Ancient Child Evolution
Ancient Child Evolution
About twenty-five years ago I adapted
Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey
to the process of designing your life.
And called it “Lifewriting.” Since
that time I’ve taught Lifewriting to
thousands of people in person and
through audio and video courses,
lectured on it at the Smithsonian, at
Mensa, on radio and television, at
universities and workshops, and
have been blessed to receive countless
letters and emails and hugs and
tearful thanks that the technologies
I grouped into that very special
pattern have changed and saved
lives.
But there was a limitation to “Lifewriting”,
something I always saw but wasn’t
wise enough to improve. You see,
the limitation (I won’t call it a “problem”)
was that it was a mental technique,
a strategic syntax for organizing
resources into an optimal pattern.
It works, no doubt about it.
But...the greatest path in human
life is that of evolution, of awakening,
of becoming an “awakened adult”,
and my great spiritual teacher Sri
Chinmoy taught that that path can
be approached by opening your
heart OR awakening your body…
but never by creating mental models.
That was what I’d done, created
a wonderful mental model. That
meant that it was great for navigating
“the dream”, but not so much for
going beyond. What I needed was
something that did both. Having
a great time in consensus reality
is no mean feat. I may consider
that just the beginning, but it’s
nice to pay the bills, be popular,
win athletic awards and all that
good stuff.
But...it’s just the beginning.
What I needed was something
that rooted there but went way
beyond. That healed but also
supported growth. That was
simple, very simple--or rather
that was “complex” rather than
“complicated.”
In essence, something that was
smarter than I was. And I couldn’t
“create” such a thing. But began
opening myself to the possibility.
Going more deeply into my
own process, listening to what
every teacher or student taught me.
And spent time every day for over
a decade going “into the silence”
to find something deeper and truer.
And the seed came. I was the
beginning of the “Ancient Child”.
Yesterday, I created the overview
audio explaining exactly how it
grew, and how to use it.
Tomorrow, I create the visualization
that will root this in healing your
heart, and move from THERE to
loving self and others...and then
re-discovering your deepest
dreams and values...tapping
into your intuition on a level you’ve
never experienced...and using
all of this to support your daily
actions so that they have a power
and clarity that will carry you
as far as you are capable, in
alignment with everything good
and true within you.
It is my very best work, applicable
to every core aspect of human
life. Generative, rather than
specific. I did not “create it”,
I merely let my teachers,
experiences and meditations
point me toward greater truth.
And it is almost available.
I can’t wait to share it.
Namaste,

An Ancient Gesture Edna St Vincent Millay
An Ancient Gesture Edna St Vincent Millay
(Poem #1827) An Ancient Gesture I thought, as I wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron: Penelope did this too. And more than once: you can't keep weaving all day And undoing it all through the night; Your arms get tired, and the back of your neck gets tight; And along towards morning, when you think it will never be light, And your husband has been gone, and you don't know where, for years, Suddenly you burst into tears; There is simply nothing else to do. And I thought, as I wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron: This is an ancient gesture, authentic, Greek; Ulysses did this too. But only as a gesture - a gesture which implied To the assembled throng that he was much too moved to speak. He learned it from Penelope... Penelope, who really cried. |
I've been reading a lot of Millay recently, trying to figure out precisely what it is I find so compelling about her poetry. She's moved, in a remarkably few years, from someone I'd barely heard of to my favourite poet after Kipling - indeed, I think my primary wonder nowadays is not that I like her so much, but that it took me so long to discover her. Part of it, I think, is that (again, like Kipling), almost all of her work appeals to me. Contrast this with, say, Keats - at his best he is unutterably brilliant, but those poems that are *not* among his best give me very little pleasure; I don't think I could spend an afternoon randomly dipping into his work. Millay, on the other hand is delightful (I hesitate to use as objective a word as 'good' here, because this is definitely a personal thing) all the way through, from deservedly famous gems like her Sonnet XLIII (Poem #590; I'd rank it up there with anything Shakespeare wrote) to minor pieces like "Grown Up" (Poem #817). Today's poem is a good case in point - I wouldn't ever expect to see it in a "Best Poems" anthology, but I'd be totally unsurprised at its inclusion in someone's "Favourite Poems" collection[1]. It has that typically Millay combination of beauty and unexpectedness, combined with such perfect timing that your breath catches at the end, and such precise imagery that lines continue to haunt you long after the rest of the poem has faded. martin [1] and indeed, a quick google search brings up [broken link] http://katebenedict.com/LectioMillay.htm [Links] Wikipedia on Millay: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edna_St._Vincent_Millay Ulysses and Penelope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penelope An interesting companion piece is Dorothy Parker's "Penelope": http://www.poemhunter.com/p/m/poem.asp?poet=6640&poem=52488
