Howdy newcomers!
You don’t want to roll up to the nude beach in a tuxedo, do you? So please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the venue.
Who’s this all for?
I write for a small group of peers who explore: visionary art, consciousness, psychonautics, the paranormal, ufos, connectedness and separation, the creative rethinking of existing paradigms surrounding art along with art as a means of spiritual practice, the possibility of design as the means of revolution, realms of influence, futurism and establishing or changing our prime directives and value systems to create the kind of world we want to live in and whatever else arises. Please know that if you post here, you agree to play nice…ummmkay. Now buckle up.
Why the blog? (The real reasons and usually undeclared agendas.)
I am starting this blog as an experiment in swimming deeper. What I mean by that is that in the USA there is an expression, “Go Big or Go Home” and I thought for a long time I was supposed to live by this motto also and there was something wrong with me if I didn’t. I have since had a series of directives where I have been clearly told not to go bigger, but deeper. “Not bigger. Deeper”. I wish I had been given a plan on how I was to actualize all this depth, but am choosing to assume that spirit thinks I am old enough to be able to figure it out by myself now. I know that deeper is something that can only be actualized through a willingness to invest time and caring in each other, so I am breaking all the blog rules, you know the ones–make short little posts of 200-300 words, tiny little sentences and bite-sized numbered lists. All the things a site is supposed to do to pander to our shorted attention spans and compete with all the shiny things. Has reading this far been too much of a commitment already? Then please go peacefully amongst the things. This is not for you. I am starting the slow blog movement which I admit, doesn’t sound as good as the slow food movement at all.
This path can get damn lonely and I know I can not be the only one who has longed for a tribe that doesn’t seem to exist. So even if we all wind up together on “the island of misfit toys”, I’d rather be there with you than without you:)
My so-called awakening.
The universe was certainly scrapping the bottom of the barrel when she hired me. Through a series of awakenings, which I will share with you over time, I have come to KNOW that my life doesn’t just belong to me anymore…it never did…and this KNOWING has started to make me very, very BRAVE. I am for certain not the only one. It is happening everywhere. How are we all to find each other? Form the 51 percent tipping point? This is an invitation to all those who are awakening to a tribal call. A passionate howl out to the rogue packs and lone wolves who until now have felt they needed to sacrifice love and community for freedom. I’m here to tell you…we can have both. So all you ragtag, creative, spirited and radical souls committed to new ways of being, you have found your TRIBE. Welcome home.
