"WHO I HAVE BECOME IS NOW WHO I AM"

Question: "How do we maintain the level of awareness necessary to commit to non-habitual ways of thinking and acting throughout our day, and how do we convey this to our students?"

Answer: A workshop about Meeting Yourself, Being Yourself based upon who you have become, and not who you were, with practical exercises and group work using one's hands to convey this possibility.

When people meet each other for the first time, they generally share experiences and stories associated with their experiences. These stories have helped shape who they have become. However, when someone introduces him or herself to another person, invariably they use themselves to describe their experience in the same way they did when they had their initial experience.

In other words they introduce who they were, rather than who they have become, which is actually who they are.

For one to introduce oneself to another, or to re-meet oneself as the day unfolds, one needs to acknowledge what they have learned, and how that learning has shaped them. That way, you are always moving forward in learning, meeting another, or re-meeting yourself based upon who you have become. In this manner there is always authenticity to the moment.

So... what if one were to began each day and move through each day with these thoughts in mind?

Have I shown up this morning certain of who I am,

fully satisfied and comfortable in my knowledge,

insight and understanding

OR...

to divest myself of habitual thinking,

have I shown up with horizon all around,

my heart and mind a blank page

to write that which I never thought or anticipated

I could perceive or understand,

allowing myself to be informed by

and redefined by experiences I will surely have?

For change to actualize,

I need to experience that moment of highest tension

between what I hold to be true and what truth holds for me,    
what might be the truth I've never seen

and at that moment

 let go of all I feel the need to hold onto,

and merge, meld, fall

and enter completely into the moment surfacing.

For me,

change takes place when I see things for what they truly are,

or seem to be,

and not what I need for them to be.

Then I let myself be moved by what I see,

and I am changed.

And I become the man,
And I become the woman
I become.

And, when I introduce myself to the next person I meet,
I will introduce myself to them as who I have become
and not who I used to be.
For who I have become is now who I am.

I am present

for now anyway,

until I show up again with horizon all around,

eager for the blank page.

"Qui je suis devenu, c'est qui je suis maintenant"
Stage avec Tommy Thompson
12-13 avril 2008
séances individuelles les lundi 14 et mardi 15 avril 2008
Thème et descriptif
Question: Comment pouvons-nous maintenir tout au long de notre journée un niveau de
conscience nous permettant de nous engager dans des chemins de pensées et d'actions
inhabituelles, et comment pouvons-nous transmettre cela à nos élèves?
Réponse: Un stage dans lequel il s'agit de vous rencontrer vous-mêmes, d'être vous-mêmes,
en se basant sur qui vous êtes devenus, et non pas qui vous étiez. Le stage comprend des
exercices pratiques et du travail de groupe dans lequel on utilise ses mains pour
communiquer cette possibilité.
Lorsque des personnes se rencontrent pour la première fois, elles partagent généralement
des expériences et des histoires associées à leurs expériences. Ces histoires ont contribué à
façonner qui elles sont devenues. Cependant, lorsqu'une personne se présente ainsi à une
autre, elle s'utilise, pour décrire ses expériences, invariablement de la même manière qu'au
moment où elle a vécu l'expérience dont elle parle.
En d'autres termes, elle présente qui elle était, plutôt que qui elle est devenue et donc qui
elle est vraiment.
Afin de pouvoir se présenter à quelqu'un d'autre, ou pour se re-rencontrer tout au long de la
journée, nous avons chacun besoin de reconnaître ce que nous avons appris, et comment
cet apprentissage nous a façonné. De cette manière, on progresse toujours dans
l'apprentissage, en rencontrant quelqu'un, ou en se re-rencontrant, tout en se basant sur qui
l'on est devenu. Ainsi, le moment est toujours authentique.
