Whether you're a devotee of God, Goddess, Nature, or the Creative Force at the Heart of the Universe, you have undoubtedly noticed a deeply rooted quirk about the way it works. It has an intense predisposition to generate ceaseless change. It likes to keep things moving right along.

Earlier in my life, I bore a grudge against this incorrigible proclivity. But after repeatedly having my karma crumpled for resisting it, I realized I'd better get used to it. In recent years, I've come a long way in retraining myself to be cheerfully cooperative with the primal flow.

That’s one reason why my nickname for myself is “Flux Mojo.” I aspire to derive magical potency by aligning myself with life’s ceaseless changes.

But here’s an important caveat: I also yearn to influence the way the flux unfolds. I am focused on the prospect of tweaking the flow so it bends in the direction of justice, beauty, truth, and love — not just for me but for everyone. I am a revolutionary.

My desires to fulfill my own personal life goals are strong, but equally strong are my longings to be of service to the greater good.

I want to participate in the project of creating a paradise on earth.

I want to help alleviate the world's suffering and maximize liberation — among my fellow humans as well as among the animals and plants.

And I want to align myself and harmonize my efforts with dear colleagues: people who treasure an empathetic, compassionate, creative way of being in the world.

Lately, I must admit, our work has seemed almost impossible. Many of us are understandably anxious about how everything seems upside-down and inside-out.

The grotesque onset of the Trumpocalypse has scared those of us whose destinies are in direct danger of being damaged. And Trump’s toxic agenda is horrific to all of us who care about the world outside of our personal sphere.

So no, at this peculiar turning point in the evolution of life’s 14-billion-year-old master game, it's not easy to carry out our holy mission.

Somehow, we've got to figure out how to be both wrathful insurrectionaries and exuberant lovers of life.

We've got to cultivate cheerful buoyancy even as we fiercely resist and refute the thousands of delusions that have been carefully crafted and seductively packaged by the know-it-all deceivers.

We have to learn how to stay in good yet unruly moods as we overthrow the sour, puckered mass hallucination that the selfish haters package and promote as "reality."

Maybe most importantly, we have to be forcefully and boisterously dedicated to the cause of beauty and truth and love — even as we keep our imaginations wild and hungry and free. We have to be both disciplined and rowdy.”

Thank you for this Rob Brezsny. It’s perfect 💜
