Let’s start with space, since the elephant joke example plays with the dimensions of space and how we project and perceive them. If science teaches us diligent vigilance for distortion and bias, wouldn’t it make sense that the lens of the human eye automatically exaggerates what appears close to us and diminishes what is farther away? Most galaxies – which should seem astronomically huge – seem far away if we can even see them at all, even with strong telescopes.  Objects that are in front of our noses appear gigantic to us, yet they become increasingly insignificant to someone in another room, neighborhood, town, province, country, planet or galaxy. Lens distortion is the basis for countless optical illusions. When you add in what modern physics suggests about other dimensions, it becomes obvious that we’re getting only the tiniest bit of data about the physical world by design from any eye. The information these lenses offer is – at best –distorted, abridged, filtered, and hopelessly provincial, biased and limited. In school I learned to approximate terms in an equation that are infinitesimally small (compared with terms larger by orders of magnitude) as zero in many cases. Wouldn’t that mean that anything we perceive on the human scale (or even galactic scale, since galaxies seem tiny across the universe) can safely be discarded in the ‘big equation’? Our senses of hearing, taste, touch and smell also wildly favor inputs that are close to us, giving them unfair advantage over a universe of other sensations. So why do we trust our senses to give us a complete story?

How about time’s distortions? For this dimension, we turn even more to how our mind interprets what we call reality. We’ve learned to picture time – as we know it – on a horizontal axis, with the past stretching infinitely far from the midpoint of now back to antiquity on our left and the future doing a similar stretch infinitely far toward uncertainty on our right. Yet the only moment we ever really have is now. Even when we seem to experience the past or future, we achieve that by dragging our concept of what might have been or what might become into the endless now. We ‘spend’ an enormous amount of our temporal budget on imagined moments that don’t actually exist now. Seen from another angle, what if we could somehow mentally encompass eternity, using our concept of time. Wouldn’t we be giving an outrageously disproportionate amount of emphasis to our current issues, concerns and cares? Our entire lives as physical entities wouldn’t even register as blips on the radar of forever. From the standpoint of eternity, don’t we make elephants out of nothing when we’re obsessed and stressed with what seems important now?

If we are to hold true to the scientific ideal and seek to reduce bias and distortion, shouldn’t we approximate anything delivered for our consideration by space or time as basically nothing (at least to a first approximation)? That doesn’t mean that we should ignore the responsibilities or our lives or become aloof and miss out on the fun this ‘house of mirrors’ (and lenses) world offers us. We can actually be more kind to ourselves and others and enjoy a lot more humor by not taking this world of distortion too seriously. If the veil of space and time seems like a thick and burdensome cloak from our myopic vantage point, why not amuse ourselves by seeing these dimensions as flimsy veils and ultimately emperors clothes where each moment truly is new.

My buddy Dave just sent me a link to another of his superb visual gems; "Attack of the Space Pirates" is the name of this one. Dave has shared his amazing art and inspirations with me since about 1970. Here's another one that has been happily on the wall for years entitled "Going Home" and another example of his exquisite work.

In the first session, I was doing a week of group exercises to look at areas within the institution that were volunteered (from among the ranks) that could benefit from simplification and optimization. Interestingly, it was with fairly unanimous consent that the promotion/review process was offered as a case study. After using a copious number of colored sticky notes with process steps written on each one, and plastering them on flip chart papers taped to the walls of a high tech classroom, we had successfully defined a sequence of handoffs that the tree-ware (non-electronic) review paperwork had to go through to reach completion for each annual (or was it quarterly?) review. I think there were 47 separate steps; give or take, maybe it was only 3 dozen, but I know there were a lot! Everyone enthusiastically volunteered their expertise in outlining the details of the steps and confirmed the sequence, with equal participation from the room full of participants, spanning ranks from privates to lieutenant colonels. I even learned that a couple of the steps in the lengthy review process involved shipping (via military transportation, of course) the review paperwork half-way across the country and back again, which added several days to the already lengthy process. The funny (to me) thing is that when I asked – objectively as an outside consultant – where we might consider optimizing the process to save not only time, but probably countless taxpayer dollars, the room fell silent, almost as if I had asked who wanted to volunteer for a firing squad. This was a tremendous lesson for me in how our special interests not only needlessly complicate things, but also how attached we are to the ‘whats-in-it-for-me’ blindness, and how phenomenal our resistance is to genuinely helpful and effective change.

Another session involved cultural assessments with written forms followed by less formal verbal interactions involving what was working and what wasn’t, in order to find the ‘elephants in the room’ in terms of needed improvements. The wisdom of the consulting company I was working for was evident here, since each session was carefully selected to have all participants in the room chosen across multiple disciplines and specialties, but from among a single rank to minimize the fear of speaking out about issues of concern. After the usual complaints and issues emerged (mostly logistical and a few like not enough grass seed for the lawns at base housing) the real heartfelt comments began to emerge. Prior to this experience, I had thought of myself as being supportive of the citizens in our military service while not often agreeing with the specific reasons for their assigned engagements. Then came the testimonials about fellow soldiers who had come back in body bags, or those whose spouses and families had finally given up and moved on after 6, 12 and 18 month deployments overseas. It was then I allowed myself to realize that I was no different from any of the people in the room where these assessments were taking place; we all share the same human fears and longings in a crazy world, and we all share the same Spirit that offers compassion, courage and sanity to navigate through the insanity.
