Dialogue, ‘I’, ‘WE’ and ‘IT’ modes of engagement for Caring, Creativity & Criticality

Within any model of holistic education, including my own SunWALK, I see dialogue as being multi-level.

i) At the interpersonal level we have dialogue with each other, or group to group – including about any aspect of the Arts, Sciences and Humanities.

ii) At the intra-personal level we have;

In the creative ‘I’ voice we have meditation/mystical union in which, ironically, ego is set aside in order to achieve subjective expression. The loss of the ‘ego boundary’ in the creative act

In the critical ‘IT’ voice we also have inner dialogue – thought is often seen as internalized speech. However if Einstein’s many references to what is essentially a mystical view of his own scientific creativity – as we shape the before and after

In the caring ‘WE’ voice we have a wider set of forms of dialogue set as it is in relationships e.g. body language as well as spoken and written language.
Intra-personal meditation has been described as conversing with our own spirit!
