Michael Bazeley A heartfelt call to the focused application of awareness and targeted action in support of wellness. We demonstrate our capable magnificence in so many ways.

We are members of the most interesting and complex species in the history of the little blue planet. Looking at the visible downside, though, of all our intelligence and the knowledge it generates, faster than our ability to skilfully integrate with and inform the evolution of existing systems and cultures: What if what we're calling 'knowledge' is instead more just an explosion of raw data, mashe

d together into sausage skins of ideology and 'best-guesses', then twisted off in links and rushed to market, in the attempt to pass it off as 'knowledge'? Why we continue to do this - and are indeed ramping it up - is testimony to conversations we never had: about boundaries, participation and leadership; about how our social, economic, political and educational structures, institutions and the mythologies that support and reinforce them needs conscious, engaged revision and update. Let's stop pretending we have all the answers. How about instead we work on the quality of our questions?

A dear friend posted a quote to their profile that would normally draw a 'like' or 'heart' from me, as such posts from those we love tends to do.

But this one exploded in my head when I read it...

Why this unquestioned need to constantly seek or always want to head towards some 'bright side'...?

It clearly bespeaks an implied terror in contemplating darkness.

It suggests a kind of resilience, sure, but one born in a mistaken belief in our inherent fragility... a fragility reinforced by trying to divorce ourselves from our less 'savory' parts... the un-beautiful, inconsistent, incoherent and seemingly 'broken' bits of ourselves we don't want to look at, or that work against the way our ego prefers to view ourselves and wants the world to see us.

We can maintain this only by expending enormous emotional energy...reframing or selectively viewing elements to find 'bright sides' (ie., outright gaslight ourselves), or otherwise pushing it out of sight, out of mind ... and into the dark.

Yet true courage bids us all to go deeper ...to explore our capacity for not just resilience but anti-fragility. This necessitates becoming comfortable looking at - yes, even befriending the shadow... watching how it moves and thinks... and asking what it needs...

And thereby coaxing it gently back towards the light, not leaving it in the dark.

This is not the freakish 'ugly twin' as our imagination warns us, but rather the dissociated, orphaned elements of our whole self, crying for acceptance and re-integration... and a closer look at what's going on in the world.

And this can only happen in light. 😘

Contrary to popular belief...demons aren't the savage, cloven-hoofed devils of legend. They don't emerge frightfully from hell, clad in scales and flames, screaming for your death and damnation with savage, mortal blows to the heart.

The truest, most wicked and pernicious demons of all aren't even trying to kill you...
