Be-Do-Have principles

The concept of Be-Do-Have, combined with the Scale of Havingness, provides a framework for understanding how identity and orientation drive results. In the context of the blog post you are drafting—which discusses a "divided species" finding a "shared orientation"—these principles can be seen as the mechanics of collective survival.

1. The Be-Do-Have Model

This model suggests that for any goal to be achieved, the sequence must start with Identity (Be) rather than Action (Do) or Possession (Have).

  • Be: This is the state of "beingness" or identity. In your text, this corresponds to the shared orientation. It is the internal decision of who we are (a species that intends to survive) and what we value.

  • Do: These are the actions taken based on that identity. You mention a course of action and the act of "arguing about everything else." These are the "doingness" steps that flow from a secure "beingness."

  • Have: This is the result or "havingness." In your post, this is survival and the preservation of "what must never be lost."

2. The Scale of Havingness

In this philosophical framework, Havingness is defined as the ability to reach, touch, or direct the disposition of something. A "Scale of Havingness" typically measures a person's or group's ability to comfortably possess or confront their environment.

  • Low Havingness: A state where a group feels they cannot "reach" or control their future, leading to division and the feeling of being a "divided species."

  • High Havingness: A state of "fullness" or "contentment" where the group has enough shared reality (ARC - Affinity, Reality, Communication) to "have" a future together.

3. Application to Your Post

Your draft argues that Unity is not "sameness" (which would be a forced "Beingness") but shared orientation. By focusing on the "Be" (the shared orientation), the species gains the "Havingness" (the capacity) to survive its own power. Without that shared "Be," the "Do" (the course of action) becomes scattered and ineffective.

Would you like me to help refine the "course of action" steps in your draft based on these Be-Do-Have principles? The Be-Do-Have framework, combined with the Scale of Havingness, provides a framework for understanding how identity and orientation drive results.

Validity, safety, usability, and user experience of virtual reality gamified home-based exercises in stroke

  Hatem Lazem + 7 authors Helen Dawes 2025, Clinical Rehabilitation ... 1 Citations Saved Open in: +4 more Objective: This study adopted a novel approach to exploring the content validity, safety, usability, and user experiences of different games for telerehabilitation purposes from the perspective of physiotherapists and stroke survivors. Design A cross-sectional content validity and usability study. Setting Lab and online. Participants: 23 participants were recruited: 11 neuro-physiotherapists and 12 chronic stroke survivors. Outcomes Content validity and safety were assessed using a bespoke state evaluation questionnaire. Usability was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). House of Quality analysis was conducted to identify the priority aspects for improvement. Results: Physiotherapists perceived the usability of the games as good to excellent for three games (median SUS = 80%) and poor for two games (SUS < 68%). Three ...

How Did I Become Me?

I didn’t wake up one day fully formed. I became myself through a thousand tiny moments—some loud, some quiet, some I didn’t even notice until years later. But the very first moment that shaped me wasn’t mine alone—it was shared. I came into this world with Lonnie, my identical twin. We were a matched set from the start, but our beginning was anything but simple. We faced twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome before anyone had a name for it, let alone a treatment. There was no protocol, no textbook solution—just a local doctor with steady hands and a gut instinct that saved our lives. His skill, not science, gave us a chance. That moment—before memory, before breath—etched something deep into me: a sense of survival, of gratitude, and of connection that runs soul-deep. Growing up with Lonnie wasn’t just having a ...

The Cacopathy of time is the wind in our sails to a future location causing Cacophony of ideas.

  Why is hate hate, and racism racism? Male creates female, and right is left along the way? Up is still down down under, and death is life after you live. The world of self is a world of others, and others are selves alone. Destruction is construction after you clear the lot. And babies are the future, yet to begin. One can go east until one is in the west. One goes up until he comes down.  Killing babies and destroying your neighbor's house is not sound but Cacopathy. Going back is not sound.  Never fear change, change fears you. You are a creator, and you create. Going around and around will make you dizzy, unless you're a ballerina. Worship women, for they create your tomorrow. A woman who cheats is lost and not yet found. A hungry child will tell you so. If you owe a bill to a bill collector, give him the old washing machine. Not your wife or life or child or wisdom. After a while, they will be washing your clothes. The lord knows your wife needs a break. And for goo...
