The Function of Non-Factual Stories; The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful

Stories are powerful tools. If you hear a story often enough, you will believe it. If those around you are following a story, you'll likely get caught in it. This is a simple fact of being a social animal. But there is no outside view to look from. This is the waters we live in.
So now the question is how do we swim?
As alway, I invite you to join the dialogos practice where we discuss how virtues feel, appear, affect, stack, etc.
Why do I say the virtues?
Let's use an example;
"Do you aim to bring some justice into the world?"
"Has Justice existed before you? Will it continue to exist after you?"
"Is Justice developing and growing on this cosmic timeline? Do you want to contribute no matter how small?"
*Now do the same with Authenticity, Compassion, assertiveness, etc.*
This is the path to finding a reason to live and to truly live that is bigger than any one life. This is the escape from the meaning crisis, and the welcome into a world that doesn't have all the answers, but has all the energy to find the answers
If you're interested in finding out about the workshops I organize, I'd first ask you to watch my recent video going through my course that introduces you to a few tools that are very useful in navigating in the workshops (but also great for navigating in life)

I'm offering it on telegram for the moment.
It's over an hour in length, but divided between 8 episodes. Each one explores a different tool for navigating difficult conversations.
All episodes will be replaced in time, so I'd love to get feedback for where it's at.
Let me know what you think, both as it applies to your dialogos practice, but also if it helps you outside the practice, I think the tools will shine wherever you aim them
If you're interested in participating in a dialogos practice with myself and the growing group, contact me with your email, and I will send out some prep material going through the practices, and a link for the next session. They are held every week (usually on a Wednesday), and novice practices will be organized for people new to the practice to welcome them in and familiarize them with the space.

I hope to see you there, and as always, don't forget to breath, look around, and say thanks.
