Just as there was no coming back “to normal” from the Covid-19 pandemic… there might be no coming back from this moment socially, politically, economically, ecologically, informationally, technologically… I’m talking true collapse. ⚫ What happens when our own depravity and systemic failure to achieve justice is staring us in our arrogant faces? What happens when reality-defining authorities lose their legitimacy? When that which is suppressed in order to maintain the status quo, comes irreversibly to light? When dependendable, if not consensual, mutual reality fractures? > **[Reality is Breaking](https://charleseisenstein.substack.com/p/reality-is-breaking)** > > The Epstein files do not represent a scandal to be managed. Into the in-between, the not-yet-known, the “cracks” (Bayo Akomolafe), we can cast seeds for how to re-organize what’s here. We can turn the raw material of failed systems into nutrient-rich fertilizer 💀 —and energetically re-grow toward the more liveable, desirable futures available to us in imagination, _and in practice._ Specifically, moving toward “the more beautiful world our heart knows is possible.” (Eisenstein) The cracking of the old order doesn’t only mean _regression_ is ahead. It also means: prophetic _reality-remaking_ is present. Calling awakened artists, thinkers, writers, prophesiers, dreamers, and doers… I think it’s our time to shine, this is our moment to make cultural impact that might—nay, will—alter history. 🌠 And I think Cosmos Co-op would be a great platform from which to broadcast _ **bold, honest, poetic truths into the gaps** _—to really _address_ what’s on the other side of the collapse of maps/stories-of-self. What can be done with the raw matter of chaos—to weave it into even greater, more life-affirming harmony. And also I feel Cosmos Co-op offers a great platform for engaging in the _practices_ and cultural patterning essential to fostering _thriving, aware communities_ that are the actual _collective embodiment of alternatives._ Charles Eisenstein has been an influence on my heart and mind for over 15 years. Would love to discuss this article with this community. Thanks @colinkarewa for sharing this article with me! ---

Charles has been a great influence on me as well…here is the article I wrote in response to his: > **[Parentless Space: The Edge We Are Actually On](https://surfthespiral.substack.com/p/parentless-space-the-edge-we-are)** > > In response to Charles Eisenstein’s “Reality is Breaking” ---

Ooh, I LOVE the framing of society entering “parentless space”… and how this can precipitate regression amidst a power void, or, creative stabilization through a new, shared logic. It is so exciting to think of the potentials embodied in an emergence (under duress!) of what you call _adult consciousness_… that this could be the answer to a unifying, stabilizing, yet decentralized cultural force. For those of us who’ve actually matured—cleaning up messes is not a problem filled with great resentment, the way it might be for an adolescent. It’s just what we must do. With calm and clarity, I cannot wait for the moment when the adults in the room just say “OK—that’s enough now. It’s time for repair. It’s time for clean up. It’s time to stop acting like entitled children. It’s time for something different that’s life-affirming and sustainable.” So many of us yearn for that… and I wonder who will be the ones to step up and assert it. ---

Here’s a recent piece that traces a philosophical lineage behind the that same breakdown you are talking about, @care_save: > **[Transhumanism, Wetiko, and the Parasites Consuming Our Future](https://omniharmonic.substack.com/p/transhumanism-wetiko-and-the-parasites)** > > The Spiritual War Behind Our Political Circus We have to recognize “conceptual malware” for what it is—and build our _co-immunity_. It seems also, in some situations, we have to _re-parent_ ourselves, or provide the parenting we didn’t receive growing up—from our biological parents or from our culture. @andreavdl writes about this in her book as an important dimension of her healing. When these issues are not resolved, we never really grow up and keep looking outside ourselves for parental figures. Grist for a future Café? ---
