Independence Day & Freedom beyond a dominance reaction ⛓️‍💥

The United States of America is a complicated institution, to say the least. 🇺🇸😬 We built our identity upon notions of freedom while in myriad ways building our infrastructure upon enslavement. ⛓️

The celebration of independence feels a particularly American, western, modern, and masculine triumph, and I do want to honor the undulations of evolution as it weaves from inhale to exhale and back again, from dissolution in the chasm of inchoate pre-determination, to the individuated striving and self-determined expression of the enlightenment-era, the modern mind, and the particulated entity, and back again. ⚕️We grow as a species in nutations; interrelated axial, apsidial and nodal precessions as we evolve 🌀

So this triumph of independence has warranted its celebration 🥳 as a part of the magnificent and ultimately neutral cycle, and yet, due to the bias of the consciousnesses we hold which are all, in part, inevitably products of their time 🕰️ we HAVE seen independence as relative to the hostile dissolution from which a righteous independence emerges. We have equated independence with freedom, because we’ve equated the superposition of the unexpressed with a silencing oppression. The consciousnesses with which we perceive it to be thus can only perpetuate such schematics. 🧠🔄⛓️

Are we perhaps becoming ready to perceive in a new way, through a newly evolving consciousness which no longer requires the dichotomous paradigm of oppressor and oppressed from which to foil its narrow sense of freedom? Might we be readying the collective body, cell by cell, towards an embrace of the infinite power of quantum superposition and also inhabit that sacred space in sovereignty, without needing to wrench free and find a limited sense of liberty in an isolated independence? 🎟️

What a time it is to be alive.

To be a cell, awakening to both its sovereignty within the trustworthy integrity of its cell walls, and its inclusion and participation in the organism, which is in turn awakening, cell by cell. 🌿
