Meet – “Ask the Oracle”
July 29, 2010
ancient oracle
In ancient times an oracle was a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion
who offered predictions or precognition of the future, inspired by the gods.
We need a modern oracle for today’s confusing world.
I have begged, no pleaded, no it’s more like cajoled, well actually it’s that I kicked some you- know-what to get my business partner Ian Waddelow to answer the call to provide wisdom to our confused modern world.
Mystery Oracle Ian
Ian is my collaborator and co-creator in Retreat 42 and that’s where so many people got to partake of Ian’s wonderful wisdom. Every time he would speak it was as if the room would go silent and people’s ears would turn up the volume to listen.
First of all it’s his beautiful British accent. Who can resist that? None of us with an ear for a fine symphony, that’s for sure.
But more than that it is his humorous and practical way to address the modern dilemmas that all of us face as human beings on planet earth. Who am I really and what am I here to do? are just some of the deeper, more philosophical questions that Ian loves to answer for people.
During Retreat 42, several of our participants got to speak to Ian directly and gain insights from his knowledge of Human Design (more about that later).
But I felt that this tiny bit of wisdom, like a precious drop of nectar in honeysuckle, was simply not enough. So I asked him, no cajoled, well actually threatened him, to share his wisdom with the wider world.
I pleaded, screamed, got down on my knees and begged him and I don’t know if it was my dramatic antics or just the fact that he’s worn down by all this, but GREAT NEWS – he finally said YES! So we have begun a fun adventure that is an offshoot of Retreat 42.
It is called, “Ask the Oracle.“
Ask Ian
Now please know that Ian DOES NOT want to be called an oracle. This is where the pleading came in on my part. Ian is very understated. He is classy, elegant and very British, while I am brash, bold and very American. Thus we are the perfect partners.
I love the term oracle. So yes it was my idea to give it this title, but I did so for several reasons:
- Our modern lives are damned confusing and it helps to feel in contact with our deeper selves. An oracle is a source of insight and guidance that helps you know yourself first, thus the phrase, “To Thine Own Self Be True.”
- We need practical wisdom for our modern lives and Ian enjoys sharing it. When you hear him you’ll know what I mean.
- An oracle brings us closer to ourselves and closer to the source. What could be more needed than that?
I just love the word oracle. It comes from the Latin orare, meaning to speak. When we listen to an oracle, what we really hear is ourselves.
I am totally partial to Ian’s wisdom, but I think you’ll love him too. He’s helped so many of us Retreat 42′ers and if you let him, he’ll help you too.
Best of all he’s happy to do it. He enjoys sharing the answers that come and hey it’s completely free, as all of the best oracles are. We would not cheat you on this regard. He is a first class oracle. Money back guaranteed. :>)
So you excited? I am. I’ve got my pad and pen and am getting my questions ready for the oracle.
