Moving without a mover--doing without a doer--thinking without a thinker--these are all terms that many of us have heard, and may be intrigued with or aspire to. In addition, there seems to be a strong experience many of us are curious about related to adult developmental levels. What does it mean to be at teal, at turquoise, at Indigo? And how do these experiences of awareness and developmental capacities interpenetrate? What is their embodiment, and how do they inform my day to day life? Such etherial questions to hold and yet it has been my experience and belief that it is common to get caught up in our whirling day to day experience, and unconsciously diminish ourselves by low expectations, which we might actually mistake for high expectations. Perhaps any expectations are "low" however, for expectations frame exactly what we are looking for, and when useful apprehensions happen outside of the focus of our expectations and our beliefs, we often don't see or experience them at all, being blind to their presence because we are focused "left" and they may be coming from the "right".
I sense that this balance between development and awareness opens up our field of experience and learning where we can hold a broad and deep awareness that is also piercing; piercing through these hidden expectations that perhaps bind us. I sense the value of lightness in our being while placing ourselves in a "training wheels" ecology that helps us hold this developmental and awareness balance in an uncapped way, so our capacities, talents, abilities, awareness, passions and contributions can be naturally released into the world.
I have dedicated much of my life to the art and science of evolving ecologies, or containers, or communities, or contexts or structures that can hold individuals and groups in this uncapped balance for a time, until we learn to do without and become our own homeopathic drop in the ocean of humanity.
