4.1.6 Principis de regeneració

1. Wholes refers to the perception of a being as a whole, cohesive entity with a purpose within a wider system as opposed to being composed of interconnected parts.
2. Potential refers to the idea of something as having the potential to become and contribute rather than just being what it is right now.
3. Essence is the refusal to group things into broad categories and the understanding that each creature is unique, has its own character, and will reveal itself in a particular way.
4. Development is the process of advancing a whole being’s essence, potential, and unique contribution in order for it to become more fully manifest.
5. Nestedness is the understanding that every entire is nested within other wholes, so that changes at one level have an impact on all levels and that each whole’s potential influences all other levels.
6. Nodal showing essence-sourced processes within a structure in a manner that enables the identification of targeted actions that reshape it in the direction of a more fully realized representation of its potential.
7. Fields are the process of identifying and modifying the qualitative condition of something, which either restricts or facilitates the work it is capable of doing.

In contrast to accepting them as abstract notions to be modified in mental sequences, these principles can be employed to create visuals in the mind. This also differs from visualization, which involves creating mental images that depict a desired state. Imaging, on the other hand, is the mental process of merely viewing things as they are and monitoring how they function. The livingness of a network can therefore be understood in a rich, multi-layered way by weaving these images together.

The presumption that one is already functioning regeneratively is one of the major obstacles to understanding how to do it. The set of ideas stated above will likely be theoretically identifiable and even familiar to many of our readers, we are aware of that. Sadly, their familiarity may cause them to lose some of their disruptive abilities. To incorporate the new paradigm’s concepts and language into outdated ways of thinking, one must overcome the subconscious habit of resisting it by becoming familiar with, reinterpreting, and adopting it. Increasing one’s level of comfort involves extending one’s idea without actually lifting and transmuting it.

We understand that at first it may seem strange and unnatural to give in to the strength of a living principle rather than resisting it and employing it as a tool. Yet, if these concepts are utilized consistently and rigorously to catching oneself anytime one dips underneath the regenerative level of paradigm, they can be used to undo a lifetime of training. Every moment they are used, they need to be “regenerated” (brought to life) by being visualized and combined with another living system. They shouldn’t be reduced to a list of impersonal ideas because it would rob them of meaning and give the impression that one is considering regeneratively while in reality one is sticking to an outdated worldview.
