Mentors & Teachers

The Holomovement concept came to me through the impetus of a professor in college, and was actually sociology Professor Dr. Jeffrey Haden. He explained to our class that there were enormous challenges facing the world, this was way back in the 1970s. He showed that everything, as time, we go back to the year zero and we graph it slowly, all of these quantities grow slowly, and then as we hit the 20th century, the curve goes straight upwards. A very clear message there, that we're literally running out of time, and he proposed to the class that, as sociology students, we needed to find a solution. What could we, as individuals, do or contribute in our life to help resolve this meta-crisis, and that was our assignment. So that's what really got me thinking about this, and I described, at the time, in my paper for that course, that it had to be some kind of wheel, and that all the spokes of the wheel were different contributors, and my work should be to create a solid hub to connect the spokes of the wheel. Then, in 1984, another mentor of mine, Dr. David Tieman, suggested that I read a series of books to help develop this idea.
