Arjuna Ardagh: 我认为天才并非一个固定的定义,而是一个持续探索的主题。它关乎表达新颖事物的能力,以及将这些想法以一种前所未有的方式,与人类集体进化相契合地展现出来。哥白尼的日心说就是一个例子,它不仅是天文学上的突破,更重要的是它使宇宙变得可理解,并引发了人文主义、艺术和建筑等领域的变革。同样的,谷歌的成功也是天才的体现,它高效地解决了信息检索问题。 最终的满足感源于进入‘天才的频率’,即在工作流程中,你清晰地知道自己正在做正确的事情,创造出有价值的事物,并为人类的进步做出贡献。这需要区分‘模因’(普遍共享的理解)和‘方法’(具体应用)。天才的产生需要理解模因并创造方法,而不是仅仅遵循方法。 我总结了七个重要的模因,如果能将它们融入自身,就能显著提升自身的天赋。首先是‘灵感确定性’,它来自他人对你的天赋的认可,帮助你超越自身的局限性。其次是‘在场’,即你以何种状态进入生活中的每个情境。第三,也是最重要的,是有效地进入超越条件化思维和反应性情感的维度,即‘觉醒’。觉醒意味着将注意力转移到体验当下存在的意识层面,这并非神秘主义,而是回归当下感知的本源。 通过将注意力转向感知的本源(‘我’),可以体验到无限的、非局限的意识,这是天才的强大催化剂。如果没有对无限意识的体验,我们只能依赖于条件化的思维和情感,这限制了创造力的表达。大部分创造性冲动都会被条件化的思维(例如‘我不够好’)所阻碍,而克服这些阻碍的关键在于放松对这些思维的抗拒,而不是试图消除它们。 我们需要量身定制的练习来打破固有的行为模式,从而释放天才。这可以通过幽默和反常的方式来实现,例如,我曾指导一位大学教授在讲座时戴上猫尾巴,以此打破他严肃的形象,释放他的创造力。每个人都有独特的才能,而科技的进步(例如YouTube)使得更容易发现和分享这些才能。通过在更广阔的状态中停留,可以有意识地创造新的冲动,例如快乐,这类似于量子物理学中的波粒二象性。 觉醒教练法提供具体的工具和量身定制的练习,帮助人们释放潜能,并找到自己独特的才能在世界上的最佳匹配。它并非教导,而是引导你发现自身渴望,并通过特定的技术和练习,消除阻碍你前进的障碍,最终让你展现出真正的自我和天赋。

Shownotes Transcript

We’ve all – hopefully – experienced what it’s like to fall into a sense of flow. It’s when everything happens easily. You have a natural sense of meaning and purpose without having to think or worry about it very much at all.

But for some of us, that’s harder to come by. That’s where Arjuna Ardagh comes in. Arjuna is the founder of Awakening Coaching, where he’s coached leaders for over 35 years across the technology field, the movie industry, writers, and innovators in public policy.

Arjuna maps out technology for shifting and managing consciousness. He shares how to access new dimensions of yourself to optimize creativity, dissolve roadblocks, and how to turn self actualization into tangible results in your work and the rest of your life.
