This is great! I was taught as a child to think for myself (thank you Mama) and it took growing up to realize how rare that is. Most (well, I will be generous and say many) people want to be to told what to think, what to believe and what to do. This seems easier but the results are the mechanical, destructive, fear based living that we see all around us. No Thank you. Now to live authentically as an individual is no small matter To do so and not be in simple reactivity or rebellion against established order hierarchy organization etc. is in my experience the key to true creativity and freedom in life and living. To cooperate with existing structures can be super useful and often simply necessary, but to do so consciously and with life supporting intent is truly radical and frankly quite unusual, but then I find myself in both categories: truly radical and quite unusual. LOL ;-) So Happy to Be here :-)
Interesting….new to Substack myself, like today. I’ve purchased from you in the past and have found it helpful. Curious as to where this platform will lead. Your content sounds rich…
