This time of covid and quarantine is a rite of passage for humanity, and phenomenally rapid change is possible. What we believe and what we project into the world matters deeply- especially in times of chaos, when a new story is being written. Let us act wisely in the wake of this culture-shifting pandemic.
IN THE INTERVIEW:
- Everything happening as a result of coronavirus is an intensification of trends already in place
- Acknowledging that we don’t know what’s going on, and likely never will, to the extent we’d like to believe we do
- Making sense of the competing narratives around COVID19
- Is reality bifurcating? What is the relationship between belief and reality?
- Conspiracy theories don’t leave enough room for ordinary human folly, and the world is not that controllable
- However, the tilt of civilization has been skewing ever closer to totalitarian control, and this is heightening that
- War mentality and going deeper than the constant search for a new enemy to fight
- Asking, instead, what conditions were in place to create this?
- The possibility that this shifts the current medical paradigm
- Do we choose further disconnection, or do we reclaim human togetherness?
- Propagating a new story- what we radiate out in this potent moment is a suggestion to others about what’s possible for humans
- We won’t survive life, so what can this collective lesson in dying teach us?
- The more we are governed by security, the more anemic our lives become
- Our actions matter- recovering the primordial knowing of our own power and the connection between self and cosmos
- Real health comes from community- it is an illusion that we can thrive in isolation
- Shifting the prepping paradigm from personal hoarding to preparing to help others
- When humans disrupt the matrix of interbeing, proliferation of novel viruses, disease-bearing ticks, etc, is inevitable
- Generosity of community is the only reliable insurance policy
AFTERWORD:
- Ecological interbeing, nature connection as antidote, and a pandemic of possibility
