It Takes a Village
All my life, I dreamed of a devotional partnership, a sacred union, a legendary love, whatever you wanna call it.
During the pandemic, I got it.
Totally devoted, utterly free of conflict and nonsense, the full provision of the masculine letting me be in my surrendered feminine.
I processed out a lifetime of fear and grief in the first 8 months. All my expectations that he would come to me with cruelty or control revealed the way I was programmed to receive something vastly different from what was actually on offer there.
I processed with my body. I cried so much, on the floor, on my knees. I shared very little narrative about it, with him or even with myself. I had already awakened to emotional mastery, so it was a matter of doing it, being in it, being with it, freeing the energy and reintegrating it to serve me and the life I'd chosen.
In light of this prosperity, in a generative partnership, in a world that was shut down, it was so clear...
Devotional partnership was not enough.
It would never be enough. It could not be enough.
It was actually too much.
Devotional partnership generates energy and costs very little. It cannot use the energy it generates, and this is why those who place their focus on partnership must maintain conflict as a partnership practice, so that the partnership can use the energy it's generating.
Peaceful partnership left me with energy to spend, energy to burn. We were living an enormous life, traveling all the time, I was managing a household and the purchase of a second home in another state, and I still had more to give.
It became so clear—life needs a village.
It had always been stated to me as a premise of scarcity, you need a village to get by. You need a village to survive. It takes a village to meet your needs and raise your kids.
It had always been about how much WORK life was.
But I got by just fine alone in scarcity.
Abundance NEEDED company.
I had resources that were desperate to go somewhere. My partner at the time had piles of money, and my love for him had piles more coming in his door. I saw clearly for the first time the conundrum faced by the rich—how do we even spend this money, what is really worth it? What can I trade this money for that will *actually make a material improvement on my life?*
Four-figure bottles of wine did not do it for me. Three-star Michelin restaurants were hell on my nervous system and my gut. Two luxury SUV's at two homes didn't ease my anxiety driving in traffic. One night at a high-end hotel was more taxing than relaxing, inundated with artificial fragrance and blinding light, say nothing of longer stays.
I tried to enjoy it. I tried to appreciate it. But in the end, it was not for me. I ended up irritable and dissatisfied, uncomfortable in ways I couldn't even fully understand.
Why would I want to criticize what everyone agrees is luxury? What was wrong with me?
The toxic masculinity of this culture is that we steward material abundance in ways that degrade our experience of life. If you've been in an airport recently, you've felt this pain. Systems and structures serve systems and structures while ignoring or degrading human life experience. Workers struggle to make ends meet, products are low quality, consumer experience suffers, earth's resources are transformed into things that will never decay, all so that number go up on spreadsheet.
Union, true divine union, beyond partnership, is the way that system and structure serves and improves life experience. That is the sole purpose of system and structure, to SERVE LIFE.
I created the Village Principles Masterclass to share the three simple principles that enabled me to experience the abundance always on offer and show what, practically, to do with the best problem of all—a glut of resources I'd hate to see go to waste.
These principles are not just the way to GET community, they are a way of living life such that every sacred resource at my disposal is well-spent in service to my experience of life and my loved ones' experience of life.
This is the Timeless Technology of Right Relationship. It improves my relationship to literally every single bit of life. It asks nothing of others or the world. It places me in the true wealth of distribution-consciousness.
These principles are exactly what it takes to be in a beautiful devotional partnership, the Secure Detachment that allows an organic unfolding of unimaginable alignment.
But I can't market to such a small and easily-achieved end. When these principles bring you that devotional partnership, you'll see how much more you need them for the happily ever after.
It takes a village to honor an abundance of resources. It takes a village to enact sacred stewardship of plenty.
It takes a village to use the energy generated by a devotional partnership.
It takes a Village Principles Masterclass to flip the backward cultural scripts on what abundance is, what wealth means, what sacred relationship is FOR.
I hope you'll come and gobble this up. You deserve it.
