Unconscious to conscious

We are living in an age of great changes in the social consciousness. The systemic approach to the perception of the world and ourselves is causing dramatic shifts in science, especially in the fields of biology, physics and astronomy. The realisation that all that exists is a fluctuation of energy, that nothing in nature is static and that human development is influenced by the environment that surrounds us will significantly influence our understanding of structures, organisations, relationships and ourselves.

What is intuition?
- Intuition is the ability to transform our unconscious and conscious perception into conscious decisions. This applies at all levels: at the level of the individual, team, organisation and the society as a whole.
- Intuition is an ability, or rather strength of a spiritual nature. It has been known and learnt through self-induced efforts from the earliest times.
- Intuition is the immediate and instinctive perception of the truth: immediate understanding without thinking.

These realisations affirm my belief that our understanding of intuition, its development and manifestation in business and social life in general will significantly drive our environment in the future, just as innovation is driving it today. Moreover, by understanding intuition and its conscious application in the development of our lives we will expand our fields of creation and innovation to an entirely new level.

In search for the answers to "What is intuition and how do we improve and develop it" we will be opening doors to the unconscious. How does the unconscious influence our development, intuition and actions?
"The psychoanalytical process of free association transforms unconscious issues to conscious, which primarily helps us learn to recognise the unconscious dynamics of our relationships. The said process makes our relationships more fluent, which improves our lives and the lives of the people around us," says Urška Battelino. This is her story.

Urška Battelino, born on October 30th 1970, in Ljubljana, is a psychoanalytical psychotherapist managing a private clinic for individuals, couples and groups. She graduated from the Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, completed her specialisation in psychoanalysis with Janko Bohak, MSc and her supervised work experience with Branko Franzl, MSc and Emil Benedik, PhD

What are our conscious and unconscious?
Urška: After Copernicus' discovery that the Earth was round and Darwin's theory of evolution, Freud shook the scientific world with his thesis that the ego was not the master in its own home. We are only aware of a small portion of our mental self, while the rest of the dynamics is caused by the unconscious part, which means that our conscious self is not autonomous and cannot make independent decisions.

What is stored in the unconscious?
Urška: The unconscious stores all emotions, thoughts and memories that have been threatening to our conscious in the past, which is why we have suppressed them. Our resistances and defences guard the supressed issues and prevent them from breaking out from the unconscious back to the conscious. In one of his lectures, Freud compared resistances and defences with disrupting students with whom the professor deals by telling them to leave. He closes the door behind them and does not let them in the classroom, but the disrupting students continue to try to break in.

How do we experience this?
Urška: In analogy with the students who disrupt a lecture, our suppressed thoughts, memories and emotions disrupt our conscious experiences. However, the unconscious is resourceful and unyielding. It seeps through dreams, lapses of the tongue and disease symptoms.

What is the role of these symptoms?
Urška: The symptoms are a resolution of conflict between the unconscious, which is trying to break out, the ego, which is aware of its own limitations, and the superego, which is the internalisation of all our authorities and social rules and restrictions.

The I has a difficult role!
Urška: Yes, it does. The task of the ego is difficult for it serves three masters: itself, the unconscious (id) and the superego.

How does this influence us?
Urška: Everything that happens to us mentally is governed by causality, nothing is coincidental. This means that the unconscious stores all our emotions, thoughts and memories. This requires a lot of mental energy, which is why we often lack energy in everyday life.

Can we manage or connect the unconscious and the conscious?
Urška: We can. Through careful psychoanalysis [ed.: or other similar approaches] we can move unconscious issues to the conscious mind and thus become aware of them. This process is performed through free association and dreams.

Psychoanalysis deals with resistances and defences by moving from resistance to resistance, thereby becoming aware of unconscious issues and releasing a great deal of mental energy.

What influences the process of discovering the unconscious?
Urška: An individual's motivation and readiness for a journey into the inner self and discovery of its unknown parts. Clearly, this is not an easy process and not something that can happen overnight. It takes time, persistence, and obviously courage for the path to knowing oneself also leads to suppressed experiences, which can be unpleasant and can cause us pain.

Why is this so important?
Urška: It is important for it enables us to live as ourselves and to feel ourselves. This process releases a great deal of mental energy, which we can then use for creativity and better relationships, for our success strongly depends on how successful relationships are. An important aspect of this process is the ability to put off others' expectations and become aware of our own desires, let go of the need to please others and the dependency on their opinions; or in other words to learn who we are.

The latter is also extremely important for discovering the creative and innovative potential within oneself. Is it possible to apply the concepts of the conscious and unconscious and of the release of innovative potential to organisations?
Urška: Of course. An organisation is a delicate living organism where a lot of communication takes place at the unconscious level. This causes a lot of conflict and blockages in relationships. Once we understand the dynamics of the unconscious we can identify it within families, organisations or friendships. Fluency of communication is of key importance for it helps us in our relationships with ourselves and others.

Intuition is a comprehensive response and decision making system.
The search for new suitable approaches, methods and tools for shedding our obsolete beliefs, patterns, attitudes and perception blocking the path between our conscious and our unconscious will be an important challenge for each and every one of us. The less blockages, fears and limitations we have the more complete our lives will be and our actions closer to our essence. Our intuition will grow stronger. Everyone has a role in this world. The truer we are to our essence the closer we come to our mission. Intuition is an important ally in this endeavour. (VB)

Does intuition also exist at the level of the collective consciousness?
Urška: In fairy tales intuition often appears in the form of a dog while in myths, dogs are guardians of the underworld, i.e. the unconscious. The dog leads us through the underworld and if we follow it we find what we are looking for. Intuition can also appear in the form of a snake, which has inhabited the earth since time immemorial and symbolises healing, but it can also poison or suffocate us. Intuition is similar to the snake: if we don't hear, feel and recognise it, it destroys us. If we do, it has a healing effect. I used the example of fairy tales for they originate from our collective unconscious. They are as old as the world and confirm that intuition also exists at the level of the collective consciousness.

Thank you, dear Urška. "If we want to know the truth, we must first seek it in ourselves." "If we want to love others, we must love ourselves." "If we want to cooperate with others successfully, we must know ourselves well." We could continue listing similar truths endlessly. One thing is common to them all: they invite us to take a deep and sincere look inside ourselves and to see, feel and know ourselves. Thus, we can touch our source and our essence. We can see how different we are and sense our abilities. Discovery of the unknown and uncovering of blockages, which transform the unconscious to the conscious, will be an important step in the development of individuals, organisations and the society. I invite you on this exciting journey. I hope this article will encourage you to discover your own methods and a path to yourself, which will simultaneously pave a path to others and the whole.

Innovation infrastructure (I2) – a model for mass innovation

We position mass innovation as one of the primary activating factors for sustainable strategies development. The experiences drawn from innovation ecosystems, are teaching us that the more prosperous environments are those, in which participants are evolving together, side by side, symbiotically: with passion, empowered by a progressive attitude, yet with co-operation and co-creation. It seems that this is a good way to attain sustainable results on a level of personal balance and economical success.

Photo: The basic I2 model

In different parts of the World different models, that support such a progress, have been developed. However, some common denominators can be recognized in all of them:
- They contain some locally based cultural and social characteristics.
- They contain characteristics of organizational evolution (based on the drivers of value creation) and organizational relationships.
- They are constantly re-adjusting to the varying conditions in which they are implemented/used.
- They are based on an holistic/system approach.

The model for innovation infrastructure (I2) contains all the characteristics described above. Its structure is dynamic and sensitive and highly effective because:
1. There is no predefined sequence, or agenda for the implementation of each step in the model. The path is unique to each organization and it is a function of a collective consciousness in the organization, i.e., the level of the absorption competences.
2. The content of the I2 blocks can be adjusted to the dynamics of the environment where implemented, (taking into account the characteristic of business evolution, level of hierarchy, the dynamics of cooperation with external participants,) the type of relationship with markets, the idea generating practice; the book: “Ritmi poslovne evolucije”)

The model of innovation Infastructure (I2) for mass innovation has been selected among the top 55 Slovenian innovations for the year 2011, based on the public call by JAPTI (Public Agency of slovenia for Enterprenership and foreign investment). The author of the model is Violeta Bulc. Yet, if you ask her, she has just successfully connected many threads of the slovenian business and social ecosystems, and addresses a sincere need of organizations. She hopes that the solution will help many, in the value creation process. »Thank you very much to our customers, who make it possible to manifest the I2 in practice (BTC, PETROL, Elektro Maribor, LEK), thank you to InCo movement, which has been challanging me with its development, results, opportunities, thank you to my collegues who co-created the moment and space where we can see more and deeper in the name of an individual, organization, society and a planet, a a whole«, says Violeta.

The breakthrough of the model is latent within the horizontal structure, and the system approach to mass innovation. In addition, to establish mass innovation, an organization needs to establish credibility of the system, transparency of the results and intermediate steps, responsiveness of the people in charge, as well as the model itself.

Those that engage in the system (the idea generators) need to feel safe, respected and trustworthy/credible. This is achieved in the model with equal opportunity rights for all employees, regardless of formal status, and with a strong innovation communication strategy that follows every step of the innovation process.

Innovation Infrastructure (I2):
The need: For an approach that can respond to the current challanges in a dynamic, timely and sustainable manner throughout the organization/community/state.
The value that it creates: Aim orientated innovation propositions on all levels of organization/community/state and within all organizational structures, that create value (economical or socialy responsible one).
Elements: 7 steps, 7 enablers, 15 blocks, 4 products, 3 (business) benefits

A special challenge for successful implementation of the I2, is the absorption level (sensitivity to external information, successful internal follow-up implementation, and the level of re-adjustments) on all strata of the company, including the management. Therefore we recommend that the implementation of I2 be incremental, using participation techniques at all phases, e.g., a critical mass of people be included in the definition and implementation of the I2 model.

I2 mode, was choosen among the top 50 Slovenian innovation for the year 2011 and presented on the Slovenian Forum on Innovation in Ljubljana on November 22. in 23. 2011. Maybe, together, we can find a fresh solution to your challanges on mass innovation at your organization. Get in touch with us;
www.vibacom.com, vibacom@vibacom.si or +386 (0)1 517 41 28

We also recommend, a constant change of the use of different tools to encourage creativity and innovation. Experiences are showing that people often get bored quickly, and that the level of their participation decreases faster with repetitive use of the same predictable tools.

I really hope, that a bit more provocative thought about mass innovation has brought you some interesting thoughts. I also hope that we are even more connected and ready to co-create together, or can at least inform each other about the progress made, and that we can all continue on a richer level of consciousness.

Lots of goodness and prosperity, Violeta

Dear friend, please see the invitation bellow. I hope to see you in Vienna:
EMCSR 2012 Call for Participation / Call for Papers
We invite you to submit your extended abstract to the 21st European Meeting on Cybernetics and Systems Research. Visit the website!
The meeting will take place from April 10 to April 13, 2012, in Vienna, on the Campus of the University of Vienna, Austria.

The power of intergenerational cooperation

Once the density of awareness reaches a certain point, the environment starts self-reorganizing. This is a natural development that can also be observed in Slovenia. As boring political campaigns compete for obsolete political positions, and ideals, wonderful things are happening on parallel frequencies. Some of them have already been woven into the mosaic of Aktualno 2.0. However, the story here takes us a step further. It announces developmental impulses of a new society, a new approach to social action and expressions of political will. This fresh impulse comes from those generations under 30years of age. Those generations to whom post Second World War crimes and the maximisation of share capital are equally alien. These generations have a better understanding of social entrepreneurship, which prioritises social benefits, without neglecting the creation of an added value that energises and motivates development. These people enter voluntary and charity projects without reservation, while understanding that they need to take care of themselves and their needs by themselves, ie.personal responsibility. It is exactly these sort of individuals that have developed the Simbioz@ (Symbiosis) project. This model has the potential to become a foundation for developing successful intergenerational cooperation and the flow of knowledge and experience. This model has great potential to become an export product of Slovenia. This is the story of Simbioz@ and the people who brought it to life. I hope the vibrations will spread on.

VB: What is Simbioz@?
ZY: Simbioz@, or e-literate Slovenia, is a project on the national scale focused on intergenerational cooperation which was organised by Zavod Ypsilon and which took place between 17 and 21 October. During these five days, young volunteers helped the older generation get familiar with the use of computers and the Internet in free workshops across Slovenia. The key aim of our initiative was to enable older people to have a positive experience with computers, encourage and strengthen their self-confidence and motivate them to further learning using computers and the Internet.

VB: Who are the people who have developed and brought this initiative to life?
ZY: Simbioz@ was developed by a group of young enthusiasts who invested more than 10,000 volunteer hours in the project. Its core comprises 28 committed individuals who were helped by a number of other people in the realisation of the project. The leader of the project, Borut Jeglič, did an exceptional job.

Simbioz@ took place between 17 and 21 October 2011
in 120 municipalities across Slovenia, in more than
240 Simbioz@classrooms where more than 2,400 young
volunteers taught5,700 older people.

VB: What was the reason for the initiative?
ZY: Simbioz@ was developed as an answer to three key problems: Firstly, the low rate of computer literacy of the older generations in Slovenia for Eurostat data shows that in 2010, 56% of people in the 55-74 age group in Slovenia have never used a computer and 67% have never used the Web. The second reason is the fact that we do far too little for intergenerational cooperation and that results in the growing generational gap and losing of mutual contact. The third reason is the spirit of volunteer work, which is gaining in significance and regard, but is still not integrated deeply enough in the lives of individuals, especially of young people. Furthermore, many older people ask themselves what "www" means and Simbioz@ has provided them with an answer and has shown them that we don't want the world and its progress to be discriminatory towards them.

VB: How was your project organised?
ZY: The main e-literacy activities took place between 17 and 21 October 2011. Training sessions took place twice a day from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the morning and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the afternoon. The free workshops took place at facilities equipped with computers and Internet connections across Slovenia. These were mostly public libraries, schools and other public institutions, but some of the facilities were also provided by our partners and donors.

VB: Who are the people involved in the project so far?
ZY: The project involved 5,700 older people who joined it as students and 2,400 young volunteers who were willing to dedicate time to teaching them. The project was implemented with the help of many local coordinators. Simbioz@ was also supported by many notable sponsors, ambassadors, supporters and partners of the project.

VB: What did you learn from the project?
ZY: The project certainly showed us that the gratitude of the older generation made all the effort worth while, but we were also enriched by new friendships, enthusiasm due to the newly acquired knowledge and the responses from our young volunteers. We learned patience, good communication, persistence and tenacity while gaining a wonderful new experience. We have confirmed our conviction that voluntary work and effort can bear fruit.

VB: How will Simbioz@ continue its life?
ZY: Simbioz@ will live in the stories it has written; in the improved computer literacy of the older generation which has made a step into the e-world and in the unique symbiotic experience of the people taking part in Simbioz@. Now, we need to analyse and evaluate our initiative and prepare an action plan for the future. The project has apparently become a Slovenian export product for it created interest in the EU, the USA, Arab countries, China, etc.

I hope the legacy of the project will continue to develop through further social innovation. We certainly need it. To live fully and to connect with the essence of an open and socially-orientated society. I would like to thank Zavod Ypsilon and everyone involved for this insight.

When instead of fear, instead, we are filled with the joy of living

Do you ever feel life is a single big paradox? Our public institutions, the media and our own moral and ethical attitudes, fight smoking and alcoholism, yet simultaneously, our government fills the budget that is supposed to ensure our social security, and national health, with taxes collected from the sales of cigarettes and alcohol. We encourage people to lead healthy lives, spend as much time as possible outdoors and with each other, while at the same time we are building a virtual world where technology is taking over our structured world and increasingly influences how we perceive it?
These contradictions of the modern day and age stimulate the noble side in some people and prompt noble actions and initiatives. The propagators of ne-odvisen.si are certainly such people. They bring something good. This is their story.

VB: Who is Bojan Kodelja? Who comprises the ne-odvisen.si team?
BK: He is the initiator of this movement. A practical and realistic person, yet, who never loses touch with his visionary side. "I am learning continuously and I strive to do things that fulfil me, thus enabling me to do even more. I act on the incentive of life I am familiar with as a son and a father. I explore the dynamic layers of fatherhood and believe in intergenerational cooperation. Our team shares these values. We transfer our faith in sunlight-filled relationships to our projects and people who share our need to illuminate darkness and alleviate distress. We do field work daily, from dawn until dusk. We have already evoked many a smile and knocked down taboos about addiction. More still lies ahead."

VB: What is Ne-odvisen.si? What need in our country does it address?
BK: It is a social responsibility programme that unveils and demystifies addiction in a fresh, open and very practical manner and encourages the individual to act and choose a health way of life. Based on concrete questions and answers, on examples and situations. With the help of those people who daily face the problems of addiction and people who bring laughter, hope and vision to others' hearts with their work.
The ne-odvisen.si programme speaks to the individual and the society. It promotes integrated personal development and a change of work habits, or rather, bad habits that destroy the worlds within and around us.

"We all can do it and we are all a part of the whole"

"Ne-odvisen.si" (un-addicted.si) is a social responsibility programme that is truly colourful! It unites open people who are able to listen to a person and hear them, and provide them with clear and unambiguous paths to themselves. Helped by a multitude of friends, the organisers of the programme regularly implement various initiatives that motivate people to learn and manage to live free of the clutter that surrounds us in our daily lives and creates a sense of inner contentment.

Each and every one of us can do it and we are all a part of the whole. Each of us experiences, understands and gives in a different way and that is what makes the world so colourful. PAINT A NEW DAY!

Bojan Kodelja, Head of the ne-odvisen.si social responsibility programme

VB: Where do you and your team get the energy for operating such an enterprise?

BK: I can safely say that we are motivated by written and spoken responses that we receive, the acceptance of our programme by the youth and those slightly older, the methods we use to bring it to the people, the time we spend implementing our programme across the country and the impression we live behind.

VB: Your business model is original, unique. What is its core?
BK: The core of our activities are field actions. Direct contact with people who want to learn about addiction. Our topics are adapted for various age groups - children, teenagers, parents and adults. The ne-odvisen.si programme opens the door to intergenerational cooperation and responsible and consistent parenting based on firm parenting grounds. This concept of interactive learning is specific and advantageous in that it does not moralise and irritate. Rather, it presents the topics in an engaging manner to all target groups. The activities are intentionally condensed into a single day for such a succinct programme, verifiably creates the necessary critical mass that stimulates the participants, children and their parents, to talk about uniformly presented topics and continue discussing them and in the following days.

Ne-odvisen.si/Press release

VB: Who is responsible for your success?
BK: The Expert Council, certain institutions and opinion-makers additionally contribute to programme development and continued existence of the ne-odvisen.si social responsibility programme.
This is accompanied by limitless patience, hope and strength projected by the team, and the people who have already been touched by ne-odvisen.si and whose lives have already taken a turn for the better. Success lies in the hands of each individual; we all possess talents and strength to achieve success in life - the kind of success deserved by every individual who doesn't give in to the weight of erroneous convictions and beliefs and finds a solution in the seemingly confusing life. This results in the personal achievement and success that has always been within their reach.

VB: Which way forward?
BK: We wish to further develop and enhance the contents of the ne-odvisen.si programme, to make the expertise of facing addiction more accessible to the general public whilst remaining faithful or our ideals - professionalism, responsibility, respect, credibility, integrity, honesty, reliability and consistency. We are developing methods and models of effective and innovative learning for the target group of young people that will enable them to develop their own opinions and build on their own ideas and goals in a relaxed, clever, team-based and effective manner.


The ne-odvisen.si programme addresses, inspires and mobilises over 20,000 people across Slovenia every year. Your belief in the need to act is more than evident. It is personal and concrete. With the aim of making the world a friendlier and joyful place. With less fear. Your meetings disperse doubt and answer actual concerns of people who are lost as to how, why and where. I hope your energy will grow even further. People like you make the world a wonderful place. And what are the rest of us doing?

SUCCESS = engineering ambition+ masterful touch of inspiration + design + marketing niche

A few days ago, I received a phone call...:"Violeta, would you be the sponsor of our boat?"
I must admit that I was surprised by the invitation, but it was honest, good-natured and the caller's voice was full of excitement. A few days later, I travelled to Bled where under a big white tent a "water princess" was getting ready for launch, the Ljubljanica from Bled. I stood motionless for a while. The sparkling eyes of four young people were full of expectation. I was immensely proud to be invited to partake in their wondrous event. Anže enthusiastically explained his plans, thoughts, and the story of their boat, which started as a project for a client, but ended up partly in his ownership due to unforseen problems.
"I've learned my lesson," he said, "but I had to finish this project and I don't regret a thing." Tomorrow, the Ljubljanica will cruise along the River Ljubljanica and set a new standard in the design of river boats. I hope this will inspire the city of Ljubljana. This is Anže's story.

VB: Who is Anže Logar?
Anže Logar comes from Bled. He is a thirty-one-year-old whose heart and soul are tied to wood in the most subtle of ways. He possesses a remarkable combination of mastery in carpentry and modern engineering knowledge. He is a shipwright of wooden vessels. He has a mission, an enduring and noble one.

VB: What is your passion?
AL: "I am passionate about all wooden vessels. About everything connected to water and everything surrounding it. That's no wonder since my astrological sign is Aquarius."
The gift of a free spirit that enjoys beauty, perfection and fresh inspiration lies within Anže's hands and heart.

VB: You've mentioned you have a mission. What is your mission?
AL: "It is connected to the preservation of cultural heritage of wooden vessels and protecting them from disappearing altogether. Since I see myself as a craftsman, and because I am fully aware of the significance of such a status nowadays, I believe it is very important to make sure people are aware and understand the significance of master craftsmen in this day and age. People need to be constantly reminded about wood as a material, of the future for wood as one of the few domestic raw materials we have in sustainable abundance.

A film about the emergence of boats

VB: How do you implement your ideas and talent?
AL: "Jointly with my clients. People trust me, which allows me to realise my creative potential. In essence, I am maintaining the tradition of building of wooden vessels, while ensuring constant development of my company and my personal growth. In addition to high quality and cost-effective wooden vessels for a broad range of users, I also endeavour to fulfil the requirements of my most demanding clients and their custom made projects. The latter often combine tradition and modern engineering and technology. My clients come from Slovenia, Switzerland, Germany and Austria."

VB: What do you base a project upon?
AL: "All my projects are for specific clients. Including small traditional boats and simple boating gear. I don't produce any stock items".

VB: What about financing?
AL: SKB Bank helps me finance my larger projects. Together, we always find the optimal financing solutions. I purchase materials from Lescom d.o.o. and Wuerth d.o.o., while Kamm navtika supplies me with nautical equipment. But the key element is our team: carpentry engineer Anže Višnar, Matej Trtnik, Anton Zupan, Tomaž Jurca, designer Ivana Žigante, electrical equipment experts Anton and Matija Murn, and some other occasional associates.

VB: Where did you get the idea for the Ljubljanica project?
AL: "The idea for the Ljubljanica was shaped about a year and a half ago. I was offered the challenge to build a wooden barge for the purposes of tourism in our capital and I accepted it. I designed the barge taking into account all the legal restrictions applying to rivers. Then we built the body of the boat. I am truly happy and proud to have completed this project. "

VB: What was the main challenge of the project?
AL: "The key challenge was to build something original that would increase the value of river navigation. Our rivers have only seen plastic and metal boats so far. This barge is first wooden vessel that was developed and built specifically for Ljubljana. The design merges modern design knowledge with the old city centre of Ljubljana designed by Plečnik. At least, I hope that's what we've achieved. We still need the feedback from other people to confirm this."

Baptism ceremony was held in Ljubljana in the river
harbor Trnovski pristan on
Wednesday, 14 September, at 6 p.m.
Godfather of Ljubljanica was Violeta Bulc.

VB: Where are the limits of your dreams?
Anže Logar will continue his efforts in maintaining the cultural heritage of wooden vessels while strengthening his brand - Lakercraft.
AL: "I will continue to pursue the goals I set for myself. I am currently negotiating a few bigger projects of greater impact. This winter I'm building a modernised version of the "Pletna" covered wooden boat that is characteristic for Lake Bled. I am also constantly working on improving the floating characteristics of all types of small oar boats. I will never run out of ideas and topics for exploration since the wisdom of wooden vessel construction is in the details and finesses."

Incredible. I dare anyone to say that our wonderful country lacks healthy pulses, daring individuals and successful teams. There are many. We just have to allow ourselves to see them. We need to open our eyes. Look around you - can you see more?
