An 'ism' of ism-less-ness.
Depicting unconditional freedom that we were born with.
Reminding how the very pursuit of 'freedom' can be shakling.
Embracing paradoxes. Questioning norms.
Upholding the gifts of life.
And busting myths of 'rights'.Indroneilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12232168148961930266noreply@blogger.comBlogger50125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9092413473316580828.post-67235821119583406982013-10-16T17:02:00.000+05:302013-10-16T19:32:58.014+05:30Who is an Enabler?
When I founded iProdigy in 2001, I consciously used the word 'enabling' in its tagline not knowing how loosely it will be used to mean almost anything and everything to do with facilitating, helping, guiding, coaching, mentoring and sorts.
It was never meant to be so. A word that will be misused to make things look good, as glib marketing act.

Law has taken it own course of crime and punishment. For some of the cases that are reported. Case unreported would be at least three to four time more which do not even qualify for legal action. There are questions that arise. Has capital punishment (or any punishment which is severe enough to send a message across) brought in any transformation amongst criminals?

No sooner had I clicked the 'Publish' button of my last blog - Meditation in Meltdown - I knew that I had blundered. I knew I had opened up a Pandora's Box for the melt-downers to come out with all their (mis)understanding of meditation which will allow them to justify why it cannot be allowed within the iron wall of corporates. And that led me to look at my four decades of association with Indroneilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12232168148961930266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9092413473316580828.post-66329292392140891862013-09-05T11:54:00.000+05:302013-09-05T11:54:09.989+05:30An appeal to all teachers
On this day, Teachers Day, I remember fondly all those godly souls who shaped me the way I am and my heart fills up with gratitude for their selfless service.
I am also concerned and pained to see what is happening all around and would like to remind all dear teachers today to:

About three years back, a protege of mine, came to me to declare with a sense of joy and pride that she had finally manifested her intent to be rich and famous.

In the last decade or so I have been closely watching how entrepreneurs like you tend to conduct their businesses. One thing that I have noted is that at any point in time they would be in one of the three roles,
Executive - doing things
Expert - telling others how to do or
Enabler - making things happen
the executive and expert roles being more preferred than the enabler.

If there is one thing common amongst most sales professional it is the perception of, for whatever they are selling, the price being high. This is particularly true of products and solutions that are of niche and specialty nature.

It was the autumn of 2009. I was facilitating a 3-day session of The Power Within
for a group of CXOs and entrepreneurs at a nearby resort. Participants
had come in with their bags and baggages, to stay there for those three
days, in quest of their real world, locking out the unreal. No one was in a hurry to react to the call of duty. A sense of freedom and stillness prevailed.

All crises, including economic crises stem from a crisis of consciousness. And as, with each passing day, systems get more and more crisis ridden and driven, the need to awaken sub-systemic and systemic consciousness gets more and more imminent.

You often land in situations that are correctional in nature. These situations come up to restore harmony and balance that you had at some point in time disrupted by some thoughts and actions of yours and you label them as misfortune.
