Support and Accountability

Because you are stuck in the inertia of your beliefs, worldview, and daily life, you need the support and accountability of an external Sangha in addition to your internal one. While ideally any and everyone can play these roles, you are wise to seek out kindred spirits, those who understand and follow a path that includes interviewing self-aspects that are more evolved than they are.   Fellow IDL students and Practitioners are available to you for this purpose. Because Integral Deep Listening is about keeping you listening to and applying the recommendations of a diverse group of your own self-aspects, other students and Practitioners of IDL will not keep you stuck in one more limited system of belief.

Their job is to help you to be true to yourself and to the divine within you, not to IDL or one particular way of viewing life. This is a very rare and beautiful gift: to have the support and accountability of others who want nothing from you except to help you to become the best that you can be. Such support is priceless. it is important that you treat it with respect and demonstrate that you value it by taking your homework seriously, by keeping your meeting times, and by bartering or paying for the support you receive. By doing so you honor the parts of yourself that your IDL support system represents.
