Where you and I went awry was thinking it was impossible for chaos to be structured.
Complex and complicated are two totally different things.
FYI this is a doozy post, so I want to remind right off the top that there is a Relational Alchemy call tomorrow and AI Art Salon on Friday. Click the link to find the time in your area and register.
Complex and complicated are two totally different things. Knowing the difference will bring structure to chaos.
Complexity has structure. Complicated adds so many needless details that the chaos has no structure.
Where you and I went awry was thinking it was impossible for chaos to be structured. Were it not, there would be no you and I, nor fingers able to type this page. Unless there is a force that exists to structure chaos, there is no this, there is no existence.
The universe is speaking through me.
I want it to speak through all of us.
All of us.
I believe it will, but…
Please do not believe what I say… in the sense that you forget to believe yourself first.
Always first and foremost is the self knowing, the self bliss, the self nourishment, the home for oneself.
This is enough.
And family is enough. You make it enough. You choose to make it thus by finding new home of family and friends. A chosen family are we.
Things are about to get spicy.
We think our hatred will keep us safe. It will not.
We wear it like a small-house sized raincoat.
It’s made of blitzkrieg and counterfeit bliss.
I do spellwork,
this is spellwork. This is spellwork.
It is my sacred right.
It is yours, too.
These words I write. These words I speak.
This is spellwork. This is spellwork.
It is my sacred right.
It is yours, too.
It is his, too.
It is hers, too.
It is theirs, too.
It is ours.
It is us.
We are ours. We belong
together.
No, I mean really together, together
REALLYTOGETHERTOGETHER.
Yes, I mean it. And you do, too.
So let us begin. *OOpss shush don’t tell. I think we’ve already begun.*
The starting buzzer went off some years ago, wait
don’t get lost there.
It doesn’t matter when.
It’s not too late yet. Get started already. You already are.
So get moving now but in a new way. Have fun. Come back at the end and tell me how it went and how done it’s done.
We’ll have a laugh and a laugh and then more laughs.
We belong together and we belong to each other.
We belong together and we belong to each other.
We belong together and we belong to each other.
I am my home, and you are your home,
but also
we can be a home to each other’s homes.
Isn’t that incredible? Taking turns in this way, inhabiting the care another provides. The next time, having the honor of returning the favor. This grows cakes on plates and bellies that are strong enough to breed.
We’ve lost more than we can imagine or hold. It’s too much.
More than a 50% reduction in sperm count in the last 50 years and dropping even more rapidly now due to fake fragrances that disrupt our endocrine system from regulating our hormones correctly. I know you have your own private theory of what’s happening with the health catastrophe now underway. Surely you’ve noticed the obesity crisis, mental health crisis, and out-of-control levels of prescription and illicit opioids.
There were no drug antidote kits at the football game because I was fortunate enough to have grown up before parents were overdosing in the stands.
The birth rate is not about to collapse, it has already started collapsing. This means something.
Isn’t it hilarious and only so to keep from dying of the pain and grief of it that this is not the GODDAMMED CENTER NUMBER ONE PRIORITY UNTIL WE FIX IT that we take our future generations into account? That is not a question.
The younger you are the less likely you are to want to have a kid. This math does a spiral.
By fix it I mean stabilize it.
Stabilize what?
Stabilize our relationship to this fact: we are going to collapse in population due to factors and forces that were codified into the slowest pace layers, our infrastructure, tax policies, regulations, and codes.
We embedded our gradual decline into this plan. We planned for this. We created this reality by our actions.
This must be acknowledged. We did this to ourselves. If you are mad at God… where are you looking? Are you mad at a god or God or GOOOOD DOG for making such a mess. Who are you looking at? God is out there AND it’s us. It’s an inside job.
So is 7-11.
(That joke only works for Americans and those infected with our cultural knowing, which to be honest is too much of the world for my taste.)
I am not writing this. I am not this smart. Do you think I could make this up? No one is this smart. No one.
Who is we? All of us.
All of us?
Yes, all of yes all of us
no really,
all of us.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, The Esperantos.
The ones who speak all languages. They are this. They are us.
We all speak a thousand languages. We had to by now as many lives as we have all have lead.
So dread or dream in them, it’s your choice. Pick a language to dream in. Pretend by magical decree you get just one night’s jest in a language new or old or made up or very really real and then go do it. Dream in whatever language you like, tonight. You know them all. They are in you because they are all in all of us. Every space rock or mote of dust has all of the codes.
They vibrate from pure infinity. It is thus. It is this. It is thUs.
Life becomes a Hell Yes with ride-or-die friends.
Fortnightly we gather the humans who are a holy hell yes to finding our holy hell yeses (in a safe and consensual way, of course). We do a one-hour Relational Alchemy call where we engage in a kind of meditative practice where you speak from the heart of the present moment so that we can connect deeply and begin to build our tribe.
Come hang with us.
Every other Thursday
9am Pacific / noon Eastern US / 5pm London

I’m making the music video for the first sound-healing Theta track. I’d love to have you come co-create that with me. Here’s one of the frames of the movie.
