Blessings, Intuitive Actual — and all who are enjoying this Part One in the preview audio.

[Faint sounds of evening-time birds, chirrups in the distance.]

I am so lucky to have my bare feet in the damp moss… and the setting sunlight right in my eyes. It’s glorious.

I’m ruminating, right this moment, upon the ways that we strive towards the systems and functions we need… and we find that they must then be different than we had originally conceived of them.

Different even than our numerous iterative inventions of them.

Oh, could it be like this?

Oh! Maybe it could be like this — ?

Oh… well… let’s try and make it like this!… No, that’s not working…

Eventually we get to a point where we realize… Oh! We’re going to do that. That’s different. Okay, we’re gonna do that. We’re just gonna do that.

That’s what’s happening.

And that’s what we have to contend with… in terms of the circumstances of collaborative agency the universe brings to us.

[Smudgy sounds of the microphone rustling against fingers.]

So this is Part One.

I forgot my fuzzy microphone filter. [A bubble of edgy amusement, laughter in challenging times.] …Which is only another example of what I’m describing.

I have my fingers wrapped around the head of the microphone in the hopes of preventing the wind from wind shearing.

Trying to do anything in the world can be such an interesting experience! — in Part Two, which is for our beloved supporters who are members of Intuitive Actual.

That can be you, money or no money! There are multiple routes (1, 2, 3) to participate and get access to Part Two.

You will probably find some instructions on the page where you’re listening to this Part One audio, which serves as the preview. [Another flow of laughter at the ongoing adventure of all of this.] It’s called a preview in the software.

I bet I’ve managed to dribble enough information in your direction for you to catch some of it and water your plants with it.

[Sounds of distant traffic, road and sky.]

Drip, drip, drip, drip. More rainstorms are coming, I think.

Let’s see what we have to work on today.

Below this content box, you’ll find the paywall line!

Beyond it is Part Two.

To connect with the fullest-possible range of our private knowledgebase content for the niftiest thriftiest price point — super-extra thrifty before the end of the day on Friday April 17th 2026, if you catch this note in time — we recommend reading the details on this recent post, Intuitive Media Select by Intuitive Actual.

If you’re wanting to listen and read Part Two on this page with instantaneous immediacy, you can also have access to the whole post plus great additional resources in the space of a moment when you upgrade to a paid subscription directly in Substack.

PS. If you happen to end up with a Substack paid subscription and an Intuitive Media Select paid subscription via Payhip at the same time later, never fear — there are special gifts for subscribers who send funds through both.

We’ll also help you settle on just one to match your best preference as needed. (Read more and reach out to Megan Elizabeth to request help here.)

PPS. If you would like to ask for access to this members-only post for free, message Megan Elizabeth on Telegram Messenger.

Note: The learning sequence on this page was originally prepared for publishing last month, then was delayed. Since then, we’ve rolled out a expanded set of options for participating in Intuitive Actual. Check these out and see what suits you best!

The windows are open.

It is warm outside here at Pittsburgh Intuitive Public Radio. Wow, what an experience.

Lemme turn off this big fan out here. We’ll be able to hear each other a little better.

My goodness, it’s temperate. And there is a faint sound of thunder, not too distant. I picked the perfect time…

[A step, then another step, then another step; through grass and crackling leaves.]

…to get my body outside.

I’m about to record an audio share for Intuitive Actual.

And I want to highlight… that there are two ways of participating in a paid membership for Intuitive Actual.

One of them is with money. If you have money, you can pay for that subscription membership by visiting this page for Intuitive Media Select. (For more context, take a look at our introductory post — still some reduced price spots left before Friday!)

There’s another way to pay for a membership with Intuitive Actual…

…and it is with attention.

When you bring your attention and your engagement, we can be in contact in a way that lets us give you that membership — even if you don’t have monetary access.

If that’s you, you want to go find the About page.

You could also contact me directly and introduce yourself. My name is Megan Elizabeth. You can find me at t.me/maxmorris on Telegram Messenger.

I would really love to meet you.

There are such interesting things going on around here!

And so many of them happen behind the scenes — when we’re coordinating media projects in the many numerous different private groups we’re working with on Telegram Messenger, and in different localities all over the world, coordinating locational resourcing that as far as we can tell, in the modern world, is here-to-fore unprecedented.

That sounds like a bold claim.

But we’ve looked and looked and looked and looked and looked… and we haven’t found anything like this.

We had to build it.

We are moving into springtime. The weather can be very strange. Many of us have had ongoing conversations about the strangeness of the weather at different times of the year and in different years, different places. We’ve had a lot of experience with intensive wintertime… snowy, icy driving along the Wisconsin–Pennsylvania corridor… and now suddenly the weather is so warm here in Pittsburgh.

It’s an interesting experience for me: experiencing the springtime beginning in southwestern Pennsylvania and knowing that significant portions of my springtime experiencing are going to be in southwestern Wisconsin.

So this back and forth, whatever it brings, whatever it turns out to be, is really a different animal. Or maybe it’s just two animals. [Laughter.] Or one combined animal, one collective body of animal environment; the body of the planet. Different parts of the body of the planet. And we’re all part of the body of the planet.

Imma go behind the paywall.

I would love for you to join me there, whether you pay with money or attention.

I’m really interested to get to know you.

Oh my gosh, what’s next? Okay, let’s see.

Thank you for spending this time with us in Part 1.

Here, below — and in the audio on this page, once you access and reload it — is Part 2.

What can you do?

Let’s not dwell on what you can’t do.

Let’s focus on what you can do…

…and how what you can do becomes structures of flow, nutrient density, and connectivity with others.

Opportunities to share, opportunities to exchange; to support one another.

Economic engagement, income generation, community participation.

What can you do?

It really matters what you can do.

We do seem to be living in a society that is very focused on, “You’d better be able to do this, and if you can’t, then we’re going to discard you…”

That’s pretty problematic.

But when we create structures together where we acknowledge, value, and celebrate… and lean in to really experience the different things that any of us can do… that tells us a lot about what living beings are.

It tells us a lot about who we are.

We want to build our social structures. We want to tend our social fabric. We want to strengthen relationships in our immediate living ecosystems, and in the world ecosystem…

…on the basis of who we really are.

Not according to some template that somebody forced on us saying, “You’d better be able to do this, or else…”

…That’s not being alive. That’s being used. That’s being exploited.

We want to know who we really are.

We want to build relationships with one another on the basis of who each of us really is. That’s where fulfilling relational resonance exists.

That’s what we want. That’s what fuels us.

That’s what makes us feel capacious.

That’s what excites us about finding out… What does the next day hold? What are the neat things we could achieve together? That’s amazing.

What can we do?

What can you do?

What do you love to do?

What makes you feel really vital, wakeful, skillful, when you focus on doing those things? What is that for you?

You are invited into this continuing conversation.

Join Intuitive Actual so that you can access the rest of this recording.

If you need any help finding the pieces, reach out to me — Megan Elizabeth — on Telegram Messenger. Thank you so much for listening to these audio broadcasts.

There’s an about page at the top of the Substack; check that out. If monetary access is an issue, you can still join us in Intuitive Actual.

To those who are funding this work through paid subscriptions and through other ways of supporting us financially, thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

You are making this possible in a really amazing way.

And to all who are supporting us in ways that are not financial — thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

We need you.

We appreciate you.

Wow, we’re doing this thing.

Let’s talk about what we can do.

That’s what’s next.

Here is a curious threshold colloquially known as a paywall.

This paywall divides part one (which you just read and/or listened to in the preview audio) from part two (which becomes accessible on this same page, in the same audio player, with a full and fully-formatted transcript when you join Intuitive Actual).

One passkey might be a funded subscription; another passkey might be attention and interest in social fabric. Please engage both simultaneously as might be viable for you.

If you find yourself needing to choose just one, choose just one. That’s delightful!

Okay.

The threshold beckons.

On to part two.

How do you free your voice in the world?

How do you show up in the ways that are most presently needed?

How do you share what’s best and most self-strengthening for you to share? How do you do your work in the world?

How do you cultivate courage for how you speak… and sing… and make art and music… and express yourself?

How do you do that?

Let’s do it together.

 Good morning, friends and neighbors 💖!

There are some very interesting developments a-foot. That is the usual around here in this Intuitive Community Media Network...

Let’s see if I can take a look at some of these notes and share the most exciting bits with you.

We’re going to keep this audio accessible to members of Intuitive Actual. I hope you will join us if you’re not yet part of that contingent!

We are doing some really amazing work. I’m continuously extremely grateful that such things can even be possible… because we’re in the continuous amazing pattern of doing the impossible.

What a wild time.

Would you like to pay for your subscription to Intuitive Actual with your attention rather than with monetary currency?

Reach out to Megan Elizabeth at t.me/maxmorris on Telegram Messenger and introduce yourself.

You can even copy and paste: “I’m really interested to be involved with Intuitive Actual and access a paid subscription by paying attention!” Something like that will work great. :-)

Ahem.

“I’m broadcasting this afternoon from what’s been called The Pittsburgh Permaculture Project — part of Intuitive Garden and the Intuitive Food Forest Network.

We’ve been working here, it must be more like six years now. There are such beautiful things that have happened in this space.

There are projectlets (heehee, projectlets) that we’ve completed; and there are projectlets that we have not completed, that may still perhaps be completed!

It’s always a continuing question. What’s going to be the best thing for the now?

What’s going to be the place for us to put our focus, so that all the living beings in our ecosystem can experience best benefit in continuing collaborative relationship in that ecosystem?

The first questions we always ask ourselves as part of projects and platforms in the Intuitive Community Media Network... include questions about the words we use.

The word ‘permaculture’ is a tricky one because it means so many really important things, it means so many nourishing and regenerative things, to so many people. It’s not to be discarded lightly.

And... we know that there are things going on in our communities that we need to highlight and learn about, and that we need to listen for.

A lot of that has to do with what words we use...

...how those words are used...

...how those words came into use...

...and what are the meanings of those words for all of the living beings in the ecosystem?

Not just the ones who are most visible or who have most access or can be heard most easily, but also the ones that we really have to listen closely for.

And the ones that we need to co-facilitate in having more access and more voice.

I want to say voicefulness — to go with how often we use the word choicefulness.

…So that we can be embodied in experiencing the fullness and the wholeness of the collective body of that collective ecosystem.

When we listen very closely, we can start to learn a lot about those who went before us.

We can talk about this in terms of our ancestors, which sometimes is framed in a very limited way and can sometimes be misleading.

We want to honor those who went before, who are part of our family and community lineages, yes, but also crucially part of the lineages of the land that we are tending and growing with in relationship.

The word permaculture is a more recent kind of word that often seems to say that something is new when actually it isn’t new.

There are lineages of the land and peoples who have lived most closely to the land... that know things that go beyond what we know of as ‘permaculture’... but often are credited and attributed to permaculture. Permaculture recent history, permaculture mindsets.

There’s something else there that we really must listen for in order to be in wholeness.

And when we have this particular designation, the Pittsburgh Permaculture Project, what is it that name means to us?

Do we want to continue using that name?

Maybe. Maybe not.

What are going to be the best steps for all the living beings in the ecosystem to be present in wholeness… to be recognized, honored, and cared for?

We have many conversations just like this one all across the Intuitive Community Media Network, where words and language and etymology... communications in relational integrity... are the first most important thing that we always are doing.

And even when we’re not totally sure how we feel about particular words we’re using, we can make frontmost the conversations about what words mean to different people.

What is conveyed by different words being used in different ways at different times?

...In different contexts?

We learn so much about what language is.

Language itself, verbal and nonverbal, is inherent to the vital life force energy that is in us and between us as living beings.

That is in the land and with all the creatures of the land, including humans.

Too often we are separated from one another in truly unfortunate ways. That’s the basis of violence that is experienced by so many.

If we can bridge with language and with our choicefulnesses...

...and use our voicefulnesses in the very best of ways...

...we have solutions we never previously could imagine.

We can ease one another’s way.

That’s why we’re growing gardens together.

And it is the main subject of my and our tremendous gratitude for these abundant blessings.”

In December 2023, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to record a broadcast with Rob Wipond — friend of the Intuitive Network, freelance investigative journalist of more than two decades, and author of one of our very favorite books: “Your Consent Is Not Required.”

Last we checked, Rob’s articles have been nominated for 17 magazine and journalism awards — and he’s an amazing human being.

Here’s our December 2023 Intuitive Public TV broadcast — in Substack audio at the top of that page, and if you scroll down just a bit below that, you’ll see the YouTube embed of the whole video recording.

We were considerably delayed after that by network challenges in late December 2023… through 2024… and much of 2025. But after great striving, we were finally able to set up another broadcast with Rob for the 11th of September 2025, three Thursdays ago, to check in on the past couple of years.

Rijon Erickson co-hosted with me and ran the broadcast infrastructure from the Purple Squirrel Café — making this broadcast possible in a way it never could have been without him.

Here’s that replay of our group conversation with Rob Wipond from the 11th, in our previous post.

And then…

…Our second broadcast session this month with Rob was broadcast live yesterday, 25 September 2025. We continued to discuss our (near-endless?) list of community-highlighted points. (No need to watch the broadcasts in order. Each one stands on its own and conveys crucial, community-revitalizing nutrients. Jump in where you’re at.)

Yesterday’s replay is embedded in this post, above, at the top of this page. You can also find it here on YouTube!

Please take a moment to have a closer look at Rob Wipond’s 2023 book, “Your Consent Is Not Required: The Rise in Psychiatric Detentions, Forced Treatment, and Abuse of Guardianships.”

This book contains a beautifully organized presentation from Rob’s research, and has been crucial to survival and recovery of colleagues at the intersections we’re resourcing in the Intuitive Community Media Network.

Rob’s writing foregrounds the voices of people whose experiences are usually dismissed and mischaracterized. An abundance of clear evidence challenges the dominant narrative surrounding involuntary psychiatric interventions.

What nourishes and strengthens the whole community body?

Rob helps us to answer this question especially powerfully. We want and need to see his platforms well-supported. Be sure to browse more of his links further down this page — it’s exceptional work.

Here’s our tag page for Rob Wipond’s work. We’ll keep adding to it.

Thank you Rob!

“…Timely… eye-opening… exhaustive… powerful… Wipond’s powers as an investigative journalist frequently collide with, but sometimes also overcome, the determined stonewalling of health authorities… Wipond’s comprehensive study unearths health and social services replete with poor-to-dreadful outcomes, lax oversight, and protocols seemingly rigged against those most in need.” — Christopher Lane, Psychology Today • Your Consent Is Not Required published January 2023 • RobWipond.com

Rob will be with us again tomorrow (!!) to broadcast a second Simultistream session to Intuitive Public TV from the Purple Squirrel Café.

That’s tomorrow, Thursday, 25 September 2025 in the same timeslot — 3-5pm Eastern — because wow do we have a lot more we haven’t yet discussed.

We’d love for you to join us in the comments live tomorrow afternoon at 3pm ET!

Rob Wipond is a freelance investigative journalist of more than two decades, who writes about mental health, psychiatry, civil rights, policing, surveillance and privacy, and social change. His articles have been nominated for 17 magazine and journalism awards.

Rob’s work brings to light the broader societal implications of mental health laws, forced treatment, and involuntary detention.

His book was published in January 2023, entitled “Your Consent Is Not Required: The Rise in Psychiatric Detentions, Forced Treatment, and Abuse of Guardianships.”

In his research and writing, Rob explores the expansive reach of laws and practices well beyond the stereotypical media portrayal of mental health issues within hardship-afflicted and homeless populations.

His work aims to foreground the voices of those whose experiences are often dismissed, and to provide an evidence-based challenge to the dominant narrative surrounding involuntary psychiatric treatments.

Rob’s work beautifully advocates for a systemic shift that centers the real needs of communities and individuals.

Here’s a link to the first broadcast we pre-recorded with Rob in December 2023 — and here’s our tag page for his work, as we continue to add more of our links, references, and conversations highlighting him.

Thank you so, so much to Rob Wipond to spending this time with us.

“Your position in your web of relationships has foundational effects on your life energy, your ability to repair your body after injury, your function, your resilience, your capacity.

These are not traits that are solely about your individual human body.

They are about you, yes, and they are about the living ecology that you are part of inherently — even though so many of us have been taught that we are totally separate.”

Thanks for being here with us, bright shining beings. ✨

There is a timer running. No time like the present to build necessary skills.

I want to check in from our worldwide network groups on a particular subject and that is time banking.

There are two major items of conversation in regards to time banking for the methodology we’ve been developing in the Intuitive Network.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Tony Budak of Time Bank Mahoning Watershed, which is not far from where I am currently located.

That conversation has caused many more additional conversations to emerge — specifically about time banking.

One of the reasons we haven't talked so much about it over this past decade or so is because we needed these two specific items to be addressed — and we weren't sure how to talk about them yet.

So I'm going to broach them right now in this 5-minute broadcast. I’m watching the timer, which is right up here. I'm going to keep this broadcast under five minutes and we're going to find out how I do with it.

Thank you for rooting for me.

These are two items that we have to keep very present in our consideration when we're talking about time banking and the great value of time banking.

In time banking, a community comes together and logs the things we do for one another… the things we give to one another.

How are we helping one another?

How are we dedicating our time and energy to making the world around us better?

…To making one another's lives better? …to building more beautifying collaborative relationships with one another? …to implementing solutions that allow us to have a much happier, healthier experience in the world, living and working with one another?

Time banking involves this kind of logging.

Here's what we're doing.

Here's what we're offering.

And the two items that we have to be really aware of in the Intuitive Network are…

* …How do we get that data into the system?

Because there are many, many people who are not able to enter that data themselves. We need a bridge of functions that helps that data be input for all of these people who are doing amazing work for their communities that is not seen, that is invisible to everybody who's not directly participating.

We need some way of showing what's happening there.

And the second item is…

* …We need to be prioritizing building relationships with one another so that we know what it means when someone has offered something.

When someone spent an hour of their time doing a particular thing that might have been very difficult for them — do we know enough about the life of that person to understand the gift that they brought to the community?

When they choose to offer that resource to the community… do we know what that means to them?

So:

How do we get the data into the system when when that's a very difficult thing for many people to do?

…and…

…How do we really gather ourselves to know one another, to learn from one another, to know one another's stories so that we know what those gifts truly are?

This is how we honor what we give to one another.

I really appreciate you tuning in with me for this five minute broadcast.

I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day.

It will work or it won't; if that doesn't, something else will.

Indubitably.

(And thensome.)

Learn, grow, thrive. Potentize your strive. Feel most profoundly alive.

— tonight’s 11 minutes and 20 seconds of Intuitive Horror Lab broadcast audio by Megan Elizabeth

Brie-Anna Willey is building a great immersion art and business community resource space in Business For Nerds (her Nerdiverse!) on Discord.

And since she opened up a channel specifically to energize our Intuitive Network groups’ collaborative Intuitive Social Horror project — the Intuitive Horror Lab — I've gotten to weave some especially excellent neurological repair work into my human material brain function.

Metafictions are magic.

I've wanted to make this broadcast for a long time. And I finally got to do it.

Profound gratitude to our Intuitive Network groups coordinating Intuitive Social Horror, Intuitive Story, Deep The Shadowbag, Ideaschema Intuitive, the Intuitive Public Radio, and many other interlocking Intuitive platforms that make this collaborative progress possible.

And thank you Brie-Anna and Business For Nerds for the awesome cross-platform infrastructure activations!

Thanks for reading Mack's Memo • Intuitive Public Radio here on Substack! This post is public. We're so pleased if you'll share it.

…that your life, exactly how it is, is the greatest form of art that can exist.

When you share it in all its brilliance, and you bring yourself daringly and confidently to the sharing of that art, there is a life energy that cannot otherwise occur.

When you commit yourself to who you are and what you’re made of, you have an edge. You have an advantage over every challenge, every obstacle that you could possibly encounter.

I'm very interested to find out what happens next — as I continue to show up with my very best moment-to-moment effervescence.

I hope you will come join us in Intuitive community.

The solution is amazing. It works wondrous miracles — over and over — when you finally learn how to practice it.

Want to know what it is?

"It's an opportunity of... proportions. And it's full of nourishment.

Each time it happens, you know you're already getting stronger, just encountering it.

The strength-building you're engaging in is deepening your foundation of awareness of who you are and what you can do.

When you think back to how things were before, the comparison is startling."

"The challenge IS the blessing.

The challenge is the gift and reward that you know how to unfold from the challenge — from the beginning of being challenged by it.

Because you've chosen to face something that hard, now, so many times.

Your body knows what you can do with that.

It's no longer a problem."

* noun The female, ovule-bearing organ of a flower, including the stigma, style, and ovary.

* noun In botany, the female or seed-bearing organ of a flower.

* noun (Bot.) The seed-bearing organ of a flower. It consists of an ovary, containing the ovules or rudimentary seeds, and a stigma, which is commonly raised on an elongated portion called a style. When composed of one carpel a pistil is simple; when composed of several, it is compound.

That part’s from the Internet.

What the flower’s telling me — that’s another level of conversation entirely.

There are these really beautiful little white flowers. I think I looked them up some time ago. I think they were something like mock orange or something like that.

There have never been any oranges, but they're beautiful little white flowers with five petals and yellow, um… what do we call them?

I used to know the name of them.

I don't remember right now.

It starts with a P.

These little, these little, like, fronds out of the middle. They're so pretty.

They're yellow, like the sunshine.

There are mysteries a-foot. (This one’s 250605-095607.)

"...Full of really profound nutrients, really exciting conversations.

The ways that our group members, collaborators, supporters and community investors have shown up with such kindness and patience — it's really, really groovy.

I do not know any kind of substitute for it.

I have never even heard of this. I've never heard of this ever happening.

I've never heard of someone doing what we're doing and receiving the responses that we've been receiving. I've never heard of that.

We started this from scratch.

And I don't stay there, but I do intermittently think back to where we were when we started — and that's full of really horrifying details."

"I myself personally have a lot of progress to make in order for me to be physically safe — in order for me to be resourced in a way that stabilizes the compounded emergency circumstances at the intersections that I'm working at.

My colleagues have varying versions of that going on, in this location and in all the other locations that we have around the United States, around the continent, and around the world.

The Intuitive Network is interconnecting all of that intention, visioning, and dedicated day-to-day work with and for one another — transmuting situations that a lot of people think are hopeless.

We are transforming those situations.

The evidence of that, I don't know what words to use for it.

It's wow."

"I am releasing compacted energy from challenging circumstances we've been navigating.

I am relaxing into the amazingness of the blessings that have been received.

We are still moving through the things that we are moving through...

...but the miracles that have occurred because of resources that have been shared, funds that have been donated, projects we have been hired on for...

...every little bit makes a really big difference.

To our founding members of Intuitive Actual and all our members of Intuitive Actual — HUGE gratitude for the flow of support.

And for the amazing dialogues that have been occurring, the subject intersections that we've been exploring."

Be part of this amazing adventure by exploring here and here. ✨

Thank you for being with us. ✨💜✨

Today is Memorial Day — a day with a lot of layers of meaning for me and others in the Intuitive Community Media Network.

We’ve been bringing together stories and experiences, learning materials, and excellent family and community resources — so powerful, the more we get to share them.

My Grandpa Cyril has been with us. He passed in 2002, and still is profoundly present here. He’s been so influential for Intuitive Edge and so many of our other projects.

Grandpa Cyril could build or fix anything.

He was a red-headed giant who read every kind of book and manual — practical, mechanical, spiritual, and all manner of other subjects.

He didn’t stay within the confines of one realm or ideology; he learned about them all.

He had a home workshop that was a wild dream to me when I was little. It had every kind of tool and many machines. He could make anything and repair anything with that workshop — and his intrinsic systems clarity.

When he was young, he finished high school in two-and-a-half years. At that time he was awarded scholarships to study to be a physicist; but remaining financial difficulties rerouted him.

He was drafted into the army in 1940 when World War II began.

He was eager to go overseas, but in consideration of his proficiencies he was stationed in the U.S. as a Top Sergeant to train troops in demolitions.

After World War II ended in 1945, he became a machinist by trade with precise training in metallurgy in 1947.

He was at Youngstown Sheet & Tube, in steel manufacturing, for three decades — including many years as the foreman of their 6 million dollar machine shop while his daughter (my mother) was in high school in the 1950s.

Youngstown Sheet & Tube asked him to set up their engineering department. He ran that department simultaneously while running the machine shop for about six years. Later, he was promoted to assistant superintendent.

The Lykes Corporation, a shipping company based in New Orleans, purchased the Youngstown steel mill in 1969 and completed the merger in 1976.

At the time of the acquisition, Youngstown Sheet & Tube was a profitable company — and the only steel company in the country making money. But because of the merger, the company was forced into bankruptcy.

Cyril and 5,000 other employees lost their pensions when the mill was closed.

Grandpa Cyril was full of care. I remember him as a wondrous life force — a vivid energy — extensive knowledge and subtle insight.

He was a deeply sensitive person. And he was hard and strong, too.

He taught me how to put on my shoes and how to make fried eggs in a skillet; what it meant to be without food, and always preserving and respecting what we have; the importance of storing good resources…

…well-kept toolsets; collaborative intelligence; resilient systems…

…the power of listening and watching, absorbing all the details; the power of keeping notes, knowing, and remembering; the power of shared memory.

He taught me the beauty and utility of engineering and architecture; the advantage in steady, stabilizing infrastructure; the durability of a sturdy supply base.

Solutions that work and skills that make strength.

Grandpa Cyril and Grandma Elizabeth taught me about gathering people into a place and honoring family and community. Nourishing the roots we’re regenerating from.

Tending our vital relationships — what’s real.

Sharing meals, smiles, stories and music.

Growing together.

Grandpa Cyril is a keen ancestor of Intuitive Edge. He’s continued saving lives long since he stopped being in a physical human body many years ago.

His wartime experiences have imparted so much to us; and the way he and his family carried one another through wartime, intense challenges, and resource scarcity.

It is many kinds of wars; the ones people think of as wars; and also the ones that many people don't recognize as wars.

Grandpa Cyril was and is in service to his country, to his communities, to his family, regenerating the life energy in the collective living body…

…As our warriors of many kinds are here now — many of them still here physically with us on the planet — and not so visible, not so recognized.

Countless laboring continuously, striving unacknowledged. All in service.

These warriors whose stories are so important and nutritive; who teach us so much about the world we’re in, ourselves, and one another.

This for us is Real Memory.

Deep thank-yous to Grandpa Cyril for what he taught me.

We’re wishing all a meaningful and resonant Memorial Day, and days unfolding.The memories and honoring — we hold in our hearts for our colleagues who have risen in warriorship and are now rising in warriorship.

A lot of gratitude, a lot of love.

More very soon.

"...When you can't feel your way through it, moving in the dark...

It's the smallest combinations of blessings that completely transmute that massive challenge.

You would have thought that in order to implement a real solution, you would have had to have a lot of complicated little — like this and that and the other thing would have to be put in place —

— and how can we possibly do that?

It's so complex.

It's so big.

It's such a big monster, there are so many terrible consequences... and yet...

The things that do resolve it...

The things that do change the landscape of it...

...are often remarkably small and simple."

"Here are a few words... here are a few prayers... here is some encouragement... here is a little bit of money, here is another little bit of money.

The money gets put together.

The energy gets put together.

Here is someone who says — Hey, you know, I know how to do this. Is it possible that I could help by doing this?

A person comes and does care notation: A person sits and listens and cares and writes some things down for us.

It's so little. It's such a little thing.

It's a huge thing! It's a huge thing.

And for me to be here still this morning with hot running water... thank Earth, thank Heaven.

Thank our community network and those who have come together to help that happen.

The crucial medical foods that are now in our freezer — and many other blessings that are recurring."

"What has ultimately got these solutions in place is a combination of much smaller acts of kindness and faith and caring than people generally are taught to expect.

It is a very little, little bit...

...that makes really big shifts.

And it is such a pleasure for me to get to experience that and be a part of it.

And dialogue and celebrate with you about it."

Be part of this amazing adventure by exploring here and here. ✨

...in the very worst of situations..."

There is only the experience each of us is having in the moment in which we're having it.

And that's where I'm being."

Aforementioned service interruptions (consequential complications ongoing; met with whole hearts, courage and cosmic fire).

Reinvoked miracle vibrations from Grandma Elizabeth, so amazing. Love and gratitude continuously regenerating.

Blessings this noospheric exultation! (N-E)

Which bit doesn't quite seem to make the sense you'd have expected?

“The urge to form partnerships to link up in collaborative arrangements is perhaps the oldest, strongest, and most fundamental force in nature.

There are no solitary free living creatures.

Every form of life is dependent on other forms.”

— Lewis Thomas

We’re just sitting with that for a few more moments. :-)

There’s a feeling state that goes with it… the greater collective body of which each one of us is also part.

The more you sense for it, the more you come to recognize it.

Megan Elizabeth read this quote aloud into the included short audio clip in order to share it as part of a multi-group process in our private Intuitive Network spaces on Telegram Messenger.

We’ve been discussing in-depth how we can best support fruitful collaboration… in circumstances where the people around us may be at significant odds with one another.

Adam Kahane included this quote from Lewis Thomas at the beginning of Adam’s great book, Collaborating With The Enemy: How to Work with People You Don’t Agree With Or Like Or Trust. The foreword to the book was written by Peter Block.

The conversations surrounding Lewis Thomas’s resonant words and our most pressing related intersections have been nutrient-packed, generative, and worth (more than) their weight in gold.

Stumbling across Lewis Thomas in Adam Kahane’s book has been a great highlight to our broader process.

If you resonate with this small report (rapport) from the front lines of Intuitive group co-facilitation, you can explore more of the subjects we’ve been discussing in the private network, benefit directly from what we’re studying and developing, and support the continuation of this work at the same time.

A few more notes for members of Intuitive Actual follow below. 🕊✨

We simultistream’d this segment on 24 March 2025. 💖

It is a wonderful gift for me each time I get to spend time talking with Ben. Ben Roberts originally invited me to the Co-Creating A World That Works For All 2024 Global Summit — the 2-phase community event that made such a powerful impression on me and on our Intuitive Network groups last year.

The Global Summit created extraordinary opportunities for inclusion and community engagement, especially for Intuitive group members.

Ben played a central role in designing the digital infrastructure and conversation architecture that supported the summit’s multi-platform, participatory access.

The weaving of technology and dialogue that Ben brought into the 2024 Global Summit, we don’t tire of mentioning, helped facilitate a transformational experience for our community groups.

Multiple modalities, multiple platforms, and layers of access — not common to most digital gatherings! — allowed myself and a number of Intuitive Network colleagues to participate meaningfully in ways we have often been unable to achieve elsewhere.

In this broadcast, we dove into Ben’s work and reflected together on what we’ve been learning. It was an excellent conversation!

Here are some of our segment notes…

* Economics as living physiology — the forest, the water cycle, the mycelium; relationships, ecosystems, and many forms of value.

* The beauty of multi-capital exchange — seeing economy not just as monetary currency but as shared nutrient flow, relational trust, and ecology.

* Collaborative methodology, experimental infrastructure, emergent strategies.

* Co-Creating A World That Works For All at Berrett-Koehler’s 2024 Global Summit. (You can still view the summit map here!)

* Access and engagement across diverse platforms and user needs, particularly for communities navigating communications barriers, resource scarcity, and structural exclusion.

* Ben’s explorations into conversation weaving and cross-pollination in distributed systems.

* Open Space Technology and World Café as foundational social processes.

* CoFundEco, Ben’s beautiful collaborative funding ecosystem project, which emerged from a group process to produce the Blueprint 8 • Funding Governance for Systemic Transformation document in 2022 in order to explore and define “regenerative funding governance” — an alternative to conventional, extractive models of allocating financial and non-monetary resources.

* Peter Block’s “Six Conversations” framework as a tool for building relationship-based infrastructure.

* Design philosophy that welcomes complexity and multiplicity — building ecosystems that meet people where they are without flattening or limiting the experience; and strategies that accommodate varied levels of involvement, presence, and language, so that dialogue can occur in many layers of interaction.

* Mapping and visualization for resourcing relationships and shared priorities.

* Transmuting hardship through dialogue, presence, and shared stewardship.

Oooh… and one other thing. A little bit more fun this morning…

Interested to participate or ask questions? Reach out to Megan Elizabeth.

First, a summary:

We’re coordinating a $2,500 "bridge strut" — a key subset of Intuitive Network architecture — to be achieved by Wednesday, 26 March 2025.

Achieving this goal allows us to strategically reinforce our professional recovery and network-building initiatives, which provide economic leverage to otherwise-unserved communities at intersections of severe hardship, invisibility, and economic exclusion.

Positive outcomes include restoring access to essential medical interventions that directly impact physiological function and coordination (including mine), stabilizing frontline collaborators who’ve extended critical support, and advancing income-generating projects led by severely disabled professionals doing unparalleled and courageous work.

We're requesting collaborative investments and paying projects to ensure the Intuitive Network's high-leverage, survivor-led systems operation — demonstrating proven results under the most complex conditions — can continue to build its uniquely powerful solutions.

Want to review some videos, but need to focus your time?

Watch broadcast segments 4, 5, 6, and 7 in the numbered Table of Contents list below. All four of these videos can be watched in less than an hour.

How to participate and support this initiative right now:

* Reach out to Megan Elizabeth to discover ways we can work together to increase collaborative leverage and get new paid projects in place.

* Help us share these posts and spread the word. Join the comments in our posts on Substack and in Simultistream broadcasts, and coordinate new media with us on Telegram Messenger.

* Upgrade your subscription to join Intuitive Actual for (currently) $7/month or $70/year. (Those two prices will be going up in the near future for those who subscribe after the price increase; whereas people who subscribe at that amount will lock in that price going forward regardless of price increases.)

* Members of Intuitive Actual get access to additional content, collaborative opportunities, and significant price discounts on various offerings.

* We are also inviting in new collaborative founding members of Intuitive Actual for $414/year — a great way to join our Intuitive Fund Builders.

* I spend particular quality time ensuring network resources and direct support for collaborative founding members who are Intuitive Fund Builders.

* Ask me how I and the Intuitive Network can support you — and how you can help us close in on this $2,500 goal before Wednesday, 26 March 2025.

* I’ll bring my best strengths to help you, too, in what you most want to achieve.

Especial gratitude, and abundant blessings.

How do compounded intersections get so compounded?

There are lots of ways that this can happen, but I'll tell you more today about what I've experienced; and you'll get more of a sense of how challenges can become more daunting than expected.

Many of our readers know… though some won't have realized till now… that I was sex trafficked in 2015-2016 after being severely disabled by traumatic brain injury (TBI) and complex toxic exposures where I was living at the time.

I'd had no idea that kind of violence was going on in my community environments until I found myself right in the midst of it.

For that matter, I'd had no idea how widespread undiagnosed concussion injuries are — or that, especially in combination with a head injury, every-day sources of environmental toxicity could render a person so physically debilitated, unable to communicate, and consequently vulnerable to predation.

I found myself part of a massive and invisible population of people in hardship unable to access relational dialogue, economic recovery resourcing, social recognition, or survival assistance.

This was my personal crash course introduction to the most severe intersections of disablement, resource scarcity, and hidden violence; not only as regards human trafficking, but also a wide diversity of extremely difficult and little-known challenges faced by our most vulnerable community members.

Over the course of the ensuing decade, I discovered uniquely brilliant proficiencies wielded by the most ignored and abandoned living beings.

Truly unmatched humans… navigating unconscionable circumstances… transform the impossible daily.

Their front-line economic prowess and innovative wisdoms — unheard-of or mischaracterized everywhere else — amaze and astonish me.

I discovered, too, that the work I'd been doing before my trafficking experiences was more powerful and crucial than I had previously understood… when it proceeded to save my life over and over again.

From that vantage, I set about deepening my understanding of what best prevents these forms of violence; and developing necessary approaches to expand physical safety and resource access.

Since then, I've committed every capacity to creating solutions for the most severely affected disabled and invisible people — which importantly includes creating solutions for those at intersections of physical strength, intersectional privilege, and resource wealth whose unmet needs and missing knowledgebase access are all that prevent them from bridging regeneratively with hardship-affected communities.

What I've learned on this journey has facilitated my own radical physical and situational healing, far and away beyond commonly-held beliefs about how human recovery works — forcing us to confront our misconceptions about what's possible.

I've encountered a small, priceless number of colleagues who are committed to meeting challenges of this caliber… but I have not otherwise found anyone doing this work or achieving anything like the startling successes we've had in recent years.

I am on the lookout for more people who recognize this, because now — at least! — I know I'm not the only one.

Meanwhile, our adventures continue.

Are you looking for me too?

Here are my notes; not the same as my broadcast audio and video, but a reference.

Note: Audio begins at 13 seconds into the broadcast.

If you need text for these videos, find the “transcript” button just a bit above and to the right. Please forgive glitchy bits — in the automatic transcripts, in the people around you, in life at large, in my notes, and in my functions. 🥰

If you’re seeking clarification or want to participate right away, reach out to me.

I am so seriously… so profoundly… exhilarated… that even in the midst of this debility and chaos, I still have certain powerful functions available to me.

My 1:1 skills and group facilitation skills are primo. In presenced and attuned relationship with others, I bring my best potency and it's a big energy.

I had a couple of long sessions, a few days ago, that were beyond amazing.

Because of the concerted practice I've put to it, simultistream broadcasts to our public platforms are a strong, relationally-centered skill set and work well even in these circumstances, especially when others join the broadcast with me on or off screen.

Conversely, under these physiological circumstances, working with text is almost impossible. I’m not really able to see what I wrote in order to make sure I’ve said it right; to make sure it’s clear enough for others to understand.

It’s utterly ridiculous that I'm still somehow writing these.

(The low-text audio publishing has been helping a lot, I'm noticing.)

My brain isn't able to visually process the larger and denser amounts of text except in tiny fleeting glimpses, wherein I jab my fingertips at the screen or keyboard to try and correct a typo before my complex-text neurology fluxes out again.

Even when I achieve some limited part of what I aim for, it exhausts the body just to try. If I complete one thing successfully, it tends to crash me before I manage to attempt the next thing.

But whereas my ability to do many simple tasks is compromised or non-existent at the moment — focusing on my best strengths creates gorgeous flows of vitality and life energy.

Not only am I focusing on my best strengths, in such a case — I am actively being strengthened.

It is of course one of our favorite practices in the Intuitive Network to focus on what creates these gorgeous flows of vitality and life energy — because those are the skills that we can leverage most powerfully toward achieving the goals we most need to see realized.

There is not a substitute for it.

When you face your most daunting challenges, you will need to remember this.

What is it you do most easily and best?

What skill do you find most inherently self-strengthening to practice?

I profoundly recommend that you do a whole lot of that.

Hey, hey. This one had notes!

Here’s the notes:

You'll laugh or you won't — it's okay, I won't be mad; it's pretty wacky — but restoring my access to non-negotiable cranial realignment appointments with my doctor is not (lol, by far) the only challenge occurring.

A very-closest family member and housemate has been navigating intensive rehab in the early post-ICU days of beginning to recover from what is called a “maximally invasive" spinal surgery, a complex and major event in all our lives.

A very sensitive set of situations involving other family members’ and key collaborators’ severe and disabling circumstances have also significantly intensified in recent weeks, requiring us to power our very best skills and insights in response.

And as if that wasn't enough (dear friend, do remember, the universe is always rooting for us)...

…a toxic black mold infestation in the house has stopped repairs that would make the bathrooms accessible to severely disabled family members again — yes, did you read that right? Access to the bathrooms is limited or unavailable (depending on the sensitivities and physical capacities of the severely disabled person affected) until the situation is resolved.

Just go ahead and imagine that for a minute :-)

(If you're not sure how to imagine it, I almost want to suggest you try not to use any bathroom while severely disabled for a few days and learn a bit more what that's like. But if you did, you would find out how seriously dangerous it is. So I won't suggest it.)

To reinstitute those (!) necessary bathroom repairs and restore accessibility to the basic functions of bathroom safety, there is a larger bridge strut for us to ultimately coordinate.

But before we can do that, some smaller foundational pieces must be wisely and carefully moved into place.

What?? This is insane!

How?!!

Stay with it, friend. You've got this. You know the answer deep in your gut.

How do we… wisely and carefully… move those first most necessary pieces into place?

By focusing on our very greatest strengths.

This positions us to achieve the impossible.

In the next post in this sequence, I'll tell you about my very greatest strengths.

In the interim, I hope you're starting to think about yours.

“Waaaaaugh 6th segment!” I typed into Streamyard, and by some miracle sent the simultistream off to YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn — this too on the 19th of March 2025, gambling with my actual life in ways that typically only those who have directly experienced such compounded conditions are prepared to recognize.

Here are some other things I want to say.

It’s been quite rare to find professionals teaching models that are even remotely adaptable to the intersections we’re working at.

Scott Perry’s work in this regard is exceptional.

While we have many approaches to adapting models, and we do a significant amount of work to adapt Scott’s models to the needs of the Intuitive Network… Scott’s models are way more directly applicable than most of what we’ve found.

I want you to have some personal perspective on this — from your own standpoint.

What I’m saying here doesn’t just mean that his work is possible to apply to adverse intersections. That’s great, yes… and you yourself may not be experiencing particularly adverse intersections.

What I’m saying here means that Scott Perry’s approach to purpose-driven prosperity is more likely than most other income-generating models to protect you from ending up at adverse intersections.

Yes, that’s what I said.

This is worth your whole attention.

It’s also an especially important aspect of doing business and making an income.

Are you practicing professionally in ways that uplift and revitalize not only your own livelihood, your family, and your most important projects… but also your community, your broader environment, and a thriving future for you all to vision together?

Scott’s marketing models go a long way toward supporting this necessary vibration.

Get a subscription to Scott Perry’s Substack — and consider upgrading to the Solopreneur Success Circle paid subscription while you’re at it.

It’s an exceedingly wise investment.

Watch the 19 minute broadcast replay at the top of this post for more of my feelings on that.

I aim to unpack all this greatly further as time moves forward.

First, we’re going to score this bridge strut.

Whew! Okay, bridge strut collaborators!

Here's what this $2,500-before-26-March-2025 achieves for us.

1

First… this bridge strut, successfully placed, restores my access to a vehicle by which I can return to my (utterly essential) cranial realignment appointments with my doctor, and also helps me resume supplements I'm critically behind on — to help clear my glymphatic system, the brain’s crucial detoxification system, so that I can think and work more effectively with text again.

These appointments are non-negotiable, and dangerous for me to miss — but the lack of a safe vehicle has prevented me going to them now for a very painful way-too-long.

Me getting back to these appointments on a regular basis is crucial for my recovery from long-term multiple concussion injuries of the past decade, and crucial for me to allow me to do my work coordinating solutions in the Intuitive Network.

2

Second… this bridge strut supports us in continuing research to apply for grant funding assistance that will help us establish professional incomes for myself and other severely disabled core organizers.

Income is essential — I'm sure you know it well! — and when operating at intersections of compounded economic exclusion that are usually invisiblized or erased, establishing professional income flows means opening up regenerative gardens of amazing solutions as a result.

3

This bridge strut also facilitates a key goal of our grant funding initiatives — helping us begin to fund the next block of writing, editing, and media communications assistance needed in the network to establish income flow.

The professional income so profoundly warranted to support our groups changes the whole game — for all of us who even without safety or pay have been creating resources for community crisis care, emergency rescue aid, and self-led physical and creative recovery.

This work is essential for those who are houseless, severely disabled, and preyed upon by criminal elements when they have nowhere else to go for help.

4

Fourth! Getting this bridge strut in place relieves crisis circumstances being experienced by our front line interim financing collaborators, who have risked their own safety in order to assist us to get life-saving Intuitive Network architecture in place.

It is the courage of these funding collaborators that has made it possible for us to obtain and install major medical equipment, fundamental survival supports, and solutions to facilitate thriving in situations where otherwise our colleagues would have experienced permanent severe injury or death.

With this bridge strut, we can ensure they can stabilize the challenges that arose because they extended themselves to aid the community — continuing to demonstrate the ways in which we're all in this together, and we're looking out for one another.

5

This actually isn't even all of it, but it's a great start.

In the next live segment I'll tell you a little bit about our 2025 Q1 goal, January through March — how close we are to actually achieving it — and how unprecedented this success already is.

I so, so appreciate your feedback.

A collection of startling challenges and opportunities have set a natural deadline for us — 26 March 2025 — and a necessary goal — $2,500 — that will place our next bridge strut.

Would you take a look and consider helping us out?

Many of our readers have been following my gradual (and freaking amazing) ongoing recovery from my past decade of concussion injuries.

Yes, plural. Multiple concussion injuries.

Yeah. Zowie! 🌟⚡✨

The most important part of my recovery has been interrupted by problems with my vehicle, which is needed so that I can attend regular cranial realignment appointments — the process that gradually moves my head bones back into place!

Cranial realignment is a sensitive and delicate transition. This is quite a vulnerable place for me to be.

To get my car safely back to me so that I can restore access to these appointments with my doctor at the concussion institute… a lot of attention, effort, specific tasks, support, and money are required.

As you may or may not immediately imagine, accomplishing this requires me to be able to function! …at a time when my function has become quite compromised.

Very funny, I say to the universe! Quite a clever boondoggle. 🥰

Yet, we do have a meaningful approach for this. (The universe knew!!)

In very challenging physical disablement situations, it is often income flow which often best facilitates function.

Thankfully, income flow is what we in the Intuitive Economic are working so devotedly to achieve.

So we're going to bust this one out of the park.

I'll tell you the plan. It's a good plan.

The next post in this series will be published either later today or first thing tomorrow morning.

In it, I will give you more details about the goals we're able to move forward as soon as we hit this $2,500 mark.

Meanwhile, some of you know this game! (Ideaschema Intensive is in the HOUSE.)

If you're a member of Intuitive Actual (or spontaneously this moment decide to become a member of Intuitive Actual before you connect), reach out to me and ask how you can help. I'll include you in special secret concierge access to Intuitive Network Intelligence resources, open up collaborative opportunities that are key to your desired outcomes, and we'll jam together.

If you're not a member of Intuitive Actual, it so happens that you're also invited. But I'll need you to do something for me. Watch this 30-minute Duofeedback session, message me directly, tell me the future you want to manifest for yourself — and ask me how you can help me with mine. I'll walk you through the steps toward collaborative resonance.

It was a wonderful conversation — about reality… and belief.

What IS the universe? How is it shaped? And do we choose to shape ourselves?

Pre-order Get Out Of Here Alive (release date: 20 March 2025) here: amzn.to/4hyNpiF

Sol’s book is already the #1 new release in “alchemy” on Amazon in the United States.

To get it to the top of its category as a bestseller, Sol thinks it would only take 15 or 20 book sales in quick succession to boost it to the top.

I personally would love to discover that there was a surge of pre-orders for this book to get it featured more widely.

Could you help us out?

 “How much do you desire the thing?

How wise can you be… in attaining what you desire?

What do you make of your keenest opportunities?

What lights your heart a-fire?”

— Brushstrokes audio by Megan Elizabeth Morris in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Wednesday 12 March 2025 with the moon waxing in Leo at 00:49:20 AM Eastern Time

The second one, at the bottom, is for Purim. It is visible to the web and free subscribers — open for all to attend, enjoy, and celebrate!

The first one, an exploration of voice from earlier this morning, is for Intuitive Actual:

Thank you, friends.Blessings, gratitude, love, and joy!

If you don’t know about Purim, you’ll learn a little more when you listen to the story we’ve made. 🎭

At 08:32:53 Eastern Time I pressed the record button and relayed our collaborative story notes off-the-cuff — oh my goodness — stumbling through and finding the words as best I could.

Really, isn’t that all any of us can do?

I wondered, too, if (perhaps faint?) construction sounds in the background might sounds like the fireworks of celebration, relief, and transformative change… 🥰 You might or might not hear them. If you do (and if you don’t) — sing or dance your resonance along with us!

This can be super simple — maybe not immediately super easy! — and really powerful.

Where you put your attention… shapes reality.

It changes your experience of your body; it changes your body. It changes the flow of your physiology and the ways you engage with the world around you. It changes the resonance around you, which then interacts differently with the resonance of other beings and spaces and situations around you.

Following is a quote from Sol’s book, which will be officially published 20 March 2025. (You can still get a review copy, meanwhile, at this link.)

Here’s what I read on the air:

"Focus, really focus all the creative power of your attention on something incredibly positive you’d love to see happen in your life for five minutes a day until it happens."— Get Out Of Here Alive by Sol Luckman

There’s a lot of struggle and suffering in the world. How can we avoid getting caught in it — and how can we cultivate our greatest depth and potency — especially when we care deeply about the world and about living creatures?

First, we must root stability for ourselves; make our individual bodies and processes vital and resilient; so that when we come together to co-create, we bring that strength and stability to one another too.

"You're actually visualizing your dreambody, your etheric double, as yourself; and you're getting to know it. And as you get to know it, you are visualizing it in perfect health and in a robust way...” — Sol Luckman, Intuitive Public TV (25 February 2025)

Creative visualization is a beautiful kind of skill to spend your time developing. Even if you do at first find it challenging (which might or might not be a problem for you), it presents its own solution.

The focused act of potent visualization increases energy. Whatever energy you use in doing this exercise is exchanged for the energy you generate as you get better at it.

I’ve found my explorations of this realm of practice to be inherently physically transformative; and as many of you are aware, I’m coming from long-term circumstances of severe and significant physical debility, complex crisis, and compound injury.

Function-leaps forward are a big win.

Five Minutes A Day Matters.

(Like, dude. Creates matter…)

Who benefits when you’re scattered and unfocused?

Somebody else, for sure; and it’s not a great situation to have someone benefiting from your confusion.

Who benefits when you build your strength of creative focus?

You… and as a result, your loved ones… your community… your environment…

Holding a conscious, deliberate focus for five minutes at a time is not only an accomplishment — it’s key to reclaiming your life force.

Yes, it might be difficult to focus your creative energy for even five minutes without being distracted or pulled away from it. Especially when you are navigating continuous stressors, crises, and/or life challenges, as so many people are.

But when it’s especially challenging, it’s especially powerful, too.

You’re building your own bodymind. This is an excellent alternative to the more common experience… of getting disconnected from your body while becoming more entrenched in the default mind imposed upon you by influences that make a buck from directing your attention, actions, and energy utilizations.

Success requires desire, intent, and commitment.

And it’s worth it.

Developing conscious focus strengthens our powers for intentional change and shifts our experiences, our capacities, and our reality in meaningful ways.

This isn’t only about individual creative focus either. It’s about collaborative and collective focus too.

At about 14 and a half minutes in, Sol happens to reference the Maharishi effect — in which focused meditation has been shown to reduce crime rates and accidents in communities.

When you bring creative visualization into your meditation practice… and learn how to vision and influence the energies in your own body… we are taking this up a level.

In our focused creative intention — what can we achieve together?

Also during this broadcast, Sol and I discuss the interconnections between elements of creative visualization and Regenetics, the paradigm-altering healing (whole-ing) modality developed by Sol and his partner, Leigh.

I’ve been personally rocked (and continuously intrigued) over the past three years by my experiences during and after Potentiation, which is a process you can play in, too, by joining the Worldwide Potentiation Ceremony that Sol and Leigh facilitate on the first Sunday of every month at 10-10:30 PM Eastern Time.

You can join this half-hour ceremony from wherever you are, waking or sleeping; and you can sign up on the Worldwide Potentiation Ceremony page here.

Get Out Of Here Alive by Sol Luckman is available for preorder now — and preordering is a great way to support the book’s launch and reach (thank you!). The Kindle edition will be officially released spring equinox, 20 March 2025.

We broadcast this segment on 17 February 2025. After the exceptional experience I and Intuitive Network colleagues had at the Co-Creating A World That Works For All 2024 Global Summit sponsored by Berrett-Koehler Foundation in June and July, I was grateful to get to talk more with Peggy one-on-one and learn more about her work.

In September, Peggy invited my reflections on our Intuitive Network experience of the World That Works summit as part of an illustrated documentation series highlighting this beautiful two-part experiment in self-organizing.

In our Simultistream’d Intuitive Public TV broadcast, I share more close-ups of the wonderful illustration April Doner created based on our conversations.

Here are just a few of our segment notes!

* The impact of the Co-Creating A World That Works For All 2024 Global Summit — an exploration of whole-systems change and how it nurtures social co-creation. (You can still view the summit map here!)

* Design for the margins — ensuring accessibility and meaningful participation for those often left out; and how this also best supports all community members.

* The power of Open Space Technology — how powerful this modality can be! and how it facilitates curiosity, emergence, and deep dialogue.

* Strengthening community infrastructure — through shared leadership, presence, and mutual support.

* The upcoming World Open Space on Open Space (WOSONOS) conference in Kenya — the 31st annual gathering in Fall 2025 to continue this work globally.

* Peggy’s recommendation of Tova Averbuch’s book, Initiating and Inviting Generative Change: Entry and Contracting for Emergent Outcomes in Result Driven Organizations.

* Peggy’s article about Emergent Design for Generative Change on Substack.

* Appreciative mentions of the transformative contributions of Harrison Owen, the creator of Open Space Technology; and Peggy’s colleagues and collaborators from Berrett-Koehler Foundation & Publishers, the Open Space community, and the WTW Global Summit.

Our ongoing practices in the Intuitive Network are profoundly aligned with these principles. It’s such a joy to deepen our interconnectivity with individuals and communities that value them.

We are especially invested in drawing together even more support for projects at these intersections. Not only is this work truly, fundamentally life-saving… it enriches all community spaces.

When we practice this way together, we build resonating relationships, we implement effective solutions for sticky challenges, and we regenerate collaborative economic vitality.

As we continue refining our approaches to community resilience, emergent design, and Intuitive Network architecture, we are learning so much from one another.

It’s been increasingly clear to me how important Peggy’s work and ways of building community are to all of us, and to our collective visioning of a world that works for all.

It was an important conversation — as well as being great fun — and it included a lot of crucial touch points for helping us all navigate the kinds of prodigious challenges we’re encountering in the world right now.

Kato McNickle is a playwright, director, and the editor of Wolf Criers Club on Substack.

We talked extensively about theater, storytelling, and collaborative artistry as tools for recovery, building resilience, and social connectivity.

In our video broadcast, Kato shares insights from her lifelong journey in expressive arts and facilitating creative spaces. And she’s a wonderful storyteller.

Particularly, I wanted to learn more about a project Kato had previously mentioned — where her theater group was practicing not only creative expression, but also community care and adaptive support for group members navigating mental health challenges.

Theater is a powerful modality for healing, connection, and skill-building — especially for those often left out of traditional performance spaces and community activities.

Kato talked about the ways in which her group was practicing more than putting on plays; that they were redesigning theater from the ground up so that participation could be accessible to people with diverse experiences of trauma and hardship.

Whereas typical theater spaces expect participants to self-initiate and commit to rigid (often inaccessible) schedules, Kato and her colleagues created a different invitation process to remove social barriers and actively welcome more people in.

For me, it’s particularly meaningful hearing that their group prioritized coordinating transportation support for those without — directly controverting what can often be a painful situation of isolation for an individual who doesn’t have their own form of transportation available to them.

We packed a ton of great discussion into this 42 minutes — theater process, social confidence-building, trauma awareness and trust, sketch comedy, graphic arts and caricature work, storytelling, professional community collaborations and publishing platforms.

“That was how we would think about it. It's not ‘the show must go on.’ It's that we must go on together.”— Kato McNickle (12 February 2025)

Relearning how to navigate the world is a step by step process, and it’s much more powerful as a shared process. Breath by breath. Scene by scene.

This reclaiming of the right to be heard, known, and part of something bigger — really moves me.

Thank you so much to Kato McNickle for spending this time with us! And to our Intuitive Public TV viewing and listening audience for tuning in, commenting joy, and sharing clips, links, and good energy from our broadcasts.

This is so exciting.

Sol Luckman — author of international best-selling wellness non-fiction and multi-award-winning visionary fiction, indie music, emotive visual art, and multimedia magic — has been such a blessing to the Intuitive Community Media Network.If you look through all the broadcasts where we’ve featured his work, you’ll see something of how I’ve changed over the past 5 years.

And more than just what’s apparent from the video segments, it’s amazing for me to notice and remember changes I’ve experienced between broadcast cycles…

…from our original interview in December 2021…

…to our group processes of exploring Sol’s work through 2022, 2023, and continuing… including small, fleeting narrative vignettes of my own Potentiation experiences…

…the Super Secret Audio Project, that as-yet-still-so-mysterious unfolding reference to collaborative vim we are building (!)…

…then the series of segments Sol broadcast with me in pre-recorded conversations in October 2023 later that same year (1, 2, 3, 4, 5!)…

…and holy moly, now we’re in 2025. Simultistreaming!!

Sol Luckman’s work has been a major and transformative factor in my recovery trajectories since I discovered his platforms in 2020-2021.

His offerings turned out to be uniquely aligned with what I needed to find in the world to give me necessary rehabilitative leverage… from a position most people thought impossible to recover from.

Sol’s generosity in collaborative dialogue has been notable, especially considering the continuous challenges I had been (and in some aspects, still am) navigating.

And the ways that my contact with Sol’s work has supported our Intuitive Network survivors’ groups… for Intuitive Unknown, yes, and beyond… have had a profound impact on quite a number of us.

The day Sol confirmed on my schedule for this recent February 2025 Intuitive Public TV Simultistream broadcast, 11 February 2025 — unrealized by either of us at the time — was a day that daykeepers I’ve followed call 6 and Eagle (or Birds) in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar.

Birdsong, of course, is a magnificently relevant topic. And magpies, particularly, for me — which we touch on especially resonantly.

Please join us for this wonderful conversation about the transmutation of energy, the regaining of creative capacities, our powers in navigating especially challenging situations, and more vital perspectives that support those of us seeking autonomy in self-healing when traditional systems have fallen short.

Goodness gracious. Thank you for adventuring with us!

I've gotta give this a try.

Why am I not asleep yet? Do you know?

Perhaps you could help me get that memo.

I am continuously amazed by what's been happening in my body.

There are significant challenges, yes. And my function and capacity has rapidly expanded.

Previous changes had been happening much more slowly than they've been most recently.

I do not assume anything. I do not expect any particular flow of positive changes to remain at the pace they've been manifesting.

We have wells and surges, and we have troughs — and a kind of easing forward that doesn't follow any sort of regular pattern, except that improvements do seem to be more and more becoming a norm.

And this without exactly an abatement of intensities… extremities.

What I find myself instead experiencing is that deepening of capacity, where the functions have attuned in ways that support me to rise to an occasion I could not meet the times before when those challenges had come to me.

So I am, for sure, raising the floor*.

But the ceiling also has been shifting in a positive way.

The most important part is the former, but I shan't overlook the opportunity to celebrate the latter.

What is this?

Life energy. Physical existence.

What wild times we're in.

It had been a while since the previous experience of doing so.

More recently I noticed some shifts in the ways I conceive of various previous events and thought, okay, now's the time to do this.

Let's see who is where.

Let's see what conversations might be spontaneously emergent.

And once again… I find myself encountering the reality of what I have watched occurring in my communities for more than a decade now.

The disintegration of people's ability to communicate — being one major one.

The destruction of community resourcing… of shared memory…

The uncertain and vulnerable sensitivities of people enduring much more severe trauma than they have a language for expressing or processing.

This is a continuation of what we've been seeing, what we've been discussing; wondering what we can do, and noticing that these conditions are increasingly normalized — sometimes in very weird ways — where the living organisms involved just don't know how to extract themselves from it.

It becomes the sea they're swimming in. And as memory fails, it becomes more and more incontrovertibly their “natural” environment… even with that sneaking or surreptitious or striking sense of how unnatural it all actually is.

What is the place of this kind of journal entry, diatribe, or startlement line?

Where are we located in spacetime?

What is it we are blessed to contact and recognize?

From such an unsettling darkness comes dawn and sunlight.

All rich soil is made of what has broken down before it.

Though there is pain… and great challenges… our wakefulness prepares us for putting solutions to it.

Our dreaming has supremely nourished us. Even the nightmare stuff.

Here we are, all together, with meaning and purpose… at varying degrees of conscientiousness… and communications capacity… and collaborative fluency.

But here, regardless.

The shared power in that is immense.

And I'm so glad for your presence, friends.

In the Intuitive Network, I and we are bridging diverse intersections. If you find yourself resonating here in recognition, you might like to explore more of this connectivity 1:1 and in our co-creative Intuitive Network process groups via Intuitive.Social/Duo.

What are you navigating? Let me know if I can help you out — here in the comments, in a private message, or by scheduling a session.

Bless your challenges and they’ll bless you back… — MEM

…in which those experiencing the greatest amount of harm…

…are positioned for the most powerful regenerative outcomes.

This is the antithesis of victim mode; where the level of extremity you've experienced… the profoundness of challenge you're having to navigate… maps reliably onto the energetic that deepens and expands as you recognize your personal…

…vitality…

…in it.

This is not necessarily something that's easy to come to terms with.

I remember so clearly the difficulties I've had coming to terms with it. And each juncture, again and again, where the experience of it became incontrovertible: that unless I wanted to give up and die — enough to actually result in my permanent death — the core of power in the most daunting challenges I have ever encountered was primed to become what I most needed and desired it to be. This changes the game of physical reality.

It transforms our perspectives that have been based on something we were taught about how the world works; an expectation that was set about what we could achieve or what would be possible to even imagine navigating.

Our expectations have been misguided from the beginning.

We are miraculous beings.

How do we feel about that?

I feel very activated by it. My trajectory from the place where… I even started with expecting seemingly impossible things to be absolutely possible.

But where I was before is nothing like where I am now.

And many people have not had the privilege of starting where I started in that.

Many people are in a place where what we've achieved already is unimaginable; much less what we're about to achieve.

We're crafting the economics of something many people have hesitated to even dream. And we know that we here are powerful dreamers adventuring through powerful dreaming.

That feeling state thrills me.

Quotes & notes incoming, below. Here we go.

"…There are these two categories: the work you do for money and the handouts you get for charity…"

"There are particular kinds of work that are paid for, that people can find jobs to do that they are paid for. And if that is not viable or possible… handouts for charity."

"If one cannot do those jobs, then there IS the wonderful potential of creating one's own paying work…

…IF one can do the things that are necessary in order to organize and achieve one's own chosen, most meaningful paying work."

"But we're still only talking about two categories here. We're still talking about the work that one does (if one can) for money that is paid to them… where that work is valued by people who have money.

Or… we're talking about the handout for charity that is given because we don't want to see the suffering in the world to be the way the suffering is."

"To alleviate suffering is such an important drive for so many people, not wanting to allow the suffering to simply go on, wanting to help."

"What I don't see people talking about at length…

…is how we pay one another to do the most meaningful vocational work that a person is moved to do and strengthened by doing…

…in service to that person's broader collective; community body, family, region."

The work their bodies can do.

The work their bodies are already doing every day whether or not they’re paid.

"People on the ground, on the front lines… at the most extreme hardship intersections… have a premium form of professional expertise.

They are having to meet challenges and impossible situations that they're not being offered any help with generally."

"The people who are meeting these challenges are often doing a lot of extra work to show that they really need the charity handouts… when they could be paid for the work they're already doing. The work that is actually the most crucial work that they could possibly do in their community."

What a tremendous amount of wasted energy this would save all of us.

What a tremendous amount of money and time this would free up.

The collaborative outcomes would be spectacular.

"People are doing what most needs done in their communities, often without being paid for it; often with no feeling of hope that they could ever be paid for it.

But they're doing that work in exceptionally effective ways.

Because if they don't, people die."

"If we organize to pay individuals and groups to do the work that most needs done where they're at, at their unique intersections of hardship (trauma, violence, invisibility) and great challenges…

…we give them a massively improved opportunity to do that work well."

"Pay people to do the work that is most needed — that they've already been demonstrating must happen.

They've already been saving their own lives and one another's lives by doing that work. Many for years. Many for decades."

What did Gladwell say, 10,000 hours? That’s not even fourteen months of hours, ya’ll.

(Missed the memo on dream travel process and you want me to just count waking hours? Positing 8 hours of sleep a night, 10,000 hours is not even two years of waking hours.

People in hardship are working every minute of every day — often even when someone may think it looks like “uselessness” or play — and yes, many also in their sleep — to find ways to stabilize their intersections.

And it’s pretty rare, at severe intersections, to be getting any kind of normative, restful sleep.)

"Let's pay them to do that most needed work — instead of only ever talking about this work over here that is the only available work that... 'Oh, well, you can't do because you're disabled in this particular way, so you can't do the work... What are you going to do?'

It turns out those people have really amazing skill sets and proficiencies that are needed by their community.

And they can only scratch together a little bit of support for themselves and their community, if there's no mechanism by which they are paid to deepen, expand, share, and regenerate those forms of frontline expertise."

That’s such a rough game.

But when we optimize the Intuitive Network — we have a radically different, wondrously regenerative game we can play.

Some beings can move very swiftly through a particular process…

…while other beings might find that that same kind of process, or the subject of that process, takes them a lifetime to move through.

When we practice particular care for one another's necessary pacing, we make it much more possible for many more of us to participate in supporting one another and achieving desired recovery outcomes when we've experienced trauma, injury, or compound health challenges.

Even when we just need relief from stress… this is really important.

The pace at which you process or achieve something might be completely different for another person. Keeping this in mind lets more of us travel pathways together — even if we're doing it asynchronously — because pacing pressure will significantly slow down someone's process (or stop it altogether). And pacing support that recognizes that individual living being's needs tends to allow that person's process to proceed in the most expedient way.

Whether it's slow or fast, direct, linear, roundabout, or seemingly random…

…it's that person's most necessary form of processing what they're needing or choosing to process.

Find more posts about Intuitive Process by clicking here.

…is one's own freedom of process.

If you have an environment in which you are fully supported to have your truest process, that means that in other areas of your life… you're able to support the pace, style, or language of someone else's process.

If you are prevented from having a space where your own process is most safe to share, practice, and engage with… this prevents you from supporting others' necessary processes.

When living beings experience trauma, it's more difficult for that living being to recognize and support another being's trauma.

And when you cross a certain threshold of trauma, you might have no way of realizing that an experience you're having with someone else is because they have a different kind of trauma than you. That you're both trauma survivors, that you're both severely affected in various ways — but you might mischaracterize what's happening with them because you still need more support for your trauma recovery process in order to be able to recognize and support someone else's trauma recovery process.

It helps tremendously to remember this.

All of us still have ways that we miss something that we would have liked to have recognized in a moment.

But when we practice remembering this together, we ensure to the greatest of our ability that we are keeping spaces for ourselves and one another… where each person can express and move through their process freely and fully.

Where there are difficulties, misunderstandings, friction, or conflict, we know that the great likelihood is others have different needs, different experiences, a different process that needs to be supported.

And so we know that that kind of support needs to be built.

We know that we need to make some space somewhere safe for a particular person to have their particular process, if that doesn't exist for them yet.

These practices allow us to care for one another in situations where previously we might have thought, "There's no solution for this; I just have to totally get away from this situation."

People are cut off from one another when they don't want to be because they just don't know what to do.

When we remember these elements of process care for ourselves and with one another, we ease and de-escalate conflict in wonderful ways.

PS. For more, take a look at what we shared previously about Molly Brawer’s recent post at CREATING OUT LOUD:

Notes!

Dynamics of intense emotional responses in crisis situations — and, most crucially, co-regulation and embodied presence for effective communication and support.

Bridging communication between individuals experiencing resource scarcity and those with greater access and stability.

Maintaining personal capacity and resilience while desiring to help others.

Development of Intuitive Prowess processes for deepening and expanding our proficiencies in rising to the worthy challenges of this day and age.

Appreciative mentions of the exceptionally relevant and powerful work of Kasia Urbaniak, Linda Kohanov, and Alison Armstrong.

Our ongoing practice of co-creating supportive community infrastructure.

Bringing congruence to the Intuitive Somatic Economic.

What happens when we make it safe for ourselves and one another…

…to be who we really are?

When we, as Molly did, reassure one another: If this isn't right for you, I won't be upset if you take care of yourself and do what you need to do.

Where we ensure contexts and relationships where we really want to support one another — where each person really is at.

And we don't want there to be pressures to perform falsely.

Where the relationship is most real is where the relationship can be what it really is.

In groups working through Intuitive Prowess and Eso Exp, we talk a lot about somatic sensing. And we practice somatic sensing.

My conversations with Thea Fast have profoundly helped to anchor me in the awareness of what my body really desires. That is crucial for me, to have enough information about what my body actually needs and is strengthened by; to make choices that fulfill my real needs and effectively strengthen me.

The necessity of facilitating spaces, environments, projects, and dialogues that expressly support authentic expression is one of the driving forces of the Intuitive Network infrastructure.

In order for any individual who has experienced injury, trauma, or hardship to unfold their most powerful and resonant recovery outcomes, they must be free to be who they most profoundly must be — their whole self.

It can be tricky to come to terms with, to even realize… how many pressures there are in the world that work against our knowing ourselves and becoming ourselves in the ways that are most right for each of us. Especially considering our diverse and amazing life experiences.

When people have this kind of support to be themselves, for that to be supported far and beyond what is usually discussed…

…when we support one another to be most true to ourselves…

…honor that, celebrate that, lean into it, and be grateful that we're having a true interaction or a true experience with or about someone who expresses themselves most honestly according to their real needs and their real desires…

It changes the world in ways I never expected.

People are powerful from this kind of place.

People do work that shifts what otherwise seemed could never be shifted.

People grow beautiful nourishing gardens from what they're drawn toward because they know more about what they're drawn toward.

They're not cutting themselves off at the pass over and over and over again — cutting themselves off at the knees — cutting themselves off when they need to say something that they are most moved by.

And perhaps you can guess how important this is, when our community members have experienced something very traumatic or very violent that others don't know about…

…where the community is best served by being aware of what all community members are experiencing.

Because then the community can collaborate to protect the members of the community.The community can make choices and build solutions that prevent the members of that community from having to encounter that kind of trauma again in the future. And for people who have never encountered that kind of trauma, maybe they don't have to.

Because the community body is wakeful, and present, and attuned with all the members of the community body. All the living beings who are part of that collective living structure.

Humans and all creatures.

We cross-posted it on the Intuitive Public Radio Substack because it says very simply and very directly how important it is for us to be who we are and engage with our most authentic personal process.

If we do not center our most authentic personal process, we don't know what's happening in our bodies; we're not able to come to understand circumstances better; we're not able to solve problems; we're not able to communicate effectively with one another.

We're not able to build bridges, if we don't center that most authentic personal process.

This is another one of the many reasons we have continued to highlight the work of Arnold and Amy Mindell in the Intuitive Network.

To know one's own process, one must have the safety and freedom to express the parts of one's process that need most to be expressed.

If we stop one another from doing that, it causes tremendous harm — and prevents recovery trajectories where recoveries could be possible. It makes people unhappy and confused about their lives.

It's very difficult for people to do their most meaningful work if their process is inhibited.

We talk about this a lot in terms of the most severely disabled people, the most invisible, the people in the greatest hardship.

But it's extremely important to consider this in terms of the basic needs of every living being.

If a bird is stopped from singing, if a fish is stopped from swimming…

…if a human with profound art inside themselves is prevented from expressing that art…

…there are consequences that affect all of us.

"Noticing art vignettes that emerge from whatever I'm experiencing or a way that I'm expressing myself.

I might be saying something, I might be channeling poetry, I might be singing…

…I might be sitting silently.

Dream Travel, Storybeing.”

"A lot of people are moving through what we have (maybe) been taught to call disorientation."

"…Sort of like the conversation about ‘neurodivergence’ where we say, wait a second… what are we diverging from?

Something we're not sure we want to anchor and normalize."

"Disorientation inherently colludes with an enforced orientation."

"Just as Arny Mindell reminds us — there are things that are counted, and there are things that are discounted that may be very worthy of counting."

There may be experiences called disorientation that are very worthy for us to orient ourselves toward."

"Silent stillness...

Drawing a picture, not even necessarily of a particular thing…”

“Making musical sounds of any kind, words or not…

Writing poetry from one's verbal inclinations and/or moment-to-moment spontaneous expressions…”

"My favorite flow states are not predictable — cannot be planned, except to honor and celebrate them when they show up unexpectedly."

"When I support these kinds of experiences most effectively, it tends to result in increases in other functions that are more recognized as viable and desirable in the world around me.

Might help me do some math later… communicate in (what is called) a ‘normative’ mainstream-ish way… might help me prepare a meal… clean a corner… do physical rehab that I couldn't achieve otherwise previously.”

"And I notice that being with my process about this is scary. ‘How dare you explore nonlinear modalities (!).’”

“What it takes us… to recognize and validate our experiences outside of the structures we've been told are the only acceptable ones to engage with…

…It is courageous.”

“…Especially in a world where people who follow their dream-travel-storybeingness are sometimes really harmed for it.”

"And yet the creative nutriment of it is so powerful.

We're really lucky when we realize that."

What if you were told to do something to help them… that would hurt them?

What if you were told that they would fight it, that they would thrash and not know what's best for them?

What if somebody made a mistake and misread the whole situation?

What if more people made that mistake… and established structures of care doing terrible harm?

What would it look like if that happened?

How would we make the necessary distinctions?

How could we build a bridge to know one another again?

Intuitive Public Service

1 • Resource yourself! Learn to communicate effectively and successfully with diverse social groups and intersectionalized individuals.

2 • Co-create public media to share knowledge, expand engagement, and amplify the voices of the most disabled and invisible people.

3 • Explore collaborapreneurship — inclusive economic and vocational vitality for every person, family, community, business, and project.

"When we learn one another's languages in a more devoted and expansive way, we have a lot more options for how we solve problems together."

"People are looking to bridge languaging between social groups that otherwise usually would not be able to talk with one another at all."

"The experiences that survivors of severity at the most extreme hardship intersections share with us… there is no substitute for that. We need to know what's really going on."

"In order to re-enter economic strata, to bridge with what is generally considered to be economics… we've had to build our bodies together."

"Each person does what that person can do in the moment. Together we constitute a collective body working towards a purpose."

"Uplift those voices… put professional media toolsets in their hands… involve them in collaborative solutions that help them to build platforms of economic participation and vocational vitality… and we are with a much more robust, much more whole collective body."

…when we found it to be paramount…

…that we bridge between social codes…

…to find anyone who could recognize enough of the situation we were navigating…

…to respond appropriately…

…in some portion…

…with some decency and longevity.

We stopped categorizing people according to ideology.

We began to collect those in whom we found the capacity for human connectivity…

…the ones we met who responded { to our request from the intersections of greatest extremity }…

…to dialogue with us…

…and explore the potential…

…for solutions and collaborative strategy…

…collaborating with survivors of greatest severity.

Doing this has resulted in a vast mix of amazing, beautiful people who do not speak one another's languages necessarily — but who have all anchored with us in kindness and respect in some crucial way.

It is such a privilege to have met them, to get to know them, to return again and again to dialogue with them.

And it is a powerful priority of mine to introduce you to them.

Thank you for being here with us. It means a lot.

Our custom transcript for the above interview is mostly edited, though there may still be some errors. Here is the transcript document link, so that those who really need a transcript can follow along more easily. Thank you to Intuitive Network colleagues who helped us compile it!

We’d like to introduce you to Rob Wipond, author of “Your Consent Is Not Required.”

Rob Wipond is a freelance investigative journalist of more than two decades, who writes about mental health, psychiatry, civil rights, policing, surveillance and privacy, and social change. His articles have been nominated for 17 magazine and journalism awards.

Rob’s work brings to light the broader societal implications of mental health laws, forced treatment, and involuntary detention.

His book was published in January 2023, entitled “Your Consent Is Not Required: The Rise in Psychiatric Detentions, Forced Treatment, and Abuse of Guardianships.”

In his research and writing, Rob explores the expansive reach of laws and practices well beyond the stereotypical media portrayal of mental health issues within hardship-afflicted and homeless populations.

His work aims to foreground the voices of those whose experiences are often dismissed, and to provide an evidence-based challenge to the dominant narrative surrounding involuntary psychiatric treatments.

Throughout this discussion, Rob advocates for a systemic shift towards patient empowerment and involvement in policy-making, echoing the need for professional practices that respond to the real needs of communities and individuals.

* For whom is it safe to call a suicide “help” line when they are thinking or feeling about subjects related in some way to suicidality?

* What if they're thinking or feeling about death, about their vulnerability, or about their own mortality?

* When we are having very challenging experiences, how do we evaluate how and whether to reach out to a suicide “help” line?

* What kind of dialogue can we have here today with community members, family members, friends and colleagues who might expect that their loved one can reach out to a suicide helpline when they're experiencing difficult times?

In today's broadcast from our conversation of 21 December 2023, our intent is to bring greater care, understanding and solutions to conversations around suicide prevention, mental health crises, and the quality of our relationships with one another.

There is deep pain in the world, especially for those who are most vulnerable and without resource access.

When flawed systems fail us during critical moments, it affects not only our own lives but the lives and livelihoods of family and community members all around us.

We must navigate the inherent complexities of these subject intersections when ensuring consent and dignity for those enduring severe inner turmoil or impairment… as well as when we make important choices about where and how to ask for help.

And we do want to make sure that when we reach out for help… it’s help that we’re receiving.

Rob’s work and this conversation help anchor pro-active compassion — to expand access and choice while elevating ethics, empowerment and essential safeguards.

Rob's thorough research presents true stories and hard data from many sources, including people with lived experiences across the mental health spectrum in the United States and Canada.

"Rob Wipond’s Your Consent Is Not Required builds an unassailable case for greater transparency, vigilance, and change." — BenBella Books, Penguin Random House • Your Consent Is Not Required published January 2023 • RobWipond.com

As we assess crisis response models to determine the most life-affirming, consent-based options, we are making space for new blessings to unfold.

We acknowledge the urgency of problems being experienced across many communities — and at the same time, we aim to learn how we can better honor the rights and intrinsic worth of those most impacted during all phases of support.

Consensual, respect-oriented, healing-centered care is a powerful compass for us in the Intuitive Network. We embark on these conversations cognizant of the rights, vulnerabilities and dignity at stake for all involuntarily impacted groups.

With openness, accountability and care guiding us forward, the path ahead promises more of the true, attuned solutions we all hope for in times of personal crisis.

For these reasons and more, our Intuitive groups want to see Rob Wipond’s work recognized and accessible, far and wide. Rob has posted these suggestions at his website about how you can help to promote his book to increased readership.

Please take a look at his page there, and see what you might do to share this work in your own communities.

In this earnest issue, episodic, our community co-hosts highlight the work of Intuitive Actual in collaboratively organizing these first two crucial points of Intuitive Economic… with a brief taste of the third and most detailed point, to be more thoroughly explored in the upcoming release of our subsequent recording session.

A note concerning en-title-meant: There was some deliberation over whether to spell it "parlay" or "parley"; for sure we are bringing our won-resources to an expanded bet; for sure we are bridging dialogues between diverse parties oft-conflicted.

Daring adventure. What a gambol!

Even without oft-assumed memory circuitry, our story is bustling.

Intuitive Actual Economic • Program Notes

Point 1 • The more constituents who are missing from the collective body, the more challenging it is for the collective body and its individual members to succeed individually and as a community.

Example: How well can you walk without one leg? How well can you evaluate the safety of your environment without your eyes, ears, or nose?

Point 2 • The more constituents who are missing from (invisibly deteriorating, experiencing compounding burdens in & to) the collective body, the more difficult it is for individuals and groups (including families) to thrive economically.

Example: When we are all interconnected as part of the economy, compounding disaster and destruction that is not recognized and appropriately addressed by the collective body becomes a concentrated burden upon those in its vicinity, especially those who are already invisible, disabled, multiply-marginalized, survivors of personal and/or multi-generational trauma, and/or severely affected.

It has been a whole year (and thensome) since our original Intuitive book launch in Springtime '23. These pages are fuller and deeper than ever they were before.

Watch this content stream closely for new news, metafictions, dream travel, and our fanciest dance steps in imaginal realism.

Tune your receiving transceivers toward the upcoming Intuitive Actual Economic • Point Three, soon to be released into the great public wilderness of popular social dialectic.

Dear beloveds, hang strong with us this little while — then stay.

You honor us utterly.

Honorable, considered measures to recover economic and media privilege for all.

Does this subject seem to feel… enticing?

In this Simultistream broadcast of 11 March 2024, Megan Elizabeth Morris (Mack, Max, Mo — and Megan the M) unfolds the complex yet delicate ecosystem of the collective body; its economics, its communications, its reach and agility… its inherent somatic vitality.

Together with dear viewers (as well as listeners, contemplators, and psychic tuner-inners) we ponder the ouch, ironic disparities faced by the most vulnerable among us. These severely disabled and severely affected colleagues often find themselves without recognition, without belonging, and without a voice; unknown, unseen, unheard.

Yet, these survivor-colleagues are an integral part of the collective. And without our awareness of their lived experiences and circumstances, we stumble through a cruelly-normalized tokenization of those we'd profoundly benefit from actually knowing.

When we practice community connectivity — com-munity, where together we gift privileges to and with one another as part of wholeness and relational integrity — we restore the living resources of recovery potential and reclaim vocational vitality for the entire community body.

It doesn't serve us to overlook our parts.

No need to let so many go missing.

Aside: Read more about our Simultistream broadcast adventuring, including this Simultistream 0003, by exploring our Substack article of March 13th:

The more we notice contextual depths in how we navigate all we’re navigating, the more prepared we are for the newest and most unexpected of experiences unfolding.

We're not talking about "leveling the playing field," exactly, because all our fields are unique and individual; but we are all here together, resonating, vibrating; interrelated in interbeingness.

Ensuring that recovery privilege is something we share with one another… generously, and with true care… empowers everyone to regain function, release dependence upon the most disabling of "disability aids," and avoid the tricks and traps of monetized help-that-hurts.

(What's that Johanna O'Tigham has been mentioning so frequently, recently? The debility dollar. Hmm! Intriguing.)

Megan's take on the (Intuitive) economic power of media privilege in the hands and hearts of our most invisible and severely affected brethren proffers new, emergent and engrossing discussions of Intuitive Public Media; how we can healthfully highlight the essential aptitudes and awesome expertise of those otherwise unseen, and promote attuned healing through many forms of embodied collaborative fluency.

We speak here to the soul of the communal body; addressing damages to and absences of parts dearly needed; and become more deeply aware of our own intimate knowledge of disabling experiences — visible, or hidden.

In dialogue we extend an olive branch, a message of courage and compassion, to all wrestling secretly (or thrashing in the open) with circumstantial complexity.

When we understand the natural interrelationships of living creatures… and the spurious links of artificial interconnectivity, which pretends to be something it cannot truly achieve… we start to recognize how powerful these dialogues can be.

Watch for our upcoming video content exploring Intuitive Economic and the (solvable! miracle-making!) implications of missing… then restoring… so many crucial parts of our communal anatomies.

From macrocosm to microcosm and round-and-round again; from a spark of the moment to relational memory… we navigate challenges successfully.

We celebrate our increasing capacities.

O, Divine design — the wide-awake wondrousness of collective belonging.

Tell us here in the comments how you feel…

…what you hear and see…

…and who you're becoming.

His name is Jim —

Fr. James Aloysius Shea O'Brien, SJ. 

Jim has been like a second father or grandfather to me, a community father in the truest sense, and deeply dear to us. He was 96 years young, a bright light, and a living prayer.

He committed tremendous time, love, and physical exertion to helping us, far more than almost anyone in our greater geographical region or in the whole world.

He treated my father as a brother and showed up for my mother and father, my sister and me, in life-changing ways. My mother and father and I have relied profoundly upon his kindness, insight, companionship, and collaboratorship for many years. 

We saved one another's lives repeatedly.

Fr. Jim supported us both practically and emotionally at critical times, often in contact daily, even when he had other serious commitments to attend to. 

For long periods and especially recently he committed sessions of several hours at a time, twice a week, to helping us develop and implement solutions for the otherwise-impossible situations we and our community network have been experiencing — even during the most horrible of his own physical suffering. 

He was one of very few recognizing our circumstances and the circumstances of the Intuitive Network, and dedicated his time and care to doing everything in his power to help us.

He did this for many years, even though he had very little and was himself very severely disabled, experiencing tremendous physical pain and debility. 

And it was not only our family that he helped in ways like these — he extended this kind of deliberate attunement to everyone around him.

There's a lot more I want to say; recordings we made or planned together that I want to publish; video clips, conversational excerpts, collaborative projects, and visions forward from Jim's time with us that are all especially present now in this time of transition. 

Truly, the whole world has changed for all of us. 

I'm going to take this first step.

I'll tell you more as we go.

Thank you for being here with us, Jim.

We know of no one anywhere who achieved what you did with such patience, kindness, and courage; so deeply caring for the world and those around you. 

And we know that… in a slightly different way now… you're still doing it.

We are all stronger, more faithful, and more loving for your part in it.

With love,

Megan Elizabeth Morris

A few quotes from The Times Leader’s 27 December 2023 article by Jocelyn King “O’Brien remembered for kindness and spirit of service”…

"WHEELING — The Rev. James O’Brien — the longest-serving Jesuit priest at Wheeling University and a recent inductee into the Wheeling Hall of Fame — died Saturday at age 96, the university announced over the holiday weekend.

Those who knew him remembered him for his faith, love of others and devotion to his community.” —Jocelyn King, The Times Leader (27 December 2023)

“The life and ministry of Father James O’Brien, SJ, left an indelible mark on Wheeling University that will be felt for years to come. We give thanks to God for his vocation, and join university staff and students in mourning his loss.”

— Tim Bishop, director of communications and marketing for the Diocese, quoted in The Times Leader (27 December 2023)

“It is with a heavy heart that I share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our beloved, Reverend James O’Brien, S.J., a devoted servant of God and cherished member of our community. 

Father O’Brien lived a truly beautiful life. His unshakeable faith, his deep love, and his tireless service made him a guiding light for us all.

We are all better people today because of him. His gentle words, unwavering belief, and infectious kindness touched countless lives, leaving a lasting imprint on our hearts. In the coming days, we will share details regarding arrangements to celebrate his remarkable life. For now, let us hold Father O’Brien and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

May God bless him, keep him, and grant him eternal rest.”

— WU President Ginny Favede, quoted in The Times Leader (27 December 2023)

"Each year during Alumni Weekend, the Alumni Council presents the James O’Brien, S.J. Award to recent graduates who manifest a growing competence in their chosen field, and whose personal life reflects the university’s mission of educating 'men and women for life, leadership and service to others.'" —Jocelyn King, The Times Leader (27 December 2023)

"Information from the Wheeling Hall of Fame states that O’Brien first came to what is now Wheeling University in 1962 as a young Jesuit to teach philosophy. A few years later, he would take an academic leave of absence to complete work on his doctorate at Duquesne University.

He organized the first Appalachian Experience Club in 1978 to help those in need in southern West Virginia. O’Brien, along with students, would chop wood to heat the homes of the less fortunate and enjoy the rural setting each fall and spring break. While the club no longer exists, its mission, to serve others, has blossomed into the university’s Appalachian Institute.

Now in its 21st year, the institute continues to promote research, service and advocacy with the people of the region." —Jocelyn King, The Times Leader (27 December 2023)

The above plaque honoring Jim’s contributions for the Wheeling Hall of Fame reads:

Rev. James A. O’Brien, S.J. • 1927 - • (Education and Religion) • One of eight children born to James and Julia O’Brien, he was ordained a priest in 1960. He earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Loyola University, Chicago. In 1962, the young and longest serving Jesuit priest arrived at Wheeling College to teach philosophy. The 1970s Appalachian Bishops Pastoral Letter served as a call to action for him. He organized the first Appalachian Experience Student Club in 1978 to help those in need in southern West Virginia. Father O’Brien is quoted saying, “There is a line in an old verse that says one should ‘live by the side of the road and be a friend to those who pass by.’ That’s what I’ve tried to do — be a faithful person to God and others.”

"Jim was the only inductee out of eleven given a standing ovation and it was before he even said a word. Which is because he has so many more afterdays (96 years worth) than the rest of us, they have miraculously transubstantiated into stem-cell-like beforedays." — Dr. Roger Morris, long-time friend and collaborator, in a conversation after attending Wheeling Hall of Fame induction celebration for Fr. Jim

"At that Hall of Fame ceremony, O’Brien challenged the audience at the end of each day to ask themselves not what they did, but why they did it.

'Why did I talk to the kids that way?” O’Brien said. “Why, as so many of my neighbors would do, when the husband of the family down the street would die suddenly, there would be four dinners on the back porch? How close was I to the purpose of my life? The purpose of all our lives is to grow.'"

—Jocelyn King, The Times Leader (27 December 2023)

This recording of myself and Sol Luckman of Sol Luckman Uncensored was made on 27 October 2023. (Power-learner tip: the complete file can be found on Sol's YouTube channel.) My goodness, but it stands the test of time. This is deep process for us. Keep tuning in for more segments here on this Intuitive Public Radio.

Sol Luckman: "That is a massive thread in my book and my subsequent work as well — this idea that since we're having radically different experiences of reality…the idea of right and wrong and truth and good and evil, all of these related concepts… have to be shelved in favor of a very plastic, elastic, malleable way of understanding each other to allow for people in a dialogic environment to be having different imagined experiences of reality where real things seem to be happening to them."

The stories embedded in our bodies, occurring in and around us, are intricate and infinitesimal. Our material reality is fundamentally changed by our perceptions of and stories about it.

Rigidity and implacability are part of a set of stories we've been entrained in our whole lives; different points of perception may radically contradict one another.

Even our most uniquely emergent languaging, disconnected from others' stories about what that particular languaging may otherwise mean, manifests powerful world-building effects — as we in the Intuitive network have found.

There is no norm for us all to agree on, Sol highlights — unless we're establishing it in (true) relationship with one another.

In this segment Sol shares more about his past experiences of complex severe illness. I also touch on the Intuitive network's many years of documentation by colleagues who have been sick or injured where no professional resource would or could assist — because of abuse, suffering, misinformation and cult influence found in professional environments. 

We discuss how devastating it is to professionals and to all other community members when miseducation in professional networks results in the erasure of the most vulnerable living beings in the community.

Professional networks need not inhibit ingenuity and innovative capacity. Likewise, there is no need for this kind of anti-life influence in any of our communities.

We want to nourish solutions to the challenges every one of us faces in maintaining vital imagination and individuality.

Consider the ways the world will change when all community members — including professionals — are supported in being their very best selves, in service to personal well-being, families thriving, and everyone around them.

Knowing the challenges we have all faced, and are now facing… how do we ensure our minds and creativity are our own?

How do we ensure our choices of vocational investment support us to be fully individuated in our personal and relational power, to the profound benefit of our families and communities?

How do we restore our most naturally unfolding processes — and successes?

Life energy itself is relational.

Let's be the life energy.

Thank you for joining us!

Marketing methodology for the economics of "how to do business" frequently harms, inhibits, and erases disabled community members who are most actively and effectively addressing issues necessary for the thriving of the whole community body (not only those with the privilege of seeming to benefit from modern business practices).

When our communities rightly want to receive the life-honoring nourishment survivors of these intersections bring to the community body, we choose to support one another in truly presenced relationship — well beyond the mainstream systems that have caused such problems to families and communities in the first place.

Projects that center this kind of relational integrity are profoundly worth funding, not only to assist where funds have fallen short, but to grow greater stronger root systems so that more of the people being supported through this work can also bring their gifts into community through economic exchange — and celebration of the abundance that results.

When the people whose expertise the world most needs are the very people experiencing harm from mainstream economic systems, we all must bring our best efforts to bear in raising up little known voices, fueling intersectionally revitalizing projects, and making sure that our community members doing this work can thrive in a natural system of true relationships.

We had a Intuitive project space for a long time, ages ago, that invoked the tricky territory of “handouts.” I’ve been trying to remember the title so that I could search for the archives.

Hardship & handouts? Hard times & handouts?

I think I’d have to search hard drives that aren’t currently accessible. (If you’d like to help us access some of those hard drives, read this page and reach out.)

One-sided arguments about what constitutes “handouts” seem to be popular in certain circles, but I and others have tended to find these arguments wanting for balance, clarity, and extended respectful dialogue.

There are many common privileges in a business landscape that can be thought of as “handouts"; and many forms of outreach for support that can be characterized as “seeking a handout.” Especially when a project is experiencing economic challenges and is much-needed by the community.

But the use of the word “handout” seems to operate primarily to dismiss the value of the people and projects asking to be supported.

In a world where trauma, disablement, and neurological injury are rampantly limiting many people’s cognitive functions for how to ask for economic flows to reach them and exchange with them, declaring something a “handout” would seem to serve mainly to suggest those people and projects are not already showing up with tremendous value for those around them and for those who might facilitate further exchange.

When we examine these situations more closely… we find out they are.

The value is there in abundance.

But can we recognize it?

Business people using the usual business approaches are receiving investments from colonial imperialist infrastructure all the time that are never recognized or framed as investments, but have significant financial and economic effects on the people who have access to them.

Those are not so often characterized as handouts, but they sure could be if we wanted to spend more time talking down to one another.

(Not the best use of our time, I think.)

When our communities are full of individuals and families who have not had the benefit of such investments… or who have been actively (or violently) disinvested by the establishment… it is on the community to make sure nutritive and life-giving projects thrive; to make sure we are in relationship with one another and not dismissing one another on the basis of the stark capitalist systems that have caused such extensive harm.

That's not a handout. It's common sense; it's respectful regard for the living beings in our community body; and it's fundamentally necessary to survival in this day and age.

If we really care about the survival of the whole community... and not just cut-throat competition that leaves destruction in its wake... that's what we do.

I do, and I know that many people here also do.

The language part of the brain is damaged when a person experiences trauma; even trauma that is not at that time recognizable or comprehensible to them or those around them.

Consistent relational integrity and steady rehabilitative resourcing are required for the repair of verbal and relational parts of the brain after the physical injury of traumatic experiences, visible or invisible.

This means that as language functions are progressively destroyed — by many forms of trauma, including the ubiquitous ambient neurotoxins and endocrine disruptors we are all daily swimming through — a person may have a more and more difficult time anchoring the verbal structures that allow them to speak with confidence and clarity about the value of their most meaningful work in the world.

They have not necessarily forgotten it.

They might know it in their bones.

But they’ve lost the ability to say it.

That neurology must be repaired in collaboration with the caring collective body.

Everything we do and understand, as verbal beings, is in some way verbally connected.

If we can’t say something, and no one will help us repair the parts of us that function to say what is true for us…

…we can start to lose our contact with it. Even if we knew it before.

If the traumatized person does not have steady rehabilitative resourcing or others around them to assist in relational neurological repair, including repair of those verbal structures…

…talking to them only in terms of the distastefulness of handouts, without anchoring the verbiage necessary to show the value of their life and work, literally programs them to think less of themselves, to expect less of themselves, and to despair about their value in the world.

When popular economic languaging erases the vocational strengths of emotional labor and basic relational integrity...

...thereby erasing the imperative relational functions of a living collective body...

...we lose sight of the diverse, massively impactful capacities of the people around us whose needs and experiences are not embraced by the popular economic languaging.

This hides layers of the economy — hides whole economies of invisible (mischaracterized, scapegoated, abandoned) people — from those who prioritize that languaging.

That’s when the problems compound. That’s when beautiful, loving, powerful people are destroyed and discarded.

Because they did their best in a challenging environment; and they were not recognized or included in belonging for the honorable vocations they were already inherently building for their families and communities.

I have a deep well of feelings about this.

(Maybe about everything right now? We could test it.)

I will sometimes use very different languaging to talk about these intersections. These past few days, this is how it flowed out of me. (Do feel free to mention your own insights about language-bridging in the comments.)

Part of what I'm noticing needs to be brought forward... from my camp, and from all who will collaborate in it with me... is to support and teach communities and leadership how to recognize the tremendous skill and worth of those who have been mischaracterized as wrong, bad, useless, confusing, weak, incapable, lost causes, bad at business, too much trouble, too far-gone for manageable assistance...

…because those are our neurologically-injured community members, companions in our interconnected ecosystems, to whom we have a collective responsibility as much as we have a responsibility to the living environments of the Earth that we honor and tend.

The problem is not in the living beings who are thought of this way. The problem… if there need be any problem at all, my beloved language co-creators!… is in the very restrictive languaging being used to describe what success is in the greater society.

It’s in the ways that “success” is popularly marketed, and in the ways communities are inculcated to believe in some kinds of success above all others.

It’s in the tangle where we’ve declared living beings as failures and cut them off from resource access, creating problems where there weren’t any before.

That greater society I mentioned is not as great a society as it can become; will become; and is indeed in the painful process of becoming.

We have a say in this. I say we change it.

Intuitive Network is in the business of revealing the amazing proficiencies developed by survivors of front-line trauma, violence, oppression, poisoning, malnourishment, and disablement.

Many people don't know how to read the signs of these proficiencies, how to interpret the languaging used by these survivors, or how to weave together the collaborative benefits of knowing and working with one another in such conditions.

Yet, we are all having to learn this.

We do it because it raises these hidden economies out of the depths, brings them forth from beyond the veil where they had been obscured from recognition.

And suddenly, in every community, in every family, for every project and for all our solutions implementations — we have immense collaborative and practical resourcing we had never realized or accounted for.

Do you see this?

Will you bring your strengths to the table, and work with us on it?

The world is a challenging place to be in.

Together, we rise fruitfully to these challenges.

That is a very big win, to me.

You make a tremendous difference in the lives of many others and increase our leverage in revitalizing all community bodies when you opt to become a paid subscriber in support of www.IntuitivePublicRadio.network on Substack.

Please consider a paid monthly, annual, or Intuitive Fund Builders’ subscription to ensure the exceptional work of these survivors’ cohorts continues to gain depth and breadth.

If you don’t have dollars available, we’ll provide you with a comp paid subscription in exchange for your engagement with our community spaces, practical resource donations, or sharing your own skills, strengths, and stories — supporting us in the ways that you find to be most nourishing to your own life and work; and receiving support from us in return.

Our successes are only possible because you care, because you strive, and because you bring your own crucial vitality into collaboration with us.

Thank you for being here. It matters.

I’ve been getting ready for this head bones re-alignment thing.

If you find me slow or missing from 5-8 November forward for some unknown amount of time, you’ll have a sense of why. Recovery will proceed, likely non-linearly, at whatever pace recovery proceeds. Please send prayers and visualizations of success.

Thank you, friends.

28 November 2023, I wrote…

I'm feeling a lot, and less verbal. Preparing for major shifts in the body; experiencing major shifts already.

Many threads... being woven into tapestries... and then these tapestries are woven into new tapestries... and those into new tapestries...

The physiology of the collective universe we are breathing, hearts-beating, living and traveling in.

Hey, we are all connected to one another — regardless of Internet devices! — and I sure do remember it in times like this.

I published on Facebook in the middle of the night, while navigating some physical pain. I have been thinking about the ways that whole platforms (or parts of platforms) can drop out of my bodybrain when the body is struggling to align resources; then regained much later, timing unknown, when the neurology has enough support to repair and resume those activities.

Usually what I need most for this function repair is for others to notice my absence and reach out to me; very common for people with intersectional trauma, neurological injury, and complex disability circumstances.

Still, many people don't realize how powerful the relational connection is; and everyone (I do think everyone) is experiencing more stress and hardship these days, even if it's not necessarily visible to others.

We are all striving through what we are striving through.

Very bravely.

Full Gemini Moon shining impossibly bright through my bedroom window.

Deep feelings in my body about what I sometimes can say, and sometimes cannot say.

The sense of the responses that are finally conveyed to the world outside my body, and the responses that live inside my body, that haven't yet found the conditions necessary for emerging.

A desire to extend truer attunement, practical support, love and care to people I haven't been able to form words for the way I've wanted.

The urge and activation towards social interactions that would need to take place on a particular electronic platform, if my body could do that, if my brain could think it...

...and while for whatever amount of time that isn't accessible, still, those relationships are dear to me.

And you who are reading.

I hope we will all find one another again.

The digital social spaces fake a kind of relationality that isn't really happening the way it might seem to do.

The machine may read me as seeing something or make it seem like I should have seen something.

But that doesn't make me able or sure to see it, to recall or be able to think it in the midst of challenges, or to track my interactions beyond faint impressions and fleeting connectivity and momentary miracles.

I am grateful for the miracles.

I flow or hop from space to space, platform to platform, to see which of my neural sets have greatest ease of function.

Sometimes the answer is none. Sometimes some.

Often unexpected outcomes.

I wonder a lot what my world will be like once we move my displaced head bones into alignment.

I'm not assuming anything.

But I am drawn to adventuring.

Miracles do have a certain compelling precedent. 🥰

The post I made is here. Come find me.

Days 38 through 47; November 21st through 30th.

The moon is bright, shining through my bedroom window — as it has been for quite a few days now. She is in Cancer until tomorrow in the late morning.

I have a series of writing projects that have advanced forward.

I suspect they will be shared here. And at the same time, I wonder a lot... what the best way to share them can be.

I'm turning off the light again.

It's still very dark at 06:34 AM.

And so the moon, like a spotlight still — how many days after full? — is a very bright light.

In the writing projects that will be unfolding, we are discussing the challenges of modern business practices... and how important it is to bring awareness of the entire community body, of the entire ecosystem in which we are living and being, in order to balance in relational integrity.

We have such opportunities to care for one another.

The suffering that people experience without being able to connect with others, without being able to say what's happening... for fear of rejection, for fear that they will be cut off from contact, excluded from the community body... this is a very real danger, especially for those who have encountered extremity.

The messages that people receive typically, in most communities, is that their whole selves are not welcome; and whatever they may be struggling through, they had better err on the side of protecting others from it — even if that means foregoing their own stabilization and recovery.

Community bodies have been acculturated against creating legitimate resources for these situations.

Most people, most of the time, are not able to handle the conversation...

...which means that most communities, most of the time, are living in dissociative denial about what's happening right in their midst and around each and every member of that community. Witting or unwitting.

This is a hard circumstance to be navigating.

People who are aware of it feel very alone.

It is very isolating to experience these things.

Part of what causes it are the modes of business and economics that have been popularized over the generations.

So we adapt our practices.

We make significant changes to how we do business.

One of the reasons we've been so drawn to the work of Mark Silver and the Heart of Business is because of the ways that he addresses these problems in his work inherently.

There are other communities discussing business and economics that we have found ourselves drawn to; and there are some complex conversations occurring.

And yet we still have this particular challenge.

How do we show up as who we are?

How do we tell the truth about what's going on?

How do we present a gentle, easing introduction to subject intersections that most people really need a very slow and gradual and patient entry for... when what's happening in our communities, to our families, to our individual bodies is not patient or easy?

It requires the utmost courage and resilience to survive.

It is a continuous navigating of traumatic experience that is beyond anyone's capacity — such that even with the amazing strengths that emerge in survivors who are continuously encountering these kinds of adversity, the body's ability to communicate about it really changes.

One can pretend and perform... for a long time... before realizing that when one may have an opportunity to communicate more deeply, more forthrightly, about what's happening, there is such a danger that those communications will spill over...

...and overwhelm or short the circuitry of another person who has shown up with a true desire to be supportive, to find ways to help; who authentically desires relationship even with those who have experienced tremendous adversity; but also may not have any clue what that set of experiences really means.

And so how do we give one another opportunities to connect to this...

...in small peaces...

...without ourselves coming to pieces?

The trouble is where you cannot yet interface fully respectfully and responsibly — with care for living beings — at the subject intersection of the problem you're experiencing.

The problem is not the terrible, scary, evil people doing the bad, violent things.

The problem is where you're not yet able to communicate with energetic diplomacy in order to learn from... and share resources with... people who have completely different experiences about scary, violent problems we wish to alleviate.

The problem is not about whether sex trafficking survivors are telling you the truth about the things they've experienced.

The important part is whether you can recognize someone else as having had a wildly different experience than you've had... and still being able to respect them, treat them with patience and kindness, and learn from one another — because we are all here together in the body of existence.

The problem is not about what we think is fact or what we think is reality.

The problem is we haven't mended, yet, our most honorable communication strategies.

When we do that, reality changes.

And so does fact.

There are lists of things they cannot do.

Intuitive Infrastructure and Intuitive Toolsets leverage the power of attuned relationship.

Where one of us cannot do a particular thing, someone else nearby maybe can.

We prioritize together the sharing of everyday stories... so that, supported by relationships in the community, we can all become more known to one another, even in circumstances of extreme hardship and debility.

We recognize how significantly we have succeeded already, because we've done what must be done… with too few hands and hearts present.

The more people who practice Intuitive Toolsets in the environments we have strengthened with Intuitive Infrastructure, the more we discover the antidote to socially-induced disability — truly, the only form of disability.

We know and care for the community body and all of the living beings who are part of that complex ecosystem.

We practice Intuitive Toolsets by noticing what emerges in our experiencing and our moment-to-moment solutions implementation.

What do you notice that bears repeating?

What process fits perfectly into a variety of different situations, and performs helpfully for you when invoked?

These are sigils that we are making in the world through our words and imaging; through our intentional, imaginal manifestationing.

It may seem like a sentence, but it's an incantation.

This Intuitive toolset I notice now in the present can be described thusly.

Here we call the making of Intuitive toolsets.

We construct them.

They form from the stuff of the universe as we put our focus on them... and recognize what we achieve when we practice them; every day; every minute, maybe.

What is the value of this to people who aren't yet able to communicate with us?

You who are listening will always have opportunities to build bridges between the Intuitive network and the people in your midst who really need the support of the Intuitive network.

That's something we're all working on together, expanding our reach so that practical resourcing and relational resourcing are both fully accessible to survivors of the most severe disabilities; survivors of invisible violence; survivors of long-term extremity.

This stops sex trafficking.

You got that part, right?

(Should I say it again?)

What do we do in these small gatherings?

We have been engaging a prodigious set of Intuitive toolsets privately; meeting a few days for every seven; noticing in what ways our bodies are most profoundly supported by this form of connection; recognizing the vital life energy that is at the core of each self, of each individual body, and also each collective body.

How are we tending to the family that is our ecosystem?

How are we tending to our physiological relationships with the beings around us who our bodies encompass inherently?

We are all part of one another, whether or not we happen to have noticed.

Intuitive Public — Family Council — Prowess Theurgy is now a sigil, a process that we engage to locate ourselves most powerfully; to bring support and nourishment to one another; to strengthen our efforts individually and collectively.

As we are increasingly verbalizing this magical, wondrous thing...

...we are also issuing invitations to you and your loved ones, colleagues, and dearest collaborators...

...to join us in this; perhaps privately, perhaps publicly…

…engaging a form of relaxed recording, where we don't know what we're going to share; but we decide together after we move through the experience.

And we consider what peaces may be most useful, applicable, relevant, and supportive to others engaging with some part of that recording.

I have been astonished by the outcomes from this practice.

I have experienced clarity returning to me as a result of Intuitive toolsets and the ways we connect with one another most authentically in our attuned presencing, fomenting relational integrity, growing our collaborative fluency.

The power flow that occurs when we connect these organic living conduits is such an experience; it does defy verbalization until we've found, suddenly, unexpectedly, that we have begun to verbalize it.

Do follow along...

...and watch for our invitations.

We'd love for you to join us.

Oh, feeling state.

Oh, dream travel.

Where am I located?

A book of my previous acquaintance was recently brought again to my attention. I had not thought about it in many years.

The book is called Cool Tools by Kevin Kelly; A Catalog of Possibilities.

As I began to look at the table of contents... the prodigious list of life affirming topics...

...I began to experience the welling up of grief...

...and celebration...

...the simultaneous activation of profound love and care...

...and precision of warriorship; rising to the needs of my community body; waking in my somatic vehicle, ready to take action.

And all around and about me, the sense of weeping.

What are these feelings?

How shall I process them?

What do I want to tell you about them?

My experience and the experience of my colleagues has been that we were engaged with communities that valued living close to the earth.

Making things with our hands.

Building the meeting of our needs in enjoyable, illuminating crafts... projects with moving pieces... experiencing the beautiful, relational, neural growth that comes with sharing meaningful goals with one another and working to achieve them.

Not only in the abstract, but directly in a community environment.

An environment where we are tending the community body.

Where we are recognizing the purpose and power of sharing our lives together.

And then, my experience... and my colleagues' experience...

...was that...

...as successful as we were in navigating this beautiful landscape I'm describing...

...we came to be targeted by predatory influences that saw us as an opportunity for commoditization and extraction.

So that the world around us and in our bodies — our individual bodies, our family bodies, our community bodies — descended into a violent hellscape of chaos that we are only now beginning to story-tell our way out of.

The ways that my family and community bodies have been struck down from the life-affirming collaborative activities we prioritized previously...

...have resulted in a circumstance of severely compounded, long-term neurological injury and many other injuries of physical bodies...

...that has radically changed which of these life-affirming activities we can even reach.

The way this has occurred has facilitated so much unexpected invisibility; so much misunderstood disablement;... that even just communicating about what has happened becomes a ponderous and uncertain thing.

Where the invisibility has been eased in without us realizing; eviscerating all that was easy, except perhaps the ease by which influences predatory have taken advantage of that hellscape chaos so that they could have their preferred practical and economic resourcing.

Financial, yes, and also — the life force of the bodies who, instead of being in contact with one another, instead of fomenting gorgeous thriving with one another, now find themselves sucked dry of the sacred energies that make us all alive.

How could this be occurring?

What exactly is happening?

Many do not know, cannot recognize.

I and my colleagues, fortunate to have found ways to exchange information, to compare notes, and to document these strange, confrontive situations... we see the complex intersections in intricate detail…

…much like Kevin Kelly documented these beautiful solutions in Cool Tools.

Except we are moving through the experiences of such extreme traumatization... having tried to communicate what it is that happened...

…and encountering over and over and over, endlessly, for many, many years...

...the blocks to our necessary conversations.

The trauma trigger activations that have been installed in family and community bodies to prevent those conversations from occurring.

Because what a survivor of violence says to you cannot possibly be true.

They must be mistaken, or crazy, or lying... or seeking to manipulate you.

And so how do we come to terms with the origins of the information economy? Those who recognized the natural strength and vitality in sharing with one another? Songs and stories... experiencings... the nutrients of being directly engaged in contact with the living world? Homesteading? Raising strong, vibrant families?

Caring for children?

Listening to and respecting children?

Caring for our elders? Listening to, learning from, and respecting them profoundly for what they have come to know over the course of lives lived longer than ours?

What are the lessons we've come to know so well... that others do not yet know at all?

And how can we share with one another most fruitfully?

How do we learn from one another's most challenging experiences?

Do we receive communications that are most expressly important to the life of the community body?

Or do we stop them from being received?

Kevin Kelly's book is such a celebration of nutritive information.

And yet, my communities... the communities that celebrated these things... were stopped from such life-affirming activities. They still occur in pockets; but it is not what it was.

Many of us have had our lives and work decimated by the commoditizing predatory influences we seek to describe and pray that someone will hear and understand us.

I'm very grateful to Kevin Kelly for publishing this book.

I am grateful to the colleague who brought it again to my attention after so many years of wilderness traveling.

What do I do with this part of the story?

What next page am I writing?

Soon, somehow, we must come to terms with what has happened.

It requires us to open our hearts to those who speak very different languages.

It requires us to open our hearts to release fear, and let ease the threat response that has been acculturated in us to distrust one another, to imagine ill of one another... when we cannot know one another based on snapshots or hearsay.

We must know one another in attuned, presencing relationship; the continuing forward of learning one another's much more unique languages than we realized previously, especially in brains where verbal centers have been so extensively affected by traumatic experiencing.

Can we know one another again?

Can we come into the world we were building then?

Can our loving efforts build and build around us? Growing food. The Earth offering us her medicine. The medicine of our relationships with one another — so potent.

We shall not set it aside.

We shall not permit fear to deter us.

Our vocational recovery depends on this.

The lives of our family and community bodies depend on this.

How successfully can we now meet this challenge?

by Megan M. (t.me/maxmorris)

A) I provide a verbal ongoing account of everything I'm encountering within some unique, non-linear, tem-por-ially emergent time frame

B) YOu send your recordings for me to intersperse into my days and respond to on the open line

Ready?… …Set… —

Q) where do we send things?

A) share your premium community shares as some form of media contribution for me to encounter and discuss (plainly or creatively or in dream traveling) on the open line — in public (🔊) broadcasts on multiple platforms.

Your share might be curious, questioning, innovative, theatrically expressive, resource coordinating, respect-oriented dialogue, top mastery communications supportiveness, art, music, storytelling, life honoring nourishment.

Even better, tell me what it is and what it means to you.

Put your links, pieces of text, conversational contributions, artful images, audio and video files directly in our public chats (🔊).

(T.me/CommunityIPR is a great first step if you're choosing a space.)

Include a note from yourself about your contribution.

Include credits for items you share whenever you know them (or mark credit unknown).

When you share these media offerings with us directly in our public chats (🔊), I and others can understand quickly that it's acceptable for us to publicly reshare them and talk about them openly.

You're on the open line.

Q) but I already sent you something you didn't respond to!

A) I am in gradual+intensive recovery from experiences of extreme violence that left me with long-term compounded neurological injuries.

Knowing me is a unanticipatable theurgy of depth and substance found nowhere else in the cosmos.

I hope you will bring up your share again and look for ways to support me in being able to communicate with you.

Neurological repair collaborations are my favorite.

Q) How can I most helpfully ask questions about how this works?

A) Ask directly (with patience, care, and respect) in our public Telegram chats (🔊) (or in the comments of this post on Substack IPR) and whoever may become available can help out answering your questions.

Q) how can I support you?

A) join this adventurers' quest

[00:00:14] ...in a way that makes sense to others...

[00:00:18] ...that is not unduly confusing...

[00:00:21] ...that does not create tangles for more people in addition to me.

[00:00:30] And then I realized that I had gone past the decision making part. I had already done it in the way that it would need to be done.

[00:00:42] But my brain had not quite caught up.

[00:00:50] So how does this work, Publish Cue?

[00:00:53] Part 1 is a numbered episode...

[00:01:00] ...then followed up by other numbered episodes.

[00:01:04] Part 2 is another different numbered episode, but it still refers to Part 1...

[00:01:13] ...so that people can see the release of this number, the release of this number, the release of this number, the release of this number...

[00:01:22] These are all parts of the same conversation; something I will have to indicate clearly.

[00:01:32] And can I do it this way?

[00:01:36] I think it's the only way that makes sense to the brain.

[00:01:42] And yet, the brain could not think it until perhaps this morning.

[00:01:51] It's been coming to me in fleeting visions.

[00:01:55] My body has reached for the conclusion... the understanding... the comprehension... and not quite had it.

[00:02:08] Ultimately, what needs to happen is that we publish the way we publish.

[00:02:18] We don't want to spend additional energy contriving things.

[00:02:26] We wish to be understood.

[00:02:28] I wish to be understood.

[00:02:32] The consequences of not being understood have been very difficult and painful... for me and for many.

[00:02:41] And yet...

[00:02:45] We must be who we are in every moment.

[00:02:50] And if there is violence... if there is aggression occurring... that stops us from being who we are in every moment... that might be worth mentioning.

[00:03:12] If for no other reason than to have the collective cognitive capacity to think through that situation.

[00:03:23] And address it most successfully.

It is sure spot-on.

Revitalize collective resilience through relational integrity. Celebrate communities flourishing by meeting our greatest challenges with care and courage.

Still, there’s more to our communications about the Intuitive network that need to be simmered in; slowly, gently stirred; infused with prayers and song; loved, enjoyed, and entered into the family recipe book.

In addition to the message above, what are our most simple, direct, short-form introductions to the tremendous, multi-faceted vitality of the Intuitive Public Radio Network?

In each new flow, there are poignant opportunities.

For years of working toward succinctness on this most challenging of subjects — my skills at succinctness having been radically interrupted by injury conditions — I have identified some different possible approaches to this very question.

I can say it outright, in plain language that shows (or attempts to show) the vivid complexity of what we have on offer.

This means saying it in many different ways, depending on who I’m engaging with — because our offerings can be quite different for different people and organizations.

One might be:

Intuitive Network bridges diverse lived experiences to facilitate meaningful dialogue and attuned relational integrity, improving life and work for all participants.

Our process and infrastructure empower transformative collaborations, deepen social fabric, and regenerate nourishment while strengthening families and communities.

Here is another:

Intuitive Network activates expanded creativity, enhanced learning experiences, supercharged healing, and previously unforeseen vocational proficiencies.

Our approaches to recovery from severe, long-term trauma and physical disabilities increase capacities for individuals, families, and the whole community.

And, starkly:

Intuitive Network coordinates care, situational solutions, and life-long relationship-building for severely disabled survivors of invisible violence who could not find help anywhere else.

Our communications toolsets and community infrastructure promote deep-seated well-being, eliminate human trafficking pathways, and facilitate vocational recoveries toward professional income-generating platforms for survivors who were otherwise abandoned and excluded from society.

This is just three more; but it might go on and on.

There are many of us working on this (most very severely disabled), striving toward effective communications; and a large number of smaller individual projects to feature.

Our diverse interactions with individuals — all with the necessity of direct, most personally-relevant languaging — can have a great deal of depth and intricacy.

But I have noticed that a way I and others have especially longed to introduce our work seems to be another thing entirely.

What I really want, most of the time, is to herald the storybeing.

Blessings, storybeing! I see you there.

Do you see me?

Intuitive Network is a story in which — even now — you are participating.

   What part of the story would you like to write today?

Ahh. Yes. That’s a relief.

That’s what I wanted to say, really.

Thank you, all you friends and collaborators who are with us — writing this story.

What tiny fractions will I report from my profound experiences? I cannot possibly verbalize them all.

What snippets will you get?

This is bibliaugury, too; which page of the book of my living-beingness will I finally share in the very small opportunities that present themselves, in the great ocean of experiencing I am dancing and flowing with?

I can’t even predict.

The choices we make are not only the choices we make; they are everything else that happens around and because of the choices we make.

I’m here. I exist.

I resonate.

Day 32 • 15 November 2023

Interlude.

Don’t push, I let flow through me.

What do you mean, don’t push? some rigid, long-contorted, bruised and aching parts of my body ask.

Days 33-34 • 16-17 November 2023

When striving too diligently, rigor can rancor.

We can tell ourselves, I should — should — should be able to do it, and yearn for force to achieve what nourishment and somatic presencing should have facilitated. That is, if nourishment and somatic presencing had been available when we most needed them.

But there’s no time like the present for somatics, even long-supplanted by stressors beyond our control.

Day 35 • 18 November 2023

It is only in relational integrity with the body… removing force from our relationships with others, yes, and also from our relationships with ourselves… we accomplish the goal.

In truth, I had already written dozens of forms of what I had been striving toward.

The complexities and physical realities of moving towards the peak of events now beginning to unfold had been occupying my every mote and moment.

Day 36 • 19 November 2023

How is it synthesized?

What does one bit have to do with another bit?

And what do head injuries have to do with any of it?

Day 37 • 20 November 2023

I sit down to type, and Venus scintillates in the night sky south-east. She whispers me a greeting and arouses questions in me. I remember my breathing.

In the nearly-here early days of December 2023, we will initiate a momentous process — a series of serious procedures — to remedy this past decade’s collections of blunt force head injuries and neurological poisonings.

Some number of concussions (it’s tricky to count them, after the first three) have significantly shifted the bones of my head, profoundly affecting glial function and altering the body’s detoxification pathways — making my brain too easy to poison; causing all manner of other challenges.

Discovering this was a great blessing. Endeavoring to reach an accessible solution has been many, many months (many years) in the making.

Innumerable others never even had the chance to recognize their own concussive injuries; but I am abundantly lucky.

Once we move my head bones back into place… and travel through recovery… what, I wonder, will be more easy?

What will I understand differently?

How will I find my capacities transmuting?

Venus is rising and rising.

I think I hear her singing.

…but they may not realize it.

What they do tend to notice is that everything feels more difficult… and often, they’re not sure what to do about it.

Essentially, they are losing parts of the community body.

This causes confusion, dissociation, and stress.

We can relieve much of those difficulties by building bridges.

When we build bridges between individuals experiencing intersectional hardships and the greater community, many problems that before seemed sticky or impossible can be solved swiftly and easily.

Likewise, even the more difficult problems become rewarding challenges we can rise to and learn from together, growing our collaborative strength, actionable solutions, and personal know-how.

This bridge-building facilitates shared wisdom, connects families with needed resourcing, generates powerful collective capacity, and prevents more hardships from occurring (or compounding) — which in turn serves to stabilize all parties against the effects of current or potential adversity.

Articulating and sharing lived expertise allows us to learn from and collaborate with one another more effectively, especially when many of us have faced hardships that could make our most compelling proficiencies invisible or inaccessible to others.

Communication, trust-building, and cooperation are deeply important to our ability to build positive relationships and address societal challenges. These also directly alleviate the alienation and lack of connection that is unfortunately widespread in society.

Meaningful engagement between living beings brings bountiful benefits, especially when we ensure inclusive, life-honoring, respect-oriented opportunities.

For survivors of invisibly violent intersections,

* Project collaborations and solutions implementation are completed and made fruitful in ways that are only possible when people with a wide range of unique strengths coordinate together.

* A positive impact is made on all healing processes. For instance: Neurological repair, physical repair, and trauma recovery are most possible (truly miraculous) in the context of a caring, respectful collective body.

* Vocational recovery brings survivors’ strengths into service to the greater community and increases economic vitality, where otherwise those strengths would be lost.

For community members fortunate to be protected from extremity,

* Previously unforeseen difficulties can be planned for and addressed more quickly when and if they arise — both in terms of personal challenges and the challenges encountered by loved ones. Incorporating increased understanding with severely affected community members allows for the exchange of stories, wisdom, knowledge, and skillsets that are otherwise erased from community spaces and initiatives.

* We experience added richness and improved ability to articulate our own or others’ lived expertise from a place of greater stability, which expands influence, collaboratorship, spiritual depth, and practical resourcing.

* This is a rare set of intersections that most people outside them are still not directly familiar with, which means that social currency, income generation, and wealth-building for participants and in the community both benefit significantly.

For all participating,

* We foster understanding, interconnectivity, and personal & collective growth.

* Attuned, participatory relationships lead to transformative experiences as well as enhanced personal and collective outcomes.

* Learning (or re-learning) how to express oneself improves success in healthy relationship-building, as well as many other facets of life and work.

Building and deepening the social fabric enriches all our lives, co-creations, and future unfoldings.

With special thanks to Johanna O’Tigham and to all those who have been continuing this important set of conversations with me.

I wrote the following response.

My work is in bridging between communities and community members who are hidden from view because of intersectional hardship.

For those in hardship, this connects them with people who want to know, understand, and collaborate fruitfully with them.

For those who aren’t experiencing the same hardship intersections, this brings valuable knowledge and lived expertise into their world — because it is our relationships with those who have overcome great adversity that allow us to learn to prevent unnecessary suffering in or around our community spaces;…

…the same way it is valuable to know and honor our elders;…

…the same way it is valuable to coordinate pre-emptive solutions so that we need not experience compounded extremity before we take action…

…to ensure safety, kindness, health, and well-being in our communities.

This work necessarily centers relational integrity and forthright communications as a means of beginning to bridge diverse forms of languaging. I am certainly finding it to resonate considerably with the fir tree theme. (Unexpected bonus.)

This is a set of connection points that has stabilized our ability to coordinate solutions and collaborative resourcing with severely disabled community members; survivors of violence; those who have experienced neurological injury; our friends and loved ones encountering wartime circumstances; those in poverty; and many others who can become invisible to the communities around them because of their difficulty communicating what they’re experiencing.

Future flow (a flow from the future! on 21 November 2023)…

I went searching for a good link to hat-tip Scott Perry, whose insight has been instrumental for my process in developing the above conversation — a conversation that has continued and expanded in wonderful ways. (I’ll share more in subsequent posts here at IPR.)

What I found when I went searching for that link was a more recent post that Scott made on his Substack about First Principles Thinking, of which I am especially fond.

I feel moved to include a particularly relevant quote from his post here on this page:

“The fact that no one wins alone is one of the least recognized first principles in today’s disconnected, lonely, and cynical landscape.”

Hear, hear.

Let’s keep going.

Much of my reflections are only partly verbal, or maybe pre-verbal…

…but wow, fires are stoking.

(Future flow: I wrote a Substack Note about this several days later, after I had begun this draft and day’s notes. I was moved — again — by one of Charlotte’s more recent pieces at The Charlotte Pendragon Diaries. Particular appreciations spilled out of me, joy and meaning. These thoughts have advanced further since 12 November, and I’d like to make sure to include some of that here. Please do take a minute to read my Note from 18 November.)

I first browsed Charlotte’s work when I discovered The Tao of the Pendragons (Part One, Part Two), and had a beautiful set of shocks… the healing kind… where dormant, long-injured neurology woke up.

I will talk about this more, going forward.

But for now, I want to bring in a few special threads that interconnect with our survivors’ intersections and that we find very nourishing to dwell on, enjoying the story elements and realizations together:

Discussions of precision health and body-building that have offered us intriguing resonance for our strategies toward physical rehabilitation;…

…methods of music in magic, cosmic vibrations & entertainment acumen;…

…Charlotte’s recounting of her command performance for the Queen;…

…and her tale entitled Something Wicked This Way Comes, an important and poignant recognition of the ways that embedded violence can travel, hidden in plain sight, in social spaces.

Gratitude to Charlotte Pendragon for the stories she is sharing here on Substack.

The day we recorded this was Wind 1 Wind, in the way we refer to the Mayan Tzolk'in in our Intuitive groups, Star Clock and Intuitive Social Calendar… and today, unexpectedly, is 8 Wind in the trecena called Eagle or Birds. It's a special kind of cycle, that 20 days between numbers 1 and 8. And it's birdsong communications again!

In this first half hour of our conversation, Sol Luckman and I delve into the importance of language in neuroplasticity and neurological repair.

Language creates reality; verbal expressions and dialogue (with ourselves, with one another, and with the universe) make material changes in our bodies and the world around us. 

Sol mentions Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of the Dialogic Imagination, which emphasizes the role of language in imagining and creating the world.

Language as a tool for individuation is especially relevant in the midst of a society that values controllable individuals and seems inclined to use our own powers for others' ends if we don't recognize our own powers for ourselves.

We talk about singing together to heal together and the making of sacred sounds that heal the body — as in the Regenetics method developed by Sol and Leigh Luckman. 

This is about language, yes, but also about sounds.

Sol reads a wonderful set of quotes from Ken Carey's Starseed: The Third Millennium, part of which he has included on this page at the Phoenix Center for Regenetics: 

"When you love fully, without reservation, you feel, sense, and move within love’s rhythmic current. The definition songs that pulse through your soul are free to call out the excellence of your surroundings. As you allow love to flow out from within you, you will remember things that you had forgotten about these physical realms.

You will remember that everything has a soul song that is at once its definition and its expression. You will recognize all that lives in this blessed biosphere ... as objectifications of your own melodies, and consciously then you will sing the Songs of Distinction, the songs that call forth all that appears in this planetary environment.

A sculptor can always use hammer and chisel, but if she can sing the right songs, the songs that speak the true names, the songs that go to the very heart of the matter with which she works, she can inspire that matter to participate intelligently in its own development and re-creation."

and,

“When you perceive conceptions ... of yet unmanifest physical possibilities, you will be able ... to guide the molecular flow of appropriate substance into those designs ... Awakened, you know your human circuitry for what it is, a system of empathy, representation, and creation, designed to regulate and evoke biology."

I bring back the memory of an album I was introduced to through a conversation Sol and Leigh shared on their Porch Musings broadcast back in March — which I had misplaced the name of, and Sol reminds me that it's Gil e Jorge, an impromptu album recorded in 1975 by Gilberto Gil and Jorge Ben, many tracks of which are found here on YouTube. 

There's much more just in this first segment: How we reclaim personal power and find community support for individual growth; how to break free of cult-like structures embedded in society such as in professional networks and academia; knowing language and dialogue shapes reality, how we navigate conflicting experiences and narratives; the importance of personal power, and the difficulties faced if we dissociate from those in need.

We can reclaim our power as individuals and in collaboration with one another; we can engage in meaningful, generative dialogue that helps us to navigate the complexities of the modern world.

We can protect our energy and coordinate respectfully with one another.

We can move through even the most challenging conversations; and we can walk away from needless conflict, re-focusing ourselves on creative and productive endeavors instead.

This is an amazing conversation.

Thea Fast has spent 60 years with nature; 55 years with horses, 40 years with youth and self development, 30 years since university, and 20 years with Equine Facilitated Wellness (humanbeherd.com). Her newest endeavors are "Moved By Nature," somatic stretch toward dialoguing in relationship with body through sensation — as a stand-alone practice, or to take into other relational practices with animals. She centers Sharing Power with Nature and Loving Ourselves, Together. 

I'd like to introduce you to Thea Fast, a dear colleague who does some of the most wonderful work in relational connectivity, power dynamics, and somatic practice I have been privileged to encounter. 

As we've been getting to know one another in the Intuitive community network and as part of our group projects with Intuitive Prowess, Thea's anchoring of intuitive sensing modalities has become a powerful part of our day-to-day dialogue and practice — and really, we've only just gotten started. 

The field is wide and deep. Our continuing explorations hold great promise for interconnection, stabilization, and the recoveries of our physical bodies and of our communities. 

Prior to this short broadcast via Intuitive Public TV, Thea and I and group members of Intuitive Prowess have been engaging with the nutritive possibilities inherent in our practice of power flow and our recognition of what "healthy dominance" can be in a world filled too-full with unhealthy dominance (and unhealthy submission) patterns. 

In this video, we're discussing our experiences with communication, assertiveness, power dynamics, and the importance of balance and harmony in relationships. 

Thea also discusses the importance of meeting others where they are and not forcing things upon them — at the same time as engaging a practice of being more active in our relationships, communicating our needs and asking for what we want, so that we are not simply victims of our interactions. 

Honorably engaged power dynamics can balance ecosystems, cycling the currency of mutually-respectful relationship.

How do we assert ourselves, stand up for our needs, and at the same time care for one another in growing, strengthening, living relationships? 

How do we step in and lead for our own well-being — and the well-being of all?

As we continue these dialogues together, you are invited to join us, follow along, and be part of the conversation as we bring in all our answers to these questions.

In my awareness and experience, there are many kinds of witches, not only of a single spelling either; a broad metaphysical territory where a lot goes on and discernments are necessary.

I deeply appreciate nature-honoring spiritualities and practices that connect us with our world bodies as well as our non physical bodies... our individual human bodies... our ecosystem bodies, made up of so many different living beings... our cosmic bodies, compartments moving through the universe, resonating all the material and all the space between.

Because of my position at the intersection of many goings-on and documentations in the Intuitive network, many facets of experience and perception, I must have a strong practice of awareness that these friends and colleagues may feel uncomfortable with a particular conversation that may be utterly necessary to the safety of these other friends and colleagues; and it is not so simple as a binary.

When we delve into metaphysical subjects, we are courting some manner of uncertainty because of the many and varied languages spoken by members of our networked communities.

Witchery is certainly a set of distributed conversations that can sometimes be very challenging, just as many other topics can be especially challenging, because of where bad behavior has traumatized people who want to be safe and well and live their lives — but may speak very different languages than others. 

Part of what we are doing in the Intuitive network is being sure to record, to document, our experiences of where perpetrator networks have been active because this is a means of preventing violence.

With all this considered, my ways of navigating the words I use is still really evolving. 

We must be able to express what we're processing.

We don't always have the capacity to speak what we must speak in a very specific language. 

Sometimes, the language we must speak is the language that has grown in our neurology. 

And so to express it helps us to connect it with other forms of languaging we might employ; but that requires relational neurological recovery for many, many, many of my colleagues. 

And also for me.

When we bridge the languages of our experiencing, this expands our opportunities to co-create and collaboratively comprehend the world we're all in; the spaces we are sharing; the resonances we have in common; the insights we gain from noticing our differences.

This gives us wonderful ways of practicing patience and respect for those who are different.

When we broaden and deepen our language bridging together, we are able to think and feel in more intricate detail. 

We are able to make much better discernments than before, because our neurology grows subtlety.

Without this, we may look at a situation and have an overly simplistic impression of it that would not allow us to choose well in regards to it.

Many of us have had the experience of making mistakes because we did not fully enough understand what or whom we were engaging with. 

What has often, to many, felt like the necessary or only decision to cut off contact and run away... really has limited efficacy, limited application, because it can't solve all our problems — although it can seem to temporarily.

I personally practice language bridging that allows me to better understand any adversary; that someone with a very different life and a very different world may, in fact, have many similarities with me that I wouldn't understand from a snapshot of their communications or behavior; that I could only come to understand in respectful dialogue in a continuing relational context. 

If that relational context is missing, I cannot say that I know that person. I cannot say that I know or understand a particular thing if my contact is so limited.

This New Moon in Scorpio, we are in a time where the world is so deep, complex, and vast... we cannot know all manner of things.

What we choose to learn matters tremendously to how we're able to navigate our experiential complexities.

I have been processing a number of different fears and tensions in my body... at the same time as I recognize and experience how my communities are processing fears and tensions in the collective body.

Having found myself at the time of this new year, Lunar Samhain, it feels to me a perfect time to feel more of my own experiencing.

To feel how profoundly the well-being of my body... and of my collective bodies... matters to me.

To feel the importance of relationship in my world... especially considering all I've come through in order to be where I seem to be... today, November 13th, 2023.

In the Mayan Tzolk'in, I am taught, today is 5 Storm there is an activated cleansing associated with this day for the daykeepers I have studied.

And yesterday, 4 Obsidian, invoked reflectivity and cutting; discernments we find to be most necessary...

...stabilizing in the context of the Eagle trecena; farsight, abundance, generosity; in studies of Druidry, the bird of prey that flies high and fast — and then — may suddenly dive and plunge into the heart of a very still, peaceful lake... 

...where our experience of intensity and activity can in a moment become serenity and tranquility... that we can be nourished by these meditative qualities. 

That we can contemplate our experiencing from a very different perspective than we had moments previously.

I think of symbology that has been offered me about Obsidian and Storm, having to do with surgery and cleansing to facilitate healing.

I do notice that the cutting of necessary discernments allows us to wash away what is not needed, as we have been doing in the waning part of the moon cycle leading up to the New Moon in Scorpio of this early morning; knowing that we're traveling toward 6 Sun, which we count to begin later this evening... 7 Water Lily the following day... and 8 Wind, the breath of life, winds of change and communication, movement, comprehension.

I've heard that we are traveling towards the 17th November, a Mars cazimi where Mars conjoins the Sun and highlights the primacy of the physical body, our capacity for action, the realness and vividness of somatic presencing, the power of choice exercised in what we do and what we build; not inconsequentially, our sense of aggression, war, and violence; how a body can be most active, assertive, and yet be using one's strength to support respect and peacefulness. One's resilience; stamina; endurance applied directly to what best tends the needs of the community body in health and vitality, in regeneration of physical energy; of full attunement in the sacred vehicle that is the living body. 

9 Night, Dark House Before Dawning, is the birthday of a beloved colleague of mine.

That day, the 17th of November, is the day of the Mars cazimi, Mars conjoined with the Sun. 

I think of my friend's qualities in this context, because that is part of the space-scape of experiencing for me.

I think of the gentleness and kindness she brings into the world. I think of how powerfully she nourishes connectivity. 

I recognize this also as a set of qualities valuable in considering Mars energy, even though they're not necessarily what we hear most frequently. 

I often feel that no thing in the universe is only what it seems to be. 

All things are combinations of elements based on the relationships all around them. 

The way that we are has a lot to do with the conditions we're experiencing; with the communications that are necessary for thriving.

What forms of sacred action... and energy... and physicality... are highlighted by this cazimi? 

What is the vitality that we feel utmost resonance in activating?

How does the Eagle emerge from the depths of the lake that is so peaceful and tranquil, the meditative state?

How does she dry her feathers, and soar once more, very high, to see so far?

That Night-Dark House Before Dawning, with the number 9, that feminine energy, is a kind of seed-before-sprouting... full of potential, brimming over with possibility.

How our abundance unfolds from here has a lot to do with our choicefulness, our action as individuals and together.

There is a beautiful fire flowing in this water — a powerful life energy that our presencing anchors into the future we are becoming.

The Eagle nahual, with daykeepers I have studied, is also referred to as Birds — all manner of birds — and birdsong communications, great be-winged diversity.

We are all coming into a time where sharing languaging is especially important for our relationships with one another and our individual and collective thriving. 

How does the body communicate? 

...the Eagle with the water... 

…the Eagle soaring in the winds of transformative communications... 

…the cries of the bird of prey... 

…the songs of all her avian brethren, and of all the creatures and elements of the universe around her... 

…generously regenerating that abundance we mentioned?

Here we are in it, you and me.

What do we choose today? 

Gratitude to our Intuitive groups at Star Clock & Star Connective.

As I’ve continued my spelunking in this beloved bibliaugury, I'm here to rapport back my findings.

I was surrounded by fir trees as a kid and for some time as I was growing up.

The street I lived on when I was little was called Evergreen Drive.

The house I lived in was surrounded by different kinds of evergreens — firs and pines and maybe spruces too, but I have never gotten a steady understanding of which is which, only that I love them and feel safe around them.

When I had the sudden desire to look up the etymology of "fir," I felt sparks about having gravitated toward it.

Etymology Online has some great touch-points for me. There are references specifically to oaks and mountains, including references to "mountain forests."

Oaks are trees I am particularly familiar with in the study of Druidry, connected with my family ancestry.

The relationship between oaks and firs in the etymology is really intriguing to me, too; the discussion of how fir trees gradually displaced oak trees in northern European forests, and how the words relate to one another that way.

And although I didn't exactly grow up on a mountaintop, my first home was near the crest of an extremely high and steep hill in a generally mountainous region, in Pittsburgh's Allegheny Mountains. (It felt like a mountaintop to me!)

Here's the Etymology Online link: etymonline.com/word/fir

Then I looked at Etymologeek.

A little ways down the page, it references the Romanian "fir"; a hair, thread, string, filament, wire. To me in certain ways this says — a connector, that which may connect or tie together.

Further down at the bottom of the page at Etymologeek, it references the Catalan — Fair, it says. Community gathering.

Community gathering, very dear to my heart, and very connected (tied to) my feeling of safety amidst evergreens, where my extended family and community would come together to celebrate important occasions when I was very small.

Here's the page at Etymologeek: etymologeek.com/search/all/fir

That same page mentions the Luxembourgish "for" — which I take to mean "for one another"; "for good"; "for" as in the function of indicating purpose, intended goal (from Merriam-Webster).

I also notice that "fir" feels resonant to me with "fire" — the fire of life energy, the fire we gather around for warmth — and "friend," which has some similarity too.

I also find my mouth forming the word "free" as in "freedom" at the same time.

In memories I have and other sources I found, Fir trees indicate true relationality and the qualities of life-long interrelationship; endurance; surviving harsh experiences together and re-emerging with strength.

A fir grows “on the straight and narrow”; in Celtic and Druidic traditions, it can symbolize truth, honesty, forthrightness.

I have seen firs associated with a life spark’s persistence through a long winter; resilience and longevity; with renewal, with hopefulness.

A group of fir trees may invoke qualities of friendship; an evergreen, life-long interrelationship.

Fir trees endure adverse conditions, challenging weather, and substandard soils.

The deeper I went into this exploration, the more I was moved to continue it.

There are key lessons here for me and for my communities at this time, when so many are struggling in hardship, and when so many have become disconnected from lasting and nutritive relationships.

There are so many parts of this that feel powerfully activated for me, I can barely manage to put it down.

What’s all this mean?

What all this for?

The world around us teaches us things. Every experience we have, every perception, every element of our encounters, it’s all the Oracle. And fir trees came to me recently this way — through the Oracle.

When we find connective intersections of meaning, we are experiencing sigil-ing. We are part of movements and forms of the world; we are part of the writing (wright-ing, rite-ing, right-ing) of the material of the body of the universe.

Our experiences are being written into matter, whether or not we notice. Written into our bodies, yes, and also written into the whole world our bodies are interconnected with.

The most meaningful writing, in this regard, is where powerful relationships resonate and keep us tuned to the frequencies of our truest selves and authentic unfoldings.

I notice that this exploration into fir tree symbology connects me to many of my most important ideas — a place I want to anchor, and a place that feels deeply familiar to me even though I happened upon it unexpectedly.

What’s the Intuitive network for (fir)?

What are our loving relationships and community connectednesses for (fir)?

What life fire travels through us, suffuses us with living vitality, keeps whatever season we’re in bright and wakeful, roots us with one another?

How do we best persist through times of weariness and harshness?

What friendships and relationships have longevity?

What does it mean to gather in relational integrity with one another?

What ties us to one another?

How are we most truthful and forthright?

How do we strengthen our resilience together, and our ability to endure the most difficult of experiences?

What’s most important — what do we prioritize firstly?

Where do we find renewal?

This has been my process through the morning.

My gratitude to fir trees.

I was asked again recently what name I prefer to be called.

I noticed, this time, that the answer I want to give has changed from what it was in the past. But it’s taken me some extended process to determine how to verbalize it.

To all who wonder: You are welcome to call me Max, Mack, MEM, Megan, Elizabeth, Mo, Morris, or another name you may know me by — as you feel inclined.

It is nourishing for me to be called more than one name by people I engage with… a fuller sense of relationship and coming to know complex aspects of one another, for me… although I don’t mind at all if someone needs to pick just one.

Medicinal naming is a creative fluency of mine.

I began to use the name Max, from my paternal grandfather’s childhood name, after being very severely neurologically injured in destruction experienced by my family and communities — at a time, also, when it was dangerous for me to use my given name in internet communications because of the work I was doing with other trafficking survivors.

My grandfather’s name was Moses Mordecai Morris; he was called Max in childhood and as he came into his adult years, he was called Mack.

(This is why this Intuitive Public Radio platform on Substack, where I introduce our audiences to the Intuitive Network through my own experiences, is also referred to as “Mack’s Memo.”)

When Grandpa was a baby, he was called “Baby Maxie” by elder relatives with thick Jewish accents; when my aunt told me about this, she imitated them and pronounced it in a way that sounded like “Baby Megsy,” which intrigued me.

It was difficult for me to be called Megan for a long time, because my experience was that Megan had died — but because of misunderstandings many people have about neurological injuries, death experiences, and certain forms of invisible violence, this major death had somehow gone unnoticed.

My neurological injuries went on longer-term, and Grandpa’s names — Mack or Max — reminded me of the light my grandfather shone during his life, the strength he had given me through stories I’d been told about him, and his community and business successes.

From the very challenging position I was in, I knew I must secure for myself some new iteration of these ancestral successes.

Being called Max also gave me a sense of my own determination (possibility, maybe even probability) that I would somehow grow into function and capacity again — from injuries so severe that no professional knew how to assist or expected me to be able to regain my life — because Max was the name Grandpa was called as a baby.

Injured neurology is essentially “baby-state” neurology; so I had (and have) a long hard mission of repair to traverse to be able to begin to reclaim my life and vocation. (What a joy it is to be able to write this post and have this conversation.)

While my other grandparents, likewise, have powerful and meaningful roles in my world, Grandpa Mack was known particularly for his caring, relational connections in economically successful, community-oriented business.

This realm became especially important for me to repair myself to engage with, because survivors of injuries like these are typically entirely excluded from (and unknown in) business or economic worlds…

…at the same time as increased awareness in business and marketing communities is essential for solving the problems occurring at these survivors’ intersections.

I never got to meet Grandpa Mack, as he traveled on from this physical plane before I was born, but his presence in the family (as I’m sure one can tell from my lengthy response) made a significant impression.

In this way, he’s helped me rebuild my interpersonal relationships, my economic prowess, and my sense of family and community bodies.

There's a new and emerging landscape, now, about my medicinal naming.

Often, when people have asked me what I'd like to be called, I have tended to let them know that Max or Mack are best — short for Megan Elizabeth Morris. (Syllabically and energetically, I find each of these to be a great redux.)

But it's true also that Max and Mack are like titles now, because of all that has happened.

The meaning they have for me is a mantle that goes beyond my great love and respect for my paternal grandfather and for all my ancestors; these names have crucial meaning in the context of the Intuitive network and the work we are doing together, still unrecognized by so many and so fundamentally life-saving for all.

An enormous amount of rehabilitation has proceeded since the original days of this medicinal naming.

The name Megan is no longer painful for me now, the way it was — because of what we've achieved, and because of how much of my own self I've recovered after experiences so violent that nearly all the people in my world couldn't know about them or be in contact with someone who needed to express the truth of them.

The name Megan, now, today, after moving through the hardest of times, is a great strength.

Megan Elizabeth is what my mother and father named me, a name tremendously dear to me.

The name Megan connects me to the little girl I was before my world became so violent; the precocious, magical, colossally verbal child initiator and strategizer with the wild mop of dark curls who flowed and created and thrived in the love and nourishment given her by her family.

The name Megan connects me to the woman I became as a young adult before I experienced the extremity of that violence that wiped out my physical functions and neurology; the one tending relationships, caring for communities, building ambitious solutions, designing living systems, reaching into the intuitive cosmos for sustenance, making art and music, writing novels and knowledgebases, inviting earnest collaborations, believing in the greatest of possibilities.

The name Megan connects me to the woman I am becoming now, with unusual and profound resourcing still yet to share from the work I have done through years of traveling an unexpected wilderness — even after having lost a decade or so of my life to the wartime we've come through.

(Maybe that decade was "lost." …Or maybe it is exactly as it should be.)

The name Megan connects me to my life as it is unfolding in the present, more fruitfully than ever, and the family I am building as I interconnect relationships and resourcing for these survivors who have nowhere else to go for physical safety, care, love, respect, collaboration, vocational recovery, and recognition for their immense achievements.

I am so grateful to have my name back, to have my self back, in this way.

I am Megan; MEM; Max; and Mack — and all my other names.

Family is an important word; a frequent subject of discussion, recovery, resource coordination, and solutions implementation across many groups in the network.

In the worst times, I thought I had lost any chance to grow my own family — to raise children, to partner meaningfully and resiliently with someone who will treat me with respect and never take advantage of me the way I had been taken advantage of in the past.

Yet somehow, I have come to a place where that true kind of life partnering is a possibility; and considering the work we've done at the intersections of healthy intimate relationships and family frameworks, I have an appreciably more powerful position from which to ensure safety and longevity for children I will raise, ancestors we will continue to honor, and my entire (biological, community, cross-cultural, planetary, and cosmic) family body.

As more and more of my brain and body repair function and capacity, my self who is Megan is more and more present, more and more vital to my personhood and vitality as a living being.

She was gone, she was dead. But she's not gone anymore.

She's been growing back, surely and steadily.

She's coming into her resonance again. She's really here.

She's me.

I find, these days, that I want others to call me Megan... but, often, interestingly, only if they have already recognized me as Max or Mack.

When I process about this, it seems to me it is because if they know me as Max, they recognize much more of the work I've been doing over all these years.

When people who "knew me back then" call me Megan without recognizing me also as Max, it is a relevant signal to me to be aware that they may not be able to process the work I'm doing now and the experiences of the communities of survivors of severity who are my utmost priority.

That's all right; many can't process that work, regardless of what name they call me.

This shares many similarities with the trauma recovery signals and respect cues (preferred pronouns, preferred new names) sought by our colleagues of diverse gender expressions and transitional life expressions who need to know if the person they're talking with is going to respect them, truly, as the person they are — instead of trying to force them into a kind of conceptual box they themselves can't safely fit in.

There is significant value in knowing someone's predisposition toward you because of the name they use for you, or the ways they refer to you.

There are people who might call me Megan and entirely miss the most important aspects of my life and well-being.

But when someone calls me Max or Mack, it is usually because they know me as part of the Intuitive Network, or have been introduced to me in a situation where that work has been highlighted.

In the context of that work, to be called Megan also calls in the previous injured neurology that has been gradually growing back and re-establishing itself over the course of the neurological repair and recovery work I have been so diligently engaging.

In the context of that work, to be called Megan is a compelling relational integration of all the aspects of myself through my lifetime.

And that's what I want.

But wow, I bet you can see how it's a bit tricky to explain.

When you've been called derogatory names or assigned reference labels that degrade, disempower, dismantle, and abuse your own sacred life force and sovereign self… especially whilst being continuously victimized by physical violence and severe neurological injury… forms of medicinal naming like the ones I've described (and more varieties we might discuss) can become especially helpful to stabilizing recovery.

They can bring you back to yourself, to your loved ones, and to the world as they have for me, reviving Megan Elizabeth Morris in all the most important ways.

There are other names people call me, too — because I've asked them to; because certain names are meaningful to me in relationship with them; and because we have come to know one another well enough to know how to strengthen one another by naming one another wisely and well.

Although my varied names have confused new acquaintances at times, still, they have brought me an array of gifts in helping me find my way again when (almost) no one seemed to understand or believe how survival and recovery, for someone like me, could even be possible.

No matter what's happened or what you've been through, renewed life is possible.

If you're following what I'm storying, it may even be probable.

So I'm grateful to the names.

And I'm grateful to you when you notice the names.

Thank you for recognizing me.

(Not long ago, I could not count. Even in current circumstances… at least this much, for this purpose… I can count. This is a wonderful thing.)

Publish cue. Oh my gosh.

Do I remember who I am and what I'm doing?

Sort of. Not really. I set up lots of reminders. (This is one of the main purposes of Intuitive infrastructure. If you're going to have to come back from the dead, make sure you'll be able to remember something about what you were doing.)

Can't set up reminders for everything; but the ones I've got seem to get me generally back into the vicinity of what neurons need repairing.

I’ll tell you more about what I’m remembering right now.

My work with YLWRKT Sanctuary and Johanna O'Tea (of Driftless Intuitive Public Radio) continues to be one of the great privileges of my life.

One of the Sanctuary People conversations Johanna leads in the Intuitive network is called Creating the Conditions; where we examine together how to establish the personal, social, structural, and environmental conditions for success even in the midst of the prodigious challenges we are all encountering.

This is especially important to any other initiative we wish to move forward, considering the complex layers of conditions-deterioration that have resulted in suboptimal circumstances we're otherwise experiencing.

In Creating the Conditions, notes over this past year have included previously posted commentaries on how families and communities build true wealth, Johanna's ambient recordings of water and music with birdsong, and discussions about alleviating environmental toxicity especially for community members who are especially sensitive to small exposures of neurotoxins and endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Johanna and I have also been working on building methods for meeting and recording video, something that has been particularly challenging for both of us due to disability circumstances… and yet seems poised for near-future success.

We have moved mountains in just these past two years.

We are Creating the Conditions necessary.

I'm excited to share more of our conversations with you as endeavors come together.

We'll spend more time celebrating, too — joyful! — since, eek, it seems we've begun to re-establish our Intuitive Public TV video queue.

Working with video again is a wild experience for me.

Recording video at all is a significant effort, even if I'm recording with someone who has an easier time with it than I do. I seem to require Telegram messenger coordination to help my video recording efforts to succeed — all the time? almost all the time? — and editing, and finally publishing… is a whole massive, extended rehabilitation conversation.

I don't know how to convey to you yet exactly what it's taken for this to be possible… but it's happening.

Very (very) slowly, very mindfully, and with a lot (a lot) of grounded, steady breathing.

Once I get through the steps, we have a number of great recordings in segments that we will share; at the relaxed pace of which cognitive and electronic device functions work at which times in order to allow us to publish.

No schedule, no expectations — except that we know full well we are courting miracles and blessings. And we are celebrating!

Thank you so much to all those who support Intuitive Public Radio with a paid subscription to Substack. You are crucial to our success. We are grateful for your presence every moment.

Amongst upcoming Intuitive Public TV broadcasts are our continued bracing and delightful conversations with Sol Luckman Uncensored (adjacent to the ongoing Super Secret Audio Project). You can watch our most recent conversation now in full on Sol's Substack while you keep an eye out for our IPR segments and commentary to appear.

Our colleagues organizing Intuitive Prowess have begun recording video conversations, too, that I feel encouraged and activated (wow, this) to get to discuss with you.

Upmarket Magazine is unfolding new plans for video broadcast content collaborations and next steps forward.

Our machinations for the Intuitive Media Advisory Circle (quietly, forthrightly) have proceeded a-pace.

Intuitive Market Marvelous & Market Miraculous have raised premium nutrients.

Intuitive Recovery has interviews in the works that make me feel zingy.

An increased number of network colleagues have joined us, too, in practicing dailies. Especially exciting, as some of those dailies include video!

I mustn't mislead you — it's still quite difficult for me to get the videos up onto public platforms. There are consequences to the exertion and radiation exposure, even when I am especially careful. Sometimes it takes me out for awhile (!) between successes.

But it's important.

With so many of our community members and others around the world experiencing traumatic isolation and relational neurological injury, it's a big deal to see… and in certain ways interact with… one another's bodies. Even if for the moment it’s happening through a screen.

Feeling the non-verbal communications of gestures and faces; remembering one another better; knowing one another's subtle cues, emotions, intonations.

We're getting somewhere, even if I'm not tracking very well what exactly we've achieved on any given day, at any given moment.

I'm revving myself up again.

And although sometimes my body squeaks What are you doing??... I realize each time I come back to baseline that this is one of the better tasks I could be rehabilitating.

Holy moly, am I rehabilitating.

I'mma keep going.

If you feel moved to do so — recognizing the powerful recovery leverage it gives survivors of the most challenging intersections — support Intuitive Public TV, our Intuitive Network, and this survivor-led, community-building publication by signing up for a paid subscription to IntuitivePublicRadio.substack.com. From the depths of our hearts, thank you.

The One Who Knows... what?

The One Who Knows How:

...how to relax the body.

...how to restore the neurology.

...how to sink down deep into dream traveling.

...how to meet the challenge of the moment with awareness and Divine perception.

...how to eschew misdirection.

...how to profound the breathing.

...how to locate the somatic vehicle I am traveling in... through a dream world that is rich with nutriment.

...how to restfully expand the mindscape of the whole body… so that its roots grow deep in the earth of created physical reality.

...how to let seep out all the motes of tension or uncertainty; of questing; of striving.

...how to stretch and reposition for that enjoyably syrupy feeling.

...how to innovatively reinterpret sensory inputs... to provide texture and mineral components to the structure of the flow of all necessary elements... making their way from one part to the next... to the next... to the next.

...how to notice that the mind can relax and release all worries of mistakes or stress; whatever repeats, repeats for a reason that can be gleaned from the intuition... as a source of learning and changing.

...how to be one's true being, deepening into sleeping, traveling through that liminal space... where this becomes that... and we move between bodies.

...how to honor our most diverse, unanticipated, transitory experiences... without labels, without judgments; without any particular expectations.

The wind shifts.

The One Who Knows How…

…breathes and drifts…

…in the direction of solutions…

…that we discover to be miraculous.

Practice channeling this.

What did we come to this planet to accomplish?

What is it we have forgotten about the plan we chose to implement?

This is something that we can discuss from a certain perspective when we are not experiencing immediate physical emergency and violence.

But when we are experiencing immediate physical, emergency and violence, all this requires a special level of awareness and comprehension…

…for the mind to be wakeful…

…for the body to be relaxed as much as possible...

…at the same time as being very attuned in awareness…

…ready for alertness as is needed…

…and from that place of relaxed attention, to be able to take action very swiftly when the indication of necessary action is received.

We benefit from a quiet mind where we do not let fear overtake us.

Our ability to engage this modality does depend on what forms of physical emergency or physical violence we are experiencing.

There is the experience of being actively pummeled, being directly physically harmed in various ways that can occur; and there is the experience of the body recognizing a potential oncoming physical harm that must at all costs be avoided.

The more we practice such states of mind and body where it is more possible for us to practice… the more we have access to those states when it becomes more difficult to practice.

From any state we find ourselves in, we must continue to practice.

Considering the events of the world we find ourselves in, this must be an ongoing conversation — because to dissociate from it dissociates us from the living body of the collective of living beings we are part of.

Dissociating in such a way can bring unexpected, unanticipated, unprepared-for violence to us, to our loved ones.

If we then dissociate from what is happening — for ourselves, for those we care about — we isolate ourselves from the collective body. Our experience of being alive is significantly compromised by making decisions to let that body go.

Maybe for some this is their path. But we find this path to be deficient in nutrients.

We see the loss of joyfulness; we see the loss of relational resonance.

And still, maybe that is the thing for some.

But that relational resonance is something that we don't want to miss.

We have learned lessons in what it means to miss that relational resonance; to dissociate from it; to reject it; to disrespect it; to disregard it… it severs something in the synapses.

It severs something in the sacredness of connection; for many of us, simply doesn't make sense; and yet many don't know another way to comport themselves in circumstances of ongoing, increasing, intensive physical emergency and violence.

But we learn a lot from our practice.

We begin to notice, more easily, options we couldn't remember previously — because we hadn't practiced recognizing them enough to be able to access that neurology in the midst of such stress.

When our loved ones are experiencing such undeniable intensity, and we want to know how to help one another... sometimes there is nothing practical we can do but pray, and send communications that tell them we are with them, we are visualizing safety and protection and success for them.

Sometimes we can get communications through and sometimes we can't.

There is a sense with, for instance… white light expanding… that this is not only a facet of our imaginations; that we are part of the physiology of the world body... and that we instruct this physiology in ways we are still all learning.

When we breathe and attune with the sacred... which connects us from heart to heart, from cell to cell, all across the universe... we can breathe the whole body, all of us together.

And we can see with the eye of the heart... a shift in the violence that changes material reality... and creates and effects an easing in the physical violence, an easing in the state of emergency.

The more we practice, the more this is emergent:

Our Intuitive response.

Not only about public media toolsets — although that also is important, especially considering you are receiving my voice by way of this broadcast.

Our Intuitive response, as we practice, can be the collective activation of our awareness…

…that we are all inherently connected to and influential in the movements of material and energy all through the world body.

Knowing this gives us power in it. Not as isolated individuals, but as cells in the greater structure, knowing we are all connected. Knowing that the breath of my individual body matters to the breath in your individual body.

The resonance that produces my voice in this recording… finds the resonance in your physical body… as you hear me speaking.

We have been dissuaded from recognizing our powers as an interconnected collective.

We have been misled and misdirected. But we can true our direction.

We can connect what has been disconnected.

When we do this with faith… love… peace… respect… and the freedom that we feel when this practice frees us…

…all reality shifts to aid us.

Aligned with our intention to anchor miracle occurrences for one another…

…physical safety; relief from intensity; an ease of suffering…

…profound protection…

…and the flow of energies that activate unforeseen capacities to meet challenges we never imagined having to meet.

This is my prayer for you and for all of us.

Thank you for joining me in it.

You might be doing this as a solo project.

You might be working with your family on the most important aspects of your survival and thriving together — your collaborative efforts, your building of income streams, your interpersonal relationships.

You might be building this into your business and marketing processes.

You might be building it into the way you manage your resources.

You might be building a project in your community to help interconnect more of your community members; to help one another directly to create abundance and thriving together as a community body.

You might be producing efforts that interconnect many locations throughout the region where you live; for instance, a network of food forests or recovery refuges.

When you invest in this infrastructure, you are inherently creating more of it where you are at… according to your individual needs and specifications… and the needs of your community and your community spaces. 

Whatever your priorities are for your personal strength and nourishment, for your vocational vitality, for your life force to be vivid in doing what you feel greatest meaning and activation in doing… 

…that is what is needed for the success of Intuitive Infrastructure; for the safety and well-being and health and vitality of the living beings around you.

All the structures you interact with, all the businesses that you invest your resources in, all of the activities that your family engages with — these are all profoundly affected by the presence of Intuitive infrastructure.

And so, whether you are one of our Intuitive Fund Builders on IntuitivePublicRadio.substack.com…

…or whether you have a different account; whether you are paying for that account with federal reserve notes or another form of currency; whether we've comped your account because you may be operating at the front lines of hardship in a way that cuts you off from economic participation…

…regardless of any of these…

…you are bringing the resources that you have to the Intuitive network…

…so that you can then learn how we structure our trainings.

You convey what you learn into your projects, into what you help others with, and into everything that you build: for yourself personally, for your restfulness, for your recovery from injuries, from traumas you may have experienced — into the ways that you are in service, in relational integrity with all the living beings around you. 

Special thanks to Kim Barra whose care notation support helped us publish this peace.

“Additionally, an opportunity exists for community and media leaders to establish more accessible channels to interface with marginalized groups, like trafficking survivors and the neurologically disabled. Such vulnerable populations often struggle to make their voices heard and needs met.

Meanwhile, leaders want to help but can feel overwhelmed when directly engaging trauma and disability. Better communication pathways, aided by compassionate intermediaries when needed, can close this gap. Investing in feedback mechanisms, advocacy training, and intermediary roles allows leaders to truly represent their entire constituency. Proactive inclusion brings missing perspectives into the public discourse, strengthening communities.

In the end, restoring social bonds begins with the self. Each of us contains multitudes - instincts both selfish and compassionate. We can choose to act from fear and division or understanding and unity. Bridging divides starts with curiosity - seeking out new acquaintances and hearing their stories. Simple acts of listening without judgment build trust in polarized times. Finding common hopes beneath surface differences often reveals shared struggles.”

— Social Fragmentation: Examining the Roots and Finding Reconnection by Demi Pietchell, The Starfire Codes (26 October 2023)

I recommend reading the complete article here.

Day 21, I am told by a dear colleague, is Wolf Goddess day. It has other names, too: Ik 9 Tzi we learned from daykeepers; Dog spirit amidst the Breath of Life, Voice that Connects.

I remember a Wolf Goddess I met late one night, or perhaps very early in the morning, before the sun unveiled her shining.

It was many years ago.

When I recall her, I must separate her from other different energies that previously were conflated. It feels confusing, but then there is clarity.

Through the cleared conduit, she speaks to me.

In a series of conceptual conjunctions and diverse rare angles — well beyond trines and squares — she lays out a dialogue between us.

But she doesn't speak in the kind of words we were instructed about in school.

She speaks in words shaped from runes made of positionalities in the universe.

Movement and vibration are her etymological building blocks.

Her words are the ones I always knew.

As she paints the scene and I type on the screen, I wonder how to share it with you.

I'm imagining a game where it is necessary to say a word or phrase that saves one's progress and allows one to make a real go of it in gameplay.

And then, a surprise: That word or phrase has been disallowed by a mechanic in the game.

If you say it now, it will stop your gameplay — and either start you back from the beginning or remove your avatar from the board permanently.

If you don't say it, you may have the same result by another route.

You investigate to know whether your saving phrasing has been disallowed from the game utterly, or if this stricture may be temporary.

You find this surprise applying to more than one saving phrasing. While some seem temporary, others are persisting.

You start encountering this challenge too frequently.

It has stopped much of your necessary languaging.

It is not just a little game.

This will stop your gameplay, stop your life, stop your body.

There is violence, injury, pain, fear, and suffering.

As you come to recognize the impasse, you feel the cusp of the universe within your physical form and you know it may be time to go.

But what is it now that Wolf Goddess is teaching?

What does she want you to know?

Neural pathways a-light.

New language comes into being.

Precious components align together, birthing new syllabic symbologies.

Here and here and here grow bonds, attach new and changed meanings.

All these connection points occur in relationship between elemental beings.

Through the layers and striations of this experience, you discover that somehow new language has been emerging.

The landscape of language itself has changed.

Now what utterance was taboo?

Now what is the saving phrase?

Wolf Goddess lifts her face and howls from all her parts of the Earth body resonating into the great wide Sky.

You hear her colleagues across the cosmos respond, threads of sound aligning and harmonizing.

You shiver for a moment, and bide.

There is a sense of grace.

You know yourself to be very brave.

Describe what you want to experience as if it is here.

Begin to notice how in fact it is actually here in ways you had previously overlooked.

Celebrate what is here!

Enjoy the gradual experiential narrative of blessings growing roots, leaflets, and tiny buds.

Here is where we're at in it. Here activates rich nutrient structures and magic that flows through soil into plant bodies, into animal bodies.

Each moment, we are becoming.

What you want to experience, somehow, is already occurring. Continues to show itself, increasingly occurring.

Your loftiest goals; your deepest desires; your truest faith in the manifest beingness of a beautiful reality physiologically grounding to your living body.

Greetings to the dawning of a wondrous world.

Days 14-19, aho!

Sacred time-keeping is my relative.

Blessings, joy, and long-life to all my relatives.

Here in the land of severe, inexplicable, recurring physical injuries, we have elevated dissociation to a special form of art.

How else could we come to truly know one another, ourselves, and the universe… but by first splitting us so starkly apart?

When the body is damaged, one has a choice about how to encounter the experience of damage. Often, our choicefulness masquerades as choicelessness -- the trauma of significant injury can create a fog, memory may be erased -- and yet, the choice is there.

Another form of memory persists in our relationship with our environment; our relationship with all reality. It can take time and striving to recognize this. It is not necessarily easy.

Each one of us is different and unique.

The options that may emerge in our experiencing are diverse — amidst a vast unknown; our greatest teacher, profound and inscrutable to us.

When the fist hits, when the substance poisons, when the material breaks; it can seem as if only one option is available. But there are more.

The moment we believe in the space-scape of these options… new, previously-unnoticed options start peering at us out of the void. They greet us with meekness, hopefulness, brazen confidence, and in dozens of other ways.

Hullo! this one says. I am here! Are you interested?

And what about me? inquires another. I could help, too.

Six more poke their foreheads out of the dense, nutrient-rich soil of possibility. (Was that a void before? Some of them seem to be sprouting carrot greens.)

My daily practice amidst composite physiological fractures finds itself gathering to one side, then another; then yet another, as there are more than two facets for sure; now deepening into a different modality than before; discovering again the path to writing text; then the use of an electronic device; then the type, then the shared connection, then the Internet.

What happened?

Got hit again.

Each time I navigate back to a place I had been, I wonder at there being remnants of prior experiences remaining.

I was here before.

And somehow, I'm here again now.

What does that mean?

Does it mean I keep going?

The options glimmer knowing smiles. They've had this conversation with me (many times — I'll remember later). One flips a vivid lock of green growing leaflets over one shoulder and brandishes her very most intriguing expression. Hey! she summons me fiercely. Here's an option.

…An option I hadn't considered yet.

Okay, I say to them and to all other relatives.

Let's explore our options.

It's been interesting to me… how we have found that people from many walks of life… at privileged intersections and at underprivileged intersections… are experiencing hidden trauma, violence, injury, and seemingly-insurmountable adversity.

Whereas many people in hardship (or not in hardship) are acculturated to place blame, we find that individual experiencing is so radically diverse, there is never truly a way to know what someone is going through when they respond (or don't respond) in a particular way.

Although money, resources, and relationships do change landscapes for those who can access them, still, there are often very serious challenges they must overcome in order to keep their own place in their own structure of interconnections… without any idea how they could survive if they don't succeed in that way.

Although many of us perceive an impassible divide between those in extreme hardship and those who are not experiencing extreme hardship, we have more in common than we at first realize.

We all wonder how to steady our ships.

We all seek nourishment and strength.

We want to build resources that align health and wellness for our families and communities.

Each of us has developed a unique and profound lived expertise at our most immediate intersections… and may feel pressed by the daunting challenge of learning how to recognize it, claim it, and express it to others.

We aspire to being our own real selves in a way that we've often been prevented from; balking and chafing when someone or something tried to misdirect us; desiring the emergence of our own truest expressions of self-ness.

And massively, sacredly…

…we are all so different.

And massively, sacredly…

…what we have to be shared, to be recognized in similarity…

…is powerful beyond all reckoning.

How do we tune to that?

What frequency, these blessings?

Today, I'm finishing up our updates to the 24/7 livestreaming rotation at https://www.internet-radio.com/station/intuitive/. It even seems to be running mostly on time.

If you'd like to take a look at the line-up, we're keeping it in this document. (More related links can be found by browsing from Intuitive.pub/radiostreams.)

I have intermittent clarity on previous sequences; but this most recent sequence having surpassed 200 numbered episodes is a pretty rad experience.

Severely disabled people at the intersections I and our other community members are navigating do not typically reach any privilege of communicating in such a way.

This occurred because the survivors of severity shepherding our Intuitive Network (including myself) have shown up with resources they could barely get by without -- because they knew what was at stake.

Even as scarce as resources have been, we have brought together crucial elements of success; and we're still moving forward.

I am feeling that and it feels amazing.

Day 11.

Rescue relief is a serious commitment, and changes one's days in unexpected ways.

One's own recovery experience is personal, often very intimate to oneself, and it, too, is a serious commitment. We often don't realize how serious -- until we are confronting our own body's need for recovery.

Navigating rescue relief collaborations while recovering from one's own compounded, long-term injuries sounds like it would be unwise or impossible.

That's what I thought, at first, too.

I also stumbled around and bumped into problems a lot, when I started to try to figure it out.

And then I found out how much more effectively one's own recovery -- from physical injuries, from many forms of trauma -- can progress when one is truly attuning and presencing with others in their recovery journeys.

It was unexpected for me that this is such a very strange and complicated landscape; and so hidden from the outside.

We have spent a lot of years now determining how best to communicate it. I do think we're making some headway. But it continues to be a wild and miraculous kind of poetry.

Well, I like poetry. :-)

Day 12.

What is your daily process?

What do you practice… repeating, refining, and regenerating… moment-to-moment?

It might be something you only reiterate once a day… or you might find yourself deepening into a practice that suffuses your minutes and seconds.

And… one may become the other without warning.

There are always new layers to explore; linear and non-linear.

When we have survived extreme and long-term forms of violence, especially when access to professional care resources is limited or prevented, any practice that can be found must itself be rooted profoundly in relational somatics.

What is your beingness, here in the world?

How does your brilliantly wise and wondrous body repair your beingness, bringing you into wholeness and fluency?

In what ways are you interconnected with all other beings?

Good medicine.

Being in the world is a vibrating-frequencies-thing.

I'm cultivating silent stillness, prayerfulness in the breath of the body, and connection to the dreaming materials that were lingering with me as I woke from REM earlier this morning.

My moment-to-moment is ever-new; I practice releasing expectations about what I will remember, how my brainbody may function at any given time, or whether I of my own self will fulfill a particular intention. Those are not entirely within my control.

My present moment is in wholeness. I expand it and dream my desired futures; I let it carry me forward (in all directions, simultaneously).

On Day 8, I center myself with especial dedication.

The intention that is fulfilled comes about through Divine design; through the collaboration I faithfully engage while not wholly knowing all the specific elements of the universe's collaboration with me.

I did not anticipate this kind of "living in the present" before I experienced severe long-term neurological injury. I continue to run up on the realization that not being able to control (or even necessarily recall) my previous words or movements is an intriguingly (surprisingly?) nutritive way to explore the world.

There's been fear, there's been uncertainty, and rigidity around what some might think about it, when I know that others don't know the details of my experience.

I want to convey my care and regard for them, and I notice how that slips beyond me, diligently though I may try to secure opportunities for it. Maybe it's only meant to happen when it happens.

Best to release that tension.

More than enough blessings to mention.

Prayers for just the right miracles to emerge in the midst of each and every one.

On Day 9, I grow my roots even deeper.

All the cycles of all the peaces of all the parts of all the materials… we are yet more complex than the densest of Tarot decks. Overt and hidden intricacies vibrate our worthiest frequencies. From the greatest of challenges, we are gifted powerful learning.

We are all wending our way on paths we cannot predict.

I am extending such wishes to those with whom I have not been able to connect… as well as to those I have been privileged to interconnect with.

You are important to me too, you know.

What's your flow?

The vast amount of content already released is a tome for survivors, support professionals, survivors who are reclaiming and recovering their professions, families, friends and the general public. The content and community spaces are made with survivors, including those in active danger, in mind.

Professionals interested in supporting survivors are welcome and can become involved in active projects.

Consulting with IPR is crucial in the construction of...

* recovery centers

* survivor assistance programs

* inclusive community building

* the education of therapists, social workers, nonprofit agencies, and administration of those sectors.

Her deep and wide knowledge and experience of environmental, social, and political influences, and mastery of Trauma Awareness make Megan's insight and feedback a cornerstone of any program that supports survivors of severity."

— 20 October 2023 • Recommended on Alignable by Cheryl Anne Ruebner of Readings By Rue: Astrology and Tarot for You

On this day, I published audio readings of a number of key peaces, including Max Mo Dailies; most scheduled ahead to appear on the public platform over the following few days. Blessings are emerging, green-leaf’d and fragrant with life energy.

At the time I began writing this 20 October daily, two of those posts were visible (& listenable), and I’m sharing links to them below.

(Will you share your impressions, inspirations, dream travelings, and meanderings with me?)

A forthright description of the work we’re doing here in the Intuitive network:

Listen (3 min) | Intuitive, Networked • Public Media & Community Resourcing for Hardship Survivors

…and…

My response to an inquiry regarding “the hard part”:

Listen (3 min) | What's the hard part? • Remarkably reliably, hardship is transmuted by Intuitive toolsets

Something especially resonant, recently, has been anchored.

I’m not going to even venture to say what it is. It keeps shifting. Oh, “anchor” — is that the word I used? I still mean it.

And somehow, simultaneously, this is also true:

Every moment, the world is different.

With the upcoming scheduled posts over the next few days, we will have broadcast our 200th (officially numbered) episode (of this recent sequence) by the time I eat breakfast on the morning of Sunday the 22nd of October, 2023.

[Note from the future! This happened. How awesome is it that this happened? Very awesome. Can you guess how much neurological repair it required to be able to count public numbered episodes to 200? It’s a lot. We are graced to have gotten so far, and we’re still going. This post you’re reading or listening to now is episode 201.]

My functions for communicating via Internet platforms are more prodigious than ever.

Our capacity to meet challenges together continues to increase.

The day has unfolded complexly for me.

I achieved a number of things I am glad to have achieved. I had, oh, about 4 hours sleep last night. Who could even have expected that I could achieve such things on so little sleep? (More sleep tonight, please.)

I tended to sensitive family intersections and network challenges. I supported colleagues and publishing initiatives. I engaged in some premium quality emotional processing.

I am holding the sensations I am experiencing -- all the sensations, not fleeing them, not squelching them; being with them.

I know that I am very brave. I am breathing deeply and steadily. I am stretching my body, listening to physical pain to find easing for it, and taking my time.

Through the past 24 hours or so, a notable number of strange coincidences and certain blessings have made contact. Some of them... I don't even know what to make of. Others fill me with a sense of well-rooted nourishment.

Am I soaring through space?

Hovering in the air?

Deepening into the rich, ancient soil?

I am here somewhere. It seems I am still locating myself.

Soon, I suspect, I will sprout. (Again!)

If ever there was a truly viable purpose to a daily practice, self-location -- I'd say -- is a doozy. Creative unfoldment, too, and fecundity.

Thank you for locating… and blossoming nourishment… along with me.

Today I’m noting to colleagues — and to myself, especially — that the most powerful form of rescue relief support any of us can provide to survivors of the most invisible and violent of hardship intersections… is to be in relationship with them.

To engage with them conversationally with full respect for their personhood and authentic expressions.

To listen closely, learn from what they’re sharing, and respond with true care.

To build community together, learning more about one another, knowing one another better, and collaborating more fruitfully as our lives unfold forward into the future.

Sometimes, we are able to do a particular thing to directly address a situation a survivor is experiencing; we can certainly provide a form of care notation, even if we’re not able to write or type, just by listening with attunement and reflecting back their communications to ensure accurate understanding.

(This alone repairs many levels of relational and verbal neurological injuries, putting that survivor in a much-improved position to invent and implement solutions in their immediate circumstances.)

Sometimes, we are able to do more:…If one has financial means, sharing monetary currency can be life-saving.

…If one has access to practical supply resourcing and can have items sent to the person in hardship or connect them with a related form of resource support, this is an important form of assistance and relationship-building.

…If one can serve in an advocacy role and support communications between the survivor and others who can assist, it’s a rare and wonderful way to extend a sense of increased safety and belonging to that survivor.

…If one has other particular skills that the survivor can directly benefit from, it can be awesome to shift hardship situations toward relief and blessings in this way.

But any one of us might find that we cannot do most of those things — especially those of us experiencing severe disability ourselves.

Is it that we can do nothing? Is it that we are helpless to make a difference for the survivor in front of us (online or in person) who cannot find help anywhere else?

No.

In fact, we are far more powerful than we realize.

Because survivors of trauma have experienced neurological injury by the very nature of experiencing trauma…

…and because that neurological injury is always verbal and relational due to the ways trauma inherently damages verbal and relational parts of the brain…

…verbal, relational neurological repair is a fundamentally life-changing form of support to receive when one is in distress and cannot find another route to safety.

In traumatic situations, it becomes difficult or impossible to think or process information; the individual needs the collective (a group, a family, or a community) to assist in repairing the individual’s own processes and physical body.

Being consistently treated with patience, care, and respect is an experience most survivors cannot find once they cross a certain threshold of traumatic experiencing; not even in commonly-referenced professional or social support structures.

And while encountering a limited form of this kind of assistance (as in calling a helpline and talking with someone whose name you do not know, who you will likely never encounter again, who will never build a longer-term relationship or collaborative dynamic with you) can be temporarily helpful… it does not provide the kind of relational neurological repair that is usually needed.

For that, we must rebuild our community structures to include awareness of and direct relationship with survivors of the most severe circumstances.

This is the only way that a severely-affected body knows it can continue; because it is building in relationship with others who will continue to be part of a group where members care about one another.

The individual body establishes self-location, neurological resilience, and memory through relationship with the community body.

What does this mean?

When you practice respectful, caring dialogue with people who communicate differently than you — especially when they have survived trauma, violence, or disablement you don’t yet understand — you are co-facilitating the growth of new neurological pathways for both of you.

You may have no idea how to help someone you come into contact with.

But if you respect their desire to communicate and you learn from your interactions with them, you may discover you have more ways to support them — with no harm to yourself or your resources — than you ever previously realized.

Does this mean you shouldn’t protect yourself from a communication you feel unsteady or uncomfortable about? Not at all.

It’s important for you to recognize and honor your own needs; this is the only way you can effectively care for others.

At the same time, when you watch for opportunities… you will notice ways to gently nudge yourself to extend your comfort zone.

Doing so will activate your creativity and insight on levels you never expected.

You’ll find yourself in conversations with people you never could have engaged with before. They’ll become tremendous blessings in your life; miraculous resources; unmatched teachers; beloved co-creators.

More importantly, you’ll be radically reducing the amount of unaddressed trauma and neurological injury in and around your community simply by being willing to grow relationally with people you might have felt helpless to assist before.

Daring to care for and respect one another through building community relationships — even considering what are sometimes daunting differences — produces increased cognitive and practical capacities for all involved.

It means more function and resilience for people in hardship as well as for people who already feel well-supported in their lives.

It contributes tremendously to eliminating human trafficking pathways — because knowing, respecting, and caring for one another directly interrupts and prevents the most common forms of human trafficking cooptation.

It reduces the burden of destruction and deterioration that communities experience when they don’t know how to connect with one another or work together to solve challenging problems.

It provides solutions and opportunities that change our lives.

It’s real rescue relief — relationship.

Any of us can expand our skillsets in relational integrity with those around us.

And all of us benefit when we do.

This is my practice.

I wrote my daily, yesterday, while keeping away from the internet-connected laptop -- preserving my body against the effects of the EMF that can compound my highly sensitive health conditions. I rose to demanding circumstances with alacrity! And wow, I'm learning.

Today is Day 4. I'm feeling a little more fresh, a little more strong, and at the laptop again to finish yesterday's writing (which you'll find below) and include new flows for the unfolding of this new day — the 18 of October, 2023.

My Day 3 & 4 notes here begin as follows:

Challenges do arise. How do we meet them?

With faith and love. With patience. With respect. With care.

With awareness that we do not ever see the whole picture — but we can feel into our relationship with one another to broaden our recognition of what we and others are experiencing.

Every challenge, it seems to me, intersects with the subject of family.

In discussions of business and marketing, I have felt this especially.

Family itself is the business; the well-being of the family body is my livelihood -- inherently.

That's why any work occurs; so the family… our most intimate collective body… can be well, safe, and supported.

When our families are in crisis, we don't want to find the family in conflict with our business. We want to know that our business, by its very nature, supports the best thriving of our family.

Yet, much business methodology assumes the family well-being must be sacrificed for the livelihood. This unfortunate approach fails to recognize the strength and clarity of business that is fully aligned with the strength of family attunement.

And indeed, right now many of us are noticing that the global crisis is also a family crisis — not only about individual families, or individuals' extended families, but about the sense of family care that we broaden to one another all around the planet when we recognize what we have in common.

To care for the planet together, that is an important form of family.

To value diverse voices and lived experiences, that is an important form of family.

Many people who have lost members of their families… and people who have lost their entire biological families… have discovered a powerful sense of family in deepening their connection to the Earth and to the resonance of life energy all around them.

Many people find a compelling family energy in their connection with the greater cosmos.

And many people have great difficulty locating themselves in any kind of family, because of the ubiquitousness of relational trauma and neurological injury.

As the day has dawned this 18 October, I've felt a coming-together of peaces that a long while had been disparate.

Often, you might notice Mayan names for a particular day in the headers or content of my writing.

I got myself through some of the most challenging and life-threatening circumstances I've encountered by following what I've been able to learn of the Mayan calendar — what I found over many years to be a much more accessible system than the Gregorian, for me, for repairing neurological injury — because of its relational archetypes, energies, and imagery.

There is a sense of expansive, greater-than-planetary family there for me because of the ways that following the Mayan calendar… and the refuge from violence that I found near lands ancestrally connected to Mayan peoples… saved my life when all else was lost.

Having studied this to the best of my ability for a decade or so is now a rhythm, a sense of cycles, a familiar frequency. When I notice how much has changed in that time, those rhythms feel even more present.

Yesterday (Day 3), I reviewed vocal performance videos recorded 20 years ago.

The experience deeply nourished and fundamentally shocked me.

I watched myself singing the professional repertory I had cultivated over the course of my musical career and I didn't just see the subtle actions of my physical body. I felt them.

In the midst of long-term rehabilitation from compounded trauma and physical injuries so severe that no professional anywhere knew how to help me address them, the nutrients of contact with these video recordings flowed powerful new understandings into me.

I sang like that before I experienced violence and fled the country. My body knew how to do it.

Did all of that really happen?

And… how?

How did I come to have the privilege of watching these videos?

Because my mother recorded them… kept them… and brought them to me, wanting to watch them with me.

Because I am fortunate enough to have regained my contact with my mother, even after everything that happened to both of us, and to our family.

There is so much to be said about the blessing of my mother being in my life at all after the violence we and our family have experienced.

I'll say more at another time, in another place.

For here and now…

My recognition is that the vibration of honoring my family body is inherently my profession; inherently my livelihood; inherently the most important alignment for the work I do in the world; and perhaps the only reason to have any dealings with money at all, considering how toxic monetary systems can be.

Healing (wholing) my own physical body after experiences of violence has been framed for me as impossible, but those who framed it this way were mistaken. It was assumed I would never sing again; certainly never regain my own professional income; and probably not survive.

Making my body strong and capacious again -- that is service not only to my individual self but to my family.

And that, also, is my livelihood. In the context of the great suffering and destruction all my family has experienced — inherently — it is our livelihood.

I see that gradually… in one way and then another way… one step and then another step… I am achieving these things.

We flow resources and we find ways for the family body to be strengthened.

We build our understanding of family not only in our sense of biological family, but in our sense of the collective ecosystems of living beings we are part of.

We're all here, all connected. You who are reading; I who am writing; and so many others around us who are sometimes near, sometimes very far away.

We meet challenges with faith, love, patience, respect, care… creative vitality… courage for innovation… attuned presencing… relational integrity… collaborative fluency… belief in ourselves, in what matters, and in one another.

We keep time together.

We build blessings.

We tend the body.

The "What's the hard part?" conversation has continued to unfold intriguingly. There are a number of intersections that go along with this; one very important element is how invisible neurological injury and trauma can be in those who are disabled or have survived trauma.

When someone experiences neurological injury -- which trauma itself is, inherently, as it damages at least the verbal parts of the brain and usually more parts of the brain and body as well -- their communications will often change in unexpected ways.

This creates a level of hardship that can be totally unrecognized by the people around them, who might by confused or misinformed about what those styles of communication mean.

For instance, many trauma survivors and those disabled by neurological injury are labeled with mistaken or inappropriate diagnoses (by professionals, family, or community members) that bring in potentially harmful assumptions or mental illness stigmas, compounding the original trauma or injury and making it much more difficult for the severely affected person to communicate with those around her.

People who have survived trauma and neurological disablement often must take more time to complete tasks or fulfill communications needs than others expect -- and their processes may be quite different than that of others around them. This means that the requirements for interactions in community spaces may inherently prevent trauma survivors and neurologically disabled people from participating.

The truth is, we need the people in our communities who have experienced hardship. We need their lived experience and wisdom; we need their know-how and special capacity for solving difficult problems. We need the diversity and nourishing vitality of their living-being-ness in our community environments, helping us know more about one another and ourselves at the same time.

And many people do find it hard to understand what these individuals and families have gone through -- especially because of the differences in communications, languaging, and social interaction that occur when trauma and neurological injury are in play.

At the same time, it is relational neurological repair that makes all the difference for these survivors -- ongoing communications connectivity in a context where one has a sense of belonging, purpose, and that one's strengths are recognized in respectful, caring community spaces.

Over time, this allows them to communicate much more fluently in languages that other community members can recognize, understand, and respond to; it also allows the community to benefit from the nutrients of different and valuable communication styles.

We have the solution for some of our most difficult problems right here, in the relationships we build with one another when we care for the people around us.

One of the things we discuss with the communities we work with in terms of architectural and procedural adjustments they can make to ensure the physical safety of the most vulnerable and intersectionalized members of their communities... is how they can strengthen and broaden inclusive lines of communication.

How can neurologically injured community members reach out to the community to share their experience, especially when violence or significant hardship are occurring that may harm more other community members if it is not known or addressed?

How can community members be supported in learning how to understand, uplift, and amplify communications from severely affected people so that all can benefit?

What are the ways that community leadership encourages community members to learn more together, practice patience and respect for one another, and how to respond in situations where they're not sure what to do?

Many people have found in the very worst of emergency situations that their only knowledge of what to do in a crisis is to rely on systems that have been implemented in the midst of the community from outside the community -- for instance, care systems marketed by large organizations that do not have any stake in the community's own well-being or interpersonal relationships.

These can sometimes help, but where they do not help, the harms are obscured and made invisible because the people who are most severely affected become less and less able to communicate normatively the more they experience the compounding of already traumatic situations.

We've found that this isn't just a topic of how we relate to one another on a one-on-one or on an interpersonal community level. It's a marketing conversation!

What marketing cues have we received that have inclined us to think there were resources for community members in distress... that actually weren't there, or weren't applicable, when those community members really needed them?

What marketing cues do we get to create together to help more people learn to listen more closely, treat one another with more kindness and consideration, and build collaborations that bring in all the wonderful strengths of community members who might not ever be known or embraced otherwise?

This is what I've been thinking about this morning. I'm very interested in others' senses, experiences, questions, and ideas about it.

Thank you for reading Day 2!

I've had a dailies practice for many years, off and on; sometimes shared, sometimes private. If I'm not writing it in text, I'm drawing it, or singing it, or doing a somatic practice, or dream traveling it (or similar). During times of especial hardship, my practice has been very somatic; having been through those experiences makes my practice now much deeper than it ever was before.

Over the course of yesterday and this morning I've supported a colleague through care notation, a form of relational communications support we've developed in the Intuitive Network that helps to repair neurological injury. I reached out to some new colleagues building exciting projects. I fed myself very good, very nourishing food. Yum yum. I overcame obstacles! I transmuted challenges!

I had some nutritive conversations about rewilding marketing, too, as an extension of conversations about social permaculture. And about the "weeds" (read: unexpected medicines) of business.

After publishing a private community description of my most meaningful work (previously posted on this Substack), someone kind asked me "What's the hard part?" I made a response to this, and you'll find it in previous posts.

There have been some truly lovely exchanges, especially since the time of the new moon annular solar eclipse in Libra yesterday. There has been a very present dream-space quality since waking early this morning. I am now moving to spend some time with my Dream Travelers' groups, which is always a particularly grounding practice for me.

Today I am feeling into the self-nurturing that will set me up for vital processes going forward, letting the right next steps flow to me (with me) as they are most aligned and resonant.

Thank you for reading. 🌻🌿

So... what's the hard part?

In the work itself, we find over and over again that there doesn’t necessarily need to be a hard part.

We practice toolsets to assist us in engaging relationally with one another; making resilient relationships and tending the community body. Hard parts, in this context, tend to suddenly not be hard parts. They become beautiful synchronies; surprising blessings; strengths and nourishments. Gifts. Initiations. Up-levels.

Initiations are hard… but then they confer a great strength. So are they hard parts? Maybe the hard part keeps being relocated into the past tense.

We have to get good at this kind of magic at these intersections; there’s no way to survive without it. Lots of people don’t know that process yet, but it’s a wonderful experience to get to learn it; and really, the only way to learn it is to come into regular contact with demonstrations of it, having it modeled by friendlies on an ongoing basis, and having supported opportunities to practice.

Whenever we work closely to develop skill and increased awareness with Intuitive toolsets, we see that what we thought were “the hard parts” transmute remarkably — when we come together to build trust and collaborate directly, relationally. The hard parts only become so hard when we don’t know how to do that and don’t know anyone who can help us do it.

Individuals, or groups of individuals, may have hard parts for reasons that are personal to them; but the hard part isn’t built into the landscape of the work.

The hardship is happening in the absence of the toolsets; once we know the toolsets, our being present and attuned with one another transmutes the hardship.

This includes communications bridging, rescue relief, and disability recovery aid infrastructure — in many countries worldwide, at intersections unrecognized by social service organizations — for survivors of violence who can’t find help anywhere else; and special support for communities, professionals, and organizations that want to recognize, care for, and collaborate with them.

On any given day I and available volunteers are working with a lot of different vocational, nonprofit projects in process with survivors in my network who are otherwise cut off from economic access or participation.

Our work together prioritizes assisting communities in identifying architectural and procedural solutions that ensure severely disabled people do not invisibly fall out of community belonging and into situations where they are preyed upon by violent influences.

My waking hours are largely spent coordinating online content reflecting the efforts of our severely disabled survivors’ groups to increase our leverage in building safe community resourcing for these invisible populations.

We focus tremendously upon the unique, powerful skills and forms of expertise severely affected people have developed in order to meet their considerably challenging environments, and how this can be leveraged directly for beautiful outcomes in physical and vocational recovery as well as regenerative community and economic vitality.

I enjoy creating public media (and private media) dialogues with anyone and everyone who wants to see communities tended, cared-for, nourished, and strengthened in collaborative fluency.

This is how we promote conversations between individuals and groups who might otherwise not know how to talk with one another – and might not even realize the other is there.

We build trust, understanding, and long-term relationships by being present, attuning with one another, and building beautiful solutions together.

...so I listen.

And then I open my mouth to speak.

Some parts of this are the long game, and some parts come swiftly into place.

We do not judge the timing of outcomes by another element's pace.

Each item occurs at its own best rate.

And yet, this timing can be affected by how we organize our inherent resources: crucially, the words we speak and the pictures we make; the thoughts in our heads; the stories in our bodies; our moment-to-moment symbology.

This is a powerful discipline.

It is not so easy to mistress it.

And yet...

Witness how we have been mistressing.

Patience is a practice of some significance, too often married with frustration...

...and yet there is no other way to recognize, experience, and integrate each increment of a learning process that occurs in a density and wholeness of detail.

Must not be rushed; cannot even happen, if rushing is our only concept of proceeding.

To locate oneself as disciple to the sacred... means discipline. For all we have been misled about the meaning of the word, still nature arrives to teach us.

Do we acknowledge her ministrations?

Are we grateful for her tending?

Do we know her care for us by her actions?

Let us never misinterpret the great challenge of our challenging situations as a lack of care from the universe.

Let us recognize the gift in it that strengthens us...

...in ways we could not have achieved without that experience.

There seems a sourness of trauma that wants to respond to that kind of statement. But is it less true for that?

I think not.

The trauma comes from words like these being said in situations... where people are divesting themselves of responsibility for their environments and their own decisions.

Then it rings hollow and it doesn't mean anything.

But in the presence of attunement, relational integrity, and the collaborative fluency of an interconnected living ecology...

...the gift of the hardship experience...

...can then flow through relationships between living beings...

...and strengthen the collective body...

...rather than being an excuse for shrugging off someone's suffering and traumatic adversity.

A spiritual bypassing abandons the physical body; not only of the individual, but of the community.

The difference between spiritual bypass and somatic strengthening is relational integrity.

Best to ask ourselves every moment: Do we know what that means? And practice it.

Wherever it may be missing, our hardship and suffering is only increased.

Some things, the people around us simply don't know how to do — even if they used to. In order to move forward, we must provide them with a framework they can align themselves to... like tomatoes grow on structures in the garden that help them be upright and fruitful.

If we don't know the form of the structure yet, we can imagine it.

If we cannot yet imagine it...

...we can invite it to arrive for us…

…in some fashion...

...unexpected...

...miracle and blessing.

It will, if we are wise in our practice... and patient.

This sacred discipline is joyfulness.

It is powerful beyond our comprehension.

It is how our living bodies conduct countless somatic operations; sorting out and rearranging and repairing all manner of infinitesimal things without even our conscious awareness.

Life vitality does this.

We are full with it.

It is a simmering cauldron of us.

It is a bubbling, whickering stream.

It is silvery notes of birdsong.

It is the gentle summer breeze.

There is no better way to be.

Reviewing these materials again has been illuminating (and neurologically reparative) for me. These are important subject intersections — to be expounded upon and revisited with frequency.

In the Intuitive network, our discussions here are especially connected with questions we ask ourselves and one another on a continuing basis.
