The SunWALK model – the ‘Whole’ to which all of the posts on this site relate.
SunWALK PDS Model (Personal Development System)
We all go through each day doing particular things but what’s our view of ‘the Whole’ to which all the parts relate? From these two, our sense of the Whole and our myriad thoughts, feelings & action comes the meaning and purpose of our lives.
The Whole for me I see this way;
Humanization is everything. De-humanization is hell. We are human in our caring our creativity & our criticality – acting individually and in community. Through these 4 ways we experience, grow and heal, through them we come to know who we are, our identity, and what it is that we all called to do, our purpose.
However, even when being scientific the ultimate context in which we operate is always mystery. Consequently we are also more or less human in how we relate to mystery and to how others relate to mystery.
From such a model of being human we can create personal, professional & community systems for holistic learning & healing.
Q. What is it to be professionally or personally holistic?
My answer: It is to develop that consciousness that enables us to proceed, in all particular acts, with a sacred sense of the Whole, and vice versa. – just as the Zen saying says; “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water”.
Q. What’s this universalist approach called?
Ans: Perennial Philosophy – the identical core you can find in all of the great wisdom traditions.
Q. What is your ‘Whole’ or world-view, to which you relate all of the particular actions & bits of your life?
