Freedom Rally for IRAN in memory of #MahsaAmini

Based on a conversation with Tom Eddington, Tezikah Gabriel, Niki Kashtan, Banafsheh Sayyad celebrating Rumi's birthday.

Emotions are energy in motion. For decades I've been in motion, marching, standing up for Earth in all ways and places, that my voice can be heard. What harms Earth harms me. What harms me, harms you. How do we shift the system of energy being fed into our relations to a system of connectedness? How do we bring about the new Earth Story? Shifting from me to we is naturally a connective communication. May we clearly demand equality in the United States of America. Pass ERA.

Today there is Heart Math research that reports our heart rate variable is a measurement of our resonant state. With each beat is an electromagnetic charge. This is the full force of our charge, affecting those around us, aligning them with us or not. In coherence others are magnetically attracted to us. One by one we lift peace into our places. 

Held together by gravity,  a quantum field of a consciousness Xperience the whole can be accessed from the singular fractal. Acting from this gives us the genesis of the new old story of Earth. Shemanity is on our way. From the energy of peace, staring at a reflective lake, no story works unless we live from the biology of love.

We bring life through maternal gifts, with interdependence on others who gave to us unilaterally when we could not give back. How might our entire human family, in reverence for life, root a new possibility, maybe even a probability, that we are granular in our caring for each other before patriarchy & the "having" destroyed our full force of choice? Walk with me, toward each other. Something is needed. I offer what I can for that need to be addressed. Let us improve our info flow. From control/domination to transparency, we might recalibrate our kaleidoscope of unity. Shifting conflict engagement from consequences to capacity to solve ever more complex challenges.

How might we (shemanity) rely on the soft qualities of courage (vulnerability), truth (humility), and love (mourning) choose togetherness, and flow? We need to mourn where we are now while holding the vision of a shared flow of resources rather than the Xtracting at the cost of the other. It includes a bolder we, a profoundly loved and included we. 

Conspiring (breathing with) for mutual support, how might we breathe together for the greatest good? For years white-tailed deer would gather outside my large windowed shower. They would gather to enter our human neighborhood. I felt their unseen breathing in moments of stillness. I observed by "being-with" rather than "doing-for" in those moments. Simply sharing that moment, with no agenda, we activated by doing absolutely nothing. We were being with: human and deer together, resonant.

What higher level of frequency might I carry when I am the space for the full potential of the other, the divine flow? The daily regular dance with deer, delivered a dissolved sense of separateness, into the greater one with them, everything, energy moving through. This is the beautiful inaction, the being oneness together in the same moment. Natures conditions for life are deeply torn. Individually, might I stay small and yet well-connected inside and out?

What is the question that will bring us together? What could work for everyone? What is most important in this moment?

Conflict can yield new ways of doing things, including diverse views. Instead of fearing change, we might embrace the capacity to be greater together in our individual gifts and talents. Choice within togetherness, so autonomy and togetherness are not at odds with each other. Rather togetherness Xpands our resolutions.

LOVE transforms, drives togetherness, and sources fields of intelligence in so many Xpressions. Instead of "either/or" we choose "yes &." Weak resolution is binary where the whole becomes less so the conflicted individual chooses leaving. When nothing is private, everything impacts the whole. Secrets can not abide by transparency. We transcend patriarchy of control to a shemanity of free choice. I commend Silvia Federici's "Re-enchanting the World" or "Caliban and the Witch": the horrific bloody 200 hundred years that yielded capitalism.

I affirm linking with compassion & pain for the rights of women around the world. Nonviolence is essential for us to remember forward our finer futures. How might we subdue the fascination of the seen-mass media? IRAN is the Persian place Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī called home. Iranian women call for a new story of governance.

See what is happening tomorrow, October 1, in solidarity for IRAN around the world. Is the 22-year-old Kurdish woman walking in an unfamiliar part of IRAN being beaten to death for wearing her hijab improperly a "George Floyd moment" of noticing, mattering, revolution-making? Mahsa Amini, (initials MA-mother speaking directly to humans frozen within injustice everywhere) we feel your pain. We hear your suffering for all of you imprisoned. We see the unfairness. Your name means life. We awaken with you and your fellow Iranians. #MahsaAmini  #IranProtests October 1 is the Global Day of Action for Iran.

You report the country feels like prison anyway. We are being asked to show up, stand up, speak up. Still together might we amplify and hold to account this catastrophe of governance for all places? Violence begets more violence. Might we lead through nonviolence beyond anger and angst to unify our whole humanity for a quantum jump up in governance? Where is your inner superpowered shero to bring the soft skills informed by former violent attempts for new stories in Iran and around the world? Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan are the seat of patriarchy. Evolve togetherness, peace, vision for a focused movement toward a wise matriarchy to emerge.

We can not undo the master's world using the master's tools. For Rumi, how might we live & love on his 875th bEARTHday today? What are we uniting for? What are we waiting for? The glimmer of vision in IRAN: WOMEN. FREEDOM. LIFE.
