I love every bit of this. I am a christian pastors son who grew up in the church and has 2 biology degrees and I’ve only recently started to deconstruct my capitalist, colonial, individualistic understanding of both and you have provided me with so much clarity.

I want you to go easy on yourself. that guilt is colonial in “lateness”... in deep time you’re right on time. i’m always grateful for what you weave together, this piece is more inspirational than the others, but it’s a piece of a grander puzzle. and like fishes that come up to see the sun this came up to bow to the land. while exploited and despoiled-- yet so capable of healing and our reverence if we all slow down. sending you good health and many peaceful days. xx

Loved this!! To be perfectly honest, I have subscribed for a couple weeks and this is the first newsletter that I actually read from beginning to end. But then again, this is the kind of stuff that really lights me up. I love thinking and writing and reading about how science and faith are the same, how we are all connected, how we know nothing of this vast mysterious universe, and yet we continue to try because to learn and to know is an act of love...

Please keep writing like this if it feels easier and more true for you. I am struggling with my own writing right now, mostly due to the pressure I put on myself despite being ill. It helps so much to see writers I admire admitting that they too have struggles. I think it is so important that more of us do this, to show that all thoughts deserve space, regardless of how polished or timely they are.

I couldn't sleep last night, so I started to ask my Echo device questions, like: "How many planets are in the universe? ("Quintillion"). How many human beings have walked the Earth? ("117 Billion. This means 93% of humans that have ever lived are now dead.")" -- I was having my usual existential feelings about being 'one human being.' So waking up to this feels deeply satiating and wonderful. Thank you <3

This had real moments in it. Such a love threading through word speak. At times it’s as if what’s dawning in my experience that I call our symbiotic intra-connectedness is dawning in people all over. By intra-connectedness I’m speaking of the great spirit and great mystery of permeating cosmic consciousness that holds, cares for, abides in and lives through everything. We are not just part of the greater whole, but scientifically hologramically speaking, the whole is within us, religiously speaking the ocean is within the drop that is within the ocean. From Unity scientist Nassim Haramein all information of the all passes through even through the ‘black whole’ center of the smallest particle of which we can conceive.

The sentience is cosmic Beingness is within ever particle of existence and is in a dynamic feedback loop of information sharing going on throughout the sacred life of the holyfractalgram (sacred infinitely intelligent hologram of fractal patterned designs). Here we reach farther out in our inquiry as divine science makes itself visible in ever-changing dynamic ways moment by exquisite moment.

I am so grateful the word is getting out, that consciousness is making the radical shift from the false state of separation to the real and true one of endless discovery. I agree we will not be able to comprehend it all, that’s in the hands of a vast cosmic intelligence that works beyond conception, inconceivable to our linguistically conditioned minds, but our consciousness isn’t other than it either. It’s what Einstein pointed to when he said he “wanted to know the thoughts of God” as if we could perhaps find some of them. Like the inspiration for E=mc2. What is light but conscious awareness that plumbs the depths of experiencing itself as everything that comprises life and existence from within it? The evidence that care for all is in it all is being ever more closely apprehended even while the materialist separatist paradigm continues to try and dominate.

The people caught in such a predominant worldview, and those who use it for profit are my Belovèd living lives of suffering, no matter how wealthy and dominant they appear in a worldly sense. They cannot control what is beyond control, but in childhood they learned to survive by living that way. It’s unhealthy and bringing about great difficulties, but it is not greater that This Life of Love that is of cosmic intrapenetrative unity consciousness. The dynamic aliveness is within every level and domain of existence, mineral, vegetable, animal(humans), and is of holy spiritual origin unfolding it all as a unity from beyond time and space and right within the spacetime continuum.

Thank you for an inspiring post. May your life continue to unfold such deeply heartfelt offerings. ✌️🙏🤝
