Dark Matter: Women Witnessing - December, 2015 Issue #3 - EXTINCTION / DEVOTION

Lily:

Right. In successful project I will go there and start working with people to create a process that is

inclusive and participatory and democratic and full of fun. But the most important thing is that attitude.

We are not special. Everyone has that divine. The Kingdom of God is laying inside of us. And so we go

there and I got in touch with the light, the flicker of light. And that's been guiding me. And so, when I go

to a project, I don't want to dominate. It's not about me. It's about us together. And it's about that real

joy and that joy will come out when we treat each other with respect, with sincerity, no hidden agenda.

And that nurtures deeply inside. That's why we do it. Because it feels good. It feels honest. And it feels

authentic.

And then through the work, we light up everybody's, try to light up other people's private life. And to

expel the darkness, the ignorance in that kind of egohood and attachment. We need more light, more

people lit up across the continent, across the land. And, yes, we do hope and we can do it. Yes.

Caroline:

We don't have to create cultural movements. These movements are happening. They want to happen

with us as their agents. And again, may we be dedicated. Is there a blessing you'd like to spiral out to

each kind heart here gathered and spiraling out there into the memosphere?

Lily:

I think my wish is that it is so simple, that we all can do it especially the women, softer, gentler, usually

because of the feminine, more yielding. And, I think, my wish is that we don't need to create any great

movement or great event or whatever. If we can, just be more of our authentic self. Be honest, be true.

And celebrate who we are. And we listen to the voices inside and work very hard, learn all the skill.

We all can light up a fire and change the surroundings around us. And we become transformed in the

process. Thank you so much.

Caroline:

Thank you so much. May we cahoot in perpetuity and may all of our hearts bloom under the beautiful

gentle rain of your dedicated wisdom.
