The 5th of the 4 Toltec Agreements come to heart 'listen but be sceptical'! Really enjoyed the video link and the questions you pose afterwards. Very timely here as I am invited to present my 'platform' as part of a book proposal to potential literary agents. It's paradoxical and ironic, but I wonder if 'community' isn't being used as a force for creating separation rather than communing within the context of the present moment?
Hi Lizzie, lovely to see your thoughts and thanks for taking the time to comment. I also really love that video as a joke well played is an art, one that i truly appreciate, especially as humor can be such a minefield in amongst the humorless
Good luck and blessings on your book proposal! I find it can be very hard not to get entangled with how I attach my self worth to public offerings so i hope that your connection to the work remains rich and juicy what ever the reception.
And I am thinking about community being a divisive force....i do believe that when rooted in scarcity it is, the scarcity mindset being so good for othering. I shall see how it goes with community i am part of. how we deal with our hunger and lack of. such powerful feelings.
