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.

Hermetically Sealed?

Unbounded Realization?

Unbounded Realization?

If there is a single factor which underlies my practices across time and across fields of play, it is the realization of potential. As long as I can remember, ideas about our ability to learn and grow have captivated me. I imagine the best description is that it is a “calling.”

Speaking True: The Things That Drive Us Crazy

Speaking True: The Things That Drive Us Crazy

Seeing differently changes our relationship to something. I don't know if we can change the world, but we absolutely can change our perspective and relationship to the world, and that changes everything.

Speaking True: The Special Relationship

Emotional or Psychological Upsets?

Emotional or Psychological Upsets?

This idea of emotional sobriety is so easily misunderstood. While it emerged from the twelve-step recovery community, it’s gained much wider adoption in our culture, which includes the misunderstandings.

Speaking True: Language of the Heart

There is a great phrase in the recovery communities and they call it the “language of the heart. " It is when we set aside a lot of the superficial things that many of us spend our time in: the small talk and all those things.

"What are you longing for?"

Or it's variation from James Hol
"And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?

I did.

And what did you want?

To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth."

Continuing to appreciate these beautiful images emerging from peeling paint and rust ... beauty out of decay is such a powerful metaphor for life and living. It doesn't deny destruction, rather it finds beauty amid it.
These wire mesh sculptures, Invisible Laura and Invisibile Rui Rui  by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, urge us into the Silence and the Stillness to be found there.(Full story at https://mymodernmet.com/jaume-plensa-la-llotja/)

Breakdown must precede breakthrough. 

It is only when we arrive at what the rooms of recovery call "rock bottom," that we become willing to seek an alternative. Malcolm Gladwell called that moment a "tipping point," a transition

There is so very much in which to be embraced.
