Curing the Incurable

What the hell does that mean. "Be the question"

Recently I had the pleasure of running a Curing the Incurable class in Yandina. It was very strange class for me. I couldn't get my words out, I couldn't stay on track, I was jumping all over the place. So what is so new you ask. Yes that is true but this time for me there was no game plan in my head, everything seemed disjointed with lots of space. Nothing made sense to me. I told another facilitator all this who attended the class and she said it wasn't what I was saying it was what I was being that made the difference.

I was being question, I had no answers, no reference points, no bloody idea. Was it uncomfortable. You bet. Do I have a different perspective now? You bet!

I knew a very successful business man and he had an amazing transformation one day whilst attending a aboard meeting. The company was having difficulty and all the members of the board were wanting him to give them an answer. He told me he sat there for 20 minutes with out saying a word. he had no answers, no thoughts. After 20 minutes words just came out of him and the company was saved.

This man was willing to be the question, he was willing to be the leader, he was wiling to listen to his knowing and he was wiling to put every body in that room into question and not try to  fill the space with thoughts or talking.

Where have you tried to make people feel comfortable by filing the space or the silence. What if your very presence put people in to question?

Would you be willing to be that potent? That huge? Wold you be willing to receive all the judgment of every body in the room  and be the question?

Or is that a fantasy?

And that my friends is a question to wedge open the door to possibilities.

How much of your life is a fantasy?
