“Our awareness of our own heartbeat, and its relation to our mother’s, was our first song—and, all of this, part of the deep origins of the rhythms of the Heavenly Music that guides us in our great shared cosmic dance."
A powerful perspective from which to think about abortion.
Yes. I find the practice—like the practice of war—repugnant, but believe that the choice should not be made by the state in either case—rather by the woman and her doctor in the one and by the people in their entirety in the other. If we all could turn towards living with the Earth, rather than seeking to dominate Her—if we could overcome the politics of egotism—I think both war and abortion would be rare.
Agree <3 on both points. In fact I stated something very similar to Peter about how rape is the same whether women, children or the earth - it is one expression of a disregard for the sacredness of life, of domination. In a world without domination, without rape and in communities where women are reverenced and babies welcome; with plenty of arms for childcare, where there is little trauma and no addiction, it would be highly rare for a woman to want to terminate a pregnancy - also, I sense women would know how to effectively control their fertility without the need for a doctor.
When you talk about global knowledge, I like how you clarify what you mean but it, but the term “global knowledge” carries a bit of the weight of globalism and transnational governance including all the technocratic tech-no-logic slavery models. I’d love to see an exploration of terms that speak more elementally to the organic embodied wisdom that you are speaking of, which generally has been safeguarded by Indigenous Traditions much better than nationalistic or transnational models, including all the isms, which I see as the false forms of some underlying truth…<3
Yes—global knowledge is perhaps a bit of a provocation but in part that is deliberate as a direct criticism of the advocates of what i call “false universalisms” who pretend to a global view but do not actually offer such. I think of Jesus Christ as offering genuine global knowledge but i think of Christianity, and especially euro Christianity, as a false universalism. In other words, i think Christ was—and is—opposed to domination but all those who see themselves as Christians (unless they are willing to see Christ in all living beings) are likely—more or less overtly—to be supportive of some version of dominationist politics. Of course i agree with you that the peoples of the Native Nations have been—and are—the best keepers of global knowledge (and local knowledge too).
I get where you are coming from! I am in my little echo chamber over here and everyone I know loves Christ/Yeshua in the way that/We do, and I think that needs to be restored by being SEEN. Christ-ianity means Christ-like. So if they aren’t being like Christ - they’re not Christians. Their own book says you will know them by their fruit. It’s a conundrum, but a worthy conversation! <3 <3!!
In essence, how would you harness modern technology to make a truly free society where the peoples voices are the ones truly deciding policy and not just which butt occupies a position? How might you include the people in choosing appointees, for example? How would a world look where everyone could choose what to fund or not fund and even whether or not to be a citizen with its benefits and obligations?
There is so much goodness and depth here, Steven - I love and appreciate your sharing about the shift that is possible from aggressor to protector in the masculine energies - such a needed transformation, and I find an important distinction between protector in service to the feminine (within oneself or another) and presumptiveness or patriarchy, as we can see…on right is open aggression, but the left the patriarchalism of enforcing social good in the name of the greater good became quite disturbing to me, as you are aware. I also appreciate you further clarifying the particular variant of Christianity that went whole hog horrifying…I still have a hard time with the term euro-Christian as my belief is the original Christian teachings were literally the opposite of domination, whether you take it from the gospels (He chose the cross/resurrection over worldly power when tempted) or from the teachings of Issa and the Claire Heartsong channels of Grandmother Anna and the Magadalenes. I see this as critical because the binary of Christianity = domination forms the bedrock of appealing to liberty seekers who are drawn to Luciferian traditions which at the outset seem to offer freedom from domination, while God is viewed as a dominator and an enemy….at the outer levels you find all the freemasons attracted to fabian socialism, anarchy and communism who are basically good people who want a freer life…but on the inner/higher levels it becomes satanic murder and rape - the inversion of everything Jesus taught. The other day at dinner my family and I were talking about some of the rocks I looked under and found interesting things - including a few about Stelton etc - and I was explaining to my son about how it is actually the freedom to be who you are that people REALLY want -and we are already divine, so there is nothing to seek for that. I love how you emphasize the pre-Christ feminine that is Source before the Light - the Mother Womb of No-Thing that births the Light/AKA the Christ - as I understand it = divinity in form. Are you familiar with the idea of ascending and descending evolutionary paths? Some people choose to evolve from matter into Spirit and others, starting out as Spirit/Light descend into the form to master embodiment. In the Sophia Code the electron is your basic divine inheritance across ALL your lifetimes.
I love the idea that electrons are part of a divine inheritance across lifetimes. My view is that each electron (and all smaller particles) are unique and unique expressions of everything else in the universe. In other words—because we are all made of the same stuff (just arranged differently: spirit, consciousness, energy, and matter {with the latter itself a phase of consciousness})—we are all simultaneously within and among each other. The ascending and descending that I perceive is all within the context of a cosmic dance expressing love; a love with whom we are hopefully in ever increasing alignment as we are loved as we love others.
When you talk about the ambiguous connotations of darkness, alongside the pure Divine Mother ones, it reminds me that the dark and light both have their pure forms and their distorted versions - there is the Black Womb from which comes All Life - and there is the darkness of dark agendas, things contrived in the dark so people won’t see them, the dark side and so on…but just as the Black Womb is the correlate to the Pure Sophia Christ Light, the “evil” dark correlates with the false light and the desire to be separate/brighter than Source, albeit in artificial and dark ways. Tech-no-logi could be seen as false light. So could false universalisms. So could the green agenda that masks things like what d’Errico wrote about up North in Canada with AI. Even the Rainbow can have its pure version or its co-opted version. It can stand for the rainbow light body and the full spectrum of divine light. It can stand for authentic inclusion. But it can also be used to push agendas, to bypass parental rights and the importance of facilitating open communication and to rush kids into decisions that can cost them their lifelong fertility. My own view is that if we accept people truly and have a compassionate society (and get those microplastics and other estrogenic compounds out of the environment) very few people would feel the need to change their body’s physical composition in order to express their authentic an every evolving identity in wholeness.
I'm also very much looking forward to reading all of this article and yes I too often referr back to A Basic Consciousness and one of these days would love to obtain a hard copy of it along with the Arkewansse Notes (I realized I completely fudged the spelling but going out the door) but truly inspired by ALL so compelled to respond! Thank you for reminding me of ALL I love and am a part of ❤
Hi, just following up and seeing if you received my email?
P.S. I have found it extraordinarily difficult to obtain work when one thinks like we do and others like Peter d'Errico and Steven Newcomb, JoDe Goudy, etc! Have any suggestions as I NEED other work in addition to my own.small business! Thank you and I, too, live in Connecticut.
Hi Helena, a copy should have just arrived on your doorstep. Alas, I have no ideas as to where to obtain gainful employment. I am only adjunct faculty myself at this point—very low on the pecking order. I will keep my eyes open, however, and send you anything promising that I see
Hi Steven, I recently been invited to make a speech at the Capital here in Hartford, CT on Tuesday.and I have never made a speech before and beyond terrified and the topic is on affordable housing here in Southbury, CT and as an Original Native person to this continent of Great Turtle Island no w so -called the Americas I find it repudiate on a wh ole another level that I even have to ask talk about this fundamental thing of all being able to have access to affordable housing! I've been reading a "Basic Call to Consciousness" the book You so nicely gifted me and it just doesn't seem that no matter what we Native peoples say or do does a damn thing including and especially at the United Nations level which is something I've always strived to be a part of and work at...it.just all seems so senseless!
I think it seems so senseless because what John Trudell has called “tech-‘no-logic’ civilization” *is* that senseless. But I also think that he is right that life and time—and with them evolution—are on our side. Our responsibility is to align ourselves with the truth that we know in our bones—such as the truth that all are entitled to shelter and food and care and belonging—and be ready for when the eurochristians wake up and need to know that there have been peoples on Turtle Island who have lived in accordance with the truth for millennia. The only advice I know to give you about public speaking is the advice I always receive: take your time and speak slowly; your sincerity will convey itself through your words. I am glad you’re enjoying “A Basic Call…”
I’m not done with the whole article, but I love how your principle greeted you just as a human regardless of all your degrees. It is your lovable quality that your degrees to not hide or obscure your heart.

I’d love to see you expand your practical ideas for enacting a world based on right relations.
If i run i will certainly seek to do so.
In essence, how would you harness modern technology to make a truly free society where the peoples voices are the ones truly deciding policy and not just which butt occupies a position? How might you include the people in choosing appointees, for example? How would a world look where everyone could choose what to fund or not fund and even whether or not to be a citizen with its benefits and obligations?
If you skip, you could also do it and sprinkle them along the path :) ;)
