Friend
It's been a while (although sooner than my usual! LOL!) since my last newsletter—July 4th, to be exact—and I have been very busy and happily creating and discovering that quite a lot can happen when we keep turning the kaleidoscope!
First, I invite you to watch my July podcast/video, The Power of Willingness. Willingness teaches something deceptively simple: we don't have to know exactly where we're going before we take the next step. Willingness is the first step, and in some ways, every step that follows! It really kept me going while I finished up the Living Field Guide Series of six e-books: The Twelve+ Codes for Be~coming: Kaleidoscope 4 Be~coming: The Living Field Guide Series (Updated Edition)
This past month, while completing Living Field Guide Six, The Ever-Turning Kaleidoscope: Consideration, I developed a deeper understanding that Consideration isn't simply another Code. It is the overarching Code, and it does something different from the other twelve; it provides the means to keep the entire developmental process alive—to remain curious enough, humble enough, and psychologically flexible enough to look again, even at things we think we already know. To look again, and keep turning the kaleidoscope. This realization inspired me to add the "+" to the title of The Twelve+ Codes of the Evolutionary Trajectory.
Watch Wednesday's August episode, Power of Consideration: The Code of Codes, Welcome to the Temple of Be~coming. I am thrilled to announce and introduce the stunning and compelling 'immersive experience that my brother Jim, a digital artist, and I created. It introduces the twelve Archetypes and Codes in a way that brings them together into a meaningful experience beyond my wildest dreams.
You can watch the Temple of Be~coming video here. For seven minutes, I invite you to enter this circular temple illuminated by twelve pillars, each revealing one of the Archetypes of the Twelve Codes—the Phoenix, Ancient Tree, Warrior, Pilgrim, Conductor, Mirror, Kaleidoscope, Magician, Healer, Weaver, Circle, and Messenger. This video is a visual and contemplative journey through the developmental architecture of the evolutionary trajectory I've been exploring for many years.
One of the most exciting things about the Holy Work of Consciousness-Raising has always been discovering where it wants to lead next. As I continue working with the Kaleidoscope for Be~coming Better, Brighter, Wiser, and now increasingly discerning and considerate, I find myself wondering what another turn of the kaleidoscope will reveal.
And speaking of looking again... Hmm, is that a rabbit sitting at his desk, in the Living Library, with a kaleidoscope, just outside the twelve pillars?
Some of you have already met him. On July 29th, I introduced the Curator, keeper of the Living Library, in my blog post Happy July 29th: The Day of Miracles—Meet the Curator.
And tonight, I posted a new reflection, The Power of Consideration, exploring not only what we think, but how and why we think what we think—and why the willingness to look again may be one of the most important capacities we can cultivate.
Stay tuned. The adventures in Be~coming continue!
By all means, follow the rabbit... just don't forget to bring the kaleidoscope.
