The Six Word Narrative

Wake Up, Grow Up, Show Up


Wake Up. This is the means by which we recognize that we live in a larger context; that we're not isolated egos or monads having insulated experiences. We're part of a larger evolutionary context, and we all live as a seamless part of the universe.
Grow Up. This is the invitation to psychological maturity, to a higher consciousness. A personal willingness to "wake up" that is only seen through a singular lens means that we haven't really grown up to higher values, wider circles of love and compassion. We must continue to develop, to transform, to evolve.
Show Up. We all need to answer the two great questions: Who are you? and Are you willing to play a larger game? To answer these, we are bringing together the rich diversity of spiritual traditions, the best theories of psychology, systems theory, and evolutionary science to explore the ways that we are each irreducibly unique expressions of the love and intelligence that is the initiating energy of all that is. This energy lives in you and through you. Each of us has unique gifts, unique needs, unique tasks, unique circles of influence. This uniqueness, and our ability to tap into that and develop it, is the source of our power and aliveness and joy.

Becoming Perfect

The work of becoming perfect 
is more perfect 
than being perfect.

God is perfection 
that is always 
in need of
further perfecting

On Shadow

. . . S H A D O W . . .
Your story is your light. Your unlived light is shadow
You take part of your story -- part of the Unique Self that you're here to live that creates your joy -- and you put it in shadow. 
What have you done? 
You've taken a huge part of your energy and put it in darkness. 
You've lost the core of your life energy.
It's trapped in your unlived life.
~ Dr. Gafni

Where's the Codex hidden?

"All of us for dimensions of our lives have been a messenger who forgot his message, who forgot her message. But now we ask you to awaken to the realization that the message is actually encrypted, in the very cellular code of my being. 
That's where the Codex is hidden. 
That's where it is. It's in me. I am it, and it is me. 
I am an outrageous love letter. 
How am I going to awaken, and read, and proclaim, and enact 
that outrageous love letter in the world?"
