Reflections from ‘The Human Element’

A little something I wrote after attending an online screening of The Human Element film through One Earth Film Festival.

Typical changes aren't noticed. They are always happening but a lot of the time we don't notice them.

In the ice, we noticed the changes as they were happening. They were apparent. 

What if we looked at life like this? What if we held an understanding of constant change - right beneath us, right within us, around us. What would things look like if we held that flexible awareness? That consciousness. 

We are seeing changes in Earth - almost a call for help - and we can respond. 

Do we notice these changes inside us too? We are also asking for this internal help. We internally know we need to change. We haven't known how - and we have been searching for outside answers. 

But I believe the answer lies inside each and every one of us. Not in one being. Not externally, but internally. We each hold the keys to our own answers - but we have to find them - and this only comes from healing ourselves internally. 

Our external world is just a reflection of our internal world. If we heal inside - and show up. In our true authentic selves. Our optimal selves. Our best selves. 

We heal others by healing ourselves. And through others, we heal. And together - we heal the planetary destruction we have found ourselves in. 

We create our reality. 

We are the storytellers - let's choose our stories wisely. 

We are the toolmakers - let's build tools that connect, spread love and abundance, and serve as a way for others to discover their own tools. 

We are not just consumers. 

We are builders - change makers. And what we are creating is truly incredible. I know I feel it. I hope you do too. 

Our inputs matter. What we consume matters - it programs our subconscious to operate in a certain way - with a certain programming. 

What if it’s time for an update? An upload if you will. 

We can change our programming. We can teach ourselves to know the love, the care, the abundance - the Oneness. 

"Whatever we put into the air - we put into ourselves" 

Whatever messaging we consume regularly we learn to know as truth. If we absorb negativity we create more of it. The same goes for the fear, doubt, control - the sense of lack - the need for greed. But if we absorb positivity, the opposite happens - we spread positivity.

We share love and light. We can consume these subliminal messages and register them to our subconscious mind through so many forms of energy - through creativity, art, music, writing, reading, film. 

Through meditation, affirmation, intention setting, visualizing. 

By connecting with nature, with the moon, the trees. 

The water, the earth, the fire, the air. The elements. 

We need all elements - just as we need all people. We need each other and we are all here for a reason. We all bring something incredibly important to this earth. It is our time to recover, to help ourselves heal, to help others heal. To discover what our own truth is and to share it with the world. 

Whatever it is - I promise it is needed! We are all needed. 

We all need to act. However, we can. By showing up. By accepting wherever we are in the journey. And by choosing to go into a space unknown knowing we are creating it together and that we are One. 

We have to meet ourselves wherever we are - hold space for ourselves. Hold space for each other. Make decisions that are sustainable on an individual level but also on a global level. But the global level comes from the local action. 

To help and activate. To grow awareness. To recognize we need all people.

All elements. We each do what James did. We create. We act. 

We find our callings, our roles - and we do them. And we show up in our communities to shift systems and shift with one another.

The universe is always speaking - but in its own language. Are you willing to listen? I know I am.
