When I started out with the Creative Dream Incubator in 2010, and the world felt simpler and I felt happier - the goals was to help more people have more of the things they dreamed of.

This is soul work. The work of excavating our true self from all the layers of junk that got piled on us as dominant culture pushed us to conform to who it thinks we should be. And then the work of nurturing our truth and letting our true selves flourish.

But this work, when done from within the context of dominant culture, can become all about “manifesting the perfect life”.

This work, when done without any real examination of the values of dominant culture and how they impact how you see your desires and needs, only cements you deeper into conformity.

Rich is better than poor.

Abled is better than disabled

Thin is better than fat.

Happy is better than sad.

Most new age, new thought and holistic wellness communities stay true to these values.

If you’re poor, disabled, fat and sad - you’re doing everything wrong. If you’re rich, able, thin and happy - you’re doing everything right. There is one standard, one ultimate way to be and everywhere that you miss that mark points to where you are doing something wrong.

So what happens is that our genuine soul excavation work becomes tainted by the ways we unconsciously hold onto the values of dominant culture.

I think this soul work is actually meant to help us DISMANTLE the systems we live in and create a better culture. I think that is the goal. Because the values and systems of dominant culture don’t reflect ANYONE’s soul truth. They reflect fear and greed. They are driven by an unwillingness to look within.

Most new age, new thought and holistic wellness communities collude with dominant culture and support people in believing that they’re doing actual soul work when they’re just using every privilege they have to make their own lives as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

And we all get infected by this.

Of course we do! These values are the air we breathe and the world we live in.

So it’s helpful for me to keep coming back to the question: WHAT IS THE GOAL?

Are you trying to manifest your best life to prove that you are worthy within dominant culture’s definition of what that means?

Are you trying to be your most authentic self?

Your happiest self?

Your wealthiest self?

Your most socially acceptable self?

WHAT IS THE GOAL, REALLY?

Most new age, new thought and holistic wellness communities stay true to these values.

If you’re poor, disabled, fat and sad - you’re doing everything wrong. If you’re rich, able, thin and happy - you’re doing everything right. There is one standard, one ultimate way to be and everywhere that you miss that mark points to where you are doing something wrong.

So what happens is that our genuine soul excavation work becomes tainted by the ways we unconsciously hold onto the values of dominant culture.

I think this soul work is actually meant to help us DISMANTLE the systems we live in and create a better culture. I think that is the goal. Because the values and systems of dominant culture don’t reflect ANYONE’s soul truth. They reflect fear and greed. They are driven by an unwillingness to look within.

Most new age, new thought and holistic wellness communities collude with dominant culture and support people in believing that they’re doing actual soul work when they’re just using every privilege they have to make their own lives as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

And we all get infected by this.

Of course we do! These values are the air we breathe and the world we live in.

So it’s helpful for me to keep coming back to the question: WHAT IS THE GOAL?

Are you trying to manifest your best life to prove that you are worthy within dominant culture’s definition of what that means?

Are you trying to be your most authentic self?

Your happiest self?

Your wealthiest self?

Your most socially acceptable self?

WHAT IS THE GOAL, REALLY?

When I started out with the Creative Dream Incubator in 2010, and the world felt simpler and I felt happier - the goals was to help more people have more of the things they dreamed of.

This is soul work. The work of excavating our true self from all the layers of junk that got piled on us as dominant culture pushed us to conform to who it thinks we should be. And then the work of nurturing our truth and letting our true selves flourish.

But this work, when done from within the context of dominant culture, can become all about “manifesting the perfect life”.

This work, when done without any real examination of the values of dominant culture and how they impact how you see your desires and needs, only cements you deeper into conformity.

Rich is better than poor.

Abled is better than disabled

Thin is better than fat.

Happy is better than sad.
