In modern management practices there is a term
and process called Catchball
which
originated from a planning process known as Hoshin Kanari. Catchball is
defined as:
“a communication process in which parties
engage in a series of
information exchanges about the means for
achieving a particular objective. The
purpose
for the exchange is to build consensus around the best approach for
achieving an objective. Catchball is based on
the belief that the best approach
will
evolve from the back and forth exchange of information between the
person
who is
responsible for achieving the objective and the persons who will be most
influential in achieving it. The secondary
benefit from using catchball is a
higher
degree of commitment to achieve the objective.”
anonymous on 02 Feb 19When we allow the Creator/the Pure Source/ the Divine to transform us as only It can, we "know" in a way that is beyond words, books, and self-improvement programs. That does not mean that the latter have no value. The years we have spent sincerely investigating paths to transformation or enlightenment, the years we have spent reading so many spiritual books, the times we have spent diligently practicing this method or that gave us much information. But they didn't give us the knowledge that actually transforms or enlightens the spirit. All that effort, the accumulation of all that information prepared the groundwork for the gift of Knowledge. We were letting the Creator know that we craved union, that we were wholehearted in our search for direct connection to the Pure Source, to the Divine.
