The root of what distracts and derails you from your life’s work is bound up with our collective karmic knot of capitalism.

It is woven of the same threads—knotted in the same places.

An innate and wise part of you is left out of capitalism. 

By design.

It was excised at the beginning.

(And its absence is being intensified and amplified by technology, the gig economy, and AI reducing the cost of labor—and now intellect and creativity—to zero.) 

It is this separation—this casting out of part of you—that you are feeling. 

It is this separation that creates your longing. 

And it is this separation that untangling the root of what distracts and derails you—to reclaim the Sacred—will weave back together. 

Untangling the root of what distracts and derails you inevitably asks you to: 

See the braids of our collective karmic knot for what they are. 

Tell the truth about how they ensnare you.

And choose to release rather than perpetuate them.

The price will likely feel high (and the task itself perhaps impossible).

It was for much of its history—and for women, black and indigenous people in particular—literally death.

The fear and the force is real. 

You’re not spiritually (or strategically) deficient for feeling it and its momentum—or the potential consequences. 

And it is not the only reality at play.

There is a deeper force, momentum and sway. 

A deeper truth. 

A Sacred truth—of a different way of doing and being.

That the root of what distracts and derails you is pointing you toward. 

(You can choose to reclaim that.)
