In my early 20’s, I asked myself a question that ended up being life-defining in my work and personal life: “How can we create a better world, when everyone has a different version of it?”
I could never have anticipated where this question would lead me. I am in awe of life as both a teacher and a lover. I learned a lot! In the process of wanting to share what I learned, I found myself struggling with two additional questions that turned out to have a profound impact.
First, how do I share what I have learned when it doesn’t fit into ordinary boxes? This turned out to be a critical part of my journey, giving me deeper understanding of why the new reality is so powerfully different.
The second question kept nagging me as I was preparing to step into the world in a more public way. It wouldn’t go away. The question was: “What’s in it for me?” I had to stop and acknowledge that I was tired… soul weary, in fact. Like many of you, I’m guessing. I had a déjà vu feeling of, “What’s the point?”
Which brought me to a missing piece…desire. A better world isn’t a destination, it’s an ecstatic state of consciousness that allows us to finally experience why we want to be human in the first place. It’s time to help each other get what we most deeply desire. That’s what’s in it for me—and for you.
It’s about time we create and experience a world that affirms:”Yes! THIS is why I am alive!”
