What is Happening

What is happening? 

I think the reason that we defy the word community is because this is not a commune and we are not communist.

I think that we resist the word tribal because tribalism is us and them.  Like communism tribalism represents a type of group think with some kind of centralized power. 

We resist any kind of labels.  We can't be a movement because we have no one agreed upon ideology behind us.  When we used the term LHP some people created a dogma around the term so some of us have rejected the label and some continue to use it minus any definition. 

We are not a Coven because cords are not measured to bind us. 

What I am a part of and witnessing is a gathering of individuals who work on projects together, study together and support each other as we dare to each walk alone through the fires of our individual transformation. 

So yes something is happening and we've been calling it family but many of us reject that idea as well because family can imply group think.  But like a family is supposed to be: we do nurture, goof off with and support each other. 

I do not think that we need a label.  It is happening with or without labels.  An organic gathering of individuals supporting each other in Forging our individual paths is happening.  We are Forging friendships and alliances and none of us are perfect but each of us is pushing the envelop of possibility. 

We are a gathering of individuals so we could call it G.o.I. but I would still pronounce it Joy. 

The road to freedom, individuality and power is tough and totally worth it on its own.  To get to hang out with other people also Forging their own Way, that is totally awesome and I am loving it. 

This is happening! 

(yes I referenced the three virtues as coined by Timothy Donahue, one of the founders of balg) 

You might ask where I am witnessing this gathering?  I am seeing it all across various social media platforms including but not limited to Facebook and YouTube.  On the livestreams the interactions between hosts, guests, admins and awesome individuals in chat are fun and honest.  You have to experience it for yourself or you are just going to think that I am hyping it up. 

Love and Gratitude ✨🦄✨
