We, Tea Co!

 The most important thing that we can do as a species is to bring awareness to Wetiko, the mind virus, the soul destroyer, the source by which evil, war, deception and greed manifest. Jung called it the “seed of evil,” the Gnostics refer to it as the archons. It has also been called, nearly a century ago, “totalitarian psychosis,” a very relevant way to describe its expression today. t is a non-local quantum force in superposition that might be considered the polar opposite of the force that animates life.

Of course, you can deny its existence. These things will continue to happen whether or not you believe in it. But once we recognize its influence we can begin to bring an end to this needless suffering, and the longer we go without recognizing Wetiko the more chance it has to sink its tendrils into the human subconscious and cause us to harm ourselves and others while we believe we are doing good.
“Wetiko is a cannibalizing force driven by insatiable greed, appetite without satisfaction. Consumption as an end in itself, war for its own sake, against tribes, individuals, and even our own humanity. “
It is the primary destructive and disharmonizing force. One of the best ways to counteract it is to express ourselves creatively without hindrance.
Wetiko is the source that causes us to separate from our true nature at an early age, for it’s only when we are separated from our real nature that we will do so many of these things that harm us and harm others. It is a non-local force that manifests both internally and external. Much like the human will, or desire, or resistance, it often operates through the psyche. The main difference between wetiko and these other forces is that it obscures itself and operates autonomously through us, fooling us into identifying with it.
Finally there are a number of people creating a common language to describe this invisible, omnipresent entity that both creates and consumes suffering in our world. Only by having the courage to recognize Wetiko - the blindness that believes itself to be more sighted than those who see clearly and yet obscures our own being from ourselves - and it’s lust for separation, negative emotions, and polarization can we shine light up on it.
Now is the time to do it. Never before has the world being so polarized, so separated, so filled with fear and anxiety. Wetiko is at an all you can eat buffet and growing stronger and larger... so large that it may very well expose itself to enough of us that we can free ourselves from it.
Everything casts a shadow. Be it a stone, a forest, an idea, a philosophy, a society, all things cast a shadow wherein light is obscured. Us, as humans, are ourselves a shadow of our own highest ideal.

Releasing Global Judgment

Image
The next step for many of us seems to be detaching from the judgments that we have placed upon the world, upon society, and upon others. This is the only logical step because the truth of the matter is that when we judge another we're really just judging another facet of ourselves. That's for a different discussion though. Who of us haven't found ourselves gawking in disgust, horror, or anger at the news? Who hasn't at least had a passing thought about how they hate war, about how things are so terrible, or about how evil the people perpetrating these atrocities are? If we didn't at least some anger toward the things happening world, well, we'd be pretty darn apathetic. But now it's time to let these judgments pass, for that's all they are. Judgment only serves to further separate us from others - even a so-called 'justified' judgment, such as claiming that we're better than someone because we'd never do the same things as ...

Releasing the Mind & Body

Image
It usually hurts to release something. Getting rid of something - a habit, an emotional trait, a belief - almost always hurts because it feels like you're trading  something for nothing. No matter how healthy or unhealthy the behavior or habit is, be it an addiction or a tendency to smile when you see birds, releasing anything can be tough because, at least for a moment, you feel like you have less than you did before. One trades the sensation of fullness for the sensation of being empty. For this reason, many have a hard time 'letting go' of things like unhealthy relationships, addictions, or habitual behavior. After a time, they begin to identify with it and tend to protect or deny it. The important thing to recognize here is that releasing something creates room for an infinite multitude of possibilities. Sure, when you release something, you're left feeling like an empty void. In that void, though, lies the unlimited and unmanifested potential of your min...

A Devolving Culture

BREAKING NEWS: Humanity rapidly devolves into a primitive herd mentality, completely suspending free speech and critical thinking for fear of being exiled from the global community Perhaps the most disappointing and concerning experience I had this week during my trip to Fairy Creek actually had very little to do with the protest itself. Rather, it was a confrontation that I had with two local seniors who combined forces in n effort to both belittle me and validate one another's fragile and baseless worldview. Most likely you've all seen how quickly out of hand arguments can get on controversial Facebook posts. Trolls, as they're called, tend to spew unfounded claims, accusations, and senseless drivel. Uninterested in having a productive conversation or learning anything new, their sole purpose is to assert a single, rigid viewpoint and shove it in as many people's faces as they can, even when their claims are disproven, their 'facts' are corrected, and their a...
