Synopsis
To play the game, to dance the dance, to know what it means to be really alive…you need partners. I need You. In the Information Age, everyone is an It, an abstraction. The World of It is a hollow, lonely place when it is the only place you know. Shadows walk among shadows. Every thing and every one is objectified and converted into information to be quantified, labeled, organized, processed, and used. But we are not victims. It is something we do to each other...and ourselves…. willingly, though often unwittingly. That all changes when I Meet You with my whole being. There we resonate together in objectless awareness and arouse our vast untapped potential: opening to spiritual awakening and expanded consciousness. Finding You in a World of It is a “mental kung-fu” that helps you move from idea to action in the most effective way. It provides a detailed map to get you out of your head and fully into to the game. This practice applies in everything we do, and is a powerful means to: • Overcome fear and anxiety • Calm and clear your mind with “Instant Meditation” • Achieve peak performance in sports, martial arts, work, music, dance, public speaking…anything you choose to do • Know true and unconditional love • Deepen and strengthen relationships of all kinds and • Feel truly and exuberantly ALIVE!
