hello summer, hello heart, hello humanity
Hello beautiful community. Here's what humanness has felt like for me lately, I like it here.
summer
summer came on strong and I fell love with everything all over again
I needed to not be anything to anyone but myself for a moment. I needed to be the wind. I’ve always needed to be the wind.
and life slowly became more meaningful not because anyone liked me or loved me but because i began to feel it wholly as my own
summer
I found my heart ripening and love came freely & it felt honest for the first time
the distortion had somehow slipped away and all that was left was the joy of becoming
summer
there are wrinkles under my eyes that weren’t there before. I like them.
the soul and heart are eternal, so time means nothing
summer
there are many ways to live this life
and Im not attached to any of them
summer
I am the enigma the mystery the anomaly. I belong everywhere and nowhere at all.
The feeling of thank you is the pulse from which my life births itself.
Generosity of the spirit is a creative act which actualizes itself freely when one knows their own heart.
summer
I’m tired of words - I’m only into feelings, the wind, and wildflowers now. I love you can be communicated in many ways. The words diminish true listening & I don’t want them anymore.
summer
I wanted to live a life where everything that matters rinsed through me and became me
summer
the end, the beginning, and everywhere in between forever more. I like it here.

And somehow summer and the heart realized itself and the ripening took its' hold in the places my life needed it the most. I've been feeling called to slow down, inhabit the heart, and connect back to physical touch as a necessity over the past several months. As the future of the collective goes deeper into technology, AI, stimulation, simulation, and screens what is essential to humanity has become more and more pressing to me on an individual level. The heart cannot be replaced by AI. Physical human touch cannot be computer generated. Profound intimacy and human connection is irreplaceable.
What cannot be technologically cloned is the human spirit and our humanity. It has felt individually very pressing to work through what is getting in the way of embodying the heart, but I am realizing this to be a collective calling to combat the future of technology. If we do not recognize our humanness we will be dictated by machines as is already apparent from our relationship with social media, our phones, and our addiction to screens. This is not going away - it's either we claim our humanity or we will be run by the machines that are getting more and more advanced each and every day. The amount of money spent in trying to steal our attention and disempower the system is quite astonishing, in order to stay intimately in touch with our humanness, we need the highest technology of our hearts, spirit, physical touch, nature, and all that we are as HUMAN to be full, inhabited, and claimed.
Anywhere we are not embodied, we can be manipulated. I'm not interested in being manipulated. I want my humanity more than any externalized goal of anything. I want my soul more than I want to be a part of a collective agreement of unconsciousness. I am not ruled by technology and my attention cannot be bought with any sort of corrupted power plays. I'm not into cheap tactics, I'm into truth. I am a human, I have a heart, this is all that matters.
Mental sovereignty is not a lofty interesting idea, it's a necessity to navigate the current realities consciously and with awake awareness. Embodiment and being in our bodies is essential in order to process the amount of stimulation being thrown at us so that it doesn't run us entirely. I have no intention of becoming a machine, but every intention of becoming more human. The future is ultimately unknown, but with its' current trajectory - I am adamant about claiming my soul and what makes me a living breathing being. Run your system or the system runs you. Claim your heart or live from the programmed mind for the rest of life.
I like to think that if what I'm creating continuously transcends the consciousness of the system I'm creating it in, the system is no longer an appropriate model for it but an appropriate model will have to arise because there's enough energy behind it. I do think it's possible to thrive in one's own system in one's own way because it's hopeful for the human spirit. The hope is the fuel, it's the momentum of energy. I truly do believe that. We are all leaders even if it hasn't been actualized yet. Claim your system.
I debated whether or not to send this, as always there's a layer of intensity to my words and work. But I do think remembering who we are as HUMANS and embodying our soul is urgent in a way. The soul has already started to become a lost language, and we are working against people with a lot of "power", "money", and resources that we must shift into a higher state of consciousness in order to navigate wisely and with agency. Let's not miss the human in the human journey.
Do with this, and all things, what you will
Thanks for reading!!

Book: "The myth of normal" by Gabor mate
Other: Rocks as grounding, tree spirits as divine communication, wildflowers that teach me love as the highest currency, Mazzy (pup) licking my face every morning, how sunlight dances on my walls differently each day
