A Powerful Connection Emerges...

As the dialogue around the "soul group" continues, Pluto and Emma are sensing something unique developing between them. They start exchanging emails between only the two of them and a powerful force begins to emerge...though neither of them are willing to admit it yet.

Do you ever wonder how it could be that we are so "attuned" with one another? I know that "understanding is the booby prize", but it is quite uncanny, isn't it? The workings of the "universe" never cease to amaze me. I suppose we should just continue to relax and enjoy the ride (especially since we're not driving the bus anyway!)

I haven't read the Jaworski book, but I have heard of it. Let me know if it's worth getting. If you're interested in leadership stuff, you should read "Sacred Hoops' by Phil Jackson, former Chicago Bulls coach. Whether or not you are a basketball fan, there are some wonderful insights and details of his "unique" approach to coaching.

Have you attended the BCAL leadership workshop? I don't know what they call it now; it used to be Quantum Leadership. I facilitated a bunch for the State of Colorado 2 years ago. There is some great stuff in it...kind of an expanded DALS, but not...if you know what I mean. The model is very close to Meg Wheatley's vision of organizational behavior...it's one of those things that when you hear it, it just resonates and you say...of course. Have you read any of Wheatley's books... "Leadership and the New Science" or "A Simpler Way"?

Anyway, I'm rambling. I'm looking forward to hearing about the I Ching book you got and your further adventures with "the sage".

Love, Pluto

You know, it used to just amaze me at how attuned I can be with another. I don't think the feeling has been as strong as with this group, however. And with someone I've never met face to face. At first, I was just blown away, but now I expect those connections. The Tibetan belief of how soul groups are formed makes more and more sense to me as we continue this journey.

I haven't attended any but the initial DALS workshop although this week I wrote down all the things I want for my life (like T---'s description of designing a life) and put on my list that I want to attend all of the BCAL training and become certified as a facilitator. I am so drawn to the principles it embodies because it is so absolutely consistent with my principles and values and how I want my life to be. You're right, "Understanding is the booby prize." I believe I had to go to the DALS training (about which I was initially lukewarm - until after the first hour) to connect with C--- and T---, so I could connect with you, so I could finally feel like there is a place where I belong, so I could begin to manifest all the good in my life, so I could own my power and use it to help others so I could......... and on and on.

I think the 4 of us need to "do eyeballs." (Meet face2face). I'm not willing to push the river on this and know that it will happen in the fullness of its time. I am enjoying the leisure and ease with which I am getting to know you. It feels really nice and right. What I imagine will happen is that T--- will end up in Denver, C--- is in Boulder, I go to Denver a few times a year to care for an aging ex-mother-in-law, and you will come out to do something with BCAL. It will be seamless and easy.

I haven't read any of Meg Wheatley's books but want to. Have you read Leading with Soul by Bolman and somebody else? I also really like the Tao of Personal Leadership by Diane Deher. My view of leadership is that it is the area where I can evoke in others the knowledge of their own power and connectedness. I try to hire the best people I can, then I keep everyone else out of their way so they can excel, while at the same time assisting them in growing and developing in their richness. I am now rereading Deepak Chopra's 7 Spiritual Laws of Success because my doctor on Monday said, "It really is how energy works." I can't wait to dive headfirst into Synchronicity and the I Ching. Should be fun and I'll make a full report!!

......................peace and love...........Emma

I agree with you about the doing of eyeballs...a few e-mails ago I hinted at it (another one of my what's next messages). This seemed to stir up something that was before its time. T--- called me shortly after that wondering what the heck I was talking about...so...yes, we shouldn't push the river here. I'm reminded of an analogy that my astrologer friend gave me about how we are getting through these lives of ours: we are riding on a bicycle built for 2, but we are on the back seat. We have to work hard, but we don't have our hands on the steering wheel.

No, I haven't read Leading with Soul, but I've heard of it. I will take a look at it.

By the way, you are a truly amazing and insightful person and I'm looking forward to the time when the river brings the 4 of us together. My instincts tell me it may be sooner than any of us are consciously ready for.

Love, Pluto

I read your last message then we went to a fast food joint for onion rings. When we got there, there was a very high-tech bicycle build for 2.....how weird is that?

Yes I AM amazing and insightful :-) I also think we will meet soon................love.......Emma

Somehow I'm not surprised at all. But of course now I really want some onion rings. Perhaps we should meet somewhere over a plate of them........love...Pluto
