I’d like to issue a friendly greeting to my subscribers, aka seekers, aka fellow Divine Human Beings who have decided to join me here on the joyous quest of exploration of both our internal and external worlds.
Hello and welcome! I thank you for your company on this adventure.
I sense that this is the right time to expand some more on the motivation that led me to begin this Substack.
My desire here is to create a cozy space that invites free and authentic expression. All ideas are welcome because I believe it is in the very act of tossing them around under the scrutiny of careful consideration and thoughtful examination that we slough away the dirt- that which does not serve us- to uncover buried gems of knowledge and wisdom that elevate us into alignment with Source.
Picture my channel as a room with a fireplace and fluffy pillows, dim lighting and soothing music. Maybe a cat or two or ten purring away in the corner.
Now that the ambience in the room has been set, let’s continue…
Why the title POST Post Modern?
Good question!
I’ll tell you why.
But first, a little nod to Post-modernism.
“What you believe is true for you.”
I discovered this concept decades ago in one of the countless self-help books I digested along the first few miles of my seeking path. It was probably inside a Wayne Dyer or Bruce Lipton book where I first read it~ or perhaps it was both! Either way, having now lived with this understanding of the nature of reality for as long as I have, I can affirm its veracity.
There is no doubt that our perception of reality is largely subjective.
Score 1:0 for the Post-modernists. ;)
The distinct set of beliefs we each hold shapes our perception of the world and therefore determines our behaviours within it and our responses to it accordingly. Our beliefs form the lens through which we filter and interpret all that happens. And we (most often) respond to these external conditions with reactions that induce more experiences that then reinforce our beliefs. Essentially, we end up proving ourselves “right”- whether or not these beliefs are held consciously or unconsciously and whether or not they support our growth and well-being.
The Placebo Effect phenomenon alone is enough to demonstrate just how much power our beliefs hold over our physical reality. Demi from Starfire Codes recently wrote an excellent piece about that here.
Soon enough, our Operating System goes on autopilot, acting as a feedback loop that steadily entrenches patterns of beliefs and behaviours that can last a lifetime- one that looks like a string of groundhog days- until a choice is made to interrupt the cycle by installing a new program. However, since we are designed to filter out all that does not support our beliefs this can be easier said than done. Once our thesis is formed from a very early age (“I’m not worthy of love”, “I suck at life”, “I am not free”) and we unknowingly spend our lives in pursuit of evidence to support it, it can be incredibly difficult to distinguish our programming and identify our adopted OS (beliefs), let alone cultivate the drive, skills and know-how to install an upgrade.
Auto-pilot-mode to us is like water to a fish.
Until we become aware of the subconscious internal mechanism that fuels our subjective self-derived experiences, we will naturally assume that we are all experiencing the same reality simply because our senses create the believable illusion that we are all living in the exact same world.
I believe it is this false presumption that is so easily and, might I say, masterfully exploited by those who seek to Divide & Conquer us. Through ongoing efforts to maintain control over outcomes, societal chaos is manufactured to purposefully cloud our vision, to disorient us from finding our True North, and to prevent us from taking up the reins of destiny into our own hands.
But where are these reins and how do we pick them up?
How do we even know the reins exist at all?
Every piece of art contains the artist within it.
Over many years of rabbit-hole diving, I’ve entertained with earnest interest a variety of theories about where and what this Earth really is. For me, the jury is still out and may be on permanent vacation. It’s a simple fact: I will never see the entire world we inhabit with my own eyes and so I have chosen to embrace the mystery. Whether we live inside a spaceship, a hollow earth, a holographic simulation or on a ball or flat plane, it is clear to me that all life-forms are existing as some things in some construct that is somewhere. Perhaps we will never really know where we are for certain. But there are clues as to where we came from….
Every construct requires a constructor. Every creation a creator.
It’s impossible to fully separate a thing from its Source.
And all things are connected.
This logic led me to the creation of Post Post Modern.
I wrote this in my About section:
“If post-modernism proposes that “everything is a social construct” then post-post-modernism is the belief that SOMETHING must be left standing when all that’s false has fallen, lifeless, to the ground….
Post Post Modern is about the quest to discover what is really real?
YOU are real after all…aren’t you?
So if the only way out is in…then in we must go!
Our creator has left clues for us within the creation to guide us back home. By being “guided back home” I mean that these clues or instructions exist as objective truths hidden within our subjective experience that teach or inspire us to become a match vibrationally to our Source. The REAL inside the construct.
The “thing” left standing when all has fallen away is YOU.
You hold the keys. You hold the reins.
You gain access to them by seeking to know yourself.
And up until just over a month ago I was content, as I always have been, with focusing on the process of my Self discovery, excavating layer upon layer, stripping off the cloaks of my conditioning and working my way down to eventually striking the core of gold at my center.
But we are all connected.
And I see that many of my brothers and sisters, aka “spirits disguised as humans” are suffering from severe bouts of amnesia to the point of being disheartened, depressed, defeated more often than they are existing as the enlivened, empowered and energized sparks of light they were born to be…
…that so many have lost connection with their sense of wonder, of faith, of joy, with their creative power, with their freedom to CHOOSE where to focus and what to believe….
They’ve not only lost hold of the reins, but they’ve completely forgotten they came into this world with them in hand; a birthright of sovereignty, as true as our first breath and heartbeat.
I created this channel as my way to be of service in a time of need; to hold the ground and reflect soothing frequencies through the aether via language and music; to offer up soul-food to feast on; to send out signals in the noise; to provide a how-to guide that helps those who need it to put those reins right back where they belong.
What you believe is true for you.
While there are as many variations of beliefs as there are people, this one fact about the Nature of Reality remains a constant. It is an objective truth hidden inside a subjective user-based reality.
It is a master key to the many locks that imprison our minds.
We are all born free to believe whatever we choose. In fact, “we are so free we can choose bondage”, a phrase made popular by Abraham Hicks. Sadly, we are conditioned heavily to accept whatever degree of enslavement we are born into and so we numb ourselves with apathy by claiming “it’s just the way things are”.
If you believe you are a free-spirited sovereign spark of the Divine~ then you ARE.
You will wake up each morning knowing breath is a blessing, you will know your worthiness and as a being connected to your Source you will embody love and experience the world as a mirror of your reflection.
If you believe you are an enslaved victim of evil overlords ~ then you ARE.
You will wake up each day dreading the things you fear, feeling powerless to change the course of your life, looking for external causes to blame for how miserable you feel, and experience the world as a mirror of your reflection.
If you believe the end is already written and the prophecies are coming true~ then you will experience your world as apocalyptic and scary.
If you believe that your story is still being written with every breath you take, every thought you think and every word you speak, you will live a life continually connected with Source and tapped into the delicious power that creates worlds.
It is your choice, so choose wisely.
be great
love Jacqueline
wowza, this is so cool to come and read this tonight.. it's a bit of a summary of our chat, and I am so glad to revisit your journey more thoroughly by reading your thoughts here! I totally resonate. I so appreciate your perspective and like I said when we talked, that you have definitely given me some good ideas as I move forward, or ahead or onward. This is so much fun!! I love synchronicity.
While I largely agree with your article, I have doubt regarding your statement "There is no doubt that our perception of reality is entirely subjective." I you changed the word "entirely" with "largely" I would have less doubt.
