I totally agree with you about women also having plenty of disquiet, and I think that Dave does, too. As I mentioned to you, a chunk of his career was in coaching executive males, so that was the world he saw. Interestingly, Dave had an open phone forum the other night, and a woman was the prime contributor, although she was there more for suggestions about dealing with her partner's disquiet. What I am finally doing better at embracing, thank God, is the fact that disquiet is, for me, a signal that I have something inside myself to face and "clean", which then leads me deeper. Quite the journey! Thanks again, Karin. Stuart Karin, thanks so much for your further personal contribution here.

Sun, 20 May 2007 13:45:38 +0000 http://consciouscooperation.com/blog/?p=34#comment-179 Hi again Stuart As promised, more ponderings on the interview. Other sentence that stood out for me is related to the one I'd already mentioned. "Acknowledging the disquiet is the very door to be invited to grow". My thoughts (and feelings) exactly. And now I might step on Dave's toes (sorry Dave), but I don't really agree with his website statement that disquiet is typical for men. I am not a a-typical woman and know a lot of other women who feel/think the same. To me it is a human characteristic, feeling 'restless', feeling 'is this all'? looking/yearning even for better answers - deeper understanding of it all: "What's my purpose". That's why your insight in this rings so true: we need to be challenged (i.e. yearning for deeper answers/understanding) in order to grow/evolve even. Dave calls this the disquiet in men, I call it human social nature. A guide in this is very helpful, either quiet time to think/ponder on your own or with trusted others. And some call it Spiritual yearning and find guidance in the Divine. Thanks for letting us 'listening in' Karin H. Hi again Stuart

Have to ponder a bit more about it, it's very impressive, to say the least. Made some notes too during listening. One thing that really stood out for me was (and I can relate to that very much) "you have to walk straight in to the 'disquietness'" Talk to you soon, take care for now Karin H. Hi Stuart

Listened to the podcast a few minutes ago. Have to ponder a bit more about it, it’s very impressive, to say the least.

One thing that really stood out for me was (and I can relate to that very much) “you have to walk straight in to the ‘disquietness’”

Talk to you soon, take care for now
