RECONCILIATION

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Reconciliation is an essential process required to integrate new inner insights with outer realities, current mental states with ideal traits, and individual awakening with the collective need for meaning and connection. Reconciliation prevents alienation by translating insights into stories others can understand, seeing divinity in the ordinary, and balancing humility with confidence.

  • Reconciliation transforms insight into applied wisdom through service, understanding, empathy, and integrating paradox (suffering and joy). It is the translator’s art which turns the language of the soul into the dialect of the world that others can feel and trust. It requires leadership through presence not preaching.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  • “After you have been in the dark, reconciliation is the courage to return to the world carrying light without burning others with it.”—Duane Elgin

  • “Only by reconciling the opposites within us can we become a bridge for others.”—Joseph Campbell

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

  • If you could share one life-changing insight with loved ones before you die, how would you translate that into presence through the leadership of reconciliation?

Namaste,

Duane Nelson
