Many people suffer from the illusion of control - which may be related to the illusion of self that the Buddhists talk about. Being aware of the forces that are playing out around and through us does not allow for the illusion of control.

I think that applies in Eisler's conception of hierarchy in partnership elements of the system - that management does not control what the employees do - we can only influence that. Then, the question becomes, is fear a better motivator than the alternative of helping each employee progress in their capacity to add value to the business?

In two dimensional thought there is a finite set of rewards and score is kept by the how many rewards one obtains (how much money). In three dimensional thought, the capacity of the system to produce value is a function of the structure (existing set of bridges, transactions, relationships, agreements, contracts . . . ). When we add new bridges we expand the capacity to produce value (creating an upward spiral) and I do not see any limit to that process.
