Inner Work is World Work
What is consciousness? I know, that question is a minefield. However, we use the word all the time, and ascribe a myriad of meanings to it. What is consciousness to you?
Consider this definition, offered by Dr.Dain Heer of Access Consciousness: “Where everything exists, and nothing is judged.”
Being in an engaged relationship with your emotions allows you to feel more skillful and aware, which = self-empowerment. Self-empowerment is a verb, something you do, and much more than a noun.
In a real sense, all life is interrelated. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly … I can never be what I ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be, until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.
– Martin Luther King
The relationship with ourselves is the first relationship we are in; add another person, and we are in a relationship system. Systems are about relationships. We are all part of them, whether in families, at work, with your friends, at the coffee shop. In all relationship systems, we influence each other and the whole, and we´re influenced by the whole. Systems strongly impact the efficacy and ´thrivability´ for all. That´s why we need to pay more attention and up-skill ourselves on Systems Intelligence.
The ongoing feedback loops between people in relationship systems, are much like fractals, repeating the process of communication, yielding successes and tensions – sometimes chaos. For humans to become better at understanding, navigating and communicating in systems, we need to up-skill our perception of the systems we are a part of, repeating what works and discarding what does not.
