Let's Go Wild
#128: 23 November 2025 It's perfect
Let’s feel into some of the differences in being human between Modern and Wild. To start, Modern focuses our attention not on who we be, instead on what we do. One of the first questions you might ask, in meeting someone the first time, is, in fact, “what do you do?” Notice how Modern wants us to identify with the outside, our actions in the world, rather than our inner sense of soul and beingness. This focus on the outside quickly limits our attention to the past, remembering tragedies, and the future, avoiding them again. We are not to get too embroiled in this moment, because then our focus turns to our experience, to how we are being now, rather than actions taken or planned.
If we want to see a world built on truth, transparency, honesty, and unity, then we must live those principles so fully that they become the atmosphere around us. When you stand in truth, you radiate a frequency that pierces through deception, manipulation, and division. It bypasses the ego’s defenses and speaks directly to the soul. In other words, if I feel Wild is true and Modern false, then I must live the Wild life if I am to maintain integrity with my soul. This makes this work of spiritual evolution my ultimate purpose in this lifetime.
There are some aspects to this I want to be considering; first, I consider every ‘now’ to be perfect. I don’t mean without flaw, I mean it is a result of the energies in the space which could not be any other way. Where I get lost quickly is when I notice my experience of the energies, tell myself a story about them, and fail to remember they are not in my control but my story about them is. There is the tiniest of pauses between the experience and the naming, and the subsequent story, which is the space where wonder hides. Can I hear a sound, and “feel” it as it exists in this now, before naming it “dog bark” and getting lost in the memory of the time a dog knocked me down when I was 3? I can allow for something to feel new and history-less, or I can enjoy the sensation of intentionally crafting a new story to replace the old rut that when repeated, leaves me unhappy. Both options allow me to enjoy the perfect moment and be happy in doing so, regardless of any label of ‘good’ or ‘bad’ Modern wants me to assign to the experience.
This skill at considering, and in some cases rewriting, my story leads to excitement. Every experience is a seed that I can nurture, or a chance to heal trauma, or just the first time I am feeling a particular energy in my life. It’s a chance to change the rules, or rather, go beyond the rules as given to me by Modern. Clearly Wild rules are different; if I focus on living in congruence with my Wild self, I can make up new rules and actions, new ways to ‘be’, as I go…as my soul directs…as integrity demands.
When I do craft new rules, or experiment with new stories I not only recognize I am not in control, I live a life of freedom that is unavailable to me in the Modern world. Yes, sometimes or even often, the ‘experiment’ will look like a mistake in the Modern sense. But if I am concurrently doing the inner work to separate ego from soul; if I am seeking to identify and eradicate my tendency to project my stress and flaws onto others so I can blame them for my failures; and if I see myself reflected in the way others act towards me; then these are invaluable clues to what Wild demands from me.
It is a lifelong project and more. Modern will do anything it can to keep me under its spell, in its control. My going rogue and Wild is a bad example for others still in Modern; and we can’t have role models that succeed at leaving the Empire behind. But do I care what Modern thinks or wants? No, I don’t. I converse constantly with my heart and soul, and therein I find the peace, joy, and freedom of Wild. Join me.
