Sangeeta: "Boil & Drink Belief Daily"


Inline image 1

Very often we aren't comfortable with our own presence, because we want to be some other place or shape or form...jumping inside, feeling leashed.

Sangeeta was "ease" on that Thursday afternoon. Being in-charge of corporate communications of a large communications company, she has been situated with meeting a lot of people...thousands of them.

While still at her ever expanding role, and exploding for the last two years ... paving the human minds and realizing its fragility has been her course of warm inquiry. She has been on a self-referential journey to discover human purpose and meaning. She would consistently spend time reviewing the performance of her day/week, and humbly taking up many daily tiny chores for physical fitness.

We sat down and began rearranging each other's minds. While we toured the topography of many a topics, one is what I would love to share...its around "belief".
She lighted the word "belief" with the candle of "why"...
...why do we believe what we believe?
...we believe because we collect, sieve and keep a set

...a set of information that is useful

...useful to survive...to thrive

...but is information constant?...

...answer is "no"...says science and scriptures alike so

...because we keep collecting dots of information and connecting lots of dots

...and hence constant review of one's belief is a must

...And when we transact in relations-society... we employ our "beliefs"

...beliefs (like humans) need constant training and upgradations.

...else its could be pink slip or blue mind or pale heart.

Sangeeta Chacko is an exemplar of inviting-practising mind-body-soul curriculum whilst still in the whirlpool of corporate life. She also believes that it would serve greater good in all scales of life, personal/professional/political, if people understood the colonization agenda of any belief inside every human.

Daily Tiny Act:
Take One Belief.
Dip it in warm inquiry. Let it boil for some time.
Add sweetness to it so that it doesn't get bitter and distances people.
Sip the outcome.

The William Forrester & Jamal Wallace in You

Image
A genius kid from low rung meets a prize winning recluse and both transform each other. Sixteen year old Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) gets an opportunity in a prestigious private school. School's hope pinned high on his basketball ability and not so much in anything else, Jamal accidentally encounters William Forrester (Sean Connery).  Forrester's tragedies in life rips him away from his success (Pulitzer Prize).In course of tutelage to deserving Jamal, Forrester gradually and accidentally kindles his own life. Jamal's talent (for writing) shines and how !!! "Awareness" is the proverbial Jamal here in each of us. It is at the low rung of our priorities and importance. We believe that everything else that awareness is able to do for us, our thinking-feeling-saying-doing, is more worthy of cultivation.  Epiphanies and deep longings and timeless wisdom are the proverbial Forresters in us. Once or few times, having had the grand success of tasting dee...

you are being drafted into a war. you don't even know it .even leaders don't ....

Time and again, us humans have been at war. We certainly do not go to war because one or both or multiple sides feels over-arching abundance.  We go to war because of reasons deeply rooted in lack or scarcity or the anticipation of it . These "lack" or "scarcity" are deeply entrenched in individuals and or groups. This write-up sets out to answer the following questions: How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is the war now? How are you Asymptomatic Carriers of Warlords, thus drafted in the war  already? How can you fight it better or cut-down your participation? And these can enable you into "situational leadership" position if you chose to.  https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/vietnam-draft-dodger   How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is drafting? When a community and or its organizing body or institution went for a war, there was either what is called voluntary participation for fight...

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.  Summary: There is the Black Lives Matter Movement sparked by murder. There is close-home Gangster-Encounter. And in some sense, all of us are involved in daily murders or encounters. At individual level. At inter-personal level. At inter-group level. And that is getting played out in heinous ways sometimes and we feel shocked. Thats because of our own blindspots and our own treadmills. Time for Justice 2.0  Discretion and Weaponization  aren't strange bed-fellows. Some theorists in evolution, civilization, governance, organization structure and development and more would argue its need in society. And they would cite the inextricable need for going beyond process (the very "bureaucracy" that renders many a project ineffective or stalls innovation or "whatever it takes" scenarios). However, what one can surely argue is "is there an adaptive form of discretion and maladaptive forms of discretion?". How can one di...
