Transparency: Risks and Rewards

[Yvette Dubel]

One of the things we are promoting with Cultural Fusion is
transparency and Inclusion. I know to many this may seem contrary to developing intellectual property which can maintain its value.

The risk of transparency in concept origination and development is that someone can "steal" your idea, right?

I don't think so.

That's because a truly original idea....one with that special something that comes from Source is just that unique and intimately connected to ones' being. Even if someone reads my words, if their intention is not positive, they will not be able to fully see what is being expressed. This is hiding in plain site, only those with the heart and soul that is in synch will see what is being shared because the true heart of it is what happens through sharing and collaboration. This means that only people who are working in close communication with me will have been given insight into the magic of the concept. See Hotel Infinity

When someone reads the words and has the intention to steal the idea, what they do is miss the very thing that gives it its highest value....the integrity and passion that are the foundation and the highest security that is based on loving inclusion.

This is a radically new way of approaching security and it is as mysterious as invisible ink.

What I have observed in the past when I felt someone had attempted to steal my ideas is this....

What the other person created and what I envisioned were not the same thing.

It has challenged me to understand exactly how inclusion works and more specifically how it works in this context.
There is the personal collaboration levels that is about sharing and as that stretches outwards to wider circles the sharing is amplified by a focus on service for humanity.

In the past I would get upset and feel victimized, but now I smile and thank you for the validation that others saw value in the ideas whether they develop them with me or not,, my freedom to do so is not hindered.



There is space for everyone to express what they feel called to express to move them forward...whether that be in business or life. Now I understand something Ron said some time back about abandoning the idea of ownership of ideas. It is instead value that is based on contrast aka unique expression and quality of attention which is shaped by intention

I can see that what another created is the result of specific efforts and see what is there to learn. Where there is conflict there is something in common and once that area is understood there is no longer conflict.
This is the opportunity I am interested researching that is informed by Ron's Theory of Attention.

I have learned to see my chances to practice inclusion and to explore how value is established and leveraged in this new social capital enhanced economic model. I think inquiry into and effort at defining these issues is key to getting businesses seriously engaged in the open source arena.

The shared vision of those on the Cultural Fusion team is the basis for what I have defined as Convergence. Today it occurs to me that what I mean to draw attention to is the nonverbal soul/intuitive level communication that is understood and felt in a mutually profound way. It is that level of synchronicity which commands your attention and promotes your personal growth, an awakening of consciousness and all that entails. This is why my wish for everyone is that some day you can find a true vision that is unique to your highest being.

In my insights (SoulFood Traditions) service is the path to experiencing ourselves as an expression of Source. This natural flow towards the path of service and integrity as the key to quantifying value of attention, creativity, etc.

In a sense this is the basis for the value of social capital.

What are the traits that either increase or diminish your value in relationship and attention driven economies?

What do you say about my view of risks and rewards? What has been your experience?

[Inger-Mette Stenseth]

I think you are so right - it is impossible to steal an idea at its highest potential.

However, sharks out there - would steal if for money on a different level than you imagine.

They will drink all the water , that could be used to noursh you and your seed - to cultiva an idea, into a project, into enterprising, into manifestation - like a caring mother, who understands when someone is a threat ...

As long as the mother is healthy and strong - in balance - things might be fine...

However, in the culture of peace - in collaboration, in transparency ....the world will correct the wrong-doings of the Sharks. This in a open culture of inclusion, sharing happiness for ones efforts, visions and dreams....

An important question to reflect on!

Thanks, Ron. That is very much appreciated.

Essentially, I was sitting down to meditation and it came upon me to go to hotelinfinity.net
I was at first overcome with this deep sense of betrayal...I started writing the first version of this blog post and became so emotional I decided I needed to get away from the computer.
Then....
I fainted.

Yes, I literally passed out on the floor for about 20 minutes.

When I collected myself I pondered what had happened, how I felt and revised the blog post.

Still not exactly sure what to make of it all, and the blog post reflects the start of processing it.

Thanks for your support :-)

i am currently investigating an apparatus called "Brain Response" from a company called NanoTech

the apparatus can measure AND send attention
it is wonderful

so let me know what happens in your life
and i can measure the effect

clarification- low capital as in low cash

[Yvette Dubel]

Agree...and would add that the value- is in discovering new ones. Because a distinctive business model that is integrated with with the core product concept and process provides a notable market advantage. It is at that level that old models of competition are not especially useful because this is sometimes little more than replicating what already exists with a new coat of paint.

This would seem to put the low capital business or organization at a bit of disadvantage unless a news models emerge that leverage intangible assets.

[Anna Dani]

Yes - I think open source models can do very well as a business model - I think it is interesting to look at a few examples and follow their progress to get a clear picture ...

[Yvette Dubel]

I don't disagree with you, Anna. I think this is part of what has to be explored and understood to engage the private sector and to fulfill the commercial potential of open source to play prominently in the sustainability strategies. There has to be an economic model that will support sharing and collaboration...essentially the honor system for sharing credits. But what makes this distinctive it seems to me is the simultaneous respect and support for individual freedom.

Hi Yvette - hope you are well.

I think it is a very important subject - when it comes to ideas - I have been taking part in open source and open content projects which taught me a lot about new ways of looking at creativity.

I think no ideas come from a vacuum - all ideas and creative works build on each other - I don't think one can use the word "stealing" in most cases - when it comes to jazz - one musician builds on the previous artists' work - and this is how I imagine the creative process.

I think open licenses like the ones Creative Commons are great - since everyone gets acknowledged while the creative process can go on uninterrupted.
