SPEAK YO’ TRUTH

Hand drawn with colorful pens, then watercolor painted and pasted to checkerboard and purple cardstock. I lost the original when I was unhoused, among several other works I made- it was depressing but I didn’t give up. I’m so glad I took a picture of this work before that happened- I just wish I would have taken pictures of the other artworks I had in my folder along with it too.

Anyways, as somebody who seeks to transform advocacy and learn from indigenous peoples, I made this in an effort to explain my desire, and how the triangulation of elements could be harming natural, holistic, circulation. In astrology, a “trine” is considered a “benefic aspect,” where flow comes easily and talents are recognized. However, trines are also used in Euro-Pagan symbols to represent each element, but fire is particularly represented as the uppercase triangle symbol: Δ. However, that symbol is also called Delta. In mathematics Δ represents the numerical “change in x“ for an equation, and it’s the 4th letter of the Greek alphabet (in lowercase, delta looks like this: δ).

We also named the deepest state brainwave the “Delta” wave, being the closest to both death, and regenerative resting. I scry about the impact of this concept in my blahg post, Autocracy and Autophagy; shortly summarized: we’re in need of a deep transformation in how we communicate & spiritually address psycho-social health, in order to improve environmental health.

If Δ is the pagan symbol for fire, as it also represents “change” in math functions, and the deepest stage of sleep -then we have an insomniatic inflammation problem tied to symbolic cultural patterns of manifestation! We NEED deep dark stillness to truly recover in the “delta sleep” stage -but due to these spiritual language issues, it’s tied to the hottest, most active and brightest element!

In that, we “white” people did start a proverbial and supremacist “fi~re” (we didn’t start the fire? I beg to differ)in what’s supposed to be a healthily diverse environment. To comprehend the complexity of this communications relationship, the term ethnicity-based “cognitive bias” could be used to explain what may inspire actions that allude to global warming & poverty, such as overpopulated militaristic behaviors (an over-firing), that the “white/light” (fire-colored) linguistic-spiritual, systemic-personality complex that affects all who seek to manifest within its language structure.

In the Western religions, we value light as the enemy of darkness- and even “dark skinned” people fall into the cultural trend. In Eastern and Indigenous religions, the balance of light and dark (yin yang and hunab ku), are a core concept of balance- rather than a war between light and dark, where light is the all-saving winner, and dark is always the evil one. Good vs Evil is not equal to Light vs Dark unless you culturally coordinate those patterns to mean the same thing- even though they don’t have to.

There are other ways to communicate symbols of change (other than delta) despite how our species has evolved based on how we use fire and maths as a tool; different cultures use variations in technique. All the Euro-Pagan elements have a symbol of delta in them, and if you put them together, they create a hexagram, or a star of David- but in the end, the ones crossed out are Earth and Air (two elements chronically damaged by the undervalued cultural trend of water-greed, instead of conservation, protection, and cultivation. The downward arrow in the stock market is always a bad sign, yet it is also the Euro-Pagan symbol for water. No wonder Christianity and the like wanted to kill them off.

Yet, the connection is in our history, our witchy-trends, and tied into our imbalanced geometric acknowledgments within economic systems, while hypocritically touting the imperative beneficence of geometry in all of our technological applications! We used to pray with the water, and some still use the “holy water” because the book tells them to. Stealing water from people is not ethical conservation- building a system that values waterway protection and regeneration is a more holistic, human-health centered solution. The triangles have been used for war-machines, spy drones, and targeted weapons, but when will it be used for healing guns? For the spiritual change that will inspire us to capture asteroids and ship the water to Earth- or will only Mars see that invention?

Speakin’ of war- “in general” are the people “in general” positions, or does “the general” control the people? In general, how do we measure the mantra of this relativity; the pyscho-physics? We must remember to use fire as part of the change process, instead of it being the sole element for all change within measuring functions in of themselves. People are being fired too often, with no restorative justice. Too many over-worked, experiencing too much inflammation, while genocide is normalized by those who prefer regimes of greed.

‍ ‍We have too much fire, as heat waves show us how mad the true whiteness is at us claiming to be the “white” people. Were we always meant to run away from our selves; to escape our merciless fire, or do we acknowledge that we are not the Sun, but rather Earthen humanity, influenced by corrupted spiritual and systemic gravities?We’ve celebrated enough to have discovered fire’s use better than any other species on the planet (but it matters how we plan it out to shine and empower). Too often plans include fire in the most devastating ways; for greed’s purpose- instead of species ethical evolutionary healthcare.

This work encourages the collective use of transformative advocacy as a tool; to embolden those whose voices and spiritual creativities needs to be heard ~ herd; in order for the truly ethical to survive, to thrive, and to prompt change in the directions of noise that seek to drown them out in hatred and disgust… To defeat narcissism & toxic forms of nationalism and to research and test prevention and cures for all the disease pathways that stem from these inflammatory concepts and the actions they inspire.
