. . . Descriptions of Synergy

Synergism is a process balancing:

• heart and the head

• temporal and spiritual
• poetry and work
• yin and yang
• right and left brain
• patron and artist
• technique and feeling
• science and religion
• realism and impressionism
• searching mind and mind of strong conviction
• pragmatist and dreamer

Ruth Benedict,

the anthropologist and poet, is credited with introducing the idea of synergy into social science.

"From all comparative material the conclusion emerges that societies where not agression is conspicuous have social orders in which the individual by the same act and at the same time serves his own advantage and that of the group."

(Maps of the Mind, Charles Hampden-Turner, Collier Books, NY, page 148.)

Abraham Maslow

Synergy is indivisible.

(Maps of the Mind, Charles Hampden-Turner, Collier Books, NY, page 148.)

In Summary:

Synergism, on a personal level, is the search for meaning in life,
recognizing the need for wholistic harmony.
