The Free Radical

Granted, it’s a big topic for such a small mushroom… but appearances can be deceiving.

To me it’s the picture of nurturance– a symbolic micro-reality. It had this to say:

“Tyranny has been institutionalized in systems outside of your human makeup.

“And freedom is first found in chaos.

“Oneness– or unity– is achieved through the dedication of individuals to their own inherent integrity.”

(It might be best to reread those statements a few times in order to let them truly sink in.)

“You are the creators of your own micro-realities. It is as though each of you lives within your own shimmering bubble, reflecting your unique colours. It has always been thus, but such has been obscured by your manipulated dedication to dead external systems. You have denied yourselves at a very fundamental level in order to assimilate into the institutions which drive the civilized world. Tyranny does not– cannot– recognize you. You must claim your own immaculate reality!

“Start small. Do not concern yourselves with forming intricate systems and networks; they will form in due time of their own accord once you have verified yourselves to yourselves.

“Through choice you define where you– the sovereign actor– ends and the theatre begins. The role you play from now on is solely one of your own making. It need not assimilate into decaying systems; indeed, it would be foolish to do so.

“Stand tall and fully enlivened in your chosen roles. Unity will be paradoxically achieved through maximum diversity; it is Nature’s way. If you find it uncomfortable to stand alone in your integrity… merge with Nature. Her systems are proven and ever viable. She will make room for your unique contribution, your quirks, your strange beauty.

“The New Earth is one of countless micro-realities choosing to co-operate. Get your own ‘house’ in order; that is all that is required of you. Together we are heading into uncharted territory– in a million directions at once… and you need not follow anything other than your own heart’s true desire.

“Do no harm… and your own highest good serves the highest good of all!”
