Presencing remains the mystical floating island of Dialogue.
In Sensing, we throw our grapple hooks up into the sky together, hoping to hook
into field four and feel our feet leave the ground, or something like that. My
coach and I discussed the differences between Sensing and Presencing and how
the latter is so much more difficult to achieve, especially in a corporate
environment. There is a corporate application to Dialogue that I was very
reluctant to engage with throughout the course. I’m glad that my coach embraced
that face of Dialogue so that it could perturb my more spiritual colloquy with
the material.
Meditation and mindfulness came up. I shared with my coach
that I have been inspired to deconstruct the general term “mindfulness” to
account for the differences between various kinds of meditative experiences. Some
seem inward while others make the term “inward” or “self” incoherent. The
inquiry eventually led us back to the transition between fields three and four.
Brought into the conversation was someone I would consider a Dialogue artist,
Charles Eisenstein. He has a philosophical and social relationship with Presencing
through his Story of Interbeing. It seems that integrating the aspects of sensing
and presencing into the range of our understanding, from philosophical to
practical, is a practice that makes fields three and four more likely to fill
one’s perception across their experience.
We were both thrilled to have been lucky enough to be in
this class.
