A ToBe is when you take “time out” from normal life periodically. It’s a mental “shifting of gears,” maybe for just 1% of the time, away from decision-making to choice-creating. (See the chart of comparison between decision-making and choice-creating)
Of course, the idea of taking “time out” from normal life is an old one. It happens in many different ways—meditation, retreats, religious services, the sabbath, vacations; recreation, prayer, etc. We use the term "ToBe" to refer to a particular kind of “time out,” where we stop, step back and face our most important issues in the spirit of choice-creating. This type of "space" ultimately generates connection with others, empowerment toward transforming the system, and breakthrough answers to difficult problems. After “time in is called" and it's back to normal, there actually is no normal anymore since the process transforms us and our situation.
For example in the United States, here's a way that the citizens of today can come together as “We the People” and update our 18th century system. Even if we choose to not make any direct changes to the structure, we have fundamentally changed the structure anyway, just by creating a living "We the People," ultimate authority. .
