WORLD FUTURE

Hey Girls, Can We Please Start Birthing the New World?

She is ready to be born!

The time has come. 50 Years ago the seeds have been planted and now the new world wants to be born. So, my sisters, can we please stand up? Forget to work on our image and get some birthing blood on our hands?

We live in a broken world. We see it, don’t we? Everybody is fighting. Everybody knows better. Everybody is addicted to fake and forgot how to live life. Life matters! And life sucks for so many people!

It’s time to get into action and join the wave of change.

Grab your power, feel your strength, and help us birth this new world. Let’s be midwives. Tell the stories that matter. And show that it can be done by walking our talk. All of us.

The problems are big, but the solutions aren’t too difficult. We just have to zoom out. Become eagles. Fly on thermal cycles. See through the mist and do what we are born to do.

It’s up to us now, sisters!

Life Matters

Life matters. Why do we act as if it doesn’t? Why do we walk calmly behind governments that destroy and kill? Why do we work in companies that have made money our God and don’t create more than one value? Why do we shop till we drop, not caring that a girl in Bangladesh is crying over our cheap t-shirts?

Life matters! And life starts with our Mother. Gaia.

Gaia births life. Like we do. Gaia doesn’t fight. Gaia builds. Gaia is intrinsically abundant. And what do we do? We limit the flow of abundance by making business models on scarcity. As if creating money is all that counts.

Don’t we see it? We cannot eat money! We cannot breathe money! We cannot drink money!

So why is clean air not way more important than money for some stupid pair of new shoes? In a different color than the 20 pairs that are already in your cupboard? Why is clean water not way more important than the brand of shampoo that is killing our rivers with life-threatening chemicals?

Why? Why? Why?

Will She Appear? The New World?

Tonight I had a dream. We were all standing at an arched door. Me and my sisters in regenerative practices. The stones were old and worn. But someone cared enough to carve little hearts into the doors.

The door in my dream looked something like this. Bit higher perhaps. Picture: pxhere

We were just standing there. Waiting for her to come out. To be born. The new world. The new reality. Surrounded by the new narratives that matter.

One young girl, with braided hair, started singing. Her high-pitched voice sounded like the notes of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The luring notes fluttered around our heads before the wind took them away.

An older woman joined the singing and soon we were all contributing to the melody. Different voices. Creating a symphony together. We created beauty like I never heard before.

Would the new world dare to come out? Would she feel supported enough to show her face? Would she shed her birthing blood and join us?

She is the wise one.

She is the abundant one.

We only have to learn from her.

Next Steps for All Sisters

So, what can we do? How can we contribute? How can we add our own unique voice to the symphony? There is so much we can do! And many women are already doing it. All with their own unique talents.

So, it’s a matter of connecting to nature, grabbing our power, and walking our talk. We need new leadership, sisters. And you have the power to give just that. Be a leader. In your own family. In your community. And in your workplace.

1. Rewild Our Souls

I think the first step really is to rewild our souls. We need untamed souls daring to speak out. Daring to be different from what is now called ‘normal’. But is in reality destructive and not normal at all.

The women of Tree Sisters are onto it. They build their strength with reciprocity. Receiving the power of meditating with Gaia’s wisdom. And giving back to Mother Nature by reforesting tropical areas. Restoring the lungs of our planet.

Many businesswomen are onto it. Sisters like iCanay, Ilaria Forte, Anna Blume, and Ina Matijević. They are regenerative midwives birthing the new world. Building businesses that matter. They are strong voices holding the space for communities to flourish. They teach. They inspire. They find the new narratives and spread them.

2. Wake Up and Learn

The time has come to wake up and learn. To see the new world in all her glory as a shimmer on the horizon. And find the path towards this new world. The transition is definitely possible. We just need to want it badly enough.

We can start by making our lives more simple. With less stuff. And more abundance in love, connections, and magical experiences.

We can stop shouting our non-constructive opinions. We can stop judging others and start to change our own and our family’s lives with wisdom.

We can be silent and observe. We can be immensely curious. We can ask a question with every choice we make in a day.

Does this support life?

We’ll find out that many everyday patterns in our wired brains do not support life. They destroy. They don’t leave space for other humans. Let alone other species. Whereas everybody deserves life. And most important of all, Gaia deserves life.

3. Head, Heart, and Hands

If we feel with our head and think with our hearts, our hands will be creating beautiful things.

Stop fighting. It blocks the flow of life.

Start birthing. And be the change.

Be a creator instead of a consumer. Many sisters on this platform are writers. Please, start writing the stories that matter. Stop writing about the next beauty-hack or get-rich-quick-scheme. And tell it for what it is. Write with your heart. Get the birthing stories out there.

In sisterhood, we’ll never be lonely. We support each other, no matter what. We will weep with each other’s pain. And celebrate each other’s successes.

Mother Nature will be at our feet. Giving us wisdom and energy from below. So that we can spend those wisely. For transition. And love.

And if you want more wisdom in your male-dominated world, consider finding wisdom from some wise women-writers out there. Rebecca Stevens A. Kaia Maeve Tingley Yael Wolfe Rebecca Romanelli Jessica Wildfire Britni Pepper Tree Langdon Selma Keno Ogbo Dipti Pande CR Mandler MAT and others. They will fill your world with inspiration. Make it easier to grab your power, get out there, and dare. Show up. Take action. Do.
