You are asleep, dreaming, sleepwalking, lost in the drama of your life script and trapped in identification with the perceptual reality of your physical, emotional, and mental filters. You wake up as you ask, “Is this a dream?” see everything as a wake-up call, reframe your cognitive distortions, and act on your priorities today, moving you from delusion and mental fuzziness to clarity and thence to luminosity, cosmic humor, and abundance.
You are addicted to the past and future. You move into the here and now as you name the contents of your mind, stop monkeying around in the five trees (thoughts, feelings, imagery, sensations, and states), and become the core processes and qualities of the round of your breath, moving you from personalization to cosmic humor, abundance, and luminosity.
You have lost your way. You find and follow your inner compass as you remember, become, and deeply listen to emerging potentials and act on their recommendations today, integrating your inner and outer worlds and moving you from fear-based scarcity to trust-based abundance, luminosity, and cosmic humor.
Much of what you will find on this site is designed to “unpack” what you have just read. But to summarize, you have an inner compass. You can find and follow it by learning to interview emerging potentials that show up as characters in your dreams and as your life challenges. When you do so, you heal, balance, and transform your life.
Integral Deep Listening heals, balances, and transforms your life by showing you how easy and fun it is to listen to those parts of yourself that are not stuck in suffering and to make them allies in building a life without drama.
Integral Deep Listening is integral because it addresses your physical, mental, emotional, interpersonal, financial, and spiritual concerns. It is deep listening because it does not confuse the type of attention we pay to our ordinary thoughts and feelings with listening to our larger, diamond-faceted self.
Integral Deep Listening is a form of Dream Yoga. Learn more about Dream Yoga at http://www.DreamYoga.com
Centuries ago, Confucius described the basic concept that IDL attempts to awaken in humanity:
If there be righteousness
in the heart,
there will be beauty
in the character.
If there be beauty
in the character,
there will be harmony
in the home.
If there be harmony in the home,
there will be order
in the nation.
If there be order
in the nation,
there will be peace
in the world.
