Tree and Funda, I love this thread. In a dictionay I red about two different philosophical schools, one like Jung based on teleology, the other one, I think called Intentionology (?) based on the belief, that everything and everybody lives out of the intention (or Purpose?) of his/her life.
This is what I believe: we are living to discover our intention, and all intentions are interlinked, are part of the intention of the world.

November 2005 10:02 An: [email protected] Betreff: Re: Process Oriented Psychology/teleology "I do believe the course of humanity is striving towards a meaningful, purposeful goal and that living in OS is a collective striving towards such a goal. The only goal." Tree, This is wonderful.I would like to add just one more thing; i think there is some kind of meaning in our current way of living, so maybe if we can change the way we look at life, we don't need to strive towards a meaning, we all need to discover the meaning that already exists and live with that.
