https://www.tenkawa-jinja.or.jp そして、オンラインではありますが、近しい思いを持った人々が一堂に会する場にいて感じたことは これから自分が取り組んでいこうとしていることは、一人じゃない、同じ思いを持った仲間がたくさんいること、勇気を持って、自分が信じている世界観を表現していけばいい!!と思えたこと。 妻と一緒に現在進行形で温めているヨガのプロジェクトに詰めた思いやコンセプトで考えていたようなことを 多くの登壇者の方の口からも同じキーワードが出てきて 自分たちが進もうとしている道に後押ししてもらえたと思いました。 読書会を主催させていただいている「コンパション」「死にゆく人と共にあること」著者のジョアン・ハリファックス老師の直接にセッションを初めて体験させていただきました。 老師の瞑想のセッションが素晴らしかったので、そこで得た体感を、 ヨガのクラスなどで、また皆さんにぜひシェアしたいと思いました。 以下、印象に残ったキーワード クラウドにアップできないものが「叡智」 学・術<道 プラクシス(目的指向・評価・パフォーマンス重視)<ポイエーシス(それ自体が目的・手放し) 威風堂々とした態度で、使命やお役目をこの地球で表現していく、そのエネルギーが周囲に伝わる 自分自身の中の叡智に気付いていく、自分自身が寺であり、瞑想の場 少数の怖れない人々 不安定を怖れない 怖れを拡散しない 好奇心がドリブン デジタルウェルビーイング このオンラインでのデジタル社会において、自分や自然とつながること うつ病とSNS 全機現 人が持っているすべての機能を現す すべての人が持っている Humanity 人間回帰 録画を見ながら、これからまた少しずつ消化していくのが楽しみです。 素晴らしい場を作るために尽力してくださった主催者の方々、スタッフの皆様、本当にお疲れ様でした。同じ道の大先輩として、これからも繋がっていただけたら嬉しいです。 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGe8-QIn2oZ/?igshid=5nvw3dstja79

Empowerment 先日の米国SFでのマインドフルネスのシンポジウムで、繰り返しリピートされていた言葉の中に、Empowermnet(エンパワメント)という言葉がある。 ここで言う、エンパワメントとは、女性が社会的に権利や意見権を持ち自立していくために力をつけていう重要性を表しているのではない。私たちひとりひとり全員に内在している潜在力、生命力、実行力を指している。それぞれが自らの力を信じることがいかに、現代社会において重要か。それを繰り返し、問われ、語られ、考えさせられるシンポジウムだった。 誰しもが経験したであろう、過去の苦悩や悲しみや自己否定を余儀なくされたマイナスの出来事は、実は、最適なタイミングで最適に起こっていること。個人の力(=エンパワメント)は、そのそれぞれのマイナスの出来事を乗り越えるだけの力が「必ず!」備わっている。 あなたの人生が、これまでどれだけ、大変な人生でしたか?今、苦悩の中にひしがれていますか? 苦しいことが大きいほど、「何故私だけが、こんなに苦労をするのだろう?」「何故こんなに不幸なのだろう?」と思うかもしれない。 でも、今こそ、自分の潜在能力に目覚めるべき時。自己否定をする影響を取り除き、潜在的に持っているエンパワメントを自覚し、個性と力を呼び覚ます時。もはや悩んだり、悲しんだりするのは、時間がもったいない。なぜなら、自分のエンパワメントを自覚し、自分自身をそして周りの人たちを幸せにできる時間は本当に限られているのだから。

いまや巨大なテレビ局のごときパワーを人々に与えてしまい、15歳の個人が何百万人もの人に声を届けることができるのに、テレビ局が負うべき責任がそこにないことなんです。 運よく人々がこの放送レヴェルのパワーを誠実に、知恵と責任をもって使い、何がほかの人を助けることになるかをしっかりと考えてシェアすれば、本当に美しい世界に住むことができるかもしれません。しかし、金銭的なインセンティヴのシステムによって、何が最も選ばれるべきかはビジネスモデルが決めることになります。そこでは真実をシェアするよりも、人の生死を語ったり、嘘を発明したりするほうが、より早く注目を集めることができるのです。

Wisdom2.0: it came for our heartbeats, now Google wants our souls
Carole Cadwalladr in Dublin, The Guardian, 19 September 2014
Dublin’s Google headquarters bears all the hallmarks of the modern tech workplace: an industrial chic aesthetic, endless free snacks, designer furniture in primary colours that looks like it’s been hijacked from a children’s playground, and, this week, the advanced forces of what may or may not be the Next Big Thing: not a new mobile phone, or a really super fancy watch, but something even more radically cutting-edge: “wisdom”.
Because for three days this week, in an auditorium at the heart of the city’s hi-tech cluster, an unholy alliance of Googlers, Buddhist monks, techies, HR directors, MPs and recovering CEOs bandied around words like “compassion”, “empathy”, “communion” and “consciousness”.
This was Wisdom2.0, a Californian conference that grew out of the west coast’s twin obsessions of technology and self-actualisation, and that came to Europe for the first time this week.
It has already held events in Google’s Mountain View office and at Facebook and since its inception six years ago, it’s been enthusiastically taken up by the tech industry. More than 2,000 people attended Wisdom2.0’s main event in San Francisco this year, and it’s attracted high-profile supporters like Arianna Huffington and Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn, and now it’s looking to take the message to a global audience.
It might be called a conference, but to the uninitiated it looked more like a revival meeting or religious gathering--just without the religion bit getting in the way. Prayer bells called the delegates back to session, regular “stillness” breaks were built into the agenda, and at one point participants were told to put their arm around the person next to them, softly stroke them “and feel the connection”.
It’s technology that’s at the heart of this, or at least what technology is doing to our lives. And Wisdom2.0’s mission is to address this, “the great challenge of our age”: how to “live connected to one another through technology … in ways that are beneficial to our own well-being.”
Another take on it is that the tech industry having captured our attention, our time and our bank accounts with their endlessly distracting devices, and created apps that measure our heartbeats and quantify our physical health, has taken the next logical step: it is now after our souls.
Soren Gordhamer, Wisdom2.0’s founder, explained to the delegates who had paid up to €600 each, that at its heart it represented an attempt “to bring ancient wisdom into the modern age”. And at the vanguard of the movement is mindfulness, the secular version of meditation that is said to do everything from slowing ageing to improving your sex life.
It’s currently vying to overtake yoga as the must-do metropolitan leisure activity but it’s also had proven clinical results--to reduce stress, aid sleep, and improve both physical and mental well-being--and Chris Ruane, the Labour MP for the Vale of Clwyd, told the audience about how, having introduced to the House of Commons, an all-party parliamentary group is now trying to roll it out into wider public life after the next general election.
But that is just the beginning. Alfred Tolle, a senior sales manager at Google who was the host for the event, went even further. It was, he said, about trying to create “a collective consciousness” that would hopefully “make the world a better place”.
“Ten years ago, if you’d said this sort of thing, people would have said ‘Put the hippy in the ground’,” he said later. “But today, people are starting to get it. Even in management meetings, I talk about connecting inner and outer worlds and people look at me suspiciously, but they sort of get it.”
Tolle has been practising Zen meditation for 25 years and on top of his sales remit, he seems to have taken it upon himself to become Google’s unofficial chief soul officer. He said he wanted to hold the event because “we have to reconnect to our souls and ourselves in order to use technology wisely. I see it as my job to drive Google in that direction.”
There is, said one of the participants, a Dublin-based technologist called Frazer McKimm who studies human and machine interaction, “an increasing sense of disquiet. There’s a sense that our relationship with technology has become something that even the creators of it can’t control. Even the dominators are being dominated. It’s infantilising us in a way.”
The challenge, according to a Scottish app developer, Rohan Gunatillake, is to deal with it without “pathologising our relationship to technology”. He proposed that mindfulness should be built into all technology, and suggests solutions including a traffic system warning for websites and nutrition information-style labels that detail what they do to our mental health; he singled out newspaper comment sections, which should carrying a big red flag. “Technology is not the problem,” he told the conference. “Bad technology is the problem.”
In fact, says Gordhamer, it’s no surprise that questions about meaning and purpose have been embraced so enthusiastically by the tech industry. “If you look at the tech founders they all found success so young that it’s only natural that they should now be asking, ‘What else is there?’”
And, it’s that question--what else is there?--that had drawn participants from as far afield as Australia. Katrin Bauer, a 46-year-old consultant radiologist from Dundee, said that she’d discovered meditation as a means of coping with the stress of technology.
“I work on a computer all day and they break, they go wrong, we don’t have the most up-to-date software. I didn’t tell my colleagues at first. These eastern practices are seen as a bit of a taboo in the NHS but so many of my colleagues are off sick--very capable, talented people who just burn out. And there is an absolute clinical benefit to mindfulness that goes far beyond just churning out more pills. There is so much more that could be done to improve people’s well-being.”
Just as mindfulness secularised an ancient spiritual practice that’s been used for thousands of years, so the new wisdom industry has taken other concepts, more usually associated with religious practice, and given them a fresh new spin, foremost among them “compassion”, the buzzword of Wisdom2.0.
Tania Singer, a neuroscientist at the Max Planck Institute, who has led the biggest research study so far in to the effect of mindfulness on the brain, gave a talk in which she showed her research into neuroplasticity and “affective training”. Compassion, she claimed, is distinct from empathy. It can be taught. And it had the effect of making new areas of the brain light up: in effect, it made its subjects happier.
The cynical take on all this is that it’s big business trying to create a new generation of happy worker drones. The chief people officer--or what used to be called the head of HR--for Zynga had come to look for new ideas to take into the workplace and she explained that it was not enough to provide industrial chic furnishings and a free lunch any more: “Millennials want more than that. They want meaning.”
There has been “a convergence of work and personal life,” she said. “People are never really off so we have to address the whole person. And if we can help people, it helps employee retention. Anything that helps people personally has benefits that apply to the whole company.”
Is it the start of the push back? Or simply corporate America’s latest initiative to bend the world to its will? “We don’t check people at the door,” said Soren Gordhamer.
“My work is to show up and be present for people who care. The only moment we ever have is right now. Life is more fulfilling when we show up without an agenda.”
