Which Part of Your I is Tired?
Gaurav: So physically probably I am burnout. Mentally I am stressed and emotionally, I might be experiencing kind of drained out and I can fine. Define how to define this I?
Leon: We often get confused between what’s the I that’s tired and the I that’s perhaps that which never gets tired. And I noticed that in myself, that when I start to feel fatigue, and the mental illness comes on some stress. Sometimes there’s some emotionality in there, too. You know, it can come naturally with those kinds of dips. That if I just take the time, which I know I need to do, it’s just about self care very often returning to that state of groundedness in myself, when I do that, when I take that time, and I literally just sit there and can say, how am I doing? And I inquire within to that place in the self, how am I doing? And very much it’s just the spark of life is just going. It is telling me I am well, thank you for inquiring.
So what part of me is asking, I don’t really pay attention to that. There’s just the spark that says the I is well. But temporarily, there’s this glitch in the more physical 3d-ness of myself, that needs to be attended to so that that part of me feels as good as the inner spark.
Can A 5-year Old Understand ‘Being’?
Gaurav: You do a lot of work in deep transformation. You do a lot of work with leaders and coaches, and facilitate a journey for them where they can actually tap into their being. You’re an author of a book called A Shift in Being as well, thought and practices of deep transformation. If you were to define this term called Being to a five year old child, how would you define them? Because I struggle to define and explain the simple term called Being.
Leon: I read once that I won’t take credit for it, someone said, to explain to a five year old, you simply say it’s who you are, when no one’s watching. And the five year old can get a sense. When no one’s watching, when mom and dad are around grandparents and around, who am I in that moment, it’s just a sense of guilt that, but that’s not just for a five year old. That’s a wonderful way to explain a sense of being to people at any age, even adults with Who are you in that moment, the sense of self when no one and I mean, no one appears to be watching in any form.
Okay, because this is a quality of selfhood that is very difficult to put words to, I was actually working with a translator recently for the book into Portuguese. And the primary challenge he said that they have at the very beginning of the translation is that in Portuguese, there is no term for beingness and way of being.
And I thought, that’s fascinating, because in English, we just take it for granted, way of being might not be common, but when we sort of talk about presence and ways of being people readily after struggling, yeah, you know, I grasp what this is pointing to.
At some point in our lives, we have all had to make drastic changes to accommodate a new way of life.Some express increased anxiety or concern about their financial well-being or professional goals in the future.
Several people have expressed feelings of loneliness and isolation, as well as some form of existential crisis, and have questioned whether their loneliness was not masked by their daily interactions with other people.If you find yourself in any of the aforementioned camps, take heart in the fact that you are far from alone.
There is a collective unconscious that guides us all, more often than not in similar ways.Perhaps there is a silver lining to all of this lunacy.How closely do your beliefs correspond to those of others in society?
What, if anything, unites people within a society?
How do you develop an understanding of yourself as more than an individual, but as a member of a larger society?
A theory of collective consciousness provides an explanation for such questions.
