Listening to a podcast by actualised on The big picture of Personal development

This was a fantastic summary and I need to go through it again making notes. I didn’t agree with his final statement that we have the capacity to know everything. Also, I noticed that he forgot something that feels, to me, a fundamental reason for personal development. Long standing species, such as a bee, has an optimal grip on being a bee as an agent in its arena. Humans, however, are not in harmony with their environment and therefore unsustainable.

Meaning crisis Study group

• Focus on existential inertia and gnosis.

  • Using psycho technologies (context) along with a higher state of consciousness
  • Activates and transform perspectival and participatory knowing, optimal grip on reality
  • Liberates from existential entrapment (stuck / stupefied)

• This was a fascinating discussion group and seemed really related to the conversation I had just before. I loved the description in existential inertia as this was a state I felt so strongly in the building towards my company exit. One could look at the exit process both as inflicted and self-inflicted, and to a greater extent the battle against change would have been a tricky one and therefore not really inert. However, I really related to this state as the need to understand what I would lose and miss out on was so great and unknowable. I wished that one of the coaches/therapists had role-played this scenario with me.

• There was a new guy on the group called Tim of whom I connected, meeting him with a similar level of energy, enthusiasm and pace.

Chat with course member

• I had some fears with how people may perceive me as having organized a course group social with no one turning up. I also decided to just allow it and not waste energy on such a thought. Someone did turn up halfway through the announced time. I chose to completely look over any thought I may have had in what that person may have thought about joining lonely me.
• We had a fab discussion, talking about our experience in the lead up to the course and during our first few days.
• A running theme of the conversation included the benefits of the course over simply self study. We both agreed that now was the time, and putting it off would simply lead to not being as deep the following year regardless of continuing the course or not. Also that we appreciated the aspect of play within the thematic seminars as something we all need more in life.
• I felt I got a little closer to the student with keen interest to continue pushing for more connection.
