This diversity of our experience drives us or divides us in unimaginable ways. Over generations, we have drifted from deep communal relationship with the earth. We have caged ourselves in concrete rooms and overloaded our bodies and senses with a neurological need for the next dopamine or serotonin ‘hit’. Many have forgotten the rhythms of nature; the ebb and flow of the oceans, the cycles of the sun, moon and stars. Ideologies, have become the monotonous drone of our consciousness and moved us into deep forgetting; from awe into subjugation, control and profound loss.

Over eons, our minds and hearts have become fertile grounds of separation and segregation. We have turned on our bodies; segmented our minds and barred our hearts. We have become conditioned to cast away, destroy or deny aspects of ourselves, others or the world that does not fit. To look at what ‘offends us’ feels uncomfortable…it makes us feel shame, anger, fear or hatred.

The calamities of the world - Who’s fault is it? Who is the enemy?

We have become entranced on duality – in a battle of right or wrong. On a societal level, this denial or attacking has resulted in war after war. In war, we have lost ourselves, and lost our homes – becoming displaced humans, in an unquenchable thirst for belonging that has been etched on the soul of humanity. Trans-generational trauma has led to an imbalance in resources and both mental and physical illness is rampant, taking no preference.
