How do you connect with others?
? Who decides how we connect with others?
? What attracts you to others?
? What attracts them to you?
When we were young, we were domesticated. This is a term used in the book “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz. Bypassing the deep dive, this is the reality that was imposed on us by our parents, family, friends, teachers, and other authority figures in our life. Our ability to survive was dependent on how compliant we were. Our friends and connections were chosen for us as this was our modus operandi as we grew up.
Now, fast forward to our school years and our teenage years. What about our connections then? Who were our friends? What groups did you join? Were you a jock, cheerleader, debater, musician, chess player, or a member of the computer club? How did we discover these opportunities?
Awareness of Energy
There is Truth to “Vibe with Your Tribe”
Along the path of spiritual awakening, there can be a tendency to drift along and “go with the flow” to see what shakes out when it comes to our relationships. We welcome those who resonate with us and tend to dismiss those who don’t share our learnings.
? While this can be comfortable in the moment, does it promote our mission as spiritual beings in a physical plane of reality?
? Does it attract others to seek answers for themselves?
? Does it matter?
Most of you know I was raised in an evangelical, conservative, fundamentalist church. I heard numerous sermons (yes, a lot were fire and brimstone). I was the youngster drawing battlefields on paper with one ear towards the preacher. I always picked up on what I believed were theological inconsistencies and asked the tough questions, much to the chagrin of some of the elders (story for another time).
Two things which spoke to me, even at an early age, were admonitions:
Connecting as an Adult
Let’s bring this full circle. Whether you were raised in a certain religion or cult, the spiritual journey can be a challenge. The preachers I heard always stated there was a “God-sized” hole in our heart. When I hear that now, I realize this is a description of the missing piece that is a part of the human experience. People seek connection to assist in their understanding and connection with others.
The last three years of chaos (created by humans) has been a double-edged sword, and it has opened the door to awakening for many people. Perhaps it is just me and my journey, but I have met more people seeking deep connections than I ever have in my lifetime. Perhaps I was ready, perhaps it was accelerated as the constructs fed to us over our lifetime began to crumble.

1 年So often these days we meet digitally and the first question could be: How do they talk about and to people that are not of any immediate or obvious use to them? So simple, so revealing…

1 年Well that’s daring of you Dan. In my experience, ‘Seeking deep connections’ or soulfulness or significance are not usually ‘corporate speak’ and yet belonging is what we crave. It seems to me the last 3 years has, for many businesse leaders, created anxiety. My inner circle meets weekly simply to connect. To mastermind ‘life’. Great post. To bring the pressure down.
Well - I would be seriously bad at my work if I couldn't connect in there - and horses not just may or may not come to you - but, from 20' away can tell if you are nervous and what sort of nervous you are .......... Which is always an interesting aspect when some people say that animals love them and come into the barn - or that animals dislike them and come into the barn ?? But, I have always been rather taken with the "too heavenly minded to be any earthly good" quote as it was one of my Grandmas favourite sayings - and I guess my dad and then I didn't fall too far from that particular tree! ??

1 年I find that when my energy is higher, animals that don't go to anyone, come to me ??Dan Goodwin, CYA Consulting - ????. I am working to really and listen to my intuition, but I do notice others energy right away by using the tips to watch out for above. I may not feel their energy myself, but I can see their energy.
