By Jennie Marlow It’s been two years, and yet I am still receiving podcast requests from those who attended the chat that I and Peter Matthies, Founder of the Conscious Business Institute, gave in March 2008, before the economy collapsed. In this chat, I offered an historical context for economic systems and propose a practical, [...] By Jennie Marlow Question: Help me with the word fear. For me, the word has come to mean awe. Or a verb, an arrow pointing me to the unknown, a place of resistance sometimes, and a trusting that an opening will occur. Fear is a painful emotion caused by our perception that something bad is about [...] By Jennie Marlow How we deal with life can look a lot like that old Monty Python sketch called, “The Fish Slapping Dance.” We really do think we are so clever as we dance around our fears and issues, playing at confronting them, prancing to-and-fro, kidding ourselves into thinking we are really doing something—really getting [...] By Jennie Marlow The term unaware can be used to describe something unconscious, however, unaware can also mean that we simply do not have the means to know something. For example (while not strictly true), we could say that before 1492, people were unaware that the Earth is round, but you wouldn’t say they were unconscious of it.

It seems such a basic thing, to rest, rejuvenate and relax. To be. Like everything else one [...] By Jennie Marlow No, I didn’t misspell it. And yes, it’s a very big game that largely goes unnoticed because it happens, not in a coliseum, but in the field of consciousness, within the arena of living the transformative life. It is surely human to strive for a goal, to seek supremacy in the outer world, [...] By Jennie Marlow “I know it’s a big, DUH!” said my friend. “There is almost no pain when I am being authentic to my own needs and feelings.” It was so well-put, I felt compelled to share it with a little commentary on why this is vital to living well when we are facing big [...] By Jennie Marlow In the article in our Tools section, entitled Vision, Spotted Eagle explores the principles that distinguish vision from fantasy and goals. Here is an excerpt: “Vision is not about envisioning the future. Vision does not foretell; it does not predict the form the future will take or what the outcome of an endeavor [...] By Jennie Marlow In my last post, Vision That Serves Us, I describe ways we might put our vision in service of what is practical. In this post, I’ll begin a discussion about our motivation for what we desire, and how this can dramatically alter our approach to creating our lives and how effective we [...] |
