Thanks for the honest sharing. This post has me thinking about how different our times are, which calls for different interpersonal skills that may or may not be what we had to lean on before. What would that look like for each of us to go through a radical inner transformation to better show up for our times? Where are we out of balance and what parts have we disowned in the efforts to survive past circumstances? As Jung said, our shadows are full of untapped potential and creativity. Any huge shift in society invites us to make radical shifts within ourselves, given the nature of mutual arising and our inherent interdependency with life systems.
For me, I think practicing more silence and pauses in conversations would be a transformational experience for me. Not needing to solely use my excitement and stimulation of ideas as fuel for conversation. Yet for you and the rest of the world, we each will have our own unique journey through that process.
