#80 From Self-Improvement to Unfoldment with Steve March

Timeless Teachings with Yana Fry

Have you been trying and failing to make improvements in yourself? Perhaps the problem isn’t with you, but with the entire approach of self-development as a way to ‘fix’ ourselves vs letting our best selves shine through. Join us as we discover with Steve March, founder of Aletheia, how shifting focus from a deficiency-oriented goal of self-improvement to a fulfilment approach using Unfoldment can put us on the liberating path of self-discovery and personal growth.

In This Episode

• (00:54) Self-development pre-supposes some deficiency to be rectified whereas Unfolding strives to uncover what's already there
• (07:13) Today's crises are intertwined and therefore resistant to traditional problem-solving approaches that try to identify and treat problems in isolation
• (09:47) The Unfolding paradigm might help resolve these intertwined crises as it helps reveal interconnected truths that are already there
• (13:27) Unfolding allows us to meet our personal suffering from a place of wholeness vs deficiency
• (16:40) Our economy is fueled by our sense of deficiency and Unfolding could help us live more sustainably
• (20:43) Unfolding happens in the context of relationships, so it shifts the locus away from individual self-development to relationship development and the community
• (23:22) To experience Unfolding, we need to shift away from viewing the world in mechanistic terms
• (28:11) As start to attune to ourselves more poetically, we uncover and materialise the innate goodness that's there
• (31:21) How Aletheia is helping bring the Unfolding paradigm as a response to the challenges in the world today
