For me there’s a very important, deeply meaningful challenge/tension discussed in this post; it comes into focus with “While it is very useful for you to encourage others, it is technically incorrect to say, ‘Anybody can do this’ …” The continued use of ‘this’ and ‘it’ with no clear understanding of what they refer to obscures very important issues.
I think most of us would support and agree with the attitude ‘exercise is good for you,’ but far fewer would be supportive of ‘ … so you should run 10 miles a day’ or ‘ … lift weights every day.’ This example illustrates how easy ‘this is good’ can morph into ‘so this is what you should do.’
I completely agree that one can be more aware/conscious of larger parts of themselves, and that there are magical and awesome rewards in doing so. My growing awareness of connection to and guidance from my larger self has become central to my life. Yet I/guidance have little to no interest (for now) in writing about ‘our’ life together; the ‘flow’ has everything to do with living daily life more abundantly.
I repeat my endorsement (from personal experience) that everyone and anyone can do ‘it’, and that the rewards are beyond price. Perhaps the Frank/TGU mind and others here can say more about what that ‘it’ might look/be like.
An anniversary of 30 years of listening and transcribing. Congratulations!
Thanks. Listening and scribbling is it, for sure.
