A remembrance whose time has come

Hello dear readers,

I wanted to share a Facebook post I wrote last week as I was sitting with the emergence of this body of work I call Life Culture. It feels to me as though a coherent stream of wisdom is coming onto the planet now through a network of souls who have heard its call and are devoting themselves to its practice and articulation. I wrote the following:

I believe the purpose of incarnation is to experience radical ecstatic aliveness together and participate in the continuity of creation such that future generations may also receive that gift.

…

This realization occurs to me as an emanation from a stream or channel of living wisdom that is emerging now through me and my kin, reflected back to me in resplendent glory by my relatives, including but not limited to:

Samantha Sweetwater, Sophia Life, Sheri Herndon, Josie Siegel, Sophie Strand, Sophie Burns, Charles Eisenstein

The texture of this stream feels Sophianic, what Josie calls Artemesian. It rhymes with the Radiance Sutras dancing with the Tao Te Ching. It is ancient and futuristic. It is indigenous to the cosmos and indigenous to the subtle, complex uniqueness of the very Earth beneath your feet. Whatever concepts it invokes are hung tenderly upon the embodied and literal metaphors of the elements, the spiral turning of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, and the circular dance of birth, decay, and death. It is so immanent and ever-present that it feels almost too obvious to say and yet spurs us forward to speak it as devotees of beauty and remembrance. It is tantric and ecstatic awareness pouring fully into the flesh of Being. It contains the totality of experiencing without making wrong or casting out. It is a relational, contextual, embodied understanding of right relationship, care, and connection with what is. It stretches open the heart to be annihilated by grief and pleasure. It invites us to return to the simple beauty of what is here before us, our kin, our place, our knowing, our doing, our loving, our being with and being for All Life, our interdependence, and our fully ensouled choice to participate in the gift of being alive.

Sophia taught me to call it Life Culture.

Samantha taught me to call it being a True Human.

Sheri taught me to call it the New Social DNA.

Josie taught me to call it Kinship.

Sophie taught me to call it Radical Romance.

Charles taught me to call it The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible.

I believe it is one stream, one current, one channel of remembrance whose time has come.

/end.

This is the body of work I am devoting my Life towards articulating, embodying, and actualizing.

Thank you, dear reader, for being part of that journey.
