Excerpt from his book One Taste
SEED QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: How do you relate to the notion that you are in fact the entire world, in all its triumphs and tears? Can you share a personal story of a time a transformative shout roared from your heart? What helps you proceed carefully with your transformative shout?
My amen follows ... "With you, with me and our commitment to breathe ..."! To words that preceed this, I say "amen". Beyond this, the writer blurs the line seperating The Creator with the created! Not pleasing to this believer's ears.
God i am doing it every day all the way! Am so blessed that I'm in the midst of 18- 25 year old every wking moment. I am shouting from my heart and I can see the transformation happening.
YES! For someone who stuggles with vulnerability, this has been a great reminder. We all do have authentic gifts and can share the messages of love and compassion in ways that make sense to us. I feel so strongly about this and with that strength I too commit to making my pocket of ripples. The idea that it can be done by many in small circles soothes my feeling of paralysis. I hope my ripples will one day overlap with yours.
I love this powerful and poetic shout from Ken Wilber. It took me a long time to share my truth, initially timidly and then with less and less timidity, and eventually occasionally shouting. And I have slowly developed a disciplined sharing grounded in compassion, and when I do such I feel full and happy. I remind myself daily that I have the right, responsibility, and privilege to express my truth, and lately it's also become my pleasure. I am part of this world, part of one whole, and how I am affects the whole and vice versa. This is my truth, it has been transformative, and at times it expresses as a transformative shout roared from my heart. What helps me proceed carefully is knowing that there are dangers in this beautiful world, and I want to proceed in a way that contributes to healing and transformation and not be reckless or stupid and cut my own throat or cause hurt to anyone.
