Unroll life
What are some things we might do in a conversation to unroll life?
• Address feelings, facts (5 Ws), tell a story, ask for help, tell the (hard) truth.
• From inside a conversation, how to unfold life? I like the idea of asking for help. It is counterintuitive that it would draw us together, but it does. At least if the person asked is of a giving nature: most are.
• Telling the hard truth: this is akin to stepping into the fire. What advice does Arnold Mindell offer? Seek trouble. This might be a good book to draw on for the course. p 191: “say the lowest most gruesome things and the highest most spiritual as well.”
• Say what the group seems to be doing. Say “ouch!” Remind us of something forgotten.
• So this can be a fruitful exercise, and there is no end in sight, only if we do not keep looking.
