Still the three kinds of conversation buzz

Still the three kinds of conversation are buzzing about: Conversation-1 is transferring information; Conversation-2 is acting upon things; and Conversation-3 is acting upon the actors.

People know these levels and how to go there: seldom do we have the opportunity to choose. Community disorganizing then is giving people a chance to go to whatever of these levels they might choose.

People move information; people move the world; people move.

People move information: it might be humor or small talk (designed to move the information that I am a friendly, reliable, whatever kind of person I want you to know I am) or a 300 page business report. People move the world: this might range from Please pick up that scrap of paper, to organizing a church potluck. People move: here people take ownership of a project and are at the threshold of meeting and co-creating each other.

People engage top of head; people engage brain and muscle; people engage heart and guts. Conversation starts at the extremities and moves toward center.

You do not fit?

We know it is true to ourselves if it does not fit an existing category. Uniqueness points to new truth.

Unlimited here?

What if infinity were not unlimited space but unlimited here? You could be at home on the north pole and here in Indiana—at the same moment. You could be inside a quantum leap and on top of a tennis ball at Wimbledon—in the same now.
