This isn't mere semantics either.
Transformation
is shared by speaking
transformation
rather than by speaking about
transformation.
That said, I have a great deal of suspicion about any conversation
(including my own ie especially my own) which either
starts off with or includes or insinuates "There's only one way to ..."
because there's almost always more than one way to do
anything. There's always more than one way to share
transformation.
And one of the most effective ways, one of the most
powerful ways to share
transformation
is to embrace it, is to be it, is to live it ... and then
to simply open your mouth and speak it.
When this
extraordinary
faculty we each have to deliver
transformationthrough language
was first distinguished by
Werner,
it became popular to say you could share
transformation
effectively and powerfully simply by
standing up
and reading the
dictionary
or the telephone book out loud. In essence that's true. But it does
come with a proviso. The proviso is this: as long as you're coming from
ie as long as you're embracing, being, and living
transformation
while you're reading the
dictionary
or the telephone book out loud, people will get it. But if the proviso
isn't in place, people will only get
words,
definitions, names, addresses, telephone numbers, ... and bored.
Actually it's more than embracing, being, and living
transformation
when you read the
dictionary
or the telephone book out loud which shares
transformation
effectively and powerfully. It's
standing up
and speaking anything coming from (ie embracing, being,
and living)
transformation,
which is the most effective way, the most powerful way to share
transformation.
So what's this anything? It's our lives. Sharing the
simple acts which comprise the day to day living of our lives, grounded
in and coming from
transformation,
is the most effective way, the most powerful way to share
transformation.
There's nothing to figure out. There's nothing to study for. The
simplest way to share
transformation
is be
transformed,
get on with your life, and share what's there.
It's no secret what I'm doing in this
Conversation For
Transformationinternet
series of essays is
standing for
and sharing the same thing endlessly over and over and
over again. I do, however, (as you can tell) vary the
subject matter twice a week to keep your
attention
and
interest.
You could say (and you'd be correct if you did) all I'm doing is
powerfully repeating mySelf, which is to say powerfully repeating
theSelf.
Honest! That's it. That's all I'm doing. Nothing else. There's no
ulterior motive.
Now, not sharing isn't an option for me. Look: there's
certainly
nothing wrong
with not sharing. There's no coercion to share. You're not required to.
Really you aren't. No one is. But speaking for myself, what I've
noticed is when I stop sharing, I immediately get my old life back.
That's enough of a cautionary tale right there to terminate that option
permanently.
