REACTIVITY - OR - GAIA
If you are Hookable, if you are identified with your Child Ego State, or your Parent Ego State, or your Gremlin Ego State, or if your Adult Ego State is Contaminated with your Gremlin, Child, or Parent Ego State, you cannot be Adult or enter the Archetypal Domains in your life. Gaia is Present in a small Here and Minimized Now.
If you cannot become Present then you cannot be with Gaia.
If you are Reactive, if you do not distinguish between Feelings and Emotions, if you make Assumptions that you turn into Expectations that if not fulfilled become Resentments, then you cannot connect with Gaia.
If you live in Fantasy Worlds of Good/Bad, Right/Wrong, or Verbal Reality, then you cannot connect with Gaia.
You have preparations to make before you can consciously connect with Gaia.
Please go prepare yourself as indicated above, and then come back here to continue.
Gaia is waiting for you.
Earth Emotions
UNDERSTANDING EARTH EMOTIONS
undeRstanding eaRth emotions
• Earth Emotions are the human positive and negative emotions that are in relationship to planetary health. THe
state of the Earth is reflected in the state of our minds and emotions. As we try to figure out how to deal with
the existential crises we are facing, we need a radical shift in our collective ways - returning to our roots in
Earth’s matrix of life — a reframing of our culture around the values of eco-mutuality.
• Everyone engaging with our climate emergency will have their own emotional journey. People who engage
with the climate crisis need to recognise that they are susceptible to a special kind of stress due to the
overwhelming nature of the problem. It will not be easy. If you have come to recognise that climate change
will lead to a near-term collapse in our way of life, or even worse, then this can be a very difficult to process,
integrate, or communicate to other people.
• It is important that we engage and talk with others who understand and appreciate that we are not simply
confused, depressed, or irresponsible. In those connections and conversations, we find solidarity and
pathways for how to be, what to do now and in the future. THis is a fundamental part of Regenerative Culture.
• New words have been formed to describe emotional responses to the emergent state of the world. THese words
are needed to create a vocabulary that includes hope for the building of resilience and understanding each
other better in dialogues with multiple perspectives.
DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME EARTH EMOTIONS
heRe aRe some of these emotion desCRiptoRs
eCo-anxiety
is anxiety about ecological disasters and
threats to the natural environment such as
pollution and climate change. Variations to the
definition exist, to broadly describe the “worry
or agitation caused by concerns about the
present and future state of the environment”.
eCologiCal gRief
is grief felt in relation to experienced or anticipated
ecological losses, including the loss of species,
ecosystems, and meaningful landscapes due
to acute or chronic environmental change.
eCo-paRalysis
is the feeling you can’t do anything about any
of it. THis appears as apathy, complacency or
disengagement. You can change your light-
bulbs but most people know this isn’t adequate
to address the scale of what’s taking place.
gloBal dRead
is when you wake up in the morning feeling
dread about the ecological state of the world.
Resource: https://glennaalbrecht.com
natuRe defiCit disoRdeR
is the idea that human beings, especially children,
are spending less time outdoors, and the belief that
this change results in a wide range of behavioral
problems. THis disorder is not recognised
in any of the medical manuals for mental
disorders, such as the ICD-10 or the DSM-5.
solastalgia
is pain or sickness caused by the inability to
derive solace from the present state of one’s
home environment. It is the lived experience of
negatively perceived environmental change to
one’s sense of place and existential well-being.
Feelings of powerlessness and a loss of hope about
the future. Solastalgia is a form of homesickness
one experiences, when one is still at ‘home.’
teRRafuRie
is the extreme anger unleashed within those who
can clearly see the self-destructive tendencies in the
current forms of industrial-technological society
but feel unable to change the direction of such
tierracide and ecocide. THe anger is also directed at
challenging the status quo in both intellectual and
socio-political terms. Terrafurie is anger targeted at
those who command the forces of Earth destruction.

The Status Of Gaia
Become Gaia
WRITE GAIA
If you ever go through the process of changing your name, you know how impossible it seems to do without being shocking or fake. The suggestion is to begin changing your name in the world by signing your new name. Gradually as you become more accustomed to representing your identity in writing with new words and letters, the new name sinks into your self-image. With a new identity you can more easily introduce yourself to new people with your new name. Only later, if ever, will those you know you by your old name make the shift to calling you by your new name. You agreed to the name-change process. They did not. Such a big thing as changing your name can force others to experience an uncomfortable recognition of their changed relating with you.
A similar burden accompanies the shift from viewing the Earth as a 'spaceship' that is carrying you through space - as Buckminster Fuller famously said - to being a holism, a living system generated by a being named Gaia.
Another, perhaps even larger inner reordering, is involved in the shift from experiencing yourself as one of the evolving animal species created by the organic Being called Gaia, to directly experiencing Gaia as yourself, in ongoing communion with Her, having Her feelings, having Her awarenesses, having Her life, being alive as Gaia.
The same kind of identity-shift process as explored with changing your name can be used with the identity-shift process of before being a single individualized personality with whatever name is registered in your passport, to a more realistic identity of being an organic frequency-transformer that is intimately participating in the complex, sophisticated field - the Specific Field of Consciousness of Earth - which is called Gaia. You start with writing your name differently.
SPEAK GAIA
The term 'Archan' is not only the name of someone who lives in Archiarchy, but also the name of the new language and traditions that emerge as you live in the regenerative adulthood-initiation-centered nonmaterial-value culture of Archiarchy.
In Archan - the language - there are two uses for the term 'Gaias'.
Gaias is a direct value currency. One Gaia is the value of planting and caring for one tree so that it grows healthily for one year. For more on this, please visit the website https://gaias.mystrikingly.com.
Gaias is also a word which you can use to informally refer to a group of people. Instead of saying, "Hey, guys!", or, "Hey, guys and gals!", you can now say, "Hey, Gaias!" which refers to both guys and gals and whatever, as living particles or frequencies of the Being of Gaia.

Sage Songs
Sage Songs: Or What the Thacker Pass Rabbits Know About Music
by Will Falk
Rabbits taught me that each sagebrush has a unique voice. I often take long walks across the steppes in Thacker Pass. It’s not uncommon to spy a rabbit – with one floppy ear pointed one way and one another – peeking out of the tangles of sagebrush branches.
Today, as I wandered across the basin floor, I asked Thacker Pass aloud if she wanted to talk with me today. As the words were pulled from my mouth by a strong, cold north wind, a rabbit sprang from bushes at my feet, throwing snow up with his strong back legs. I followed his tracks as long as I could until they crossed an exposed patch of dirt where the sun had thinned the powder. I dropped to my hands and knees to study the dirt for the imprint of rabbit feet. The wind blew with a gust.
And, that’s when I heard them.
The sage surrounding me reached towards the sun to let the wind wash through their branches and leaves. I was transfixed by the fragrant melodies formed in the frictions between sage and wind. I do not know for how many measures I knelt there listening to the unmetered chorus sung in keys no human singer can achieve swirling around me.
Eventually, I opened my eyes to find myself looking at the rabbit’s tracks a few yards away. As I crawled along the rabbit’s path, different sections of ensemble rose and fell. I realized that each individual sagebrush with its own specific pattern of leaves, specific orientation to the wind, and specific structure of branches contributed its own sonic hues to the masterpiece.
As I leaned my head towards the heart of the closest sagebrush, the sunshine fell through the clouds and the sagebrush’s twisting limbs. I recognized the sun as the great conductor of this symphony. I saw how the sagebrush grew towards the falling photons while intentionally choosing the specific patterns, orientations, and structures that, with the help of the wind, would create the most enchanting sounds.
It was the most fascinating song I’ve ever heard.
Finally, the wind touched my bones and reminded me that my blood would only remain warm on the exposed steppes for so long. As I rose from my crouch, I spotted the rabbit hiding under an ancient, thickly knotted sagebrush. He made eye contact with me, straightened his ears for a moment, and then settled back into the auditory rapture I had just emerged from.

ENTER THE MINIMIZED NOW OF GAIA BY TAKING GAIA AND CARRYING IT AROUND WITH YOU
Matrix Code BGAIAxxx.01
Go into a deep, dark forest and move there to the deepest, darkest place you can discover. There is no more path and the trees are dense.
Squat on the ground for a while and place both palms on the forest floor.
Look around you. Somewhere around you lies a stone or a piece of wood. You will see it.
Pick it up and ask permission to take it.
If you get permission, take it with you and carry it around for 30 days. Always.
Every night, write in your Beep! Book what you learned today because the thing was with you.
When the 30 days are up, return the thing to the place you took it from. Express your gratitude.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code BGAIAxxx.01 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

LET GAIA SPEAK THROUGH YOUR PEN
Matrix Code BGAIAxxx.05
Find a patch of forest that you like, that you feel drawn to, it is better if it is near where you live so that you can do return trips but this is not essential.
From the threshold of the forest (ie, not outside and not fully inside yet), make sure that you are in first position, then say Hello to the forest and introduce yourself.
Ask if there is one of the plants or animals or rock or stream in the forest that has something to say to you. If yes, ask to be guided to them.
Walking in the forest centered, grounded and bubbles is a magical experience because suddenly you can sense where to place your feet next without seeking the way with them. Use Field Attention to keep your eyes downward looking and softly focused. Every step is an experiment, you are a dowsing rod, let yourself be moved. Stop and look up occasionally and keep moving toward the one being who wants to speak to you.
Once there, greet the plant, animal, rock or waterplace and introduce you. Then make yourself comfortable with some part of your body touching the forest being and have your Beep! book and pencil ready.
Tell them that you are listening to what they have to say. Then write it all down!
You are offering a service for the tree, the forest…Gaia, the service is to provide access to human language. Let everything else fall away and take dictation from Gaia.
They will tell you when it is done. Thank them and leave the forest.
At home you publish what the forest being of Gaia told you. Publish on Medium and on your personal website.

If you play an instrument yourself, it is quite wonderful. If not, you can still make that experiment.
Find two other Gaias who want to make music with you.
Pack up your instruments and head out into nature, into the woods or to a river. The point is to be in a place where there are no other people, because this will be a concert for Gaia.
Choose the right place carefully, maybe there is a herd of cows nearby, cows love music.
Introduce yourselves aloud, say who you are and that you are now going to play a concert for Gaia.
Before you leave, bow and say thank you, as if in front of an audience.
Repeat this in different places.
Do not record the concert, but tell other people about it.If they would like to experience it, invite them to your next concert for Gaia.

TAKE BACK YOUR AUTHORITY TO BECOME GAIA BY TAKING YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PURCHASES
Matrix Code BGAIAxxx.08
For one month, write down everything you buy on a list. All the things you spend money on, including things like ETB's, labs, coaching, clopaper and mangos.
At the end of the month, go through your list again with another person, item by item.
The other person takes the role of Gaia and answers the two questions for each purchase: What do you think about this purchase? What are your feelings about it?
The point is not to make a moral judgment or condemnation.
Once you have gone through the list, you can work together to find alternatives for individual items that you have bought and no longer want to buy.
Gaia is excited about this experiment and finding other possibilities.There may be a great deal of joy that arises in you as you go through it.

The day before, figure out how to turn off the time display on your phone screen. (Maybe tape off the time display on the screen).
Orient yourself to the position of the sun, to the sounds in the neighboring apartment, to your sensation of hunger and to the brightness.
Otherwise, don't change your daily routine; if you have made appointments, keep them.
What is the right time to leave and go to a meeting? What are the clues? How can you use your energetic body to find out the right time?
What do you notice? Are you more likely to arrive too early or too late? What do you feel as a result?
If someone points out that you are too early/too late, respond with, "Yes."Do not give an explanation or say anything about your experiment.

LET THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS FOR GAIA HIT YOUR HEART USING THE EXAMPLE OF A HERD OF COWS
Matrix Code BGAIAxxx.12
Visit a herd of cows. Stay there for at least 20 minutes, count the animals, look at them, observe what they are doing.
Then go immediately to the meat counter in a supermarket. Look at the meat offers, what there is to buy, the prices, who works there.
Then go immediately back to the herd of cows in the meadow.Look at the cows, try to distinguish them.
Do they have different faces?
Where are they standing now, what are they doing?
Try to find out how they communicate, how they perceive each other.
Stand there with the cows for at least 20 minutes.
Then go back to the supermarket to the meat counter.Take a closer look at the beef. Are there different colors, grain patterns? From which part of the animal were the pieces cut, what do the bones look like?
Finally, go back to the cows in the meadow.Do they react to your appearance? Do they recognize you?
Do they get curious about who you are?
Get in touch with them, talk to them quietly, tell them who you are and what your name is. Ask them what their name is.Look into the eyes of the cows.
Contrary to popular belief in Germany, cows are smart beautiful animals.
Stay with the cows as long as you want.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code BGAIAxxx.12 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.
