The Paradox of Consciousness​

The Art & Science of Applied Consciousness

The process begins with the formulation of a hypothesis, which is then validated through embodiment practice.

In alignment with the foundational principle of action research, we recognize that in any consciousness experiment, we are both the subject and the observer.

This dual role creates a paradox, often referred to as the “hard problem” of consciousness research, a term coined by philosopher David Chalmers (New York University, 1995). Chalmers argued that consciousness cannot be observed from an external perspective; rather, we are always psychoactive, influencing both our own awareness and the people around us.

Organizing Aliveness

Nourishing the framework with actively researching new data

Teresa Zimmermann's framework The Core organizes the information we perceive into a grid structure based on two established methods of mapping aliveness:

  1. The developmental nature of scales (such as temperature or speed).
  2. The intuitive, descriptive nature of symbols, which distill complexity into simple icons without losing depth (similar to Christopher Alexander’s Pattern Language).
     

“Following the Snowball Method of Grounded Theory, I’m constantly gathering variation in symptoms, story lines and more, gaining evermore depth and nuance.”

Success through Research

Ongoing integration of the latest findings of consciousness development and active research, in constant connection with the global consciousness community.

Integrated processes

Formats and findings are re-integrated into suitable spaces in business, politics and society. This is done in a separate step and with attention to feasibility.

Real solutions

The acute case inspires the search for form and enables the measurability of success. Finding creative ways of solutions of "good form" enables a solid value creation cycle.
