Emotional Intelligence is now part of the whole

 I understand the "me Too" movement and sexual mis-conduct are big topics in 2018. Behind or below the tip of this iceberg are the bigger ideas of "Emotional Intelligence" and 'interpersonal competency.'
Since about 1995 any-every Progressive org benefits by including these in the "wholes we have in mind."

Emotional Intelligence or "EQ," incorporating 'interpersonal competency' (which takes us beyond where Daniel Goleman's books left off), have both Outer Game and Inner Game aspects.

Outer Game of EQ

 Can you improve on this:

 When two or more waking persons wish to work together as teammates, it benefits both to mindfully practice specific methods to avoid and moderate interpersonal conflict, as best they can, towards"peace is present."

 Inner Game of EQ

 Can you improve on this:
Our Inner Game of Life works best when we can move flexibly back and forth between our Thinking~Feeling functions. When both functions are mindful and can work as teammates, we call this inner cooperation and self-connection.

Additionally:

 The most workable deliberate choices-decisions emerge from cooperation-collaboration between our Thinking and Feeling Functions.

Also:

 Little therapy, even little self-healing, can occur, unless and until, the individual feels equally safe to perceive both Thoughts and Feelings and rust their perceptions.
Healthy group process now part of the whole

 Towards a definition of healthy group process, here's 47 words:

quote When groups of 12 or more people, Grade Three or older, in the same room, work together, face to face, with specific group-process-formats, exercises, improv and Games Trainers Play, to maximize individual Aha!s, insights on a theme; and, consensus on values--we call this healthy group process.

#6 "Sounding-together" 301 (Audiation unbound)

From the mss:  On Beyond Waldorf, Team Human K-12 Education; Goethean Psychology Applied to Child Development and K-12 Schooling; Some Assembly Required The wholes we have in mind quote Participant report from Tone and Sound, led by Manfred Bleffert Manfred then gave us the image of the four animals from the Grimm’s fairy tale, “The Bremen Town Musicians”: donkey, dog, cat, and rooster. He further suggested these four represent four different levels (members) of human consciousness: Donkey Physical body Dog Astral (sensory) body Cat Etheric body Rooster Yadda-yadda waking self crowing about itself, from the neck-up Several individuals tried an exercise on the xylophone, playing the movement pattern (rhythm) of one animal. The rest of us had to guess which animal the musical rhythm portrayed. After each "tryout" the group voted for the rhythm most appealing to them for each animal. Next two xylophones, each with a different p...

#5 Goethean Psychology is Multiple meanings sounding-together

From the mss:  On Beyond Waldorf,  Team Human K-12 Education;  Goethean Psychology Applied to Child Development and K-12 Schooling;  Some Assembly Required The wholes we have in mind A great wisdom of Goethean Psychology, thru Waldorf theory-method, is exercising your capacity to hear multiple meanings sounding-together in a greater whole. The classic example here is naturally, a tuba or trombone, sounding alone may not sound like much; yet, as part of a chorus of instruments, in an orchestra, a tuba or trombone can add magnificence. The way we make the maximum sense of any music, orchestral, choirs, commercial pop songs--is by listening to hear all the components sounding together. In acoustic guitar playing, this can be as simple as hearing vocals and music sounding together. The phrase "sounding together" sometimes "sounding-together" seems to come from Rudolf Steiner but Mr. Google has no conclusive evidence. Now the time ...
