there are so many rich conversations taking place at the integral discussion forum, i can’t keep up! i’ve been pondering the road maps that we use as structure to help us grow. throughout our journey, each person seems to collect tools and techniques that are useful to him or her in pushing the growing edge and maneuvering through that place of expanding into something new. for me yoga and awareness of my body have been influential. noticing when i feel uncomfortable and when self-doubt arises. paying attention to the natural world around me is a huge part of my structure. i recently learned of the amazing structure laid out in jewish law, halacha ,for seemingly just this purpose.
at the forum, we are also talking about being dazzled by reality as it unfolds. as i open wider and wider, become more and more vulnerable, begin to listen with every receptor that this body has blessed me with… the more awarenss that i have. current ponderings of mine that i think may illustrate our road map and help illuminate our private guide(s) include these questions:
through what mean(s) do you receive best? (i.e. audial, visual, sensual, etc.)
through what mean(s) is it easiest for you to commune with Spirit?
what makes you lose time (and here i don’t mean losing track of time, but actually losing time itself) (this question was adapted from Jack Ricchiuto )?
