Clarity begins with acknowledging and embodying that the world is not always what it seems. A tree, on one level, is just a tree, and it can be dissected and explained in biological terms. Yet when looked at from the perspective of a larger reality, a tree is a complete mystery. The same is true of everything, including us, we humans here on Earth.
Birth, life, death, blood, hearts and hands, stone and sky, consciousness — all are sacred mysteries to behold with wonder and awe. Finding clarity means seeing the world from both perspectives: the ordinary and the mysterious. Yet finding clarity is only the first step. We also need to work cooperatively to take effective action and solve the crucial problems facing us. How? Practice!
During this talk we will explore seven core practices for integrating clarity within our lives:
- Be Curious Not Furious
- Drop The Story
- Listen For Understanding
- Mind The Gaps
- Cultivate A Clear Vision
- Turn Breakdowns Into Breakthroughs
- Don't Wait
