Reimagine Those Old School Processes, Innovative Change is Happening Now & It Is Coming For Everyone

"Top 3 Global Law Firm Seizes First Mover Advantage 

to Tokenize Almost Everything with Blockchain. 

Law firm DLA Piper operates in over 40 countries and is one of the three biggest law firms in the world. But just because it's an old school company in an old school industry doesn't mean that it (or any other similarly positioned organization) cannot leverage technology to seize competitive advantage for itself as well as for its customers. 

At World Economic Forum 2023, BlockchainJournal.com editor-in-chief David Berlind met with DLA's Chief Innovation Officer Andy Gastwirth who explained why a global law firm needs a chief innovation officer as well as the significance of using blockchain to tokenize real-world assets; everything from office buildings to race horses. 

Two driving factors have to do with the idea of fractionalizing those assets and optimizing a multitude of complex and legal workflows to involve significantly less people, paper and process-based friction than they do today (think "digital transformation"). 

As Gastwirth says in the interview, it just means you have to reimagine those old school processes as digital processes. In the legal world, blockchain-based tokenization will be key to that reimagination." 

"From within the mandala of the wounded healer, the goal isn’t to never struggle, to wiggle into some state where we permanently transcend our embodied vulnerability and tender sensitivities, but to feel, hold, and integrate the shattered, dissociated, and forgotten.

To be more flexible and supple to feel more, to touch and be touched by the richness, depth, and beauty of the human soul in more subtle and nuanced ways, to discover the meaning within the suffering.

There is a grace and a vision that we can only know from within the more dimly lit areas of psyche, inside the blue spectrum.

There are many rooms within that interior castle that Teresa of Avila invites us to explore, but to enter inside we have to turn the whole thing upside down, shine a light into the unlived life, illuminate the matrices of intergenerational trauma and trance, and open to the possibility that the ally is always nearby.

At times, to slow things way down, and with a passionate, alive, and earthy compassion, come to the ground and tend to the soul-figures who have gathered there, mourn the reassembling of our world, and grieve all that we will inevitably lose as we heal and awaken.

It’s not only a process of manifestation, attraction, and acquisition - what I’ll get from the path - but also the assembling of a sanctuary to hold all that will be dissolved and reorganized. To honor and lament that as we allow the pieces of spirit to move on to what is next for them. This can burn and ache as it tenderizes the inner pathways.

It's an act of wisdom as well as compassion to honor that the transformational process by its very nature is messy, glorious, and full-spectrum. It’s not only the activity of creation, but reorganization as well.

There’s never a final landing place or resolution as the heart itself is endless. As long as there is a body, there is a shadow; as long as there is a body and a shadow, there is the possibility of deeper illumination, new rooms revealed in the secret places within the castle."
