Engaging inner work is the modern hero’s journey, and it manifests a life blessed with meaning. DENNIS ARCHAMBAULT
Actions may speak louder than words, but motives have even greater volume, though they whisper.
Some say we should simply examine our motives and make adjustments if we want to improve ourselves. But this is far too shallow approach to transformation. We must not merely examine discrete, isolated motives as if they could be eradicated one by one like the occasional flies that make it into the house. No, we must scrutinize the house we are living in and see whether or not the foundation itself is crumbling, creating cracks that let allow all the flies in and is perhaps reaching a level where partial or total collapse is inevitable.
Like the proverbial frog in the slowly boiling pot of water, we are inherently unaware of the increasing danger of allowing ourselves to remain still while our surroundings penetrate and destroy us. The frog feasts on those flies that are coming in the house and thinks he is safe, but the water temperature is still rising and will eventually kill the distracted frog – if the entire house doesn’t crush it first.
The only solution is a radical change – a revolutionary overhaul in the way we think and live. This is what the Greeks called metanoia. That word means literally, beyond thought – and that’s exactly where we are going to go today in our quest for transformation.
