Are we like riders on the back of an elephant?
Is the elephant the sum total of our unconscious thoughts, wishes, and impulses, which we, the conscious rider, sometimes desperately, try to get control of so we can move in a chosen direction?
Jonathon Haidt likes that analogy. In his book, the Happiness Hypothesis: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times, he uses it to describe why we often find doing ourselves doing other than what we consciously want to do.
Join our free Artists of Life Inspiration Telecircle for women, Tuesday night from 7-8 p.m. EST, to discuss the elephant and rider analogy and to explore ways to more gently and fluently unfold your deepest dreams for your life.
Perhaps there are ways—simple ways—to bypass what seems like a divided personal mind and align beautifully with the intelligent energy behind all of creation!
Email me today for the call-in information for the TeleCircle! I invite you to be a part of the energy of wisdom so evident in this beautiful circle of women. From a spirit of support, harmony and love, I know we can all find insights for being artists of life!
