The Words of Truth are always Paradoxical

Emma,

Let me tell you a story. After returning from advanced DALS back in 1996, I was tasked with presenting a 3-month technical course for about 30 people. I was very excited to do the course in an accelerative way, since I had just had a wonderfully renewing experience with BCAL. One thing led to another and the course was presented in a rather ordinary, objective based, lecture oriented way due to (perceived) time constraints and various other "rational excuses." I felt somewhat guilty about this afterward, since I was, at heart, very committed to a DALS approach. Then, several days after the course ended, a very "mysterious" thing happened. I began to receive some of the most positive and inspiring feedback I had ever gotten!... what happened? I reflected on this for a long time. It then dawned on me (and I actually knew this all along) that all I needed was to be committed to a DALS approach AT HEART. I then decided that it was possible to "do DALS without doing DALS". (The words of truth are always paradoxical)

The thing which creates and sustains real learning, change and transformation is deep within each of us, and is common among us. It is what allows us to remain ourselves even though we have evolved. The model we use in the quantum leadership workshop calls this "vision" or "field". It is like the genetic blueprint that allows a species to evolve into a new version of itself. In organizations it manifests itself as the common understanding of who we are, and what is our purpose. I communicated that vision to my group in ways that at the time I did not understand. It was there even though I wasn't conscious of it. Imagine how powerful we can be when we become conscious of it!

What scares people the most about change and transformation is that they can't always see themselves in the new "them". We lose conscious connection with our identity through the chaos process. So...no... your question "How can I/We take these principles..." is not too grandiose or head-in-the-clouds. It is exactly the right question, and, I believe the answer is to somehow help people and organizations to maintain conscious awareness of the field/vision/identity through the changes life asks them to endure.

Of course, this then leads to your other question..."what does that look like in the physical reality...?" Perhaps this is best approached by finding out what's next. An astrologer friend of mine said to me once..."the next step is always right in front of you." Maybe we should just take a look. (Actually I'm a little scared to find out what's really there)

Hopefully this dialogue will allow us to fearlessly open our eyes and hearts to what's next, so I am thrilled about continuing it. I know that we have all been drawn together for a reason and that this process will make that reason crystal clear.

P.S. My friend, the I Ching, gave me hexagram #13, Fellowship (line 3 changing), and #25, Innocence, relative to these questions we are asking. I will leave you to your own interpretations.
