This past year has been a revelation.
I experience myself now in stark contrast to the values and foundations of this culture, and certainly to that of the mainstream world view. This stark contrast has caused me to enter into a deeper contemplation around who I am, and the core experiences and realities that shape my personal beliefs and world view.
These are some of the core belief systems that have risen for me in this contemplation:
That there is an organizing divine principle which underlies the cosmos
That reality in general is far greater than what we perceive with our Five Senses
That the experience of Divine Mystery and Paradox are embedded within the fiber of this divine organizing life principle
That Spirit, Energy and Beings from other realities or dimensions mix and mingle in the invisible realms alongside our material bodily existence
That it possible to perceive and contact these beings through meditation, dreams, conscious journey work, plant medicine and other forms of practice
That coming into contact with these beings can assist us in our integration, healing and evolution, and bring us into greater experience with this Divine Mystery
That many of the structures of the world as we know it today are built upon incredible lies and falsehoods
That our human history on this Earth goes back much further than we are led to believe
That the history that we have been told has been written not only by the victors, but by human beings who appear to be unable to experience alternate realities, and who are unable to honor world views that are not mechanistic and materialistic in form, and therefore subjugate nature
That our current western culture is inextricably tied to the material world in grotesque ways, inverting and subverting the language of nature and spirit, minimizing practices of intuition, deep felt experience, personal gnosis, and truth
That our whole system serves to keep us completely indoctrinated into this mechanistic, materialistic world view
That the educational, medical industrial complex, government and all institutions propagate this limited and grotesque reality, further hindering us from having independent experience and expanded thought
That the indoctrination process starts at birth, and largely moves to stamp out ones ability to harness full creative potential
That great trauma and abuse is tolerated through family units and passed down through generations, often crippling our ability to integrate and become fully whole and sovereign human beings
That this trauma creates cultural trauma, and further erodes our ability to free ourselves of the sicknesses embedded within our culture
That the very structures of our world and “shared reality” are built upon systems that are deeply corrupt, that support our continued indoctrination and inability to perceive greater or higher truths
That truth is a resonance felt in the body, and that somatic healing and awareness can bring us into greater resonance with that felt truth
That human beings are largely cut off from their deep somatic experience, having not been taught tools of healing and remembrance, which give direct access to the experience of our own divine mystery
That this severing from the somatic sense serves to keep our bodies in a state of perpetual shock and trauma
That entering into the sacred space of healing the trauma within our ancestral lines and releasing the blockages literally from the soma or felt body, is a deeply powerful and revolutionary healing act that completely transforms life, experience and all perception
I truly had no idea how “radical” I am in comparison to the world at large.
Whoever you are, wherever you are on your road to integration and wholeness, I wish you all healing and deep sovereignty.
