We need something cosmic to intervene and deliver us from colonial and tyrannical governments. We need a perspective that invites us to reflect on the interconnectedness of all things and find solace in the cosmic dance of existence.
Each of us will address the world’s events in our own way: some will call their representatives, some will send money, some will use their Instagram platform to raise awareness, some will pray…many will do nothing at all.
But if we can create space for discourse and if we can continue to do the work to heal our own internalized racism, misogyny, antisemitism, islamophobia, and belief systems connected to lack and limitation and the need to compete and harm others in order to get ahead, well…then, we would see more progress.
A Word from The Cosmic Mother!
As I began to meditate on how we forge a pathway forward, here is where I found myself:
The master’s tools will never destroy the master’s house said Audre Lorde so what are the tools then of the:
Healer
Lover
Artist
Alchemist
Sage
Priest
Priestess
Visionary
Poet
Organizer
Thought partner
Revolutionary
Yes, love will always be the answer but how do we teach the meaning of love if we ourselves don’t know what it is?
We can not take from another what was never ours, to begin with, and inflict harm and persecution.
We have known for decades that femininity has carried wisdom and compassion and yet as we see the wages of war and brutality we require more solidarity and amplification of centering humanity. We must cease fire!
We believe that the external, both in an individual’s life and in the collective experience, is a reflection of the internal. If we want to shift the outside, we have to go deep inside.
Without internalized oppression, misogyny, and white supremacy - all of which stem from the toxic patriarchal systems that are in place in most places around the world - the experience of the collective that is playing out right now wouldn’t be able to happen.
We want liberation for all people and hold a vision of a day when harming another would be unthinkable.
At the root of genocide, war, and the many --isms that plague our society is scarcity - the patriarchal belief system that one must fight for resources and that the few should thrive at the expense of the many.
It is easier to point a finger than it is to look inside and to ask the question:
What within me needs to heal in order for the system to change?
How am I unconsciously contributing to the pain in the world?
How am I complicit in this system?
A cease-fire is a call for peace.
It is a call to transcend the cycles of violence that humanity has been locked in for most of its known history.
