at the landmark self expression and leadership training last week, the leader lowered her voice and told us conspiratorially --this is what we're doing. we're designing the New Human Being. a human that can create new possibilities at any point, that is not locked into the cumulative straight jacket of past experiences, made-up interpretations and stories, limiting self talk. a human that can step outside of this jumbled mess to state clearly what she is out to create and step boldly into that newly created space.
ro said the same, in a totally different context. she's a new kind of human--we are deprogramming ourselves. we are learning a way of loving that goes against our biological programming, goes against our cultural programming. unlearning jealousy, envy, possessiveness, needyness. or holding them more holisticallly and gently as mere illusions that pass on through, leaving us more spacious and able to receive. and give.

i agree completely, but lets change the framing. Instead of what we are trying to transcend (which is critical as well) what we are trying to embrace. Compersion certainly (happiness that your lover is involved with others), compassion, generosity, grace.
We are trying to recraft ourselves to be open and sexy and inspiring to people around us. So they embrace these characteristics and the world begins to move in a much more healthy direction.
