Cutting a Path Through the Fuckery

July 2025 | The 9 Year, 7 Month

A lot of us have been marching along rather stoically since the beginning of 2025, ebbing and flowing from uncertainty to determination, and everything in between.

If you have been following this newsletter since the beginning of this year, you know we’ve been establishing the power of community since March. I’m glad we were able to see that realized when an estimated 11 million people came together for No Kings Day, an event I hope is one day in the curriculum of students, which tells the story of how America finally overcame it’s long lineage of tyranny over the span of several decades.

One can hope, which brings me to this month’s message.

July is our mental health checkpoint.

The 7 is about the nonmaterial world. It asks us to get quiet enough to hear what’s below the surface and find a way through it all. I highly encourage everyone to slow down so that we may process what has happened, what is happening, and what’s going to happen for the foreseeable future. We forget that sometimes we don’t need to do anything except exist.

With the 9’s message of endings and letting go, I hope that we come to shed mental constructs that inhibit us from our growth. I hope that we come to understand what matters, and courageously pursue it.

This whole year has been confusing, but there’s something especially confusing about this combination when the disillusionment of the 7 meets the shedding of the 9. This month could be a bit of a mind fuck. We might come to fully realize something that alters our whole paradigm (although this has kind of been happening already). Perhaps it arrives as a piece of news, or an event that pushes us deeper into the cacophony of illusions. Perhaps it instead arrives softly from all of us finally getting into a headspace clear enough to cut a path through the fuckery and say enough is enough.

Whatever happens this month, I hope you take the time needed to be introspective as we navigate this hall of mirrors. We are collectively birthing the next 9-year cycle. Give yourself a break, and give yourself the time to understand what this means for you.

This is the month and year cycle that I am going through personally, and what I’m doing to help myself through this chapter is to make an effort to spend more time outside, weather permitting. I’m also going to focus solely on writing. Seven is the writer’s number 😉 and sometimes the act of writing does indeed cut a path out of the fuckery for us as we work through what’s going on internally.

I wrote a piece on faith a couple of months ago that was received well, and as difficult of a topic this is, I’d like to circle back to it because I think it’s relevant to this month. That post concludes with my lack of faith in humanity rather than God, and whether or not this is something we want to talk about, I can tell a lot of people are also dealing with the weight of this (7=faith seeker, 9=humanitarian, and so a lack of faith in humanity could be a literal translation for this combination).

Consequently, I’ve chosen Soulless Creatures by Aurora as the song for this month’s message.

This has been on repeat in my mind for a long time now as I watch the marketplace planet. I can’t help but listen to it every day. My interpretation is that it’s written from the perspective of Gaia to humanity.

“Come, my wonders, after dawn restores
Waiting for the world to turn once more
Listening to the deep magnetic sound
Hunting for a victim, lying down
Come back to me after peace restores
Soulless creatures

Fearsome hearts, I wouldn't lie
I got memories that travel my mind
Fear not, fear not
When you go, I got pieces of your hate in my soul
Look at me now
I'm falling apart in daylight
All the pieces that I've lost, I have loved.”

I have drawn a parallel between the way humans treat women and the way they treat Gaia. Both are a means to an end, something to take from and then discard, something that only exists to fulfill what man wants for themselves, and nothing else. This is reflected in the relationship we have with everything and everyone.

I do believe that humanity consists of soulless creatures, and rather than being afraid of negativity and ignoring real life circumstances, I face it. It’s heavy moral dilemmas like this, and many others, that need to be processed this month and for the remainder of the year. And, of course, as we already established last month, progress is not linear. Our challenges will be revisited over and over again on the landscape of Metanoia until they are transformed.

On a lighter note, both the 9 and the 7 promote mindfulness, meditation, and the profound expansion that can come from that. Sit in the stillness of yourself. Be aware of the present moment, the infinity folded within it, like a fractal embedded in time and space. There is wisdom to be remembered and discovered in this moment as you read this, but only if you let it.
