Come celebrate Earth with us during our Matrice Ceremony co-hosted by MUSEA’s Founding Curate Shiloh Sophia and our Creative Doula Kathleen Brigidina.
Together, we will immerse our creative spirits in the essence of MUSEA’s CURA Council’s 500 Year Vision for the Quantum Commons which includes 8 community ceremonies that follow the wheel of the year. During 2025 each of our ceremonies will showcase Animystica’s New Creation Stories written by MUSEA Guild members who will read excerpts and share their art from the book they created during our Animystica course.
We are thrilled to announce we will be joined by our wonderful Animystica Author/Artist Susan Reed and the delightful singer/musician Heidi McCurdy during our Matrice Ceremony. Our stories create a layered masterpiece that tells a new story of the future we are co-creating. is not only an invitation to celebrate Earth, it is also an opportunity for you to renew your personal interconnection to Earth as she breathes deep inside with you. You are invited to have a heart opening experience full of story, art, music and prayer where we kindle the inspiring fires of community in this time of global need.
This will be a time to fill your own well as we weave the stories of our ancestors around the world and reflect on ancient Celtic traditions together.
Earth ceremonies give us permission to pause, reset, and multiply our intentions with each other for Earth and all creation. You will be invited to share your own unique intentions if you feel called to.
Matrice, also known as Lunasa is a ceremonial day rooted deep in Celtic culture celebrating the beginning of Harvest season which is carried on for the entire month.
Join us as we continue centuries of tradition by celebrating Earth’s abundance.
Join us as we honor the cocreative Matrice (womb) of our community by gathering around our virtual bonfire. Recognizing the potent gifts we are individually and collectively birthing in the world for good. As we weave our heart power together our intentions will multiply, and our stories will reignite and awaken those of our ancestors around the world with evolutionary momentum.
Please bring your own intentions to our gathering to share.
As always, we will deepen our community roots with one another, as we experience ceremony, an Earth guided visualization, story-telling, art, and music.

Transcript
I feel like I rarely say what I really see and feel. And if I ask myself why, I really have to dive deep to get to the place of what it is that stops me. Maybe it's because of the questions that would come after or the resistance.
In a world where we post socially and send newsletters and do substacks, it means we're exposing our visions, ideas, dreams, theories, and conspiracies to a “audience” that then feels at liberty to comment in any way they choose, which makes sense. It's a supposedly free country.
But I still find myself challenged to say what I'm really seeing, what I'm really feeling, what I'm really hearing, and what I'm really hoping for. Why is that? I honestly feel it's because I don't want to deal with whatever the backlash would be. That there's an energy when you are said to have a “platform”
Which I guess I do, but that people pressurize you to “use your platform” as if it's this obligation to speak out on every single topic of justice and injustice happening in the world. Otherwise you're being negligent. I get accused on a regular basis of not being vocal enough.
But the things that sometimes people write in that they want me to be vocal about aren't the things that I want to talk about. Not because I don't care. Not because I'm not tracking. But because I have a particular focus. That is where I'm choosing to spend my life for us.
I've been going through a kind of harrowing health experience that I don't talk about very much because I don't want to deal with the questions, so I don't talk about it. And yesterday, after spending the day in ER with a hereditary condition that I'm not going to get into the details about, but let's just say it was greatly influential in the completion of my grandmother's life prematurely on my paternal side. And navigating this since 2021. And yet being someone who has just a profound level of life force, which I am so grateful for. And my life force gets increased in frequency and power, in community, in love, in care, in devotion. That is not what drains me.
So sometimes the people in my life think I'm overgiving and sometimes I do. But it comes out of the purest overflowing part of me. This love of my community and their communities. But there's something about navigating health which asks you to put your house in order.
So I've been working on my estate, Cosmic Cowgirls Trust, and making sure that if I should disappear quickly, that things are in the way I want them to be. And it's a powerful experience because the liminality of life and death, and don't worry, I'm not about to die, but that liminality of it when you're in the emergency room and you're just like - what if this is it? You know i brought my jammies and my own socks and my own eye mask just in case i didn't get out of there again.
You just don't know, and that liminality causes you to want to make sure that things are as you want them to be and so i've been writing letters and setting up my estate and doing the different things that I need to do in case I should glitch out in this particular incarnation.
What matters to me? I'm working on a painting right now that matters to me. It was a painting assignment for my class called The Quickening that I said: the assignment is that if this painting was found on a cave wall in 500 years, they would know what your people were about and what you cared about. And if it was on a billboard right now and 100,000 people were going by a day, people would be able to interpret what it actually means. What's in the painting? We just had a gorgeous museum show of those paintings by most of the students. You can find those over at imusea.org. The Intentional Creativity Foundation Museum that we founded in 2016.
My painting, which I haven't revealed yet because it's so sacred to me, includes all the elements, earth, air, fire, water, stardust, wood, stone, ether. And it also includes creatures like bats and bees and ants and butterflies that we could not live without on this planet. I keep working this painting because it just means so much to me to communicate. In image. What matters? (The image with this podcast is a crop from the larger 5 foot painting)
Because it feels like we're in a time. It's what the Christian part of my family would call the end times. It's what they would say that the trumpet is about to sound to come into the feast because of the things we're seeing in the world. It's what they would say. The things are coming to pass in the prophecies that let us know the end is near. Yeshua would say…until the end, there will be people coming and going and marrying and being given in marriage. In Revelation 12, it talks about the woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of 12 stars. And she is travailing in pain and birth to be delivered. But there's another great power in heaven. And that power in heaven seeks to devour the woman and the child as soon as it is born. Revelation is said to be metaphoric. But when I think about those old scriptures of my youth and I think about this idea of the feminine, who is standing on the moon and crowned with stars and is friends with mountains and has the wings of eagles and hides in the mountain for time and time and time again. And then I think about this other force which is seeking to harm the woman and harm her child. It doesn't seem metaphoric at all. It seems like we're in an extremely dangerous time.
I don't talk about it a lot because I'm not actually educated enough to talk about it in a cogent way. Because there's so many things changing every single day. That I don't feel like I can be an authority on the evolution of the changes that's all happening so quickly. Just the things that have been happening over the past couple weeks. Because I am tracking it all. I just can't track it quick enough to get it communicated in a way that's coherent.
But I'll just say that the things that I'm seeing over the past month demonstrate an extreme acceleration that I know that you're seeing and feeling and make it challenging for our bodies to navigate and our brains to comprehend and our hearts to remain open. The acceleration, and I'm not saying I'm against AI as a whole thing, so please don't message me back…Oh, AI has these great things about health. I got it. I'm talking about an acceleration of a particular kind of information that's happening so quickly that it's literally hard to digest and process. It's happening through porn. It's happening through trafficking. It's happening through politics. It's happening through fake media.
It's happening through so many different layers. You know, watching videos thinking you're watching Bruce Springsteen crying with Lady Gaga on the stage only to find out it's a complete fabrication. Watching Heartful posts about these amazing stories and then they're just complete fabrications. Like who's benefiting from us being so confused about what's actually happening?
I mean, I'm not going to get into that today. Who's benefiting? But the level of acceleration and confusion is exponential and our bodies are being challenged by this. Our brains are inflamed around this and our hearts are challenged to stay open.
I feel like my assignment up until now, for these past 30 years of the development of intentional creativity, intentional community, intentional chemistry, intentional connection, have been so much about You know, just basic care to provide the tools for intentional consciousness. And there's something that happens, y'all, when you paint that's different than meditation. It's different than somatics because it's directly connected with access to consciousness and to consciousness itself, how we think, how we read the field, how we perceive other people, our capacity to distinguish between what is real and what is not. Discernment, the level of discernment that is needed.
One of the things that happened yesterday in the hospital, I talked about having a lymphatic massage for lymphatic drainage because I was talking about health symptoms and how immediately my system became re-blocked. And usually that doesn't happen when I have a lymphatic clearing. And this beautiful young doctor just turned to me and he said:n what's lymphatic drainage? And then as the day would go on, because I was there almost all day, we compared two scans of my body - what's different between a scan from a month ago and a scan from yesterday.
It was almost the whole day before I could figure out the right question to ask, to understand the very small distinction between a month ago and now so that I could discover what was going on. But they didn't think to tell that to me, right? I had to ask so many complex questions to discover what was missing in my healing regime right now. And also what was different about the pain I was experiencing and why. They weren't going to tell me I had to dig. And when you're in ER and you're have an IV and you're just like, what the frick? Right. Like just what the heck is going on to try to be clear enough to ask questions that get you the answers you need. And then, of course, I'm going to pass them to my naturopathic doctor because in the Western system, they're not going to actually create the, you know, the connections for you. Just that that's happening, right? That we're in a culture where Western medicine doesn't know that there's something called lymphatic drainage as a symptom, right? As something to look at.
Just the fact that we buy something online and before we know it, we're getting that thing every month and we can't figure out where we got to. And we thought we ordered it one time, but suddenly the cat food... is appearing every single month and you can't find where that spot is and the auto renews and the passwords. Or how about this week when I was looking for something and I typed in the letter a and I inadvertently clicked search instead of typing the rest of the word and porn came up on my stories, not people I know and then, and the next thing that happens, I test it and I do B search and porn and C search and porn and D search.
So it's like every corner of our lives, they're set up to show us things. I was reading a compelling article and I was like, oh my gosh, are you serious? Is this really happening? And I click on it and it says your phone has been compromised. So the hypervigilance that even someone like me, who's raised in a feminist household with an extreme level of discernment, a level of balanced hypervigilance as I watch and prepare and protect, someone who works with women and children to be a protector and a guardian. Someone who in birth settings in the Western world, I was literally charged with protecting the cord. So the doctors didn't clamp the cord before the information from the body of the mother is transferred to the child. I've been guardianing for a really long time and it's right for my system. It's who I am.
I am a protector. But the thing that's happening now, unless you're going to sleep or bypassing is something that is asking us to come to a higher level of consciousness and my concern is, and this is what I don't talk about a lot, is I look around and even people very close to me and people who have practiced intentional creativity, and I realize I'm making a judgment in my mind, that person must go to the next level of consciousness and they are caught in patterns. They're caught in trauma. They're caught in ego. They're caught in loops. They think everything's about them.
But it's like this, we're all in this protective zone. And if I try to say to someone, I need you to up level with me right now because I can see that there's a block because I also have some forms of intuitive seeing that…And it's like, I can't quite get even some people really close to me to the next level. It's so close, but why we can't get to the next level of consciousness is because the brain, heart, hands connection needs to be recalibrated because We need to consciously choose to evolve. And we can't do that if we think we got it going on. We can't actually consciously evolve, including me, if I'm like, okay, I got this. You kind of got to get that you don't got it, and there's something more available. We know that we're not using the majority of our brain that's available to us. We know that. And... I don't know what the statistics are now, but it used to be like 7%. We're using 7%. So I would talk a lot to my students about what I call the quivering edge of 8. And the quivering edge of 8 is like where you're going to go from where you are to the next place by conscious choice. And Intentional Creativity can help with that. It's one of the ways that it helps without spiritually bypassing and without needing to believe in something particular, a spiritual belief.
Literally, if you go to the canvas, you start to paint, you set an intention, you move the brush, your heart and brain start firing and wiring, you stop the chatter. The critic goes to tea with someone else and then all of a sudden you're dropping in and the material which is yours starts to come in because you are an ancient soul having a modern experience and when you connect with your consciousness and your higher self, you get a capacity to start to receive other levels of information which then can activate a conscious evolution spike, if you will. I'm using that word because you kind of pop up out of like you're like this little ground squirrel and you just pop your head up out.
“You're like, oh, my gosh, there's something more over there.”
This is one of the reasons my father was a heroin addict, because he's like, over there, I am myself and I know what's going on. And I try to bring that self back into this reality. And then I crash back into my body and I'm like, dang, I didn't do it. And so I go back over there and I try to find it again. This is why many people do psychedelics, because you pop out of this construct and into another place. And that place gives you access to different information. And the work of the shamans is to try to bring a little bit of that information back into your day to day.
My work, Intentional Creativity, our work, our intentional community, is to demonstrate how intention with intentional chemistry and intentional consciousness and intentional community and intentional connection can actually bring us to that next level of consciousness.
I want something more.
There's a way that I'm seeing so many people in my community and certainly in the greater communities and the collective where we have to pop into this next spot, and we're not doing it, and we're not doing it because we're freaking confused because we're in chaos.
Jonathan's new book Chaos is the New Black talks about why that's also intentional because we're in hypervigilance and because our bodies are in fight or flight. Because we cannot digest the information that is coming through too quickly. Because we're at once attracted to the glam of AI and repelled by the reality that people are googling: how to kill other people and how to commit suicide. And AI is providing explicit detail on how to do that. We're called and repulsed. We are hijacked right now. Some of my more cosmic friends believe that there are nefarious beings who are harvesting our fear energy. I'm not going to go into that category right now because that's not actually where I live. I get it. I hear that story. Maybe that's a part of one of the paradigms. There's the other paradigm, the extractive capitalist and the... Cabal and the conspiracy and then what's happening in the United States with the Epstein files and all of those things.
All of that is creating a static, which making us challenged to up level. I'm not saying I'm 100% awake and 100% conscious and I got it going on. Actually, no, I don't. I know I don't. Right. But that knowing that I don't is helpful in saying, I don't know, but I know there's something else here. Show me what it is. So when I'm at the canvas and I'm painting, praying, I'm saying, Show Me. That's something that Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes said is the most powerful prayer, Show me, Mother Life, show me what I am not seeing.
But it's hard to do for yourself. It's hard to do for health. It's hard to do for romance. It's hard to do for fertility. It's hard to see into the matter-based reality. It's easier to see in the quantum, but it doesn't always translate into the physical body. That energy equals matter at the speed of light has some challenges right now. We have a hard time getting matter at the speed of light returned to energy, like blockages in the body, lymphatic drainage, like all of the blocks, stagnation, inflammation. That's stuff that can't get back across the equal sign into energy again. We need a flow. I call it the infinity, the flow between the the internal body, internal landscape, the matter at the speed of light, or what appears as matter at the speed of light, back into the form, which is supposed to be equal, which is energy. Our bodies are not able to get the density back into the frequency of movement. And we've got to have movement, which is why I swim and walk and pray and paint because I need that movement to get my body moving to that next place.
So I've shared with you today a couple of the things that I don't talk about clearly the way that I am now. Although I realize this is kind of a rant, I'm going in a whole bunch of different places, but it's not unintentional. I'm intentionally taking you on a little journey to ask you this very specific question. And it's not unlike the question of the matrix. Remember the movie from 1999 where they were battling AI, battling the machines for the freedom of our minds. And the ultimate question when Trinity leans into Neo for the first time in the nightclub is about the search: what is the question? And the question is: What is the matrix? And then Morpheus also asks Neo, What is the matrix?
So What is the matrix? Want to know what is going on here? What is this construct, this fabrication that we're living in and how do we engage with it in a conscious way such that we can free our minds? Bob Marley says, emancipate yourself from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.
How do you free your mind if you don't even know that you're encaged? There's a quote attributed to Harriet Tubman: I could have brought a lot more people to freedom if they just knew that they were enslaved.
I'm not saying you're enslaved with a capital E. I thought Prince was rather dramatic, even though Warner Brothers wouldn't let him use his name, so he put slave on his cheek and changed his name to the symbol. I don't want to use those terms. Those are far too dramatic. They could have some basis, however, because if we're trapped in a system that requires certain kinds of insurance, if we're trapped in a system where we live in a trailer park, but they keep raising the rent on the land, if we're trapped in a system where medical doctors don't have any idea what lymphatic drainage is, if we're trapped in a system where we type in a letter, and we get porn, if we're trapped in a system of password hell, if we're trapped in a system where sex trafficking is being allowed and children are actually being raised inside, born and raised inside of systems, if we're trapped in a system where one in four women, depending on the current statistic reported has experienced sexual abuse, but we don't actually know any men who have committed it, that's a kind of entrapment, y'all. You know what I'm talking about.
A lot of my students after years of working with me keep saying abou the world like, I just feel like I've been duped. I just feel like I've been duped. And it's like, yeah, you have. I have. I'm in it too. I'm not out of it. But I am on the quivering edge of it. Because I had conscious moms. And even in some ways, a conscious dad. I had three parents who continued to ask me their version of what is the matrix. Where are we? What are these constructs?
What is this Western educational system where you're going to be a healer and so you go in and you become a therapist and you end up with $300,000 worth of debt that if you do a business plan for it, there's just like almost no way you could ever get that paid off seeing clients. And so you become an entrepreneur and then you sign up for a $10,000 coaching package to create a click funnel so that you can generate income so that you can become a mega superstar so that you too can create seven figures with your intelligence. So you can pay off your $300,000 worth of debt because you're a healer who wanted to offer therapy. I mean, come on. You can see these structures, right? You can see how these structures are said to be designed to help us. But they're actually entrapping us. And they're entrapping us through health, through the kind of education that has been provided, through capitalism, through the ever-increasing debt.
I took a loan, sort of not knowing it, through my financial team, during COVID. And the likelihood of me being able to pay that off, like I've ran the numbers, and in order to just like pay it off with profit is just so unlikely. I'm a powerful manifester. I've made millions of dollars out of zero dollars just with my ideas. But to clear a chunk like that without doing some mega marketing plan where I'm just participating in the extractive model. Oh, high ticket or volume. Click, click, click. Just keep going. You'll get there. Where? I don't want to get anywhere. I want to get right here. And I want to work with our community to become more and more and more conscious.
So today, the question is not, what is the matrix?
Because that's also an externalized question about “what's out there”. The question I want to ask you, hopefully your consciousness is primed through this rant, right in this moment for you to actually hear what I'm asking you for. And I am directly asking you:
“What is it that is next on your path for you to come into another level of consciousness that is available to you? I want it to be safe. I don't want you to blow your mind. But what do you need to do, beloved? Who do you need to be? How do you need to spend this day in order for you to up level to the next consciousness that's available to you? That your soul wants to bring to you?
We know your soul wants to bring your consciousness to you, because as soon as you're dancing and as soon as you're painting and as soon as you're in conscious ecstasy and as soon as you're in meditation, you start to receive the information about who you are and what your sacred assignments are that you forgot this lifetime. You can remember. You can start to remember.
I remembered enough to dedicate 30 years of my life to this thing I call Intentional Creativity and to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars of jobs for women doing something they love. I remembered enough to do that parallel to the extractive capitalism system, which is ever increasing. It's hold. on the entrepreneurs and on the businesses so that the shareholders can benefit.
I'm asking you with all my heart and all my brain and my hands, because if you could see me talking right now, you see my hands moving.
What do you need to take the next step in consciousness?
You're going to have to drop the ego here, and a little bit of thinking you already know. You're going to have to drop the victim a little bit, just a little bit, because that frequency, not that you haven't been a victim, but that frequency keeps you from elevating to the next level. You're going to have to drop narcissistic tendencies of thinking it's all about you and everyone's against you and nobody sees you and you're just doing all this stuff and no one gets you. Like you're going to have to drop needing to be seen. Like all of these things are valid that you want them. But they keep you trapped in a place that keeps you from up-leveling.
Becoming more conscious is not even about “up”. It's not even down. It's not a direction. It's like a deepening. I don't know how to explain it in 3D language. It's like an amplification of the potential of what is. It's like a sound wave, right? It's a frequency.
It's not about up or down. It's not about in or out. It's like... I don't know. It's like a rising sun. It's radiant. It's like the beginning of an orgasm. It's orgasmic. It's coming on. It's turning on. It's like turning on your consciousness. Like when you get turned on sexually, that feeling that happens in your body, track it next time. It's like that for consciousness. It's the quivering edge of consciousness. And you have to drop your attachments to what's holding you back. The most popular thing they say about getting to that next level, I'm just going to call it that for the moment, is that you have to drop your fear.
But I'm not going to ask you to drop your fear. You know why? Because there's plenty of things to fear. So fear in certain doses that is connected with discernment, I'm not talking about just wholesale fear when there's nothing to fear. I'm talking about fear that's connected with discernment. But you can't just drop fear and move into love. If we could do that, we would have done that already. I'm talking consciously…Just letting the fear and the love just be there. Okay? Just let it be there. Because sometimes there's not a lot you can do to feel the frequency of love if you're not feeling loved or loving. There's not a lot you can do to drop the fear. if you feel fearful and there's reasons to fear.
I'm asking you to just go into a parallel context here that we're co-creating right now as a field condition. Right now, I'm making this field condition of consciousness with you no matter when you hear this. And that parallel field condition has a question for you. What is the very next step you need to take to come into just a little bit more consciousness, and will you do it today?
You can consciously evolve. You can quicken.You can begin to receive information. You can increase your intuition. You can remember. You can listen to your body. You can activate your senses at a whole new level. There's not just five, there's 13. You can gain greater access to your voice. like I'm trying to do right now.
Right now you're in my experience of trying to open my voice to a greater level of clarity so I can be helpful to you all. Maybe it's because of the harrowing experience yesterday. Maybe it's because the pressure's on. Maybe it's because I'm working with a mom whose children were sex trafficked by their father. Maybe it's because I'm mourning the death of my own father from accidental overdose. The whole Epstein files thing, I just have my fingers crossed and my heart open that who needs to get exposed gets exposed because this is important for our country to expose what's happening. And this could be one of the best things that happens, is for there to be actual exposure, which is trying to be prevented right now, so that we could get closer to the powers that are keeping sex trafficking in place. Maybe it's because all those things.
Maybe it's because I just love you so much and I can see the entrapment, like a shell around us that we need to crack out of. And one of the reasons I don't talk about it more is because I don't want you to think that I think I'm more conscious than you.
I don't want to be like, oh, I'm elevated and so let me help you. Maybe I'm just 1% more aware. Deeper aware. Amplified awareness. Because I've been practicing it for 30 years. Maybe it's because I've created all these paintings where I'm remembering. Maybe it's because of that. But I feel afraid to say I'm carrying something and I want you to join me. And I'm bringing it up now because I feel like I'm expressing, that it feels like one of the failures in my life work. which is to only be able to get people to a certain level of consciousness and not actually crack their head through the top of the eggshell. Like Neo in The Matrix, getting out of that tank, what it was like to recognize you were being harvested for your sunlight. Now, I don't need to be that extreme about where our consciousness is. But it is.
The paradigms and the power structures that have been served to us about what this reality is. And if you don't really know that and you're just resisting and fighting that, like you don't really know it, but you're also spending a lot of life force fighting it, but you don't even really know what it is. So sometimes at that edge of consciousness, we go into conspiracy and we think we found it. And sometimes it's over there, but a lot of times it's not because those are also part of the superstructure acting like they're not.
Like when I was at Burning Man, I'm like, sorry, all my Burning Man friends. I was like, oh, no, I'm pretty sure this is not burning “the man”. I'm pretty sure this is the man with people thinking that it's not. but with this amount of structures burning, not just one man, but like actually a temple and two other structures. And then all this plastic stuff from China and all the waste that gets created. When I went, it was the time of Standing Rock and I'm like, we could be using these materials to build housing for people who are cold. We could be joining that resistance.
Some say the devil's greatest accomplishment is to have you think that evil doesn't exist.
If we are not aware that there is a power-over culture of violence and suppression and oppression that's been operating for at least 10,000 years and very powerfully the past 5,000 years, then it's hard to really get a look at what's going on out there. And if you can't really get a look at what's going on out there, it's hard to get a look at what's going on in here. What is the matrix is the outside question.
I'm asking you the inside question. What do you need to do today? What do you want? What do you crave to do today?
A change that will bring you into the next level of awareness that you're carrying. You have to want it. It's why we do psychedelics. It's why a lot of us paint. It's why we go on journeys. It's why we take that workshop. It's why we click on that link. We want to know. Curious minds want to know.
I'm going to say to you… that the answer to the question lies in asking the question. How can I come into a more expanded level of consciousness today? What's my next step? And if you're in my community, you know the answer. Go to your painting, get a small brush, pour out some paint, make some dots and lines and swishes. Use the back of a painting if you must, or the sides and just spend a half an hour listening. Maybe put on some gamma music and just listen and make a conscious intention i am consciously connecting to who I am I want to go to the next safe and sacred level for my awareness. You can believe me or not, but this is available to you today You don't have to earn it, but you do have to show up for it and you do have to practice it in order to maintain it.
They say a mind once opened never regains its original shape. But that isn't my experience. People pop out and then pop back in. So I'm asking you to pop your little ground squirrel head up and look around at a new level. I'm asking you to take your mind off whether you think, that I think I'm more conscious than you because that's a freaking distraction. Maybe I'm not. Maybe I'm just holding a question that's needed.
The poet Rilke says, be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. He goes on to say in his letters to a young poet, eventually one day you might find yourself living into the answers, but you can't answer the questions now because you wouldn't be able to live them. I want to say that right now you can live the question: How can I become just a little bit more conscious and take responsibility for my behavior, my worldview, my life?
What's my right next step today? Will you take it with me? I am. I am. I'm going to take it with you. I'm going to go to the quivering edge of eight with you. If we could just agree to do this as a community, we could get a lot further, a lot faster, and regulate our nervous systems a lot better, and be supported in the framework of intentional community.
This is Curate Shiloh Sophia for the CURA Council, our 500-year vision of a community that sticks together throughout many lifetimes.
I want to invite you There are some very special things happening in our community.
Today we have Sacred Dots with NaaKwarley, the Executive Director of the Intentional Creativity Foundation. It's not too late to join. You can find it all at musea.org. T You can join us for the August 1st Cura Council Ceremony, which is the Matrice Ceremony, dealing with exactly the things I'm talking about today, but in ceremony. You can also join me for exotic creatures in Sonoma, Miami, and virtually, if you want to paint with us, if you want to join with us.
The sun is rising in my heart. Because whether or not you listen to this, it's been spoken into the collective field of my community. Right in this moment, know that I love you. I'm going to be fine. So don't you worry about me. And if I'm not, I'm still going to be fine. Because I am who I am. And that's really enough this lifetime.
That's why I have the joy I have and the hope that I have and the resilience and the life force that I normally have. Because I am who I am. Because I am co-creating my own consciousness every single day. And I'm asking you to do the same. I'm asking you to do the same. Uplevel your consciousness with me. This is my request.
Will you join me? In the spirit of love, in the spirit of emancipating ourselves from mental slavery, I'm inviting you to free your mind. Do it today. What have you got to lose? Drop that ego. Drop that victim. Drop needing to be seen and choose to see yourself.
You can do it. I believe in you. It's your time.
Shiloh Sophia
