#MondayInsight:

I interviewed Elizabeth Lesser for my podcast this past week, and as I was reading her book, ‘Cassandra Speaks’ in preparation, there was one line that popped off the page for me…

“She told me a story that turned out to be the answer to a question I didn’t even know I was asking.”

And it struck me because we are here to activate a new story for humanity… and the role of a paradigm changer is to say, “There’s another way for us to experience ourselves and our collective experience in society.”

That starts with naming the questions people don’t even know they are asking. In other words, we reach into the underbelly of our society, to the undercurrent of people’s lives to what’s underneath that level of consciousness, and speak to that. And not to do it in abstract consciousness language – what I’m talking about is naming the burning questions that cut to the core.

One of the gifts of your wounding is that you’ve lived a life where you had to develop a high, high, high level of ability to attune to what’s not being said. You can see things, hear things, and feel things that are under the surface of what’s going on. Your energetic mechanism knows how to attune and read energy.

In the first part of life, that capacity was largely centered around safety. Now we want you to take that same capacity and focus it on yearning, because people’s unspoken questions live inside of their yearning.

These unasked questions are growing for individuals and for collectives, because of the exponential problems in our world right now, that are in our face, in obvious and glaring ways.

If you lead an audience and have a tribe of people that you nurture and support, the question to ask yourself is: “what is the despair in this collection of humans, and what is their yearning?”

If you are a leader in any other system – a corporation, city government, school or hospital the question is the same: “what is the despair in that city and what is the yearning in that city?”

The unspoken questions live inside of that yearning. It’s a yearning for a new world. It’s a yearning for a new possibility. It’s a new yearning for a new way to experience ourselves and this world. It’s a yearning both on the individual level and on the collective level.

This yearning is looking for the keyhole that opens the door to a new reality. Name the question that is unspoken and you point the way to where the keyhole exists that opens the door to a new reality. And isn’t that what we are all looking for?

“Insert key here, then twist.” Those are the instructions.

This is why as a paradigm changer we’re asking you to name the collective questions – the questions that we don’t even know that we have. That’s how you open the door to creating societal change, cultural change. The strongest lever for cultural change is to attune to and name the often asked questions in the collected subconscious. When you name the question, it points the way to the keyhole that opens the door to the world we are waiting for.
