On Revelations

There are myriad forms of revelation that are relevant to our work as coaches and transformational facilitators.

The first is where we elect, within appropriately calibrated boundaries and with only the intention of inspiring or activating our clients, to reveal dimensions of our own inner life and experiences, in solidarity to their courage, opening and expansion.

The second is where we become the field in which they allow their unconscious mind to reveal stories, memories, sensations, long buried fears and hurts so that, in our witness, these may unfold for healing and integration.

The third is where their strengths and life purpose begin to call them, revealing a path ahead and an opportunity for evolution or contribution that was heretofore invisible to their view. This last kind of revelation can be galvanizing and life changing when a client can be encouraged to receive and revere it as guidance.

Of course in group process there is the unfolding of revelatory conversations between members and the surfacing of shared themes. As coherence builds there is the wondrous revelation of the miracle field in which synchronicities and blessings start to present themselves including: Unexpected resources that one needs and another has to offer; "coincidences"; themes that touch many in the group as profound in their own lives; and a soft delicate mist of love that spreads underneath the overt action in the room and everyone's hearts.

The final dimension of revelation is more of a mystical thing. It cannot be summoned on command or taken for granted. The presence of this type is an act of Grace each time it occurs. It often reveals itself as the downloading of new and glistening intelligence from outside of space and time into the room. Like a window opening to Source. Such a moment is elevating in the heart and thrilling to the Soul, even as it is expansive to the entire field of potential for the individuals and the collective in parallel. These are essential moments. They are riveting and quickening. They come at unexpected junctures of ripeness and readiness.

As facilitators we can beckon them, welcome them, and invoke them. We can recognize them, yield to them and harvest them. We can refine ourselves to be more likely conduits to their arrival by becoming ever greater beacons of open-heartedness.
