A major distinction we can make in this work is "doing vs. being".
Essentially, we spend 99% of our days "doing" stuff.
And this isn’t just about physical activity: thinking and planning are also forms of doing. Even "trying to be" is ironically a form of doing.
Nearly all this "doing" is driven by self-survival, which in turn leads to suffering and a lack of clarity.
In Consciousness Work, even though we recognize the pervasiveness of our primitive self-survival reflexes, we also try to expand our scope beyond that.
And there are two directions to do this:
1) Leaning toward more "being". This is the goal of our Being Complete workshop.
or
Basking in pure being forever would be nice. But since we'll keep "doing" things until we die, we might as well remove as much BS from this as we can, and focus on how to do stuff in the most conscious way possible.
The main tool we recommend to achieve that is to follow Principles.
Our 6hr Principles workshop held on March 21 (next saturday) has been crafted to address this precise issue. When you align with Principles:
- You know where you're going
- You stop fighting yourself
- You realize you may not be as stuck as you thought
- You stop leaking energy on things that don't matter
and more good stuff. See you there :)
