Genius Gets Real -- The Workshop of Life

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. It appears that after some really heady and occasionally heated conversations about transformation, the power of intent, and the economy -- the latter of which was surprisingly related to the former two -- people are ready to put their words to practice.

(For reference to our past topics please utilize the widget on the left hand side of the page, just below the About Me section)


This topic, therefore, is going to more of a workshop where life becomes the exercise and our virtual space here becomes a place to share your experience, gain input from others, be coached, and learn from one another's encounters with life -- the place where ideas and our ego meet reality.

My suggestion -- pick a particular area of your life you would like to focus upon (it will most likely expand as we go on, but let's start more specifically to gain some clarity). You may considering sharing what you're encountering;how you see yourself connected to the results that are occurring; what you'd like to create from the situation; what you're willing to do about it; what level of ownership for your current situation you're currently at; what you'd do would do differently if you took a greater level of ownership for your role and the outcome?

I'd invite us to consider writing our process in steps so as not to create posts that are so long that others grow weary attempting to sort through them. Perhaps taking on one of the above questions at a time might be an approach. Or starting out by bulletizing to give us context and a more whole picture -- and then going into detail on the above bullets on subsequent posts.

Part of the magic of this type of process is to allow what other people write to be a catalyst for your own reaction or response. Notice what comes up for you; what it reminds you of; what would you suggest that someone might do differently to achieve results that better points them toward their desired outcome.

Also, it's valuable to remember that our experience is our own -- and that part of the secret of this exercise is to try to do "paradigm-shifting" -- experiencing life through the eyes of another -- walking a mile in someone else's shoes. The more we can be free of judgment and full of compassion, the more this process will benefit each of us.

Let the exercise begin.

Genius Manifesting -- The Power of Intention

After some amazing interactions in our previous topic, "Genius Changing -- Transformation -- Stepping Through the Door ", I agree with Anna -- who provided the last post in that topic -- that it's time to transition and thus evolve our topic further.

This topic can certainly be used to further explore transformation, but what I'd like to add to this discussion is the concepts of "intention," "manifestation," and their relationship to "transformation." I've also re-posted Anna's comments below as the first comment, since they provide the perfect lead in to this conversation.

Also remember there is another active topic going on, entitled, "Genius Having an Identity Crisis -- How Economics Might Save/Destroy the World ."

I'm very curious and enthused to see where this discussion might lead us.

Please, dive in,
Christopher

Genius Changing -- Transformation -- Stepping Through the Door

Based on a request by several of our blog community, I'm setting up this topic to explore the idea (and practice) of transformation. There's certainly been ample talk of change amidst our political scene this year -- and that brings up a few questions:

What's the difference between change and transformation?

What are the various forms that the transformation of human consciousness can take?

What is required for a true transformation to occur?

Is transformation a natural process with humans?

Is it necessarily a good thing?

What are your experiences with your own transformation or that of others?

Since almost every topic we have explored here has inherently built into it a notion of the transformational process, I felt it might be helpful to take a closer look at this fundamental element that seems to be a necessary ingredient in any type of lasting, systemic change.

There is still another active topic in motion as well, "
Genius Having an Identity Crisis -- How Economics Might Save/Destroy the World." So please feel free to add your thoughts and questions to either.

All the best to each of you,
Christopher
