Dear colleagues,
I am somewhat reluctant to offer up this thought because it goes counter, or
at least somewhat against the grain, of the thrust of the discussion on
"needing a day of rest after conducting an OS". Nonetheless, perhaps it has some
truth in it, even if many of you aren't experiencing it.
One of my life teachers was a man, a mining engineer from South Africa. One
of the finest, deepest minds on philosophy, psychology and general spiritual
awareness I have been blessed to have known. It was his contention that if
we feel tired after leading an event, and needed time to 'recover', it was
because We (ego) were trying to do it, and not letting spirit do the work. Not
fully surrendering to the now, without attachment to outcome. Our anxiety about
outcome produced the exhaustion. His contention was that we should be
feeling exhilarated, infused, energized by an event where spirit was in charge and
being released, most especially in the workplace. It seems to me that OS is
about as close to 'letting spirit do it' as I've experienced. Why, then, is
the circle opener (convenor?) tired? Just something I've been pondering.
Sincerely,
Paul Everett
