This book offers a path toward awakening, not only as an individual but also as a collective social awakening. It encourages us to turn our attention back to what modern society often overlooks—the “roots and spirit” of all of us. This awakening leads to a shared consciousness and a collective sense of responsibility to protect and cherish the holistic nature of our world. The focus is not just on people, but also includes all living beings, animals, and the environment around us.
The author, Otto Scharmer, presents the U Process to foster social awareness, urging readers to look deeper than what meets the eye and to access the truth of the spirit. It is an understanding that transcends brain-based processing and requires reflection from the depths of the heart. This process helps break down the walls of ego and fosters empathy toward everyone around us. It allows us to view things from a higher and more refined perspective, one broad enough to see the reality of society, where everything is interdependent in one way or another. It reveals the interconnectedness of systems, whether in small organizations, local communities, or on a global scale that nurtures and sustains us.
Once this holistic awareness is achieved, we can contribute to spreading it in a creative direction. This will lead to continuous change in society, inspiring collective awakening and social transformation. It encourages positive societal change without bias or division, fostering a community filled with shared consciousness and unity of spirit for the future.
