GenOne in Shorthand

Go ahead. Tell your readers about GenOne.

I’m willing, but it is like fitting an ocean into a river.

If you were granted 100 words or less, what would you say?

Barbara Manx Hubbard began GenOne to share her profound spiritual experience with those of us willing to step aboard the challenge to develop our spiritual evolutionary leadership.  Through 52 Codes she was given, we will awaken to the guidance of our own Universal Self, the highest frequency of our being, and integrate those higher frequencies within ourselves to become and BE Universal Humans.

Do you believe in your capabilities to do this?

With my whole heart.  In fact, I believe that we, all 70 or so participants from around the world, were given a spiritual nudge to undertake this responsibility.  Except…it doesn’t feel like a responsibility.  It feels as though a tap has finally been turned on.

Barbara presents us with a new Code each week and explains its meaning.  She also shares facilitation with other well-known and highly respected spiritual leaders from various paths.  Within each of their messages our own leadership is lured and encouraged.  It’s not stressful – more a loving beckoning.

Barbara shared a list of traits of evolutionary personalities.  She asked each of us to tick ones applicable to who we are.  It seemed the profile had been custom-made.  I suspect each participant will feel the same.  I suspect each trait will apply to all of us – to varying degrees.

We’ve now formed circles, small in number, so each of us have the opportunity to speak, share and contribute.  We communicate during our weekly sessions with Barbara and, later, during the week on our own.  As I bond with four other GenOne-ers, I discover kindred souls of an evolutionary nature.  I discover teachers, mates, buddies, supporters, friends and fellow travelers.

Are you willing to share some of your homework exercises?

Yes, of course, though with respect for the program material.  Each week, Barbara shares one Code.  We use it for discussion purposes and for meditation. It’s designed to bring us to a higher frequency where we merge our Higher or Essential Self with our Universal Self.  It’s fulfilling the longing, the yearning, so many of us know and experience.  Dear reader, I believe you have felt this deep inner cry.

Terry Patten presented powerfully this week.  He left us with an impossible question:  “How can we have truly radical conversations in this time of global crisis?”  He’s not talking about conventional conversations.  He asks us to drop analysis.  These conversations will show us how to be responsibly optimistic and take the evolutionary leap into untapped heroism.  We are to surprise ourselves and see we ARE ready.  We will see how a global crisis is a “birth” – Barbara’s word.  Terry promises the question will bring a basic trust and confidence – even in suffering.

He asks us to stay with the question until we see we are not immune.  We cannot stand aside.  We’ll see this is a time of great joy and a time of great seriousness.

And it’s all 1st person, centered in self – NOT self-centered.

Monks are often given this type of question by their masters. While impossible to answer, the attempt to find one is powerfully revealing.  It’s essential, as Rilke suggested, to love and live the question:

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”   ― Rainer Maria Rilke

So, Beloveds, I invite readers to share this undertaking.  They, too, contain this same Divine Spark that bursts into evolutionary expression.  If not, they wouldn’t be here – sharing this now.

Take time to see it.

Yes, some will recognize their purpose.  How will you live the question?

I’ll respond to every day opportunities by living or loving my way into their mystery.  I won’t have the answer, but I have sufficient passion and love to lean fully into the question.  I offer this to readers.

Have you had a chance to lean into a mystery this week?

Yes, a young woman became derogatory after seeing a video of herself.  I asked her to stand back and consider

Be Willing To LEAN in.

what others see when they watch the video.  I pointed to her passion, her love and her willingness to be vulnerable through sharing these gifts.  They are not to be put down.  I told her about the time an older woman asked me to take responsibility for my power.  I suggested she do the same and continue using hers for good at every opportunity.

You see, Beloveds, I deal in simplicity.  I won’t rock the planet, but with your help, I can shake a soul.

Thank you.  Thank you to everyone willing to share this journey and challenge.  Our support is available simply through a request.  Please ask.

Dive right in!  Live and Love it fully.
