Episode • Mar 14, 2023 • 15m

Hello, everyone! Today I will be talking about creation and destruction, as we unpack the question — Where is there health within this pairing and where is there dysfunction? 

In this episode, I also explore the relationship of existence and exile within groups and how group ecosystems create opportunities for healthy dynamic mutual growth and dynamic mutual destruction.    And the inquiry at the end is about finding our sovereignty while being a part of an ecosystem.      In this episode you’ll learn:

    • [02:30] Creation and Destruction.
    • [03:00] Disempowerment Triangle: Victim, Perpetrator, and Savior
    • [03:34] Slow health for creation and destruction.
    • [04:01] Medium health for creation and destruction.
    • [05:09] Fast health for creation and destruction.
    • [05:39] Existence.
    • [08:08] Sharing in groups & group dynamics.
    • [10:25] Taking the path of sovereignty. The path to sovereignty is to exist no matter another’s response to us.
    • [12:23] The Empowerment Triangle. 
    • [13:15] It’s no longer an all or nothing. There’s a sustainable middle place.

 

Quotes:

  • “As we grow more into our authentic selves, and as we grow in our capacity to be stable as somebody says something or does something that might normally exile us, we are growing in our capacity to be in this tension field.  We can exist even as somebody else is having hard feelings that might be towards us, something about our very existence that might trigger them. We have the capacity to exist anyway. And that this is part of the path of sovereignty.” – Sarah 
  • “Destruction doesn't have to be of my whole self, it does not have to be of my existence, but it can be of parts of myself that could be updated.” – Sarah 
  • “We are working to be our sovereign selves in the face of great difficulty in which another person is not working on their awakening. We choose to do so anyway.” -Sarah
