The
manner and appearance of a prophet,
Our secret origins, these are born
of a woman who still lives inside us,
though she’s hiding from what we’ve become.
----Rumi
My personal journal is currently composed of fragments, ideas and insights as a result of recently events I attended , given by Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute, and a Tony Robbins 4 day event.
Digesting and assimilating their work and relating it to my own journey gives the notion of change new meaning. Letting go of old modals for growth and development to accommodate the extraordinary work of these giants of the ‘western form” or school, requires an openness to allow the contemporary wisdoms to grow and accelerate our own being in the world.
This self directing and self creating process called living, thrives on the latest, up to date tools, processes and wisdoms that are being produced as I write. By this I am suggesting immediate external and internal teachings are working our external world to be comfortable with consistent transformation, which helps us peak our potentials, have fun, be joyful and naturally move to the promised land. Hallelujah!
Notes on the Two Events
1) The I-WET seminar of The Integral Institute.
When we arrived we were greeted by a large open space for the event, with candles and flowers arranged around the room. With a group of about 110 people, this space was comfortable to be in and accommodated the body/mind quite nicely. For me, open spaces help in the transmission of teachings and honor the body.
The event of getting wet, for me, was an immersion into the integral waters that produced a cleansing for the soul. The Ministers Burt Parlee and Diane Hamilton showered us with love, Huy Lam moved us with love and Stuart Davis made love to us with waves of song and harmonies. The weekend was extraordinary. Gifts flowed with such grace through the vibratory elegance of beings happy at the root. I do treasure the experience.
As the weekend unfolded we worked with some familiar exercises to open ourselves
as well as a new technique. The new technique was the Big Mind process presented
by Master Diane Hamilton. I am impressed with the sense of this work called
Big Mind developed by
Genpo
Roshi. Since the workshop I have worked with this process of the big
mind and consistently found a route to having what is real on firm footing.

In September I attended Tony Robbins event called “Unleash the Power Within”. this was a four day event that gave an introduction to tools of Neuro-associative conditioning, a form with roots In NLP; Neuro-Linguistic Patterning. The audience of approximately 3,500 people, where in for a radical experience that Tony Robbins has been developing for some 25 years.
This became a high powered event with high fives, shouting yeses, and punching the air, very similar to athletes celebrating a win. A volunteer crew of about 300 helpers worked the event with different chores like, attending a large log fire outside to create hot coals for the fire walk, for some 3000 people. Quite an achievement.
Tony’s presentation was highly animated and up tempo with two large screens displaying his every move. Each day began with lots of high fives and music to give a flavor of energetic up tempo activity. At first appearance this all had the feeling of a rock concert, but the days unfolded and I could feel the specifically designed experience was really playing with the inner dialogs of the audience. Creating changes for the mind and directing it towards a more positive creative state. In many ways this was an extraordinary work in progress, with Tony holding court for eight hour clips.
After a long digestive period with this workshop I started to look a NLP WebPages for some deeper insights. I am currently doing a practice for addressing old patterns and using this brilliant psycho-physical system, the body, with less effort.
~~~~~
At these two events, most communication I had with others,
during breaks, generally moved around to discussions of the body. When people
learn that I work with the body and alignment I get to hear all about their
physical maladies. It is interesting that the majority of people I spoke with
had one or another physical problem. Since I have worked with most physical
problems that people present, we would talk about the simple and immediate ways
in which one can address the problems.
I would have liked to see more presented on body directly. My personal favorite, of course, is understanding body alignment. I have no doubt from 44 years experience this tool works across the spectrum of physical performance. Results, results, results are what drive my excitement and desire to present directly, simple notions on being with the body. Everything we do physically benefits with the knowledge of what is alignment.
Along with all the fine tools presented at the workshops, include a respect for body and what it has to teach and you will have a well rounded tool kit for navigating the magical, uncreated waters of our daily immersion in life.
