Once upon our time, in the consumer kingdom of Quickfix, there was a sinister ruler called Inadequacy.
Equipped with all the power of psychological manipulation that modern technology offers, Inadequacy slowly infiltrated the minds of the people and they forgot how magical they were on their own. . .so they went shopping.
They filled the emptiness that Inadequacy had carved out in their souls with everything they were convinced would work.
Inadequacy’s drones were really good at taking things from the Earth and sucking out the magic by processing, packaging. . .until everyone became very sleepy and forgot about all the miraculous stuff that they were made out of. . .until. . .
The good ruler Imagination, who had been put to sleep by Inadequacy with a mysterious potion called Greed, suddenly awoke.
This awakening was very special because it didn’t happen on top of a mountain in a castle, it happened inside the people and they quickly became excited about the colours and shapes that had been building up inside of them all along- they got even more excited when they found out that they could keep drawing on creative juices and never run out. . .in fact, the more they used, the more there was!
(The moral of this story is:)
Images are more than meets the eye.
As consumer marketing players know well, images are tools of connection.
In the world of products and consumers, artists are used by those profiting to build momentum for things they want so sell us.
It’s too bad that we don’t get to know about how most of the stuff that we take into our lives was made- usually because we’re consuming so many of these products every day that there’s no way we could keep track of it all.
The thing is, the corporations that are making the crappy stuff they're selling usually don’t want us to know how their it was made because we might not buy it if we did (let alone take it into our bodies!).
One key advantage that corporations have over consumers is that, because we only react to the circumstances of the society we find ourselves in, we don’t realize how different this way of living is from everything our species has ever known. . . our bodies (that are still very biologically rooted to naturally connected circumstances) are so confused!
How are we supposed to connect with our own life cycle when we’re not connected to the life cycles of the things we’re made of and surround ourselves by?
So, we try to feed ourselves with lots of things to try and numb our confusion- products and conveniences that we first thought would improve the quality of our lives but have since replaced our sense of worth, and are now causing us all to suffer the consequences of over-consumption.
Thankfully, the wisdom of our ancestors, who healed by cultivating their connection to the creative instinct, is still deeply rooted in us.
This instinct, from which our physical bodies were borne and will one day return, carries the potent healing powers of natural cycles - medicine that reaches down to the root of our imbalance and gently but powerfully nurtures the particular growth that each of us needs.
