Sean DeLaney: 我觉得真正被看见是人类最深层的需求之一,但这种能力在当今世界已被遗忘。关注能改变人,所以看见的艺术非常重要。每个人内心深处都渴望被看见,被认可,不仅仅是因为外在成就,而是因为内心深处的人性。被看见是人类的核心需求,是归属感和价值感的来源。没有比忽视一个人,使其变得无足轻重或隐形更残酷的惩罚了。当感到隐形时,人们会开始退缩、沉默,并怀疑自己是否不够好,从而进行补偿。世界上有两种人:使人渺小的“diminishers”和照亮他人的“illuminators”。照亮他人的人,会让人感到更强大、更深刻、更人性化,创造空间让别人表达自己的声音、痛苦和潜力。成为照亮者与性格无关,而在于当他人出现在你面前时,你选择成为什么样的人,这关乎临在。世界需要更多愿意见证彼此的人,在美好的事物消失之前,在他们对世界和自己隐形之前,命名他们身上的美好。看见是一种艺术形式,它能转化人,激发活力。给予他人充分的、不分心的关注,就是给予他们最纯粹的爱。Sawubona是一种强大的对他人人性的认可,不仅仅是用肉眼看,而是看到他们的整个存在。承认他人的过去、现在和未来,邀请在灵魂层面连接,承认每个人的内在尊严和价值。人类需要被接纳,当他们被接纳时,他们会朝着自我实现的方向前进。就像囚犯在黑暗中敲击摩斯密码,渴望被听到,被认可,从而重获人性。重点不是看穿彼此,而是看进彼此。即使对于那些看似无法沟通的人,也要努力让他们感到被看见,因为看见的力量是巨大的。集中注意力于任何事物,它都会成为通往一切的门户;不带期望地关注他人,它就会变成爱。越深刻地看待某人,就越深刻地爱上这个世界,这会让你放慢脚步,活在当下。深刻地看待他人,让他们感到被看见,是任何健康的人、家庭、学校、社区、组织或社会的核心技能。看见他人,他们就会活过来。指挥家的力量在于他能够使其他人变得强大。培养真正看见他人的本能需要自律,尤其是在当今世界。首先是临在,不仅仅是身体上的临在,而是情感上、精神上和能量上的临在。除了临在,还需要协调,即调整到他人的情感状态。协调需要深入的倾听,不催促,不推动,只是耐心地捕捉他人的感受。看见需要忘我,放下成为专家、正确、令人印象深刻和乐于助人的需求。停止成为中心,为他人创造空间,让他们在你的存在中活过来。慷慨的静止是不需要打断、填补沉默、急于解决不适感。如果你想从别人那里得到一切,首先要关注他们,倾听他们,尊重他们,给予他们意义、满足感和成就感。向他们表达你对他们的重要性,并表达你爱他们,但你必须先行动。首先行动,成为那个暂停、抬头、倾听、不试图解决问题的人,成为那个看到他人神圣性的人。通过你进入房间的方式来改变房间,通过你如何看待他人来改变他人的生活。放慢脚步,再次看看周围的人,告诉他们:我看到你,你很重要,你属于这里。当人们感到真正被看见时,会发生惊人的转变,你也会开始再次爱上这个世界。最深刻的礼物是不带分心或目的,看着他们的眼睛,让你的整个存在说:我看到你。

We live in a world desperate to be seen, but rarely do we slow down enough to truly see* one another. In this soul-stirring episode, Sean DeLaney explores the quiet, transformative power of presence, attention, and attunement. You’ll discover that seeing others isn’t just a relational skill, it’s a transformative act. One that can heal, connect, elevate, and awaken the humanity in us all. We’ll explore:

  • Why presence is the most profound form of recognition
  • The difference between transactional attention and soulful seeing
  • Cultural and spiritual practices like “Sawubona” and “Namaste” that honor the sacredness of others
  • How to become an illuminator*, not a diminisher, in people’s lives
  • What happens when we witness others into their own becoming

You’ll hear quotes and insights from Simone Weil, Maria Popova, David Brooks, Peter Kaufman, and more—all pointing to one truth: the quality of your attention is one of the most powerful forces in the world. “Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” — Simone Weil If you’ve ever felt unseen, or you’re ready to offer others the kind of presence that changes lives, this episode is for you.
