Context

Context

Context is the agreement-based framework for every human interaction.

The Space determines what is possible.

The Context determines the qualities of the Space.

The Context is a Heart Community’s relationship to consciousness and responsibility.

Each Heart Community’s primary Context is:

Radical Responsibility

What is Radical Responsibility?

Conscious Radical Responsibility is recognizing that we are Radically Responsible for the Choices we make - both our Conscious Choices AND our Unconscious Choices. It is being inescapably responsible for the level of responsibility being taken in any time and any space, even when it looks like there is no time and no space.

Context Detection

Questions to detect Context:

1. In whose Gameworld is this conversation taking place?
2. Under whose auspices (organization name or authority) is each person participating? Who is each person representing? Themselves? Or some Are there any secret groupings such as families, secret affiliations, ? Which Gameworld is each person representing?
3. Whose Space is this? Who has Authority to select the Context of this conversation?
4. Do we agree on a single Context for this Space? Or is this a Mixed-Context Space? (which usually leads to Context War or stalemate)
5. Are ALL those with relevant Authority here? Is there anyone with Authority not in this conversation Space? (If so, this is probably a waste of time.)
6. Does each person have equal Authority here? Or is there a spectrum of different Authorities? Who decides each person's Authority? Can that agreement be changed by people in the Space? (If not, then an external Authority takes precedence, and we go back to Question 5.)
7. Is this unrestricted Collaboration? Or is someone being paid money to be there? (If anyone is being paid to be there, who is paying them? The payer has power and influence as an external Authority. This meeting could be a waste of time because the payer has already made the decisions.)Is there any Assumption that we are all supposed to bow down to some external Authority?
