Indian interest in HG ideas ​​​​​​​continues to grow

For many years there has been interest in the HG approach in India – earlier this month Ivan Tyrrell and John Bell were invited to attend a CSEER Dialogue meeting hosted in Delhi, India, to join in a discussion with professors supportive of the Human Givens approach.

Entitled Reflection between Past and Future this wide-ranging discussion was organised by the Centre for the Study of Evolution, Enlightenment and Re-Integration (CSEER), which brings people together from various disciplines for conversations and deliberations aimed at carving a constructive way forward for us as a species at this critical and turbulant time.

Agreeing on the importance of rehabilitating a needs-based approach to human affairs, becoming closer to a natural rhythm, and imagining new ways of creating individual and collective meaning and purpose, the discussion was structured to answer the following leading questions:

1. As you view the world today, in each of your perspectives, do you sense an inflection point in history’s curve today? And if so, what does it look like?
2. What are some changes in the way human societies have been organised, as far back as you find appropriate, that you think have most significantly determined where we, as a collective, are today?
3. Do you think there has been a continuous, unchanging thread…a set of tendencies, dispositions, facts of human nature as it were….which has equally determined where we are today?
4. What directions do you sense we may move towards from here?

You can watch the discussion here to hear what Professor Aseem Shrivastava had to say about HG.
