I love Freya’s blog but I have to be careful not to go too extreme on her end- too puritanical where her views become cultish like the church and where selfies are ‘sin’ and suddenly you only belong if you’re a snobby intellectual. That’s no fun. I honestly don’t feel like I fit in on any social media platform but I love to write so just doing the best I can to stay in my lane and trust I’ll attract the people I’m meant to.
I love that metaphor! It does seem like it’s presented as shameful behavior sometimes, which is not even a a very helpful narrative if we DO consider it addiction.
Our goals around these parts seem more and more aligned. I guess notes is good for something after all haha (it’s how I found you)
Hurrah! Nothing beats good old fashioned honesty. That we are here and posting must indictate that, even here on this platform of intellectuals and creatives, we can still make a difference. In the aggregate of marginal gains, in a slowly but surely manner, people are beginning to own up to their complicity in creating the reality in which we all live, love and outgrow. So that perhaps it is possible to become All that we can Be by pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps of our own consciousness and creative will, to Be the Change that we All Wish To See in the world. Is it narcissism to want to make a difference in the world, isn't it the real reason why we live in the first place. Whilst it's questionable that anything substantial will be acheived by being a presence upon these pages, particularly if all we are after is the approval of others, the quality of consciousness in the world is gained by the increment of our choices, and the Intent that lies behind them. And if it is true that we, as spiritual beings in a physical world, are all connected through primordial consciousness, perhaps we are not only changing ourselves but also the whole larger consciousness system in the process. It's all a matter of perspective and what we choose to believe - futility or function - we are what we see ourselves to Be. 🙏
This was a much better conclusion to this piece than I was able to come up with! Thanks for capturing the essence of my message and pushing it to where it really needed to go!
