unfolding potential: general #574

Important questions when talking about developing and working with potential, however, are: How do we approach the idea of developing potential, and what kinds of potential are we focusing on? Ultra-capitalists and authoritarians, as extreme examples, are also interested in developing potential. But they focus on potential to maximize profits and power. That is an egocentric approach, not a community, an ecosystems approach. The Taoist approach to unfolding potential is always linked to the question of what kinds of traces we want to create and leave behind from a caring perspective in a continuum. This is why in Taoist bodymind practices, flows, waves, and the environments they create to deal with compressed and stagnant parts of the bodymind are all approached with an ecosystems mindset.
