Indian interest in HG ideas continues to grow
For many years there has been interest in the HG approach in India – earlier this month Ivan Tyrrell and John Bell were invited to attend a CSEER Dialogue meeting hosted in Delhi, India, to join in a discussion with professors supportive of the Human Givens approach.
Entitled Reflection between Past and Future this wide-ranging discussion was organised by the Centre for the Study of Evolution, Enlightenment and Re-Integration (CSEER), which brings people together from various disciplines for conversations and deliberations aimed at carving a constructive way forward for us as a species at this critical and turbulant time.
Agreeing on the importance of rehabilitating a needs-based approach to human affairs, becoming closer to a natural rhythm, and imagining new ways of creating individual and collective meaning and purpose, the discussion was structured to answer the following leading questions:
- As you view the world today, in each of your perspectives, do you sense an inflection point in history’s curve today? And if so, what does it look like?
- What are some changes in the way human societies have been organised, as far back as you find appropriate, that you think have most significantly determined where we, as a collective, are today?
- Do you think there has been a continuous, unchanging thread…a set of tendencies, dispositions, facts of human nature as it were….which has equally determined where we are today?
- What directions do you sense we may move towards from here?
