There is an enormous feeling of hopelessness within the truth community.
Too many lack the sentiment that goodness can actually win, that perhaps there are larger forces at work beyond our comprehension, that awakening is not just about facts but it is about seeing the spiritual in everyday life, and that it is a process which happens in stages incrementally, that mythology is the great template through which we might comprehend the forces of shadow and light more deeply, that mythology has shown us over and over again that countless charlatans have opened the door for great visionaries, that life is not black and white but rather about dancing in active play with the great mystery of it all, swinging between the pairs of opposites both within and without, all while grounding in the light every single day.
This grounding will give us hope, and fortify our power to engage in the necessary play of what is before us, guided by the larger arc of coming ever closer to nature’s sacred way.
The power of myth and mystery should not be cast aside. It is our a great map, it reveals to us the signposts which have the ability to guide us through the labyrinth. Through these great stories we also move away from black and white thinking, and begin to comprehend that truly unlikable and dreadful people, villains even, may become the most surprising of heroes. Mythology has shown us over and over again that regardless of who a person actually believes themselves to be, they may be used for ill, or for good.
The world of the materialist, the world that refuses to read the signs and engage the great mystery, the world that is tied to intellect and facts only, the world that is bound to black and white thinking, this is their world - the world of algorithms and the world of the machine. This is the world that is leading us straight down into the mechanical heart of the beast. That world, riddled with fear, paranoia, and hopelessness, is doomed to their projections - because that is all that it can actually imagine.
Our world is the world of visioning, the world of intuition, mythology and mystery, the world of the blood red beating heart and the pure awakening of consciousness spiraling upward in a numinous and ecstatic embrace of cosmic harmony and symphonic order.
In this world, our human world, mystery is the foundation, and life unfolds in surprising, nonlinear, and spiral pathways. In this world, the intellect does not reign supreme, and mythology is the great guide for the path of the human soul.
This is the way that we ultimately will win this war against nature, this war against the human heart, because this is our way.
This is the way which represents the development of our highest faculties.
This is the way that the machine can never tread.
It is time to step out of the linear, out of the black and the white, out of the mind of the machine, with its hopelessness and apocalyptic doom, and deep into the heart of humanity.
It is time to engage the great mystery and play of it all, as only we can.
It is far past the appropriate time, but now is now .. thanks for the beautiful piece of writing
I have been trying to do this through meditation to 'journey' and visualize intuitively. I think subjectivity is my truth in these difficult times... The other day I saw that you like RFK jr. and, no doubt he is very interesting. I happen to be intuitively getting the same sort of feeling about him as I had about Trump in 2016, which is to say he is a step in my direction but I am very wary. You and I both have been liberals in the past, and have both been disgusted with the Democrats recently so if RFK jr. is running as an 'old school' Dem., he will be smeared or he will have to sell out to the 'new left'. jmo. I always enjoy your emails even if I occasionally have a different point of view. Thank you Mare.
