For deep thinkers: dive deep into learning about sacred silence
Inviting all learning design architects, leaders, academics, researchers, mentors, muses, mavens, and practitioners to compose complex questions about how to do good for the commons, humanity, the common good, the well-being of all life, and the health of the planet.
Tips for embarking on our transformational learning journeys together
Cut and paste any bulleted question, concept, statement, or paragraph into perplexity.ai and other AI tools to compare and contrast outputs. Use the citations to make sense of their meaning, as part of our exploratory learning journeys together. Do research on a question before engaging in a peer dialogue session.
What do you view as the benefits and limitations of using AI in responding to your inquiries?
What are your overall critiques and impacts of AI outputs?
Each module has advanced preparation in addressing complex questions before participating in dialogue sessions (15-60 minutes) along with follow-up sessions supported by asynchronous communications between synchronous learning experiences.
How might we self-reflect, dialogue, and muse in ways that inspire and align us to co-create a fair-free-flourishing future to benefit all?
This learning process prepares learners to develop a broad array of skills (such as self-awareness, critical thinking, and ethical discernment skills).

1. How can we become more curious about why complex questions trigger emotional reactions that prevent transformative learning needed to solve our wicked problems?
Transformational learning processes are essential to redress the meta-crisis of our systemic power abuse dynamics. These dysfunctional dynamics set up our poly-crisis: the complex entanglements of our self-inflicted wicked problems in the 21st century.
Wicked problems are complex in that they have no single, simple, definitive, or final solutions, with no right-wrong answers. Wicked problems call for developing complexity skills.
How might we compose complex questions to evoke self-reflection and co-create generative dialogues to work through the emotional barriers that prevent transformational learning?
Our emotional reactions to complex questions provide insights into how our brain functions in shaping our mindsets. When we feel strongly, our emotional reactivities trigger self-righteous convictions that close our mindsets to understanding our differences in perspectives, heuristics, explanatory models, sense-making, and value structures.
Our unspoken differences shape the positive and negative patterns in our interpersonal relationships. These patterns set up dysfunctional inside-outside dynamics that impair our abilities to conduct inclusive processes of learning about equity and diversity.
Avoiding our differences denies us the opportunity to learn from our disagreements. Our differences provide the greatest learning opportunities when we engage in healthy disagreements.
Our emotional reactivities often blind us to important differences in how we think and what we value. But embracing and exploring those differences, rather than avoiding them, is key to inclusive learning, interpersonal growth, and deep meaningful relationships.
How might we zoom out to view our colossal failures in our leadership, political, religious, academic, and educational systems to:
Develop transformational learning processes to cultivate equity meta-governance needed to do good for all?
Co-create AI-enabled platforms that align exponential organizations and networked ecosystems of transformational learning communities to launch Equity Moonshot?
This calls into question about how we can use AI ethically and act morally.
How might human intelligence, creativity, and innovation:
Co-create synergies with AI to enhance collaborative and transformational learning?
Maximize the upsides and minimize the downsides of AI?
Complex questions call for cultivating the practice of sacred silence to develop the equanimity of emotional self-regulation and the impartiality of emotional responsiveness needed to solve wicked problems.
2. How might we learn from the practice of sacred silence to address our wicked problems?
This question calls for using the indigenous and ancient wisdom of sacred silence.
Anpetu Waste Win (1889-1971) is known as Ella Delores. She was a Yankton Dakota educator, anthropologist, ethnographer, linguist, and novelist. One of her major contributions was writing on Native American oral history.
In her 1992 book, "Deer Women and Elk Men", she describes her Sioux (Lakota/Dakota) culture. She uses traditional stories to explore moral and social codes about love, marriage, kinship, and male-female roles, along with the consequences of violating these codes.
This quote speaks to the Lakota tradition that honors the wisdom of silence.
We Indians know about silence. We are not afraid of it. In fact, for us, our silence is more powerful than words. Our elders have been trained in the ways of silence, and they passed the knowledge onto us. Observe, listen, and then act, they told us, that was the way to live.
With you, it’s just the opposite. You learn by talking. At school, you reward children who talk the most. At parties, you try to talk at the same time. At your work, you have constant meetings where everyone interrupts everyone else, and everyone else talks five, 10 or 100 times. And you call that solving a problem.
If you’re in a room and the silence, you get nervous. You have to fill the room with noise. So, you talk compulsively, even before you know what you want to say. White people love to argue. They don’t let the other person finish a sentence. They always interrupt. to us, Indians, that looks like bad manners, or even stupidity.
If you start talking, I will not interrupt you. I will listen. I may stop listening if I don’t like what you’re saying, but I will not interrupt you. When you finish speaking, I will form an opinion about what you’ve said, but I will not tell you that I disagree unless it is important. Otherwise, I will just keep quiet and walk away.
You should’ve told me everything I need to know. There is nothing more to say. But that’s not important for the majority of white people. People should consider the words as seeds. They should show them, and then let them grow in silence.
Our elders taught that the Earth always speaks to us. But we shouldn’t be silent to hear it. There are many voices beside our own. Many.
Silence is the language of God, all else is a poor translation
– Rumi.
3. How might we discern the differences between talking and speaking?
Ego-centric talkers share their knowledge, understanding, and expertise. They provide explanations, without exploring what others already know, seek to know and understand, or seek to be understood. This is (wo)mansplaining.
Self-centered talkers control the flow and directions of the conversations based more on their needs to explain and teach, rather than the emergent needs of the group learning. Such conversations are more based on a series of connected and disjointed monologues. In contrast, we can set up dynamic emergent improvisational spaces of free-flowing dialogues to understand others and to serve the good of all.
Ego-shadow needs for power, control, position, fame, authority, and influence shape the monologues of these talkers. They direct the flow of conversations oblivious to how other voices are silenced, or what could have been said and learned. They are unaware of how they limit learning, and more importantly, overlook missed opportunities for deep transformational learning.
How might we make better sense of our missed micro-insights from yesterday’s experiences to make better sense of today and develop the anti-fragility and resilience skills for adapting to, and shaping our future?
These talkers stay on message about their worldview and repeat the same tropes of their tribe to delineate their inside-out dynamics of inclusion and exclusion.
How might we overcome the dysfunctional dynamics of group loyalties and insularities that marginalize questioners who challenge the limitations of worldviews, mindsets, heuristic frameworks, metaphors, tropes, and memes in solving wicked problems?
Tribes claiming open-mindedness to critical thinking overlook the blind spots of their ethical discrepancies and moral hypocrisies. This is 1984 double speak: talking out of both sides of their mouths.
How might we use sacred silence to:
Move beyond talking constrained by the closed-mindedness of our ego-shadows to speaking emancipated by the open-mindedness of transcendent equanimity?
Co-create the wisdom of equity meta-governance to transform our mindsets and re-design our dysfunctional systems?
Expand beyond the siloed insularity of tribalism to collaborative glocal learning needed to solve our self-inflicted wicked problems?
Sacred silence enables us to experience our non-rational spiritual presence that is unexplained by scientific rationality. Deep listening involves connecting to our transcendent Self in relationship to others and nature. These processes enhance awareness of our ego shadows and dark sides.
The art of sacred silence, deep listening, and contemplation enables the practice of ethical sense-making to cultivate virtues and to act with moral integrity.
Intentional silence evokes mindful emergence and improvisation for co-creativity, collaboration, and transformational learning. This involves talking less and deliberatively speaking more ethically, meaningfully, and purposefully.
Political chaos-makers, marketing distraction-makers, and superficial cult leaders talk too much and speak too little. Self-centered charlatans leave little or no room for engaging in sacred silence. They rob us of our opportunities to become open-minded, truth-seeking, virtuous, freethinkers, collaborating with kindred spirits for the great good of all.
Listening and speaking practitioners of sacred silence take time to pause, think slowly, and consider their words before speaking: the mindful communications of genuine authenticity.
Sacred silence is the psychological space of calmness, kindness, respect, and civility: genuinely listening before and after speaking. Such silence catalyzes reflection-on-action and increases awareness about the limitations of reflection-in-action.
This reflective process involves mindful self-awareness, the silent voice of present attention, and the deep spirit of inquiry and improvisation. Silence allows emergent ways of articulating original thoughts, in spoken and written words.
The integrity practices of sacred silence enable the impartiality of truth-seeking, the equanimity of trust-building, self-compassion, and atonement. We learn about how the transcendence of our "I" Self illuminates our ego-shadow blind spots of our "i" self. In collaboration with kindred spirits, we learn how to get out of our ego ways to engage in the disorientating dilemmas of transformational learning.
These practices co-create unhurried generative-strategic dialogues without interruptions. This collaborative process redresses our meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics needed to solve the poly-crisis of our wicked problems.
How might we engage in lifelong intergenerational learning journeys together, guided by indigenous, ancient, and modern wisdom, to:
Liberate ourselves from the "i" constraints of our ego shadows to the emancipating "I" Self of transcendence and equanimity ?
Overcome the ignorance of our biases, assumptions, perspectives, beliefs, and worldviews to understand others and situations more deeply?
Enable neocortical brains to provide ethical guidance over the dysfunctions of our limbic-amygdala-reptilian brains?
Without mindful self-awareness, our ignorance impairs our capabilities and capacities to develop community virtues, such as equality and equity, needed for solving our wicked problems.
Mindfulness emancipates our virtues to reign over our ego shadows and dark sides. Our virtues put ethical guardrails on individual values, such as liberty and freedom, maximizing their upsides, and minimizing their downsides.
This calls for using the practices of heterodox ethics, moral and cultural humility, and epistemic equity and justice to continue our transformational learning journeys. Use AI tools to look up the meaning of these key concepts to address this question.
How might we use the virtue of equity to navigate through the dialectic world of multi-polarities?
4. How might we pay equity forward to create virtuous chain reactions?
Equity is the humanitarian virtue: co-elevate the fairness of endless mutual reciprocities of give-gift-and-take, humility, tolerance, kindness, civility, and decency. These virtuous reciprocities inspire our ethical aspirations and moral actions to serve our families, communities, and the greater good.
Equity is about giving each of us, according to our individual needs, fair opportunities to strive and thrive to our highest potential of healthy well-being.
Equity is about ensuring that we develop a diverse abundance of human capabilities and capacities to solve our wicked problems.
Equity meta-governance is our Ultimate Meta-process for Humanity (UMH): redress the systemic power abuse dynamics of our meta-crisis. This calls for developing power-sharing and empowerment processes using a guiding constellation of virtues to co-create fair rules, fair plays, fair games, fair opportunities, and fair rewards for the benefit of all on a healthy planet. These transformational learning processes involve discerning the ethical distinctions among moral-amoral-immoral uses and abuses of power needed to negotiate a shared meaning about equity.
Equity Moonshot is our Ultimate Meta-Purpose (UMP): enable exponential organizations, communities, and networks to collaborate, co-design, and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future to benefit all people on a healthy planet.
How might we trigger ethical chain reactions to generate moral fusion energy to:
Redress our meta-crisis, solve poly-crisis, and mitigate and adapt to our poly-collapse?
Cultivate equity meta-governance and launch Equity Moonshot?

5. How might we explore what we do not yet understand about ontology?
Take your time for slow thinking to seek and contemplate complex questions. Place the known in its rightful place under the bed of curiosity
Let complex questions sink in deep. They have a poetic quality to evoke deep learning about unleashing our curiosity, imagination, and innovation skills to address the complexities of solving our wicked problems.
How might we:
Discover that what we thought was known is lacking, wrong or harmful?
Emancipate ourselves from the attachments to convictions and liberate ourselves from the prisons of our words?
Experience the distinctions between our “i-self” being and the “I-Self” Being?
Revel in your “unknown of your being” and revere “the Unknown of Being”.
How might we:
Appreciate the spiritual void and the awe of divine Love and Being?
Co-evolve our understandings about the constrained “i-self” convictions of our ego-shadows?
Cultivate the Universal “I-Self'“ of transcendent equanimity to see in the darkness?
Our ontological inquiries enable us to gain deep insights into our grand mystery. Let's all enjoy and embark on magical-mystical journeys together, guided by sacred wisdom.
How might we venture into the un-chartable, mapless, mystical land to:
Unravel the complexities of uncertainty, courageous inquiry, bold vulnerability, and the ethical cultivation of virtues to move beyond the moral ambiguities of our destructive conflicting value systems?
Navigate beyond our spiritual hollowness, the ethics of hubris, and the moral closed-mindedness of our ego-shadows to see the unlimited abundance of light?
Flourish in our shore-less infinite blue ocean of bold moral, cultural, intellectual, and emotional humility?
Explore the unfolding mystery of wonderment, exploration, and discovery. Learn to develop new lines of inquiry by questioning questions to explore their deep meanings and diverse implications.
Enjoy the delights of musing over complex questions. Empower yourself, in communion and in generative dialogues with kindred spirits, to co-create new perspectives, insights, and breakthrough understandings about the complexities of overcoming the naivety of our oversimplified lives.
How might we break through our indoctrinating co-dependencies on cult leaders, manipulative influencers, and media edutainer who emotionally manipulate our attentions to serve their narcissistic needs for power, fame, status, celebrity, and wealth?
These negative influences collude in atrophying free-thinking and inquiry skills in asking complex questions that challenge the status quo.
How might we develop, as deep thinkers, in asking complex questions that open our closed mindsets?
Complexity questions set up disorientating dilemmas that challenge the indoctrinating constraints of our mindsets about the complex relationships between equity and equality to freedom and liberty.
How might we:
Cultivate the virtuous norms of equity and equality to enable the values of liberty and moral freedoms to flourish?
Liberate ourselves from living an ADD, atomized marketing world of manipulative messaging, the constant loud noises of simplified content, shiny objects, and superficial edutainment enabled by social and mass media to indoctrinate reductionist closed mindsets incapable of solving our wicked problems?
Emancipate the unborn sovereignty of inquiry using sacred silence to impregnate the unanswered questions and missed opportunities of learning from yesterday to inspire and co-create complex questions to manage our vulnerabilities of living in a complex, multi-polar world?
6. How might we understand the meta-crisis from the perspectives of our dysfunctional competing value systems?
Our meta-crisis of our competing value systems drives our systemic power abuse dynamics: how to extract, exploit, and take advantage of human and natural resources. These dysfunctional power dynamics set up our poly-crisis: the complex entanglements of our self-inflicted wicked problems in the 21st century.
The modified Einstein quote (below) encapsulates our epic challenges of transforming our mindsets and re-designing our dysfunctional systems to serve the greater good.
“We cannot ethically solve our wicked problems with reductionist, linear thinking of our conflicting value systems that created them."
This ethical revolution calls for learning how to manage the internal battle of our neo-cortical, limbic-amygdala, and reptilian brains.
Our limbic-amygdala brains of political identity compete for freedom and liberty from the past traumas of oppression, persecution, and tyranny.
The elephant's heart rules its head.
The tail wags the dog.
Without the ethical guidance of the neo-cortical brain, the vengeful, competitive drive for supremacy activates the reptilian brain to tyrannize with autocratic biases, isms, prejudices, inequities, and discriminations (BIPID). The oppressed victims of persecution risk regressing to persecuting oppressors acting with brute savagery.
Alligators eat their young.
In these states of regressions, we cannot unravel the unethical downward spirals into immoral abysses: a living hell on earth. This emotional regression epitomizes our educational, religious, and spiritual failings in enabling us to understand and manage our malfunctioning brains.
Values are about competing priorities.
Freedom is an individual value, not a virtue.
Moral, amoral, and immoral values include the good, the bad, and the ugly. Responsible and irresponsible freedoms exist along a continuum between highly responsible and highly irresponsible. We lack ethical literacy skills in making competent discernments about their moral-amoral-immoral distinctions.
The value of immoral free speech trumps the virtue of equity.
How might we move beyond the extreme libertarian fundamentalisms of "unregulated" immoral free speech to the moral transparent accountability of responsible free speech to the ethics of virtues?
Virtues, such as equity and equality, are about doing good.
How might we emancipate ourselves from the cult indoctrinations of values to the ethical literacy, competence, and language of virtues?
This transformation calls for virtues to become our first language with values becoming our second language.
How might we shift from the cults of marketing messages, value systems, and unique selling propositions to empowering people to embark on their ethical challenge of developing the virtues to take on noble causes and moral quests?
7. How might the liberty of equity become freedom for all?
Without equity, there is no true freedom from the tyranny of BIPID and systemic power abuse dynamics.
How might we cultivate the transcendence and equanimity of our neo-cortical brains to:
Overcome how our individual value systems of liberty and freedom have systemic BIPID against the community virtues of equity and equality?
Put ethical guard rails on our limbic-amygdala-reptilian brains and stop the conflicting value systems of our identity politics from running amok with dysfunctional polarizations and toxic divisiveness?
Liberate us from our limbic-amygdala-reptilian brains of individual values that perpetrate and perpetuate the BIPID indoctrinations?
Our educational, political, and religious systems are grossly inadequate in developing the virtues to transform our minds and design functional systems.
How might we, as equity advocates, co-create ecological frameworks of complex questions that empower and mobilize people to:
Mount an ethical learning revolution to serve the greater good?
Self-reflect, co-create generative-strategic dialogues, and engage in collaborative and transformational learning about how to solve our wicked problems?
Gain new ethical insights, breakthroughs in moral understandings, and higher levels of thinking about why we need the virtue of equity meta-governance to guide the practices of regeneration and sustainability?
Learn more about how to think and think how to think, rather than descending the indoctrinating rabbit holes of what to think.
How might we develop the ethical processing skills to manage identity politics and the chaos, noise, and messaging of content indoctrinations?
8. How might we zoom-out-in-out to view our wicked problems from an interconnected context?
The imperialism of neoliberalism, the amoral-immoral forces of corporatocracy, and techno-feudalism drive our meta-crisis.
Our ethos of linear unlimited economic growth drives the competitiveness of extractive exploitation that violates the virtues of regeneration and sustainability. These transactional practices perpetrate and perpetuate our interconnected wicked problems
Demise of political systems
Unethical governance, inept stewardship, incompetent leadership
Ethical illiteracy, moral incompetence, and deficiencies in developing virtues
Corrupt crony democracies, political corruption, and institutional distrust
Lack of moral humility to ensure transparent accountability in serving the people
Asocial Political Leadership Disorders: pathological megalomania, malignant narcissism, incessant sociopathy, and autocratic authoritarianism
Demise of economic systems
Neoliberalism, unlimited growth, hyper-consumerism of finite resources
Escalating inequities across the economic, social, and educational domains
The scourge of poverty enslavement
The transactional impoverishment of humanity
The colossal loss of abundant human potential
Demise of cultural cohesion
Neo-terrorism: the propaganda war of words with a sociopathic disregard for the integrity of truth-seeking and transparent accountability
Social and mass media creating plagues of loneliness and mental distress
Truth decay and fake news of the disinformation era
Dysfunctional polarizations and toxic divisiveness of warring tribes
Atomizations of societies, communities, and neighborhoods
Demise of planetary health
Self-destructive paths of living beyond planetary boundaries
Cascades of negative impacts arising from global warming and climate change
Degeneration of our environments with polluted air, water, and soil
Precipitous declines in biodiversity
And much more …
Our wicked problems are inseparable. A reductionist monocular view on one issue without understanding the complexities of our meta-crisis will never resolve our poly-crisis.
We are swimming upstream against torrents of our meta-crisis and BIPID issues. These dysfunctional dynamics subvert and sabotage our political, economic, cultural, and planetary systems.
Our corrupt crony democracies lack the ethical backbone to overcome systemic discrimination against equity.
These destructive forces create downstream toxic waves of negative impacts. They are building tsunami momentum for a dystopian future unless we take corrective action.
Our original sin is reductionism and failing to zoom out to see the big picture.
How might we zoom-out-in-out-in across meta, macro, meso, micro, and nano levels to enhance our ecological understandings about how uncertainty, vulnerability, ambiguity, complexity, interdependence, interconnectedness, non-linear causality, and dynamic emergence inter-relate to one another?
9. How might we transform how we learn about wicked problems?
Reductionist educational methods prevent us from learning how to respond to complex questions. These methods rely on passive learning, marketing messages, simple clear content, and mindset indoctrination that prevent the development of complexity skills needed to work on wicked problems.
These shortcomings call for developing the capabilities to address the dynamic causes of our wicked problems.
How might we activate collaborative learners to engage in the transformation process of responding to complex questions?
Complex questions are dense and compound. They stretch our imaginations to inquire beyond the limits of comprehension to enable transformational learning. These questions help us learn how to think, and to think about how we think, and why (meta-cognition).
How might we, as equity educators, mentor and muses, open, inspire, and align mindsets to:
Appreciate the perplexities of understanding complexity?
Wonder in awe about how to compose complex questions for engaging in the sense-making processes that explore the deep moral meanings of ethical purposes?
Transform our dysfunctional educational systems of passive content learning and indoctrination into high-functioning platforms and processes that enable lifelong intergenerational learning, inquiry, and emancipation from indoctrinations?
Complex questions help to emancipate us from the perils of reductionist linear thinking.
How might we, as equity leaders, use complex questions to enable people to become open-minded, truth-seeking, virtuous free thinkers working in communion with kindred spirits to unravel our meta-crisis and solve our poly-crisis?
These questions call for strategies to mass mobilize and engage people in responding to complex questions.
How might we, as thought leaders, do the meta-thinking and deep learning about how to build scalable story movements to:
Redress BIPID issues?
Cultivate equity meta-governance?
Launch Equity Moonshot?
We need to activate learners on how to explore, respond to, and make sense of complex questions.
10. How might we evolve our thinking of how to solve wicked problems?
Fast and slow thinking (Kahneman) influence three domains of being that affect how we talk and speak.
Talking is about superficial opinions.
Sacred silence enables speaking with deep knowledge and wisdom.
The first domain triggers our minds to act quickly with fast thinking, intuition, perceptions, and emotional reactions. Fast thinking and reflections-in-action drive talking with superficial opinions.
In its functional forms, we automatically solve complicated problems with minimal input from our neocortical brains. In its most dysfunctional forms, we regress to the immoral mindset of our reptilian brain to make our problems worse.
The dark side of “might is right” is brute savagery.
Alligators eat their young.
The second domain slows our minds down to engage in rational, deliberative, and analytical thinking to correct errors and biases made by the first domain. Slow thinking and reflections-on-action drive knowledgeable speaking.
In its functional form, we solve complicated problems with additional input from our neocortical brains. In the dysfunctional forms, we are stuck in our amygdala-limbic brains, lacking awareness about our BIPID blind spots. The closed-mindedness of our ego shadows disables the equanimity of ethical awareness and discernment about BIPID issues and system power abuse dynamics.
This calls for developing ethical literacy and competency skills to articulate our moral hypocrisies and discrepancies.
How might we understand the distinctions between our dysfunctional competing systems of individual values that create terrorism and wars on the one hand, and our collaborative systems of community virtues for co-creating harmony and peace on the other hand?
The dysfunctional aspects of the first and second domains put us at risk of becoming victims to the tyranny of our reptilian-amygdala-limbic brains. The third domain enables us to redress the dysfunctional downsides of the first and second domains.
The third domain engages our minds with integrated slow thinking, sacred silence, deep listening, and self-awareness without triggering emotional reflex reactions, reflection-on-actions, transcendent equanimity, and emergent intuition. These practices enable us to become more aware of how to redress our BIPID blind spots and system power abuse dynamics and to speak with wisdom.
How might we use the third domain to:
Emancipate ourselves from the dysfunctional downsides of the first and second domains?
Develop the equanimity and sovereignty of transcendent beings to cultivate equity meta-governance?
These practices are essential for co-creating the generative-strategic dialogues to evoke imaginative inquiry, creativity, improvisation, innovation, and entrepreneurship to solve our wicked problems.
11. How might we embark on ethical transformational learning journeys together?
Our overwhelming wicked problem generates despair, hopelessness, and mental distress. These problems make us feel so insignificant and incapable of making a difference.
How might we align together, as specks of the universe, to build chain reactions that generate the fusion energy to:
Co-create network power for collaborative and transformational learning?
Usurp the power structures that prevent and resist change?
Connect a constellation of virtuous specks to generate the systemic network power that lies between us to do good?
As suggested above, start a chain reaction of comments/article/blogs/newsletter to create fusion energy for transformational change.
How might we open our mindsets, practice sacred silence, and co-create generative-strategic dialogues to:
Cultivate equity meta-governance, moral stewardship, and distributive leadership empowerment networks to launch Equity Moonshot?
Set up wisdom circles, build entrepreneurial hubs, and grow inter-connected ecosystems of open innovation to develop transformational learning communities of practice needed to solve wicked problems?
Thanks for this post. Two things that will help me listen: (1) not interrupting, but also choosing not to listen at times; (2) the notion of planting ideas, thoughts, as seeds; and then not expecting immediate feedback or response, from others and also from me — thinking needs time.
