7. Another aspect of Occupy

that needs to happen is on an individual level. The effect of all the messages of divisiveness not only divide our society but then work to divide communities, families--and then work on an inner level to divide us from our centers and our authentic original selves. When people lose parts of their own souls, they become hungry, addicted, and predatory--or fall victim to predatory types. It is a lateral/horizontal exchange of energy, rather than a vertical one with the cosmos and planet.

What has to happen, IMHO, in this occupy movement is for as many people as possible to do a kind of soul retrieval, because this society has fragmented our souls, in so many ways called us away from our instincts, our wild selves, our creative selves, and joyful playful selves. We have to work toward retrieving all of the energy and consciousness that we came into this life with--it is our birthright--so that we have all that we need to heal, and to go out into the world with the ability to access our higher selves and our wisdom. And this is a continuous process, to be done as needed.

We have to Occupy Ourselves--our whole selves
