[A general write-up for the inquiry groups lives here. The prerequisite for participating in these groups is The Art of Inner Communication.]
While there will be time & space to bring any inquiry you are working with to the sessions, at least some of the pointers from Megan & Chris during this round of groups will be specifically about working with the inquiry: how do I serve?
One of the features of the current moment is the large amount of anxiety in practitioners about the nature of their relationship to “the world.” Unsurprisingly, it is quite easy (contagious?) to become identified or blended in our relationship to systems (be they familial or social/political/collective). What does this mean in practice?
It means that the dimension of true nature that expresses itself “as and through” service becomes blended with the fixations and unprocessed fears of the personality structure.
In practice, this often feels like “trying to figure out what I should do to help xxxx situation.”
As the ego-structure is not supposed to be responsible for guiding us in such deep waters, it is invariably confused about what it should be doing. This energetic confusion both attracts - and makes us vulnerable to - other people’s (often equally confused) strategies and answers. To make matters worse, these strategies and answers often come in the form of polemics and arguments which are either explicitly or subtly manipulative.
Somewhat like an addictive disorder, “adopting” one of these strategies feels good for a while, as it provides us with an outlet for our energy. But, because essence is still not being heard, connected with, or consulted, whatever strategy we chose has a flimsy, “house of cards” quality that we cannot get past. It has no roots in the heart! And therefore, it has no true staying power.
What we want - what we long for as beings - is to know precisely how this vehicle we are in is meant to serve the manifest world! And the true intuitive information that is there waiting for us around this issue will never be generic. While it may make use of sources of inspiration outside of us, what it wants to reveal is a signature way of serving that is ours alone.
When discovered, the feeling is something like, “even if I knew everyone and everything were going to be obliterated tomorrow, I would still do xxx (or I would still express my life-force in xxx way).”
It is the furthest thing from a mental position or an argument about reality you can imagine. It is “so of itself.” It is just what this particular being (“me”) does when it is connected to its core, natural functioning.
It is this level of inquiry - and only this level - that brings anxieties about our right relationship to others and the planet to rest.
