[originally written in 2021... still relevant]
We are in the midst of a huge transitional shift of how we relate to each other and organise ourselves as a community of beings.
Every single one of you is experiencing this in a unique way.
We are standing in the middle of history. But that history is not something that is simply happening to us. We are making it. We are an intrinsic participant in this weaving process. In such a fertile and chaotic time, we've the opportunity, more than ever, to really make a mark on what possible future we inherit from our actions.
I remember being told 'History is written by the victors'. But what if we changed that f*cking power dynamic? What if we choose how our stories get told?
So many creation myths centre around the idea of a divine story, a song, a 'Word' forming reality. To me, this 'Word' is not only a thing on a wider collectively divine level... each one of us has a 'Word' inside of us that makes sense of our realities. That creates our personal universe. It is our sense of divinity.
It is our story.
Here are some questions [journal your responses if you like]
- What story are you telling with your life?
- What story do you want to tell with your life?
- Are they different? If so, how?
- What changes could you make in your life to bring them more into resonance with each other?
[dream wild here, remember... you don't have to do what you write, just jam stuff our, scribble around, you're not obligating yourself to anything, so be free... let your imagination fly]
Imagine that every single action, decision, and process you engage within is a kind of writing.
Zoom out for a moment. What are you writing?
There has been so much death in the last year. And not only on a corporeal level. So many of the narratives that held our identities and self-experience within them are collapsing and dis-intergrating. Destruction is everywhere. It seems only fitting, rebellious, and gorgeous, that we meet this with even more CREATIVITY. With even more ALIVENESS.
Change is here, and more potently than ever.
& 'Change is God' - [Octavia Butler]
But a key thing to remember is that YOU ARE PART OF THIS CHANGE. You are this change. You are God.
Here we've a chance to write totally new stories. Scope out totally new possible realities.
Explore them. Poke them about in our minds, nudge them tenderly with the nib of a pen, until they roll over giggling and reveal themselves..
Seriously, the vast potential you're standing before once you recognise this and begin the play this game of experimentation is f*cking mind-blowing.
This is how we savour and embrace and cherish being born in this wild and difficult time. This is how we metabolise the wounds of our ancestors into gifts for the future generations. This is how we sculpt our joy and generously offer it deeply to ourselves.
Write them or not... you're gonna end up inside of a new narrative framework... so why not write it yourself?
As my dear friend, teacher and inspiration Atlas Talisman says:
"Make your life the signature of your soul"
So dream crazy, dream huge, tune into the weirdness of this time, the weirdness of you. And, if you'd like any assistance in this process, I am sitting so vividly in this vision space right now and overjoyed to offer my assistance... This is my form of prayer.
LETS GET INVOLVED IN CREATING THE NEW WORLDZ.
Do get in touch.
Much love,
