Good morning Jeff,
Feeling gladness as I read your e-mail, hearing your yearning for clarity. I have really missed your contributions around need of the day, missed authentic connection with you and acknowledgement from you!
I am smiling at the thought of me stepping into Barbara's shoes as need facilitator and realizing it is just 12 months ago that I was introduced to NVC.
As I have already said from the beginning , word of the week has nothing to do with deep diving need of the day. Word of the week is my reply to people who requested more time to experience connection with need of the day and also to move the level on connection to heart centered reflection from more people.
Right now I am aware that more resistance and confusion has shown up for everybody, I feel a sadness that what I am trying to bring focus to in the practice of NVC is reflecting with such resistance, I am feeling like I am back in the room with the conversation about Air Conditioning, experiencing frustration and sadness that a precious gift such as the essence of NVC , that which is alive inside the heart, can get buried under fear and resistance to speak truthfully.
NVC is, to me a way of being every day not just once in a while, Community , group , call it what you will, is about constant connection for me, I miss the daily engagement of need of the day, that was my life line that helped me to grow,
I am really sad as I begin to experience a great resistance to my intent to bring clear focus to the essence , the sense of empathy , of heart to heart connection, awareness of the very thing that is alive inside all of us in this world.
"What is alive in me" is the deep longing to contribute to humanity from a place of empowerment,
I am aware of how foreign that has been in me, I am a product of a Patriarchal system, a system dominated by humans of Immature Masculine Energy, " Should Mentality". I am guessing empowerment comes from the Mature Masculine, Mature Feminine, " what is alive for me " is my yearning to engage people of empowerment ,
I am wanting to hear the raising of consciousness , the
Raising of vibration, connection to authentic heart, NVC,what ever resonates for you , I am guessing people regard me as a pushy outside the box Lunatic right now, that is who I really am , that lives in me , not needing fixing or changing,
On this Sunday morning I am present to resistance to move forward with my intention of concentrated focus on "what is alive in me" within this group, IIT June Albuquerque .
I now formally with draw my intention, and bring that energy to another place, appreciating the growth I have experienced in your company,
Thanks very much,
Michael.
