You're welcome here any time you like. We're open
24 / 7 / 365.
The only invitations you need to be here are your
intending
to be here, and your
listening
for making this place your own. When you arrive, we request you leave
your baggage outside the door. If you want it back when you leave, it
will still be there exactly where you left it, untouched, waiting for
you. Enjoy whatever you see here. Accept whatever you discover here as
our gift to you, indeed as your gift to yourself for being
here. In fact, take whatever you find here. It's all
yours. Stay as long as you like. Leave whenever you like. If you
choose to come back and visit again at any time in the future, we'll be
here. You'll always be welcome.
Please notice it really is a
"living"
... "room". It's
alive
... and it's a space. In our
living
room there's an opportunity to experience and to share thrilling,
alivetransformation
as the space of
who you really are,
indeed as the space of
who we really
are.
In our
living
room there's also an opportunity to experience and to share your
transformation
with and in the
presence
of everyone who's here, to experience and to share
transformation
as a possibility for everyone. Experiencing and sharing your
transformation
in our
living
room with and in the
presence
of everyone who's here, is an access to getting beyond holding
back, an access to getting past keeping your
transformation
private and personal.
Listen:
when
transformation
is kept private and personal, it isn't
transformation.
Really it isn't. To say
"transformation"
in the same breath as
"private and personal" epitomizes
jargon.
It's being unclear on the concept to say "I got
transformation"
... and ... "I'm a private person - I won't
be in / share in groups.". When
transformation
is kept private and personal, whatever it is is just a
peak experience - an
enlightening
peak experience maybe, a spiritual peak experience
perhaps, a peak experience which may have lasted years
even ... but merely a peak experience nonetheless.
Clearly
the world
is comprised of people, yes? That's how Life is.
Transformation,
if it's really
transformation,
includes everyone with no one and
nothing
left out.
Transformation,
if it's really
transformation,
is
out-here
where people are. It's
out-here
where Life is lived. This is why
Werner's work
is set up to deliver
transformation
in groups. I'm an advocate for privacy, especially my own ...
and ... I'd like you to consider that saying "I'm a
private person - I won't be in / share in groups" may sound like it's a
description of a human attribute which is written in stone, as if it's
something genetically ordained by the DNA. But I
say it isn't quite so absolute. It's more malleable than
that. I say it's merely an unexamined barrier to
participating
wholeheartedly and fully, holding
nothing
back
Consider that
transformation,
until it's experienced at the level of group, isn't
transformation.
Furthermore, consider that until your
transformation
is experienced and shared at the level of group, it isn't
complete. In our
living
room you'll experience and share
transformation
at the level of group, thereby completing your experience of
transformation.
Please take with you whatever you get from completing your experience
of
transformation
out into
the world
when you leave our
living
room.
I thank you for being the
source
of what's available for you here. I'm not saying you're
responsible for what's available for you here. Later you
may choose to take responsibility for it with us, or you may not. And
you don't have to take reponsibility for it: we've already done
that.
I thank you for the
listening
you are, for the gift of your
listening
in which our
living
room
shows up
for you. I want you to know we appreciate it.

The
presentation,
delivery, and style of
Our Living Room
are all my own
work.
