It seems we are all participants in the binary world where we tend to experience disconnectedness from each other. Whether you are the “oppressor” or the “victim,” the “ winner or the loser,” we are all players in an illusory field of separation. Consider also that when we are in conflict with each other and our circumstances, we each get our “power” from each other—from the drama of the fight —the war between us and them; from protecting or fighting for territory, rights, status and control. This is what we are clearly seeing now in the global political culture. This is what we call the “Power Show.” It is a facsimile of power, not the real thing— which we call authentic POWER. In this episode we explores POWER as the ability to navigate DESIRE in the midst of a binary world — where other seemingly separate beings are also navigating CHANGE driven by the expansion of DESIRE, each in their own unique way. In this session we imagine that you can Source pure energy from within yourself and bring that energy into your relationship with yourself and i celebrate others as they do the same. In so doing we each become the avant garde — leaders at the edge of the change that is happening for us cognitively and socially, as the human species. IN ThIS SESSION WE ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS :What are the five DESIRES that fuel of CHANGE What is the role of “conflict” as an initiation into a deeper engagement with one’s POWER? Where can we go to source authentic POWER, in the face of unrelenting CHANGE. When in conflict and transformation (change) , what are the five steps to realizing and navigating in one’s authentic POWER? THE GUIDE: This session is guided by Kweku Aacht.
