study of the i-ching and an integrally informed relationship to life
seem to go had in hand.
what do you think?
i loved this quote/article and was
amazed how much it brought me back to the lessons of the i-ching.
===========================================
“if we had evolved beyond ego to a significant degree,
how would that be reflected in our personal relationships
—with our sexual partners, with our friends, with our children,
with our bosses, with our colleagues?
In what way would it be demonstrated in our
organizations and our social structures?
How would it affect our relationship to our work, our creative potential,
our capacity for leadership and collaboration?
What impact would it have on
our relationship to our own bodies—our health and fitness?
The list could go on and on, and the implications are profound.
Of course, there have always been spiritual teachers
talking about many of these things
as a means to develop and attain higher potentials,
but what I’m talking about is something different.
I’m talking about using these concrete examples
as windows through which to discern
and dare I say judge the degree of an individual’s
or a collective’s actual attainment,
in such a way that has the potential for making
the usually intangible, inner,
subjective experience of enlightenment or
consciousness beyond ego
meaningful for our own times.”
