ORT. Final chapter Atto XXVIII
"And into the Forest I go, to lose my Mind and find my Soul" J. Muir
When we approach the end of a Cycle the undercurrents of the secret realm of Mysteries and Enchantment begin to stir from their slumber, eager to flow once again. It is our longing

for that indefinite something more growing within us, urging us to shed the Grey taint of conformity. Suddenly, in a day like any other day, something changes within us. We no longer feel blinded in a shadow of mundane tasks, but instead we begin to question our surroundings,
the received truth and most importantly, our reality. "What is the point of it all?" that is the question. Our social interactions now feel like a fictional narrative, scripted, fake, unsatisfactory. Our minds begin craving a different outlook, a fresh start. A desire to know.
Our mind begin to change, our brain fires up new mysterious pathways and questions spring copiously searching for answers. But what happens when you start questioning your reality? You wake up from the induced dream state. The yokes of indoctrination start to loosen up. Breathe.
You have taken the first step on your path to spiritual awakening.
Awakening isn’t just a lifestyle switch, it’s a transmutation of the mental, emotional, spiritual and the physical body. These experiences inevitably start changing our life and the philosophy of existence itself.
Before we are even aware we are experiencing awakening our body is preparing ourselves for the changes subconsciously. We start to become more sensitive towards our environments. We begin to crave detoxes and the various ways to start cleaning up our life. The cleansing has begun
Your energy vibrations start to change and your body density decreases. You are experiencing the reaction of your immune system, your organism releases exosomes to get rid of the toxins, just like flu symptoms, your body is telling you to slow down and rest.
The old paradigm must be abandoned. You might feel necessary to clean or create more space within the home, remove objects, old habits or people from your life. You have an intense desire to purify yourself in every possible way. You are peeking behind the veil and it's scary.
To be continued. Good night.
You must imagine yourself in the state of your innermost desire and clear your mind of the cacophony that surrounds you.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
1/ Here’s a list of conversational frameworks I’ve picked up that have been helpful.

Please add your own.

2/ The Magic Question: "What would need to be true for you


3/ On evaluating where someone’s head is at regarding a topic they are being wishy-washy about or delaying.

“Gun to the head—what would you decide now?”

“Fast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?”

4/ Other Q’s re: decisions:

“Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the *one* reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”

“What’s end-game here?”

“What does success look like in a world where you pick that path?”

5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:

“What would the best version of yourself do”?
