Awesome compilation you've got there, I agree with your perspective.
To me it feels like all of this trial and tribulation leads to the gradual realization that each and every one of us have and always will be in a co-creative role with the universe at large.
All spiritual transformation and healing therefore leads to unlocking this perspective and opening the floodgates of creative genius.
Because this experiential knowledge is so viscerally integrated into my being, it gives rise to purpose and mission to serve those embarking on their path towards conscious creation.
Thank you! Yes it's all about co-creation with each other and the universe. I think it's through individual realization of genius that people will naturally recognize and resonate with collective genius that wants to express itself.
Just like you, it's integrated in your being, so you naturally want it for others. I think it's an elegant benevolent system, and all we have to do is "get out of the way" of it.
I like how you talk about stories. I always think of it as speaking the same thing in different languages. Each language sitting at a different frequency. Some more grounded than others! But all of them speaking of our expansion. I love the quote “everything’s true, nothing’s real.”
Brilliant article, so much of this resonates deeply, so much I could respond to! A continual mid-life crisis made me laugh, I feel you! Do we ever get to the end of it??
The nudge to share our visions and perspectives... mines been building for 5 years, it's still expanding, I feel it's steadily stabilising into something I can share, soon! I've been in my own way, but also healing my own stuff, too much pain to mention, so it's all perfect as it is.
I wanted to co-create a new pattern on the ground that aligns us back to the natural blueprint and create social proof that a different way was possible... That balances healthy masculine and feminine energies into a coherent and co-creative whole... it seems I had to clean my own pattern and become my own unique version of that new balance and pattern first. Not sure I'd have chosen this if I'd realised how hard and lonely that was going to be 😅
Connecting my own galaxy brain with my deep cosmic heart still feels... A bit Wobbly!
I'd love to connect in person / video if you're open to it? I'd be interested to hear how your perspective has expanded since May 23. I feel like mine has expanded and solidified with more information, but the core is essentially still the same... I want to create my dream with others, live the new pattern, and share it with the world as we go.
Forgive the slow response. Yes, please share! Yeah it's a fractal. We can't create an even more integrated outer reality until we do so internally. I wonder every day why I chose this life (if I did, which I think I did). I would love to connect too! I've been crazy busy but my heart is here with the emergence that is happening. So, hopefully we can make some time soon.
No worries, and I hear you. I regularly have pause to wonder if this is really my true path, I wish it felt a bit easier and more fun! I'd love to chat, totally open to it and can be pretty flexible. I'm in the UK time zone wise, drop me a DM and hopefully we can connect soon 😊🙏
Bravo Chris, I really enjoyed your take on this. I read so much of this topic but this has been the most promising. It’s definitely food thought, I will ponder on this.
Thank you! I'd love to know what feels promising to you. I.e, what are the threads to explore more about? I believe that this is one unique way I can contribute to this emergence even more.
Another example of thinking about the exact same things through different lenses!! Which gets me very excited 🤓🤓🤓
What you gave voice to through a neo-spiritual<>evolutionary<>psychological lens, I put into remixed academic frameworks in Part 3 of that trilogy I mentioned on the other thread. I didn't use this term, but to borrow from Stanislav & Christina Grof, I'd suggest as individuals and a collective -- including our systems -- we are undergoing a spiritual emergency.
I did also use the lens of therapeutic psychedelics and integration work which makes me curious (and more excited!) as you mentioned being an integration guide. Curious to see how resonate my metaphor is.
I am really intrigued and hearted by the 'exact same message, different lenses' phenomena in our writing and thinking. A few quotes in direct alignment:
"collapse happens first imperceptibly slowly, and then suddenly very fast, everywhere, all at once. We are living in the fast part now."
"Birthing is a very accurate, literal description of what we are living through, at multiple scales simultaneously: Economy. Culture. Epoch. This is what it feels and looks like to live during a growth spurt, to witness the birth of new epochs and synthetic life. We are in collective, evolutionary labor, the fast part where contractions quicken, where the nurse tells mom to push."
"Psychedelics disrupt your status quo profoundly enough to give you a chance to rearrange the pieces before they lock back into the old pattern. Psychedelics defrag, but it’s up to you to integrate them, to determine if there will be a New or Old Normal. And this is where the parallel to our collective moment becomes starkly clear.... Psychedelics (including cannabis) are to the individual what AI is to the collective: an accelerant, a magnifier, the stressor that might break the camel’s back. The internet coming online was like all humanity taking a dose of ayahuasca. AI arriving is like going back to the shaman for a second and third cup in the same ceremony."
"Complex adaptive systems can only be forced into the same pattern for so long before they self-correct, usually through uncontrolled destruction...Resisting emergent, necessary, adaptive transformation at the collective level is self-sabotage at the individual level."
"So, if Neoliberalism was the ‘Before’, what could be the ‘After,’ the New North Star? One way I see it: if centralized power and monoculture define our ‘Before,’ then distributed, decentralized power and polyculture will be the New Normal ‘After.’... community, niche, and micro will be the new scales that matter."
(This is my version of enthusiastic intellectual excitement -- *thanks neurodivergence*. and thanks you Chris for such a stimulating morning!!)
The New New World Order :)
