Like any good mother, her desire was to have her child grow bright and bold, and to be full of good humor and wit, and to be generous and courageous and kind.

For, being such, how could anyone not have the most beautiful story?

After all, what is the code and concept of life, of living, of humanity, if it is not to find one's calling and to have that calling be greater than one's self; if it is not to pursue that calling and complete it with joyous self-respect?

_ Neville

SERMONS across TRADITIONS

The Language Nobles Speak

Collaborate. Create. Celebrate. Learning as we go, growth is an exciting ongoing experience. Inspiration is everywhere - nurturing us. Extraordinary new births of excellence bloom within and around us. Elements of 'Leadership Beyond The Hero' - a superforce, sharp and superb - bolster us. You're welcome.

There are two ways to be fooled.
One is to believe what isn't true;
the other is to refuse to believe what is true.

- Soren Kierkegaard

See that star? "You mean the bright red one?" his daughter asks in return. Yes, you know it might not be there anymore. It might be gone by now. Exploded, or something! Its light is still crossing space just reaching our eyes now, but we don't see it as it is; we see it as it was. . . The immense distances to the stars and the galaxies mean that we see everything in space in the past, some as they were before the earth came to be.

_Carl Sagan

Perhaps you arose with a celebratory burst: a blood-rushing sparkle, a grand gesture of appreciation for this new day. Or you entered today gracefully. Quiet. Resolute. Feeling able and available. Ahhh! Or grateful: alive with crisp anticipation. Welcome. Trust you're creating an awesome day.

We may have been told by someone with our best interest at heart that life as we experience it is coded in the language we express. "Watch what you say," they advise us. Whether the assertion withstands the strictest scrutiny is not the point of today's uncovering Beyond The Hero. Even so, perhaps you do not wrestle with that presumption nor require neuroscience for a validation, because your wealth of experience has confirmed it to you.

Even if not, circuitously at least, one might nod in tacit agreement with or at acceptance of the presumption, especially if one acknowledges experiencing the uncanny power of belief, and-or the cordoning role of values, and-or the mysterious efficacy of certain utterances.

A close friend recently called to inform me her mom - a noble mother-figure to many of us growing up - had just passed. Her mother and I had not so long ago extended greetings by way of this dear friend, and I had no reason to anticipate this news. In course of comforting each other and of absorbing my friend's superb wisdom in the moment, I inquired the cause. My friend, who I have known since our days of cutting teeth, as it were, said, "Well, you know, she passed of the word we do not speak."

I had no idea what that word is, and it is my tendency to avoid unnecessary speculation. i did not know what to say or how to respond. I left it alone. A few moments later the opportunity came again. I was hopeful for some better understanding, for she was discussing her last conversation with her mom. Again, she explained that her mother knew her time had come and that she would succomb of the word we do not speak. I left well alone.

I am aware, however, of many words many of us speak in normal course seemingly confident of their innate power. Let us for this purpose single out a few such words: character, responsibility, accountability, belonging, love, honor, respect, performance, ability, bond.

We have a sense of some gravity in each of these words, especially by dint of their positioning or their circumstance or the stature of their users. Let's for the purpose of this example lift the covering on these word-samples, and weigh each privately. Let us also make a huge leap (for convenience sake only) and allow these particular words to be spoken in course by let's say group x and group y. Here is what we've uncovered:

When group x speak these, the gravity of each word, by whatever mechanism or stricture, is one of patronage, of dependence, of dominion, of positioning, of circumspect.

When group y speak these, the gravity or each word, by whatever absorption, is one of dignitiy, nobility, divinity, sovereignty, fellowship. camaraderie.

In other words, these two groups use the same words but do not speak the same language. And may have litterally no natural base of understanding where the other is coming from, for the rhythms of their lives are by such noted means and those methods habitually coordinated.

For one group, the building of bonds require enormous energy; bonding is hard; it is earned; it has to be put together by pact; the right alchemy is required for its sustenance; its glue requires meticulous attention.

For the other group, bonds are natural; they form readily, easily, wantingly, organically; it is the breaking of bonds that require enormous energy; it is the breaking of bonds that is unnatural, and leave scars.

Extraordinary leadership:

... it uplifts. it extends. it expands ...

There exists amongst us a breed BEYOND THE HERO - not some sort of stereotype - critical to the call of our moment, growing, expanding, reshaping, and refining, as is necessary for the chimes of our times - extraordinarily participatory, nurturing, nourishing, discovering, unfolding, creating and building, embracing the fullness of life, in full claim of this birthright and privilege of each and every person born on this planet.

In Part 2 of this segment, as we explore, examine and exemplify the learnings and practices of this breed's effective emergent leaders (of all stripes) who are performing apopros to the better values of our times, we are highlighting a few critical elements.

We are WIDE OPEN wholly responsible for making this world a better place.

Today's pivot QUESTION: say you accept that everything good within you is of natural value to the world you're in, is it of value in you alone with you alone;

- if not, with what should it be bonded, how, and when?

* * *

BEYOND THE HERO, the skills used along each journey of significance were honed from the hero's journey where no hero can go it alone or come through without being transformed. BEYOND THE HERO, its leaders are of a brand new breed, as we shall continue to discover.

"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." _ Mohandas Gandhi

Perspective matters.

"Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances." _ Sun Tzu

"Know what you own. Understand what you claim. Believe you can achieve what you conceive then call it by its name. Mine! The extent to which you have this clarity of mind, this purity of understanding, this strength of belief, you have the fire, the fuel, the impetus, the passion, the determination, the willpower you require to pursue and retrieve your truest desire. But do not claim what does not belong to you. It will not keep you . . . it will suffer you but for only so long."

You are valued. You are important. What you experience is important. Your intention matters. You are a whole being. You are a true wonder. You diminish yourself whenever you pit valued elements of who you are against vital elements of who you are: your intuitive self against your intellectual self, your rational self against your emotional self, your gut against your heart against your head. Don't be put at war against yourself: you are a masterpiece. An intricate being. Human!

Life: it is a dance. It gets better with practice; its music is in your heart and in your soul and in your blood and in your bones. Life; it is a dance. It gets better with practice. You have a partner – your spirit. You can have a party if you like, but choose smartly who you invite, for life – your life – is a dance. It gets better with practice, unless you stop the music or so crowd your dance floor there is no space to move or be moved within it. Explore. Yes, life; it is a dance. It gets better with practice until the dance becomes the dancer and the dancer becomes the dance and life and all of existence becomes a singular flow. Yes, life; it is a dance. It gets better with practice. Dance.

What are Your True Colors?

Home is a special place. Love resides there. The best journeys take you there. Hope lives there. Home leaves no question about belonging. Friends belong there. Dreams thrive there. Home is a place of forgiveness. There is no rejection there. Home is a place of rest and recuperation and rejuvination. There is laughter there. Life takes you to unexpected places; love brings you home. At home you are free to flourish. It is where you birthed your wings. Are you there yet? We live amongst viruses and bacteria: some are villains and some are monsters. Don't feed monsters. Villains are everywhere; you are ever in their sights. Be prepared: find your rhythm, stay in balance, keep your values and your vision in focus. Choose your friends wisely. You got this.

Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field. I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.

Come, let us all be friends for once,
Let us make life easy on us,
Let us be lovers and loved ones,
The earth shall be left to no one.

The Great Teller shares An Epic Truth

Across the nation and around the world there is a long rumble.

It is a rumble so loud it strikes ready ears as a distant clap of a fierce thunder. It is a rumble so low, it rides beneath the noise of a thousand human fears; it can no longer be heard. Fear of flight, fear of heights, fear of sand, fear of snow, fear of monsters in the closet, fear of bugs in the pillow, fear of cats, fear of bats, fear of strangers at the door, fear of being lost, fear of being laughed at, fear of being stuck in the toilet bowl, fear of whites, fear of blacks, fear of browns, blues and yellows, fear of nakedness, fear of the unknown, fear of being hurt.

Fear!
