Thanks Mark….as you reframed both stories, releasing emotional guilt and grief to free us to become collaborative creators with and within our conscious living Earth, and to choose to transform the false dream of unlimited wealth at other’s expense, I can feel the movement, perhaps even some momentum, in the potentials already being sensed and known, informing our collective awareness and the tapestry of our interwoven interconnectedness, all sharing life here together.
Wow. Fascinating first half, and energizing second. I am grateful for your ability to convey so clearly and powerfully. Understanding I have held deep in me that I have been unable to speak with words, you have spoken. Thank you. You found the root, the point of turning, THIS IS IT.
I first explored the story of economics back in 2020 (https://www.luterra.com/blog/?p=978). I always cringe a little at how "in the mind" my older writings are, but it is also helpful to see continuity within myself over time.
More recently, I see the economy as a purely imbalanced-masculine construct, and it is strange to me that the deeper story has largely remained unquestionable, across the political spectrum and even among activists seeking equality. That feminism has focused almost entirely on giving women equal representation within this system rather than on re-creating the economy with feminine or balanced values of relationship and reciprocity, envisioning ways of coordinating exchange and collectively meeting our needs that are not based on fear, scarcity, extraction, sacrifice, competition.
I really hope this can shift soon, or at least that we can begin to build thriving alternative economies on a smaller scale.
