Fight for your freedom or die trying

No-one is coming to fucking save you. Grow a spine and open your heart.

This is the end of a cycle for me. 

Five years to the very day since I arrived and started work here in Singapore.

Arriving was the beginning of the end for me. 

The ending of the drama that I was addicted to. Killing the drama stone dead.

Because that’s what I’ve been working on every single day for every one of those five years. 

• Killing the drama that held me in the fantasy of being ‘rescued’.

• Killing the drama that sapped my confidence and disempowered me.

• Killing the drama that had me worrying and guilty that my time was running out to leave a legacy for my kids.

In the process, I’ve written four Amazon #1 bestselling books. 

I wrote each book prompted by the death of someone close to me. Each death allowed me to process the death of drama within myself. And each time, I’ve re-birthed a new version of myself. 

• More confident.

• More powerful

• More consciously aware and alive than ever before.

No one was coming to fucking save me. 

No one is coming to fucking save you. 

Death has always been the trigger for me to write and it’s no different this time around. 

In the past, it has always been the death of someone close to me that has prompted me to take a pause to grieve their loss, and for me that always clears space for me the space to contemplate, and out of that the creative writing process starts. 

This time around it has been different. It was an inner death of part of myself that prompted me to start writing again, rather than the physical death of someone close to me.

When I start to write I always have a strong idea about what I’m writing about, but it is always a journey into the unknown. Like Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, it usually metaphorically starts by rushing out of the house without a pocket handkerchief and ends up with a battle of wits against a Gollum and a dragon. 

What I mean by this is that my starting point is always naive. And, then the journey leads me where I need to go in facing into the shadows of my own inner-self and that I’ve been avoiding. 

In my case, my Gollum was my own lack of emotional intelligence, and my dragon is the drama that I inherited from my grandmother who was an archetypal Welsh dragon.

The world has shifted significantly and the appetite for making profits from death and mayhem in industrialised genocide has exploded. 

The drama that has enslaved the boomers and GenX into the fascist utopia of industrialised genocide, where AI determines the healthcare outcomes that decides whether you live or die based on a profit calculation. 

This is industrialised genocide - this is the true inheritance of the belief written on the sign above the gates of Auschwitz. 

The sign over the Auschwitz gate reads "Arbeit Macht Frei," which translates to "Work Makes One Free" in English. This phrase is often seen as ironic, as it was used to deceive prisoners into believing that hard work would lead to their freedom, while in reality, it often led to their suffering and death.

This is our dragon. And it is an old and cunning one.

The advent of social media platforms, the algorithms, and AI that drive them has exposed the massive vulnerability that we all have to being distracted and manipulated to ignore the industrialised genocide. 

This is our Gollum and is also not new. Traditional newspapers and television have been used as a tool to manipulate us all for almost two hundred years.

Our shadows are our unconscious set of limiting-beliefs that we all carry with us. 

Our addiction to drama is the symptom of those shadows manifested.

Our source of transformation is the acceptance of those shadows. Once we become aware and are accepting of those shadows, then we become neutral and integrated with them. 

We are no longer unconsciously driven by them, and we are no longer vulnerable to being manipulated by them because we’re aware immediately when they pop up. We then have a choice in responding to them, instead of reacting without awareness.

Owning your shadows does not mean that you need to BE your shadows. 

But the fight is not external - it is internal. 

Becoming aware of our shadows, and the addiction to drama that they cause is a human super-power that makes you un-fuck-with-able.

No one is coming to fucking save you from the algorithms and the AI that you’re all so fucking afraid of, due to the fear-mongering social media.

If you continue to tolerate your own ignorance then your children and your grandchildren are going to be the next generation to be consumed by the machine of industrial genocide.

The greatest healing gift we can give ourselves is the death of drama. The drama that we’ve been trapped in since childhood.

I’m not doing this healing for just myself. 

Our children are disengaged and fearful.

I’m doing it for my children and my community. 

I’m doing this healing for you, as kindness to a stranger who is yet to become my friend

Because the death of drama and the healing that follows creates human beings who deeply care for themselves and each other. 

When we take ownership of our own drama and take the actions necessary to heal ourselves then we get peace for ourselves and for our planet. 

The death of drama IS the path to world peace. 

Our children need to see that.
