Blob Theory
“Life is difficult”
says M. Scott Peck in his marvellous book, ‘The Road Less Travelled’.
Everyone has a feel-osophy of how life is, and how to negotiate it.
Some have a better grasp of reality than others.
Blobs have a basic idea which enables them to be successful in almost every context, with every people group, in every age. They cross so many boundaries because they speak the universal languages of emotion and body gestures. From the age of infancy we become fluent in these ways of communication before we even talk or read. This knowledge enables us to understand others and ourselves.
Blobs are beautiful humans who are full of imperfections.
They display a whole range of qualities that we might admire or despise.
They interact with all aspects of what it is to be fully human.
The final ideas are based on the thoughts of Pip Wilson. The closer we get to someone, the higher our level of communication becomes.
Level one is cliché – what we say when we pass people by each day.
Level two is fact. We might tell people that it is cold. We let others know that we have passed an exam. It is informative, but very safe, because we do not disclose our inner thoughts.
Level three – opinions begins to do this. We share our ideas about subjects. It sometimes leads us into conflict. It is the beginning of sharing who we are.
Level four is the start of telling others who we really are. It is the realm of emotions. Here we uncover how we feel about changes to our life, our job and our beliefs.
Level five is complete openness. It is a level rarely achieved.
The Blob Tree can be used at all the levels and especially level four and five.
