I so loved reading your response here dearest @paradigmprospect - your words resonate so closely with my own thoughts and expression, and it has been a joy to rant gently about this subject and be reciprocated by so many 'decentralised' friends!!
Your description of the cosmically scratching at integrity is so true: as I've released my own attachment with the mainstream, with paperwork and submission, I've found an exponential improvement in my overall Flow, but specifically in my mental-emotional health and my clarity of vision; like stepping out of muddy depths which slow my steps terrible - distracted by controversy and - well - distractions, superficial things - it's like a million little bites by fleas.
Each one would not be much on its own, but an accumulative influx of all these wee bites to eyes, ears, nervous system, ego, intelligence; they most surely DO accumulate and cause immense damage to the holistic sense of our cosmic self.
I love the unfolding that we are all supporting for each other! It will be fabulous to connect in real life and solidify our friendships and co-creative capacities; you are so Right too - this is the time to fully immerse in better things - and in the riches that are ours - like our free time, energy, attention, expression!
A prestissimmo!!
