Observing Wholeness
We do not see the world as it is. We perceive the world as it appears to us, shaped by our experiences and memories, our cultures and values. From one person to another, the way the world is seen, felt, and understood as right can differ. This is an attempt to observe, through dialogue, the world as it appears to a single person—how that world has given rise to particular ideas, sensibilities, intentions, and actions. Memory is shaped by interpretation; records by selection. The boundaries between truth and interpretation, fact and narrative, are always shifting. Embracing this ambiguity, we approach one person’s world through three perspectives—Truth, Goodness, and Beauty—to perceive the greater whole we call Gestalting™. To experience another way of seeing, feeling, and understanding what is right may free us from our own measures and open up a new way of seeing the world. Ideas, sensibilities, memories, choices, and actions are different parts that emerge from the wholeness of a person. When we perceive the relationships between them as one existence, something irreducible to its individual parts may begin to emerge—a concept that has yet to be named. We believe in that possibility.
