Just This! Reweaving a World in Crisis

Just This! is a combination of rational, visceral and spiritual responses to Western civilization gone so wrong, seen through the unsparing eye of non-duality. Non-duality is a world-as-subject, a single seamless, relational attunement to co-creation, communalism and self-regulation. Non-duality is the ground of a culture of life.It transcends binaries, hierarchies, and the illusion of separation. The Western order lives in a polar universe, depends on the infrastructure of certainty and relentless gestures of aggrandizement. The economic system pursues yield in ever more aggressive, intrusive, controlling and extractive ways to achieve growth at the deepening expense of equality, rights, health, safety and ecological resilience. Material commitments to future generations find no footing here. The drumbeat of collapse meets increasingly rigid, shrill, aggressive and authoritarian denial. Beyond ideology, supremacy and the self-made fortress of an objectified world lies a new vision. Just This! explores the micro-and the macro experience of non-duality as the weave of a different world. Just This! reviews vulnerability as the missing heart of law; property as rupture; finance as the neocolonial web of empire; sovereignty as the grasping self; migration as planetary metabolism, climate change as a mirror of the human identity crisis. All is seen through the eyes of non-dual 'tough love.' Countering the self-terminating worldview is an uprising seeking a new balance, felt and nurtured in the hearts and hands of global, multigenerational dreams and collaborations. As we enter a Fire-Horse year, a harbinger of awakening, the immense vitality to spiritual transformation is afoot; a surge of karmic energy leans into integration and alignment of polar archetypes bedeviling humanity for all of history. The uprising lives in relational flux, a fluid field of discovery where boundaries are mutable and certainty is short-lived. It steps beyond the categorizations of race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and even species. Can such a vision revitalize a world so removed from nature, from its own nature? Who must we become to realize the seamless, fearless and compassionate character of the non-dual heart? Just this! is the call of the moment. A thousand generations await. Let us become ancestors worthy of their regard.
