Hi
I am interested in the content of your site. I am wondering if you have heard of Nonviolent Communication – a language of love? it is also called Compassionate Communication. It is based on communication with the intention to connect. The originator of the work is Marshall B. Rosenberg and i just wanted to let you know if it in case it is of interest to you. Another place to find more info on this is if you google Centre for Nonviolent Communication.

I really enjoyed your explanation! Like another commenter above, I have never understood the control paradigm, and naturally operate under a connection paradigm, and have always felt the world should be run this way. .-= Lynn Fang´s last blog ..A Community of Urban Farmers and The Gratitude Circle =-.

William Powers, a physicist, developed the theory of Perceptual Control Theory using physics. It very much dispels the myth that we can control, manage or have power over anyone. Those who have worked with him to develop this theory into everyday practice which can be taught and used to improve people’s lives, as well as many other arenas, will tell you that to begin to incorporate these ideas into your everyday practice the first thing you must do is monitor your vocabulary for words that are associated with managing or controlling others behavior. There is too much to this theory to explain it here, but it seems relevant to this topic and could be utilized to further the ideas.
