The Inflow Matrix stands for ‘information flowing through a matrix’.
Matrix comes from the latin word for womb.
Perhaps we are ever searching
to remake our wombs
to have the safety
and warmth
of our
place of origin.
The Inflow Matrix
is information
flowing through a structure.
It is multidimensional.
It is values based
and knowledge sensitive.
It is a unifying language system
that centers
together
all the separate pieces
of your
business
and
personal
life.
We all have online
and offline
systems of organizing information,
how well do they all integrate?
How overwhelmed are you
with all the information to manage,
especially as a
knowledge worker?
The Inflow Matrix
looks to improve
productivity
and the quality of work done in
4 critical areas
for human beings:
LEARNING
CREATIVITY
COMMUNICATION
HEALTH
@
the
Individual
Group
Community
LEVELS
It is a self-organizing,
emerging,
open system
that is looking for the right technology
and people
to bring all of the sustainable solutions
into one whole free educational system.
We are missing a holistic,
comprehensive values based
approach
to
solving
many of the world’s
greatest issues.
Currently
an outdated
‘Industrial Revolution Language Paradigm’
is running the planet
with its fear mongering,
great greed
and a con of a financial system.
The key element is debt
and what would life be
without it.
Instead,
replaced by communities of sovereign beings
who create a life together,
free from oppressive monetary control systems
of governments
that are not looking out
for the interests of the whole,
but for the limited greedy interests of the few
that put them in power.
This is a proven fact.
Well the masses have woken up.
The emperor is riding around with no clothes
and so many people,
namely the Cultural Creatives (50 million strong)
are looking to a more peaceful,
sustainable
loving
co-existence.
No one wants more war
except those who personally gain from it.
The corruption,
the wars,
the bombings
are all symbols of the past
because when the masses
start to apply their overwhelming strength
in peaceful strikes,
you will watch things
unfold very differently.
You watch what inspired human beings
can do in service to the greater whole
when they find a way
to align their gifts and talents
with the means
to produce their lifestyle choice.
The Inflow Matrix
is a set of maps
anyone can use to transform their gifts and talents
into a sustainable lifestyle.
And when all the businesses connect together,
they do so on the same platform.
Within this platform
is a way to create a
Shared Knowledge Community.
This is when all the knowledge workers
organize around some
cause, issue, or product
and all use the inflow matrix
as the uniting information system.
The added synergy
due to values alignment,
coupled with a mapped out system of info flow
will lead a group of pioneers into new territories
of online and offline collaboration.
We are in a renaissance.
Why not use this time to transform
what is no longer working
into things that work really well?
Just go ahead and do it.
Don’t ask anyone’s permission
just take initiative to make everything
more sustainable all the time.
The key to doing this
is communication and learning
to really read your own context
as well as the context of
whom you are speaking with
before you begin to connect.
The Inflow Matrix
has maps and card sets
to allow you to do this.
It’s a way to see connection and alignment
in all the chaos and noise
that the ‘Industrial Revolution Language Paradigm’
uses to keep people
confused and doubtful.
In business
you need to know where someone is,
and where they want to go
and how you are going to help them get there.
In whatever form it takes,
the same essential process is occurring.
If you have a very appropriate language structure,
A New Paradigm Knowledge Worker Toolkit
to organize any business
from beginning to end,
that would be useful wouldn’t it?

The Power of Story
Audio Podcast of Blog
With the change in name and journeying back into the cyberworld, namely Facebook, I am overcome with the need to explain myself. Because now, there are too many witnesses, too many relationships along the timeline are gathering in one place and I find it intense.
Everyone else seems to be ok with it. I don’t see people screaming anywhere. Maybe its because I jumped out of it a year ago and found what it was like not to be so connected with immediate communication capacities, yet at the same time what communication then exists? Or do we see how we don’t communicate, or we didn’t communicate, or we just don’t want to communicate with everyone all the time.
I see faces at different stages of my life. I see witnesses of different timelines
And yet.
No one knows the whole story. No one can weave the threads together but ourselves. What is each of our stories? At life midpoint or thereabouts one can look back and see as much as what lies ahead. Yet now we have some experience. We have our experiences. We have our story. And when we have some lucid moments we compare our story, our interpretation of our life’s experiences, with how reality is portrayed to us by the dominant language paradigm of the context we find ourselves in.
And most people live others peoples stories that are birthed in this dominant language paradigm. They come from the same cognitive space. And it’s meant to devour your inner story. It’s very deadly and almost never discussed or witnessed.
People end up not carving out their own stories and that is a sad acknowledgement. Instead, we have movies, and books and other peoples stories continually inputing their path and the ACCOMPANYING DATA into your mind.
If you have no story you don’t have a chance. The stories out there will fill you up and you won’t be able to tell the difference between any of them because you have no internal reference point to check it out against your direct experience.
I find I need to tell my story. I need to tie the pieces together and see how the story could expand….because once you know the story and how you fit into it….then you can make your own interpretation of the information presented. Because right now significance can change.
People who thought they were something, become something else.
When is your chance to do something incredible? When is your chance to make your mark? How does destiny pull at your roots and send you on tangents you would never have imagined possible?
That’s when it is a good idea to have a good story so you can keep track of things. So you can out things in context.
As I look back at the story I have been in, it centers around different people, all masters in some way. We would spend some time together and then we would part ways. Some more time, some less time. But one thing I knew was that there was a much different connection with you than with everyone else.
Everyone distinguishes this in their relationships. Some people are far closer than others. Some people you let in deep and some not at all. The depth of connection determines the kind of relationship it will be.
So with each of you there was a depth of connection. There was a sharing of each others being. A sharing of each others knowledge. We constantly learn form one another. Deep down that may be our most favourable characteristic. We can learn. We can learn to change. We can learn to fashion our own story so we know exactly what we stand for and how we conduct ourselves on this planet in this lifetime at this time. Now.
So each of you has an interpretation of me and for some of you…an interpretation of me and my work and that is what I want to explain to you. I have never explained fully the whole idea to anyone. I haven’t really attempted to write about it except in bits & pieces. But what I found out it is that the story that is the most interesting part.
You may not want to learn about the design of a multi-dimensional values based communication system and all its intricacies. But you probably might want to know about the story behind it and how you fit into it.
For each of you hold keys to the unfolding of the puzzle. Each of you holds a genius that is necessary to see something that no one else does.
Or so I hope. Or I have sensed. Or I am totally out to lunch on.
We shall see. For only those that really can follow a story will really benefit from this. For it is in our sharing of stories that we then can share meaning and significance together. And if we don’t do that then are we truly in relationship?
I am looking to see who I am really connected with. I want to end the illusions of presumption and see who is there. At least to hear the story. Because it’s a good one. It’s a funny one. And a very strange one. And it will stretch your beliefs outside of its confinements if you let it.
