Clearlight Evolution Unconscious patterns limit us, undermining relationships and performance. We dissolve the patterns. Values are the essence of relationships.

WE HELP PEOPLE WALK THE TALK, EMBODY THEIR VALUES TO ENJOY A MEANINGFUL LIFE WITH FAR LESS STRESS. They underpin a meaningful, fulfilling life. But Self knowledge is the foundation of all there is to life. Here's why we focus on relationships: we've proven the better the relationships, the better the results. Specifically, I led and co-authored the world's first research to quantify the link among leadership, organizational culture and performance. Key findings:

- Culture drives results
- Leaders drive culture
- Culture plays "follow the leader"
- Leaders must "be the change" they want to see in their organizations

In other words, leaders and their teams must walk the talk, and embody the values that inform the organization. As a result, relationships and results flourish. We would welcome the chance to help you bolster relationships and results.

Awakenings

Throughout my life I’ve always been amazed at the comings and goings of early morning.

I sit sipping coffee at a ferry terminal before dawn in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It’s been an achingly beautiful time as relationships once severed begin anew and heal.

What is often missed-overlooked- is that life is all about relationship. They anchor life in meaning, fulfillment, purpose. They teach love: a reminder of all of who really are.

Relationships are wild rides, especially the one we have with our self. They offer learning that never ends, so it’s good to be a humble, open student who is also committed to study and practice.

And they are marvels of wonder too. On the ship’s deck coming over here a very excited stranger approached me gripping his phone.

“Guess what!” I have an app that tracks the International Space Station,” he enthused. “It is directly above us
now.”

He then pointed a moving spot in the blustery, dark skies.

In that brief moment, a relationship birthed a discovery.

And excitement.

And connection.

And wonder and awe.

No lessons here. Just reflections as I await a ferry to take me from this most British of Canadian cities to mountain and ocean encircled Vancouver.

So back to school for more wonder and awe during the wee hours in darkness towards light.

EARLY MORNING RUN DISCOVERY

It’s early morning, Victoria, British Columbia, the most British of Canadian cities.

Mild though overcast, Christmas beckons regardless of weather with this giant tree in front of the legislature.

I will now get coffee and imagine the squeals of delight and wide eyes from the gift of this beautiful, sacred giant.

Line up for a beautiful sunset

This time on Canada’s opposite coast-the west-where huge numbers await a ferry to take them to a rare British Columbia’s capital, Victoria, and locations beyond and all stunning.

It is a marvel to start on the east coast well before dawn and arrive in time for sunset on Canada’s west coast.

It’s a far cry from when I got my first stage coach at 16.

Pleasant dreams all. And much peace.

FOR YOUR CONTEMPLATION

~Two images about one insight~

Early morning clouds joust with a rising sun on Canada’s east coast, overlooking the Atlantic. Stunning images in real time revealing timeless universal truths.

Nature is often a great metaphor for reality, revealing another way to wonder about our existence.

The Light is us. We all are whole, limitless, complete, sublime, nondual-and ordinary. But we don’t know that Light because it is obscured by clouds.

In human form the clouds exist due to childhood conditioning. From ages zero to seven we absorb in thoughts, words and deeds what we need to do to survive, to thrive, to be a part of something called family, society, even life.

These clouds are often heavy weights in life. Burdens. Often we are unaware of them. They offer a partial picture of what is really going on in our lives.

One common example is that we have to accomplish material success to be a somebody. Reality? We already are a somebody.

Other reality? Material success never fills the void of a lack of self worth.

We all are illumined by Light and eclipsed by clouds. The ongoing study and practice of ancient wisdom that reveals what it means to be fully human dissolve the clouds that limit us. (To be clear, it may also be wise to seek psychological counsel to help clear gnarly impediments as well. The author uses both psychology-bottom up-and ancient wisdom-top down-to clear clouds).

This is life work. The “payoff” is enjoying a life well lived, fulfilled, a rare and priceless achievement in life.

And what a contribution.

FOR YOUR CONTEMPLATION

"Ye live not for yourselves; ye cannot live for yourselves ; a thousand fibres connect you with your fellow-men, and along those fibres, as along sympathetic threads, run your actions as causes, and return to you as effects.”

Henry Melville

FOR YOUR CONTEMPLATION

One of the most challenging teachings when working with leaders of organizations or elite athletes (anyone in reality) is this: your results in life are not up to you.

Recently I drove from Canada’s east coast to my old stomping grounds in Toronto, Ontario. Part work and part other obligations and plans beckoned.

But life and its Creator had other plans.

Immediately upon arrival in Toronto I ran ten km, part of my training for an upcoming, 50 mile, ultramarathon. Felt great!

But here’s where my plans quickly became subservient to other-grander?-plans.

Overnight all hell broke loose. Sleepless and very ill I drove myself to the hospital, and within four hours I was on an operating table to repair a ruptured appendix and sepsis.

Six days later I emerged from hospital free of both. A strange shot of energy arose after my escape, so I celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving running up Blue Mountain and its beautiful trails in Collingwood, Ontario, a few hours north of Toronto.

So what does ancient wisdom instruct? Life is funny, weird, unpredictable and beautiful and has its own mysterious “algorithm” that ensures a whole world.

It is wise to make plans, but hold on to outcomes lightly because they are subject to change depending on what the whole needs.

To manage that unpredictability, universal values are required to avoid resisting life as it is-and not as we wish it.

Among them are acceptance, accommodation and dispassion (all require far more definition than offers here).

By all means make plans: but it might be worthwhile first to know how life works, what its plans are, through the study and practice of self knowledge-to know what it means to be fully human.

THIS PRECIOUS LIFE

The other reminder I received was this: life is precious. Just the chance to breathe, to witness nature, to touch a blade of grass, to tap the trunk of a tree while running past it, to hear children squeal in delight and see parents’ smile, to see dogs run after sticks and stones, these are the priceless riches in life.

Value yourself. Value others.

Learn the ways of a life in harmony with how it all works.

FOR YOUR CONTEMPLATION

Pleased and affirmed to see a wonderful, former client of mine, a world leader in “high performance”added “ancient wisdom” (self knowledge) to his offering as an essential ingredient to bolster performance-in life, at work, or as an elite athlete or leader.

Self knowledge-to know what it means to be fully human-is the foundation for a life well lived. It underpins all performance-and all life.

Perhaps more importantly, it is essential for good mental health as well as conscious, constructive and contributive relationships within and without.

Self knowledge is the context that provides meaning, purpose and fulfilment in life. All else is content.

FOR YOUR KINDNESS
ON KINDNESS DAY

Each day, millions of people go unseen, unheard, unvalued.

On world kindness day, let’s reverse that. Today and far beyond today.

(This may require the surrender of screens, distractions, busyness, and engage new levels of listening. Listening to understand. Listening with heart. Listening to contribute to another - our empathic listening is a great gift to others)

NEW SEASONS

This city boy is still learning the ways of ocean life. Including when the brave, tenacious lobster fisherpeople start their season.

It is common to see boats return to port surrounded by hungry gulls, frantic for scraps. It's quite a parade of nature in action.

To all fisherpeople, to your good health and safety.
