Yes, it's not simply a new way of thinking that we need, but a new way of BEING in the world. A being that is fully alive, attuned to the present, and from which thinking, in tandem with feeling and sensing, arise unselfconsciously from the depths of our core carrying us into action wu wei style.
I love this, Alex. I wish I could upload a pic, but this concept (which I believe I’ve been yearning for at least since the election results in 2016), is what led me to paint my god. Here’s how I describe her/them: my god is a big, beautiful, woman. My god uses she/her and they/them pronouns. My god’s skin is the color of every human’s skin on earth all at once, so it is golden brown. My god has everyone’s hair and everyone’s eyes. She has one arm and one wing, and a big, hoop rainbow skirt. I would love to have conferences under that skirt. Everyone is invited, and weapons are evaporated. ❤️
Congratulations Alex, as an Australian native I can confirm getting published in The Australian is a big deal as a writer. I think it's great your views are impacting a wider audience, such wisdom and integrity in your perspective.
One of your bests, my friend. This piece somehow managed to be far-reaching and all-encompassing without being emotionally or psychologically overwhelming. ❤️🙏

It seems that every time your fingers touch the keyboard, my heart is lifted. Thank you Alex.
