8 Billion of us. Not a monolith. Reflectors and reflections. Not passive. Our minds and intentions, though separate and individual, are irrevocably linked. Impassioned. We come out of each other and go into each other. We affect each other. Often unaware. But not everyone. Some - awakened to the expansive potential of evolutionary hospitality and to the options of insightful nourishing-and-flourishing equitably available to the entire community - have chosen to create the kind of supportive ecosystem essential to that higher order of cultivation. Welcome.
When we know better we are in an informed state to do better, for we have agency; the choice becomes ours. Choosing is a gift, a privilege of being, a pathway creator, an owned action in this dynamic world where all acts, without exception, and every condition no matter their state, have consequences known and unknown, intended and unintended, without deference or unjustified favor to its actor(s) and with total moral indifference to the state of that act's environment. We are what we do - all of it - this doing becomes us. We are connected. We can choose to connect better.

Welcome to SEASON NINE, 'A New Era' - Episode 2 - Competent Courage - curated by Neville DeAngelou. We are discovering ways and means of expanding our inner models of reality. We are uncovering and applying intelligent strategies for building long-lasting healthy relationships, inculcating relevant habits, exploring techniques suitable for constructing an ecosystem that can facilitate communal flourishing, and developing the courage required to be truly competent. The challenge remains not merely to deconstruct whatever is 'wrong' in our spheres, rather it is to then construct what proves to be better - step by step, decision by decision, choice by choice. We are the world. This universe is our home. Better to enjoy it. Better to share it.
As much as is affordable for matters that matter, afford yourself a 360 degree view. You may find this of great value in ways you had not imagined nor known to account for. It is highly probable you will also encounter awesome insights that are of no relevance to who you are or what you are about, and that you will make observations you are ill-equipped to comprehend. It is highly likely you will encounter delightful delusions, and disconcerting illusions, and lots of bs disguised as helpful secrets. It may very well not be incumbent upon you to contest or combat any of these, but they will inform you, and will assuredly put upon you the onus to be ever more discerning and to be ever smarter with your decisions and clearer with your intentions, for all in all these will profitably test your faith and mirror your trust, and render you that much better. As much as is affordable for matters that matter, afford yourself a 360 degree view.

In the complex composition of this life each of us has a role to play. This is our home. Yes? And this is YOUR LIFE; only you can live it.

Take Action
"Know what you own. Understand what you claim. Believe you can achieve what you conceive then call it by its name. Mine! The extent to which you have this clarity of mind, this purity of understanding, this strength of belief, you have the fire, the fuel, the impetus, the passion, the determination, the willpower you require to pursue and retrieve your truest desire. But do not claim what does not belong to you. It will not keep you . . . it will suffer you but for only so long."
You are valued. You are important. What you experience is important. Your intention matters. You are a whole being. You are a true wonder. You diminish yourself whenever you pit valued elements of who you are against vital elements of who you are: your intuitive self against your intellectual self, your rational self against your emotional self, your gut against your heart against your head. Don't be put at war against yourself: you are a masterpiece. An intricate being. Human!
Across the nation and around the world there is a long rumble.
It is a rumble so loud it strikes ready ears as a distant clap of a fierce thunder. It is a rumble so low, it rides beneath the noise of a thousand human fears; it can no longer be heard. Fear of flight, fear of heights, fear of sand, fear of snow, fear of monsters in the closet, fear of bugs in the pillow, fear of cats, fear of bats, fear of strangers at the door, fear of being lost, fear of being laughed at, fear of being stuck in the toilet bowl, fear of whites, fear of blacks, fear of browns, blues and yellows, fear of nakedness, fear of the unknown, fear of being hurt.
