Hi, I'm Jonathan Reams from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. I'm going to talk to you a little bit today about knowing yourself in order to transform the world. So there's something called perennial wisdom. And this has been with us since Ancient Greece, and earlier. And one of the core principles there is to know yourself. And today, like in every age, what we find is that we have problems that we face, and these problems that we face require us to grow in some way, to go beyond what we know now, to create some new solution to solve these problems. Now, typically we'll look outside ourselves to solve these problems, whether it be helping to change other people, helping to change our teams, our relationships, our organizations, social systems. However, the greatest impact that we can have is to change ourselves. So, this is where we need to start, if we want to make any efforts at helping to create a better world. We need to work on our inner world. And so in the way I see this building, is another way of talking about what is a life long process of evolving our internal capacities to solve external problems. And life is constantly presenting us with these kind of situations that offer us the opportunity, not just to fix something out there in the world, but to grow something inside ourselves. Now there is, more recently, in this notion of perennial philosophy, about 125 years of developmental psychology that has been exploring, how do we grow inside as people? And we can say that this growth has mapped out a journey that has different phases in the process, and has many different names and ways of describing these. But they all involve this process of helping us grow in terms of the breadth of knowledge and skills we have, but also the depth and quality of understanding we have. And, most importantly, in the way in which we relate to our knowledge and our skills. We increase the structures inside us for organizing how we make meaning, and how we can act on that meaning to make changes in the world. And so evolving this becomes the most impactful thing we can do. So, if we think about the course title, we can look at the fact that to create, requires us to have an inner capacity to imagine beyond what we already know. So, we have to approach the situations we find in the world with an attitude of humility. A beginner's mind, if you will, saying that, yes, we know some things, but we can always learn more. To innovate, we need to develop creativity is grounded in connecting what we can imagine to what we already know, and this requires us to bring in playfulness, experimentation, and learning from good failures. And finally, to transform, means to constantly be creating new connections that expand the boundaries of our vision, and lead to fundamental changes in these inner structures of how we relate to our world. And that these new structures then enable us to create more of the future that we wish to create.
