Living in the Gap - the most insightful conversation on how I work A very deep conversation with Oonagh Browne who constantly translates the gap to me. I think it's part of her life purpose here for me and others like me. An Edmund Hillary Fellow (EHF). A being I am so grateful for! A being who translates how I don't have the same in-body experience - how I'm plugged in but almost manifest experiences to be able to channel being human here - to see it through other people's human experience. The conditions they impose. I often manifest these situations to be able to get words onto the page. It's not always easy but then nothing worth creating ever is. ... having people value me for who I truly make it possible for me to continue. Makes the dreams of my inner and outer worlds possibly match someday... Oonagh's website - https://www.thecacaoambassador.comAlso the longest podcast I have ever recorded! And I wanted a sign to put this out - it rained feathers outside my windows this morning- I have never seen anything like it .... there must be 30 feathers on the ground outside my door now.

I want us to integrate our inclusive ways ... those parts of ourselves we have been battling to represent... to have heard To quote Mary Robison's inauguration Speach which was read out to me on the Hill of Uisneach yesterday https://uisneach.ie "The recent revival of an old concept of the Fifth Province expresses this emerging Ireland of tolerance and empathy. The old Irish term for province is coicead, meaning a “fifth”; and yet, as everyone knows, there are only four geographical provinces on this island. So where is the fifth? The Fifth Province is not anywhere here or there, north or south, east or west. It is a place within each one of us — that place that is open to the other, that swinging door which allows us to venture out and others to venture in. Ancient legends divided Ireland into four quarters and a “middle,” although they differed about the location of this middle or Fifth Province. While Tara was the political centre of Ireland, tradition has it that this Fifth Province acted as a second centre, a necessary balance. If I am a symbol of anything I would like to be a symbol of this reconciling and healing Fifth Province" Full text:https://awpc.cattcenter.iastate.edu/2017/03/09/inaugural-address-dec-3-1990/https://president.ie/en/media-library/speeches/address-by-the-president-mary-robinson-on-the-occasion-of-her-inauguration

Why do we have such an obsession with status? Who decides what is adding to our position in society? Have they different monarchs decided this or did the court that surrounds them? How can we change the patterns of humanity that we are moving towards? As we are obsessed with keeping middle class.

**there was a mistake in one of the track links so I had to repost the episode (sorry)I don't want to go back and edit this as the energy is there for what I want to talk about and I don't talk enough about the demon of white money ... and when I say Black people are doing well, thriving it's all relative and a totally uneven world. I'm aware of that but I want to keep the energy of the passion in what I do talk about and not overlook my mistakes or the assumptions you might think I make that I don't in fact - I just feel there is a greater richness in the world than white money.

There is a drumbeat building around a generation not being successful because they didn't go to school for the pandemic.

The rollercoaster I have been charting with the podcast because I'm not prepared to be anti-vax or anti-abortion or racist while speaking about humanity.

Why we need to have compassion for those who behave badly. There is a tiny glip in the recording because someone texted me and the recording stopped briefly! But the rest was so much in flow I've just left it! What is missing in the audio;*Split Personalities or Borderline Personalities or what I call Duality (a positive outlook) - means that we don't have a strong sense of self - of who we are. We are afraid to stay as that person so we borrow roles and identities from those around us and try to become those people. In every way - become a character of a person. You can see the pedestal placement and displacement as a child would lead you to think - what do I need to be for you to reward me?

Why we need to change to have transformation as a society* I meant 319b obviously ... this is the problem with being on a context rollercoaster here and on my Patreon.
