dear friends, 

the real awakening will only be collective. 

i’ve had some reflections lately while letting myself being touched by what is going on on this planet during these dark times. 

letting myself being touched – this has been a tipping point for me. and here i am, writing this article to inspire you to do the same.

it seems to me that letting ourselves be touched by whatever is happening in Life is key to our personal and collective awakening. 

but what exactly do i mean with letting myself be touched ? it means to open myself up to feel it. to feel it all. to feel the joy and to feel the heart-wrecking pain. 

lately i’ve found myself crying a lot for the pain of occupied land and its abused people. i am talking about p4lest!ne, yes. there’s something special about the resistance of the p4lest!nian people and i am coming to believe that it holds the key to a collective awakening. possibly it is the start of a global revolution. 

and it starts because we can no longer look away. the collective is waking up.

we cannot deny the absolute cruelty and destruction that colonial, imperial capitalism and its regimes of oppression is inflicting on this planet, and especially on p4lest!ne. the numbers and images speak for themselves, with an estimation of over 180.000 people killed over the past 10 months. it’s abuse of power and man-lead gen0cide. 

i am using crypted language because algorithms are set up to make texts containing these words being hidden. silenced.  

the abuse of power in this dark age is in the face of everyone. here and now, we are to make a choice: are we gonna look at it, ugly and terrible as it is, or are we going to look away and let it perpetuate the violence? 

the system will want you to look away into some empty content on your screen, isolating you from what is happening around you, creating a society of empty heads and controlled bodies. 

are you going to join the resistance? 

are you going to let yourself be touched by the pain of awakening ? 

i’ve always been very honest in my blog – awakening to the Truth can be terribly painful. all those things you’d rather not look at, coming up and asking you to be acknowledged. thoughts, emotions, memories… everything that was hidden in some dark place to never be seen, remembered or felt ever again, coming up like a zombie to be seen, remembered and felt. 

it can be scary and difficult. 

this is why real awakening can only be collective – we need to stand together. we need support. we need community network.

human beings were never meant to live individualist lifestyles. we were born in tribes and life in communities is our own nature. 

in community we find the support that inspires and gives us the strength and hope to keep going.

hundreds, thousands of years of a capitalist colonial system have separated us, teaching “this is mine, don’t take it” – “i don’t have what you have, i’ll take it from you” – “there’s us, and then there’s them, and we’re better than them” – “your diversity upsets me, i’ll get rid of you”.

this is what we are seeing right now. a system so rotten that billions of people worldwide are enslaved to it so that the few, privileged ones can supposedly enjoy its perks. 

what is the price that the privileged are paying? this is what i ask. how must it feel to go to sleep having your hands full of blood? 

they look away. that’s what they all do. and that’s what we all do when we buy things from companies that we deep down know are not respecting neither human rights nor the environment. 

how much blood do we have to have on our hands before we wake up? 

and what will happen when we wake up? we will be touched. 

we will be touched by the pain we’ve inflicted and the pain we’ve ignored. 

we will also be touched by the beauty of life and by the power of forgiveness. we will be touched by a love so big that it can heal it all. 

there’s no awakening if we do not let ourselves be touched. 

so let it touch you.

look at it, acknowledge it: we are letting children and all kinds of innocent people be killed everyday. in the name of what? a sick, rotten machine called capitalism (they need to sell their bombs).

let the pain touch you. let it break the armour of your heart. let it break you into pieces – don’t fight it. don’t fight the love that is entering your heart. let it touch you. 

something happens everything we let ourselves be touched. the broken armour will allow us to see the beautiful light that had previously been hidden. and when your light and my light and the light of all of those who are doing the work will start to shine, we will gain power. 

will you join the resistance? will you join the awakening? 

if you think there’s nothing you can do to stop the abuse – think again. you can stop letting your energy be abused – you can step into your power and choose who you want to be. 

one you start waking up, action will arrive. there’s actually a lot we can do: donate, boycot, raise awareness, join protests. stop thinking you’re small. start building communities, together we are louder.

will you join the resistance? ‘cause i am here and we’re growing stronger. 

real awakening can only be collective.

it helps no one to sit in your room and meditate if you are not letting your heart be touched by pain and beauty, by death and life. there’s something beyond all of this crazy chaos, there’s a peace beyond life and death, right and wrong, that can only found when we let ourselves be touched. 

will you join the resistance of the heart?
