Responses to chaos: swimming in the muck

the last thing to come when one is healing from trauma is a thick skin…it does, finally come, however. it does. really it’s not thick at all. it’s porous and everything becomes clear and thus it’s easier to move around the chaos and muck. clarity doesn’t get rid of the muck!

the capacity for nuance seems to be a deficiency in almost everyone these days…doesn’t matter where you are on the political spectrum. it’s tiresome.

the hardest part to understand is how many people don’t even recognize what is in their own best interest

There is the egoic will and there is the common will. The egoic will is in alignment with capitalism and white supremacy. The common will is the will of life. It is best to leave the egoic will behind and seek the common will. This is true alignment.

If we believe we are unredeemable that is what we will project outwardly to anyone we hate, whoever those people might be. This is in fact a sort of dissociation. In our factionalized society most everyone is infected.

Inquiry:  What groups of people or individuals are we projecting our self-loathing onto?

I live in surrender which i also call living ritual. Trance is a regular part of it…the ancestors then, via the microbiome and DNA come through loud and clear.

a lot of people are at risk now. it’s time for intersectionality and looking outside the small groups we surround ourselves with. we gotta get bigger than the oppressive forces … we do that by recognizing all forms of oppression and how they affect everyone differently. See the human family. We are everywhere. We are everyone. Connected like mycelium.
