Jim and Julyan Davey discuss the 'sublimewe' modality, a tool for shifting towards a GameB mindset. They explore incorporating the intersubjective world into our models, interweaving inner and outer work, and the potential of initiation camps for the GameB paradigm. They delve into non-Jungian applications of the shadow, the self-perpetuating nature of GameA dynamics, and the question of trauma's primacy in shaping our values. The conversation covers methods for sharing value systems, the impact of social influence and performativity, and the depletion of different forms of capital in a GameA system.
😊 **The 'Sublimewe' Modality:** This modality acts as a tool to facilitate a shift in culture within groups, moving towards a GameB mindset. It emphasizes incorporating the intersubjective world into our models, interweaving inner and outer work, and creating initiation camps for the GameB paradigm. This approach challenges the traditional GameA dynamics and offers a pathway towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
🤔 **Non-Jungian Shadow Work:** The conversation explores the shadow concept, not from a Jungian perspective, but as a tool for understanding how GameA dynamics perpetuate themselves. It examines the non-trauma reasons for adopting GameA value structures and explores methods for sharing alternative value systems. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of how our actions are shaped by the systems we operate within, highlighting the need for conscious choice and transformation.
💪 **Building Sovereignty and Coherence:** The discussion emphasizes the importance of building individual and collective sovereignty while simultaneously fostering coherence within communities. This approach acknowledges the need for admitting ignorance and recognizing the potential for GameB spaces to exist. It highlights the transformative power of shifting from a control culture to a culture that fosters growth and empowerment.
💰 **Depletion of Capital:** The conversation addresses the depletion of various forms of capital within the current GameA system, including social, cultural, and natural capital. It explores how the pursuit of money-on-money return fuels a cycle of extraction and depletion, contributing to systemic inequality and environmental degradation. This analysis underscores the urgent need for a shift towards a more sustainable and equitable economic model.
🌌 **Transformative vs. Control Culture:** Julyan's work emphasizes the importance of shifting from a control culture to a transformative culture. This shift involves fostering a sense of agency and responsibility within individuals and communities, encouraging collective action towards a more life-affirming future. It challenges the dominant paradigm of control and encourages a focus on building sustainable systems that support human flourishing.
