On Dialogue & Open World Café

David Bohm writes in his book "On Dialogue" (Routledge Classics, 2007, p. 27-28):

"You can see the whole scope of this question of dialogue giving attention to thought may look rather elementary or simple in the beginning, but it actually gets to the root of our problems and opens the way to creative transformation.

We come back to the realization that the thing which has gone wrong with thought is basically, as I said before, that it does things and then says or implies that it didn't do them - that they took place independently, and that they constitute "problems."

Whereas what you really have to do is to stop thinking that way so that you stop creating that problem. The "problem" is insoluble as long as you keep on producing it all the time by your thought. Thought has to be in some sense aware of its consequences, and presently thought is not sufficiently aware of its consequences."

Are we aware of the consequences. Are we prepared to Stop, Reflect, & Listen?

I strongly believe that we need to have more dialogue, and more spaces for this dialogue to develop. This is what the Open World Café is about.

Let's make a difference, together.
