The first Possible World Discovery session of the year brought together fellow explorers from 11 different countries (Australia, Austria, Egypt, Hungary, France, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, Sweden, Thailand, UK ), creating a rich tapestry of global wisdom and shared inquiry. In this space, we didn't just talk about change; we lived through it.
1. Check-in: The "Golden Lessons" from Our Childhood
We began the session by reconnecting with the simple, foundational lessons we were taught as children—the values that serve as a compass for creating a better world.
"Be kind to others"
"Sharing"
"Trusting what I feel is right"
"Be prepared"
"Enjoy the process"
"Not bully, not be bullied"
2. Mirror of Reality: Why We Struggle to Live These Lessons
We started with ideals, but the simulation quickly revealed the disconnect between our intentions and reality. The experience captured the "friction" we encounter in our daily lives when complexity takes over.
The Frustration of Ineffectiveness: One participant captured the feeling of being caught in a loop: "I was just hitting buttons and that was not helping me or my team." It was a powerful reflection of how often we act reflexively in the real world without true reflective time.
A Disconnected World: Despite having shared goals, we found ourselves siloed in our own tasks. Even when a collective dialogue was called for, the momentum of "surviving" our individual projects made it difficult to stop and align—a direct parallel to the fast-paced silos of modern society.
3. The Necessity of a Mindset Shift
Knowing the "right" values is not enough to navigate an unpredictable world; a fundamental shift in mindset is required. In this session, the host intentionally removed all instructions, stating:
"I wanted all the possibilities to be in your hands."
By letting go of the habit of seeking "top-down" instructions or "correct" answers, we were challenged to face the unknown and rediscover our own agency within the chaos.
4. "Kizuki" (Insights) Gathered Through the Simulation
Through this intentional chaos, participants moved beyond designed logic to discover deep, personal insights. This is the core impact of the Possible World experience.
This graph visualises the "Auyumi (あゆみ)" (progression) of our world. Note the dramatic rise in the Social indicator (Yellow) in the latter half—a direct result of our collective mindset shift. It shows that when we stop focusing solely on individual "buttons" and start connecting, the whole system begins to thrive.
The Power of Letting Go: One transformative insight resonated deeply with the group: "It will be fine even if I'm not driving the boat." This realization—that things can progress beautifully even when we surrender the need to personally control every outcome—opened up a new space (Ma) for trust and true co-creation.
Humility and Connection: Accepting that we "cannot do it alone" and realizing that "you're not always the smartest person in the room" transformed our individual limitations into a collective strength, fostering a genuine sense of unity.
5. Small Steps Forward: Our Commitments
The session concluded with "small ripples"—personal declarations to carry this newfound awareness into the real world.
"Do not fear the unknown. Jump and swim."
"Exploring what else is possible with excess."
A commitment to education: "Returning to the classroom to teach children the true meaning of helping, sharing, and working together."
Yes, it was short, and they were small ripples.
We also truly experienced the potential of this online space. I know that some parts of the online experience—such as navigating multiple browsers and Zoom breakout rooms—may not be as intuitive as an in-person environment. In fact, we witnessed moments of genuine struggle. But while technical challenges and internet instability indeed reflect our reality, this environment undeniably revealed vast new possibilities for connection.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who participated. Thank you for bringing your energy and open hearts to this experiment.
Seeing these ripples of transformation start in Darwin and reach across 11 countries fills me with hope. We are all bridge-builders in this 'Possible World'.
I shared my personal Kizuki on the struggles and dilemmas here.
Closing: A Celebration of Incompleteness
This session proved that when we embrace Incompleteness (Yohaku/Ma), we create the space for true innovation and dialogue.
Possible World is more than a simulation; it is a journey that begins when you loosen your grip on the "steering wheel" and open yourself up to the possibilities of the collective. We invite you to step into the chaos and find your own "boat" in the next session.
Every world is up to our mindset and actions. Possible World.
