"In Here" not "Out There"
About a year back, we launched a new program at the MIT Club of
Northern California titled: Exploring the Mind of the Leader,
anchored by Prof. Michael Ray of Stanford Graduate School of
Business. In that series, Prof. Ray interviewed some well-known
leaders like John Morgridge, Chairman of Cisco and Carol Bartz,
CEO of Autodesk. The goal was to collect nuggets on Leadership
Development.
Prof. Ray is a very interesting character. He teaches a famous
course at Stanford called "Creativity in Business" and has a
book by the same name. One of his fundamental thesis on
creativity and leadership is succinctly characterized by Bill
Carter as "Let go and Let God". My friend Scott Globus and I
spent a lot of time researching and getting to know Michael, and
concluded that he was our man, because he had something to say
which both Scott and I fundamentally agreed with: Serenity is a
greater source of creativity than rampant motion. Such motion,
we believe, generates only Brownian Motion, ie. Motion without
Energy.
This morning, Bill wrote me an email at 6:00 AM: "In the West we
have come to lack a sense of mystery partly because everything
interesting is supposed to be out there rather than in here, and
partly because we in the United States lack a sense of history
infecting every moment which is there in Europe and Asia (and
probably Latin America about which I know very little). This is
the personal and collective depth dimension lacking in Silicon
Valley, for instance." I invite you to read Bill's full email:
Hi Sramana
I looked at your website, as did Ulla. It is terrific, and very
"you" in its freelance inspired style. Probably something
appropriate will come to me to write for it. Meanwhile, here are
my thoughts which emerged when looking at Dominique's picture of
the people in the fog in Varanasi, which I was pleased to see on
your site. I thought of the fact that the Upanishads, arguably
the oldest text we have, depicted a
time of consciousness
emerging out of the unconscious. The ultimate primal creative
moment. "Thou are that", the repeated mantra, identified the
atman (soul) with god in the water, earth, air, fire, etc. In
the West we have come to lack a sense of mystery partly because
everything interesting is supposed to be "out there" rather than
"in here", and partly because we in the United States lack a
sense of history infecting every moment which is there in Europe
and Asia (and probably Latin America about which I know very
little). This is the personal and collective depth dimension
lacking in Silicon Valley, for instance. I am glad you are
applying Tagore to your experiences here -- this is the needed
corrective.
As you know I have had the instinct to want to illustrate the
Upanishads in book form, but have not seen the images in my
collection to use for that (yet). Anyway, that image of
Dominique's could be an iconic one for that moment in the mists
of pre-history when already realized beings were beginning to
leave their profound realizations of fundamental truth for
others to recognize and probe again for the trillionth time. In
our hyperconscious world we need to reconnect with the
unconscious, mysterious sources of our knowledge and creativity.
Hinduism gave us the big bang theory (form descending out of the
formless Brahman which that picture also expresses) with the
intuition that in the Upanishadic mode of understanding the
origins of the universe are also within us.
Now it is nearly 6 AM. No wonder the main meditation times in
India begin at pre-dawn and end with the sun rising: another
expression of the same theme.
Bill
