We have the option to see everything in your life as collaborative; we are scared to say this because we don't want to victim-blame but we're also scared of the possibilities and transcendence that opens up
OK I’ve tried talking about this before and it always feels impossible, but it also feels super important, so here goes, relatively uncensored (meaning super philosophical, my apologies and hope some of you enjoy!): “We have the option to see everything in your life as... I’m curious to what degree you’re aware of your body together with the awareness of the awareness? When I do both at the same time, it feels electrifying, almost convulsive. I experience it as transformational, integrative.... Awareness always is (?)
I resisted writing about this partially because I’m afraid it’s boring, and partially because of the inherent limitations of languaging this stuff, and my own limits, but I’ve found the process extremely helpful for clarifying my own thinking.... yeah i appreciate the invitation; I’m not entirely sure-sometimes I use the heuristic that if i’m seeing the world through the developmental lens at all I’m probably looking through the teal lens, but that seems too simplistic: sometimes I’m using the developmental lens to...
