The revolutionary force in this century is the awakening of a deep generative human capacity – the I-in-now.*
Otto Scharmer

But what I was trying to say is that we may ultimately find that, to our surprise, our creative endeavours are not the defining element of our lives. They are perhaps a means to an end. That’s what I’m trying to find out.**
Nick Cave

The other capacities are
I-in-me – when I am at the centre of my own world and views,
I-in-you – when I step out of my story and step into your story in order to serve,
I-in-us – when we serve each other, and the greater world:
If you have come here to help me,
you are wasting your time.
But if you have come because your liberation
is bound up with mine,
then let us work together.^

I-in-now – together we serve what is wanting to emerge,
The future that is wanting to come into being;
In such a place as this,
None of us are the final product,
We are all becoming,
And in the end,
This “I” may be our most beautiful achievement.
