Starting Over
|
I was going to start by writing "Life Update". But then realized —it's not exactly what I wanted to write. I'm Starting Over. It's Friday, a great time to Shift and Start Over. My start over for today is about the way I create. I have a few things on the burner that I want to share. The Alchemy of ResentmentResentment gets in the way of what I want to create. I have a deep-rooted resentment about hating the world for betraying me. This ripples out in unconscious ways into my creations and my relationships with myself, my partner, my children, friends, teams and community. I've been dismantling my resentments, one by one, for the last 3 years. Every resentment I've dismantled has been an experience of dying. Removing my expectations and unchecked assumptions forever. And changing the way I relate with myself and the world. I want to dismantle the resentment within me, and I feel the resistance (fear and sadness) to do so. One resentment is enough to kill the possibility of intimacy. Resentment is invisible to most people, disguised as social normalcy (numbness). "This is just how relating goes". "This is how I am/That's who she is". "I'm right and she's wrong". "She's just never going to learn". Over and over, I notice resentment lurking in relationships, communities, projects and teams. I want to create a space to pass down what I've learned about Resentment. Understanding the alchemy of Resentment is KEY to authentic adult Man and Woman collaboration. Without this distinction, you are an easy prey for Resentment to continue taking over your life and your relationships. I also want to create or join an ongoing practice space, a Dojo for dismantling resentments. Is this something that resonates with you? Are you done with your resentments? Do you know of any practice spaces for dismantling resentments? Reply to this email and let me know. Write Your NewsletterI LOVE writing this newsletter. Writing this 2-3 times a week newsletter has been an ecstatic learning journey. Writing my newsletter is often what gets me out of bed at 5 AM. I want to empower others to write their Newsletter. In modern culture, only salespeople trying to sell you stuff write newsletters. That's not my culture, and not what this newsletter is about. In my culture, your newsletter is one of the main ways to feed your circle. It's an energetic food that inspires and empowers my circle, you, to step into your role as a creator. Your newsletter creates bridges for others to follow your edgework discoveries and to be with you. I want to create a space for sharing what I've learned from writing my newsletter. What software do I use to write my newsletter? How often do I send it? What do I write about? How do I grow my circle? How do I get over the fear of pressing the send button? Let me know by replying to this email if you have questions, want my support, or want to be notified for my next worktalk. Check out the Write Your Newsletter website in the Start Over cloud. Re-purposing Your StoriesI woke up this morning noticing a story I've been carrying. I won't share the exact story here because I'm still processing it. But, it was some form of "I'm not good enough". Little by little, throughout the last few years, this story has made its way to all my bodies. And this morning, I could see and feel the impact. The thing with some stories is that they become invisible... A matter of fact... A layer overposed on top of reality... We can't distinguish between reality and the story. What stories do you have about yourself? What impact and consequences do these stories create? Changing a story you have is not as easy as wishing it so. Once you make a story, the world is full of evidence to prove that story. Your story has a purpose, likely unconscious, and a benefit. But ultimately, you created the story, so you have the power to uncreate it, dissolve it, transform it, compost it, drop it, etc. Now, most of us didn't get taught this shit at home or school. We're not taught about our innate power to create stories and tell them. This is one of the foundations we're introduced to at the Expand The Box training. If you're interested in re-purposing your stories... There's a group that started on Telegram for this purpose. Let me know, reply to this email, if you want to join. That's all for now! See you in the next space. Love & Write Your Newsletter, Upcoming EventsBy the way, are you coming to the ETB in Vancouver? Location has been confirmed. We're meeting at a beautiful Lakehouse in Hope, BC, for 5 days with the trainers Vera Franco and Devin Gleeson to expand our world and the possibilities available to us.

I've been listening to the audiobook Grandfather from Tom Brown Jr. This book, narrated by the author, is a gem for those seeking for answers about: ~ The role of human beings on Earth ~ What did it look like in north america before and while modern culture started taking over? ~ How is survival and living connected? ~ Are human beings a life taking parasite species? ~ What is really going on beyond what we were taught in school? ~ How do I live my vision and purpose? In the book, Grandfather...
10 years ago my heart shattered about life. The biggness of the world. My belonging in this world. The cruelty of human beings. The level of numbness that human beings use to survive in this world. Humans exploiting life, animals, plants and other human beings. The robotic way of spending a whole life working to make somebody else rich. The frantic zombie-like chase of money and success. I didn't know then, but I was grieving. A grief that was bigger than my being. An ancient grief that...
It’s May 20th. Today is my birthday, and I want to celebrate it this morning by writing in this space. For me, this writing space is about being at my edge. It’s also about sharing what I’ve been discovering and making invitations to be, play and work together. This week, I’ve been discovering how much of my orientation is about controlling what others think of me. The sensation is that I walk around not looking through my own eyes, but through the eyes of others looking back at me. It’s...
