Seeing True™ is a moment of epiphany that is so pronounced that subsequent changes in direction or behavior are dramatically altered for the better. The Greeks called this “metanoia,” which means "change of mind," though it might translate better today as “a profound change of heart.” In the Seeing True framework, we focus on transformation as the desired result, and forgiveness and relationships as the spaces in which we practice.
When I teach or talk about inherent innocence, invariably it agitates some folks so much that they get snarky, or even attack.

Read MoreHow do you hold an uncomfortable position on a rock wall when there is no clear next step? Knowing that the amount of time you can stay will be limited by fatigue? Unsure of whether to go right, or left, or up, or back because there is no obvious best option?
Read MoreOne thing we know to be sure about life is that it will NEVER go as planned, no matter how much we try to control it. However, we can certainly adapt to the changes that come with it. The question then becomes: why should we adapt?
