“Light cannot enter a closed box; the upside of catastrophe can be an opening to a higher level of awareness. If life is viewed as a teacher, it then becomes just that. Unless the painful lessons of life with which we deal are transformed through humility into gateways of growth and development, they are wasted.”
David Hawkins, Author, Power vs Force
How have the challenges you’ve experienced in life been a good teacher? In what ways has this been transformative in terms of your growth and development?
Whether it's personal experience or formal education, I think teaching and learning are, in many respects, impenetrably mysterious. This is why I believe teaching will always be more of an art than a science.
Hi, Joshua. Interesting perspective for sure. I, for one, have always embraced mystery and paradox as a part of the learning process. Headed out shortly but will read the link you sent me once I’m at the Las Vegas coffeehouse I regularly frequent.
An incredible book that I keep going back to. Yes, once we have embraced letting go whilst remaining purposeful in everything we say and do, Life can take us to incredible places. I am just out of an emergency fundraising effort for the affected people in Morocco after the earthquake. It was one of the most intense, humbling and beautiful experiences I have ever lived.
Hey Deborah. That’s very cool to hear. I would love to compare notes with you about it sometime via WhatsApp. Thanks for chiming in and enjoy your week.
