Transition is life and life is transition: we have been repeating it for years and on this foundation we have built the TRANSITION MASTERY method.
Today we invite you to pause and observe your life retrospectively (that is, from the present moment, looking back until you were born), imagining it as a spiral. A different exercise from the “Time line” and “Transition line”: trust us.
A spiral because in our opinion there is a meta-transition, which at the same time overlies and underlies the individual transitions of our life and gives them meaning and breadth. Each transition we have experienced so far has brought us to a new level of consciousness – usually higher – and to a new step of our identity. And from that level, from that step, the next transition took place and so on.
If we wear systemic glasses, we will grasp a truth: our spiral evolves, develops, is enriched with new swirls to respond to a precise objective, which represents its own very meaning, the meaning of its own existence.
As the eminent Systemic Coach Alain Cardon affirms, to grasp the essence of a human being, the coach must work on her entire universe, which she occupies in the same way in which she himself inhabits her being: the levels are interconnected, communicate, influence each other reciprocally.
Our universe, our system are in effect an extension of ourselves! Therefore, they ARE ourselves.
Why are we recalling this systemic concept? Because, proceeding in a spiral, we head towards an ultimate goal, a point in infinity that, probably and reasonably, we will never reach. But, despite this, as we proceed along our spiral, we evolve and, according to the law of systems, our “universe” evolves with us, i.e. us as human beings, our behaviors, our values, the material and immaterial elements with which we interface, the quality and number of our interconnections, the people we work with, who we hang out with, our families, the type of relationships we are capable of building and maintaining.
If we evolve, an entire universe evolves, as each element of a system transforms and is transformed by the system to which it belongs, in which it is inserted, to which it contributes and gives sense.
This concept leads us directly into the field of responsibilities and engagement: by catching the scope and impact of our evolutions in the system in which we are inserted, we understand how important it is to build in an ethical and sustainable way our major changes, our transitions.
In fact, the more ethical and sustainable they are, the more we embody and diffuse around us ethical and sustainable examples and models, thus contributing to a general evolution, which the world has never needed more than today.
Returning to our spiral, let us ask ourselves:
- What is it aiming for?
- What meta-transition do you see?
- Where does it lead you?
- What does it say about you?
- How does it impact the other elements of your universe today?
“I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Bob Dylan, Every grain of sand, 1981
Sometimes I turn, there’s someone there, other times it’s only me
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand”
