I am finding myself wayward or neutral in areas I have been very opinionated before. It started with disillusionment of politics but has carefully crept into other areas of my life. The most noticeable, recently, is how pretty much over night I have come to accept that the advancement of technology might actually be the right thing, evolutionarily, for man. Theoretically, this goes against my most longstanding, essential core values. Values that pretty much make up my essence, and thus personality. I would consider myself a panpsychist, with first hand and continual experience of the ‘geist’ and animation within the natural world. Call it animism, paganism, monism or pantheism if you want. I have happily surrendered many hours of learning to navigating my experiences, finding nouns to apply to formerly ineffable concepts and spending time actively opting in and opening myself to more of these experiences. I 100% believe that eating a Hippocratic diet, using herbs and plants as medicine, spending the majority of your time outside, small time community-centred agriculture within small communities, analysing dream states, frivolous and strength orientated movement, breathwork, shadow work, etc. have the capacity to ‘cure’ individuals enough to warrant a collective consciousness level up, if enough people were to do so.

A majority of the world opting in to that way of thinking is obviously unrealistic.  There is, of course, the crescendo of do-gooder wellness folk that penetrate almost everybody’s IG feed by now, which I guess at least inspire some that would otherwise not have knowledge on such things. The authenticity, though, of the ‘sacred ceremonies’ I find myself questioning
