I posted a buzz, Things coming together, as a reply to a comment on another post of mine. I concluded the buzz by writing:

In support of our exchanges on beBee, I leave you with these words:

“Cross-pollinators can create something new and better through the unexpected juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated ideas or concepts. They often innovate by discovering a clever solution in one context or industry, then translating it successfully to another.” - Tom Kelley

My call to action was to invite readers to add their thoughts, ideas and insights. Well, I couldn’t have been more encouraged by the quality and depth of the comments. These reinforced the potential of cross-pollination and in honor of the responses from the readers, I would like to expand on Tom Kelley’s quote and continue the focus of the discussion on cross-pollination.


“Cross-pollination is the transport of pollen from a single plant to a different plant by insects or the wind. It merges the hereditary characteristics of two plants and creates more varied species
Cross-pollination works the opposite way of self-pollination, in which a plant transfers pollen grains to itself to produce fruits and seeds. Cross-pollinated species often generate stronger seeds than self-pollinated plants. The plants that result from cross-pollination adapt better to changes in the surroundings, compared to plants produced by self-pollination that sometimes fail to adjust. Species that use both self-pollination and cross-pollination typically produce a higher quality and number of seeds when they breed through cross-pollination. The most common pollinators are bees, which deliver pollen to other flowers as they collect nectar from flowers.” (Empahsis mine.) Author in Source Title
I love the cross pollination in beBee! It is energising and exciting! I cannot keep up - I have so many draft posts where I jot down ideas after reading a post. They are then waiting for the seeds to germinate a little more and then be thrown out into a hive for pollinating with others. BeBee is the best platform
And where I feel the most comfortable.- Deb🐝 Lange
I like the idea of "cross pollinator " it's to my thinking a new slant on "thinking outside the box" and the less well known "ignorant observer". The latter someone not directly linked to the problem, who provides an answer new to the situation.
All are ways of bringing fresh ideas into the mix, something which should be welcomed, and hopefully what much of beBee is about. -John Rylance
It amazing how cross-pollination of ideas lead to writing…What a lovely idea: the synchronization of time and ~BOTH spaces-internal world and external world- can only lead to `Our internal world by itself, and our external world by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality". I would again highlight that the two worlds are spaces and the two have to be in synchronicity for our world to be meaningful
What still intrigues me more is the extension of this idea. For example, external and internal motivators shall give real meaning to motivation if they are in synchronicity. It is not this or that; it is both acting and reinforcing each other in simultaneity that produce the biggest effect of motivation. I don't think this idea has been discussed before. I wonder what you think? - John Rylance

My cross pollination from Dr. Ali’s comment: "It is not this or that; it is both acting and reinforcing each other in simultaneity that produce the biggest effect of motivation." @Ali Anani, you have taken the concept of "things coming together" and, from my perspective, you have managed to penetrate the 4th spacetime dimension.

In terms of time, I am always amazed as to how much you get done in the same amount of time as "us mortals" but I am hopeful you will at some point manage to find the time to expand on this exceptional idea.

Dr. Ali  cross-pollinates across the network: I have responded to this great buzz in a buzz titled "The Synchronicity of Coming Together".

It feels to me like time is internal and space is external and that mostly our thinking equipment manages to integrate these two dimensions, but we do, on occasion, end up out of sync - much in the way of visual illusions where we shift our focus just ever so slightly and see a different picture.
I experience time as pressure. Mostly comforting pressure like how my dog shows affection by touch. But when I start to experience time as sharp, painful pressure, I realize I have focused on this perspective to the exclusion of all my other senses. Curiously, even though I know I often cause myself undue emotions based on how I focus on the pressure of time, it is how I experience the world until someone else points out they live within time without pressure. - Deb 🐝 Helfrich

My cross pollination from Deb’s comment: Thank you @Deb 🐝 Helfrich for being able to so clearly and poetically write a synesthesiastic description of the sense of time as it evokes the sense of pressure and the tactile sense.

Ali Anani cross-pollinates with Deb.

Separation and integration are our way of being. This buzz has some very interesting and intriguing comments on Deb's sparking comment.
We are creating our world inside our being and our world is being created outside our being at the same time. More like the conflict on what to do between the heart and the mind. In both cases it is in the power of creation of thought/ our thinking like Deb Helfrich says.
@Deb🐝 Lange has opened a passage of thoughts that exist between worlds and what happens if we are in either one side or on both at the same time. I'm blaffed with how lost we get when our senses fail to detect this cross over and synchronisation of paths between the two worlds.
Thank you everyone this is a good "put my thinking-cap" read and I thoroughly enjoyed every comment on this buzz. - 🐝 Fatima Williams
When we create consistent internal and external inside-out and outside- in within ourselves, our internal actions and their external impact will be consistent, and our actions can easily be justified. Each of us has his own "window horizon" and stand by it to see the outer world ,whenever we change our position at the window we can see different things or see them differently. Everybody, also, has his own "time window" ,and because we are 'time binding being' our time widow determines to a great extent our capacity to see the future. Some can stretch their thinking beyond the norm and think strategically, and others have time windows that put limits on what they can do and think tactically, although the stimuli could be the same.Thanks @Sara Jacobovici and to @Deb Lange for extending your original post. - Deb 🐝 Helfrich

My cross pollination from Mohammed Sultan’s comment: What a wonderful metaphor @Mohammed Sultan: "Each of us has his own "window horizon" ... has his own "time window" ." Thank you for sharing your insights and expanding this discussion.

When it comes to motivation,the good things that come together is your inside-out purpose, potentials and fear of regressing to failure,and outside-in gain,rewarding,recognition and pride.Cross-pollination of any of these factors of motivation will have different impact on one's satisfaction and content. There's also bad things coming together ,inside- out come negative emotions and inertia and from outside- in rigid rues and deteriorating economies,all of which are anti-motivational and may be also depressing. -  Mohammed Sultan

My cross pollination from Mohammed Sultan’s comment: You're right @Mohammed Sultan to remind us of the "shadow side".


“Cross-pollinate
asl ideas”

tag

ieOn Why cross pollination works Peter Lloyd writes:"Just as in the plant world, where new life arises from the introduction of pollen from other plants, all great ideas arise from combinations of ideas that haven’t met yet. In both cases, we call this process cross pollination. You get a greater diversity of ideas by collaborating with a greater diversity of creative people—people from a variety of disciplines, departments, cultures, ages, mindsets, motivations, and orientations."

Yes, dear Deb \ud83d\udc1d Helfrich, I do relate to your description but wasn't as aware of this process until you put it into your words; the distinction between deja vu and deja ecris is priceless, thank you!
