A True Coach and Teacher

As we move further into this decade, we will discover how handy it was to have exercised feeling and listening with our hearts. We are already rigorously navigating mazes of artfully spun insinuations by governances who wish to befuddle for psychological gain; it's only a game for the powers that be. However, in moments of seeming blurred orientation, true coaches and teachers do not speak of enlightenment, but, instead, highlight challenges that keep the students from it.

Khalil Gibran (b 1883), a Lebanese poet and artist said much the same, paraphrased here.

The true spiritual humanitarians, while meeting a block, do two things: They ask how others having gone before left such blocks there, and then they remove them for others who follow.

Some anthropologists and business gurus are telling us that right-brained artists, inventers, and thinkers will continue to be in demand in the global market place. (It remains to be seen if U.S. residents will be able to heed perceptive visionaries' appraisals by hiring creatives who can intuit blocks and resolutions; or, if we will rather spectate other nations who won’t thwart but eventually empower the artistic, business, educational, technological, and other advancements.)

To understand what it is like to associate with right-brained coaches and teachers (and artists, inventers, thinkers), who innately integrate feminine and masculine energies, would be to feel what the Beethoven’s, the Rembrandt’s, and the Shakespeare’s knew and felt; or what the Indian Ocean feels as it churns a tsunami.

Humans we call genius or eccentric are those who are truly creative, who do not intuit on a horizontal mode. In words of the musician Andres Segovia: their lives are an ascending line along which none but they can travel.

A true coach and teacher intuits challenges, nature, others, and themselves through a radically deeper and more poignant refinement than others can possibly conceive. Would all true coaches and teachers in the room please stand up?

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what’s being created.
