Harvard Developmental Psychologist Robert Kegan nails the essence of human development with this insight:

“The subject of one level of development becomes the object of the subject of the next level.”

In other words, what we think of as “us”: our thoughts, our sensations, our emotions, our history, our identity, is something that we can witness as well as enact, and as we do we grow.   This is a call to practice.   In meditation, for instance, we see a feeling, say anger, as an it or series of it’s.  Instead of my anger, just … anger, arising in my body/mind as a fabric of thoughts and sensations.   Not me, but mine.

Through transformational practice we enlarge the witness — by witnessing it! — and once again what was subject becomes object(s) to a new bigger Subject, which we can capitalize because it always feels holy.   And that new  bigger subject is You, a larger dimension of yourself, which is essential your self being liberated into more space and flow.   So now You’re more you than ever, except with less grip and friction, enabling an ever-increasing flow of love, creativity and power.

On a good day, at least!

So let’s have a good day on Sunday with some exploration and  practice.   Stuart Davis will be here to shine his light on the topic as well.
