A ToBe is when you take “Time Out” from normal life. It’s a mental “shifting of gears,” maybe you do it just 2% of the time. It's a shift of thinking from decision-making to choice-creating.
Of course, the idea of taking “time out” is an old one. It happens in many different ways—meditation, retreats, religious services, the sabbath, vacations; recreation, prayer, etc. In using the term "ToBe" we are referring to a specific kind of “time out,” where we stop and step back to face our most important issues in the spirit of choice-creating. Ultimately, this process generates deep connection with others, empowerment toward transforming the system, and breakthrough answers to difficult problems. Then "Time In" and it's back to normal. But of course, there is no normal anymore since the ToBe Process transforms us and our situation.
