I feel therefore I am

My lived experience tells me Descartes was wrong #ifeelthereforeiam

Also that in the beginning wasn't the word (Logos) there was intuition (Eros)

Time to move on from the old men's tales. Imagine what the world & humanity might have been like if we hadn't believed them in the first place.

I feel, therefore I am & shine a light on the epistemic injustice that so many multiply Neurodivergent women, like myself, face.

Epistemic injustice is a type of harm that affects someone in their role as a knower or communicator of knowledge, including when explaining their own experiences.

This kind of injustice often takes place when listeners diminish what is being communicated due to the listener’s (often unconscious) prejudices against the person communicating.

Those of us who feel deeply; who experience deep emotional & somatic empathy, intuitive & psychic insights, & hyper sensitivity to the world - our ways of knowing, feeling & being are too often diminished, misunderstood & excluded from knowledge-making spaces.
​
Our knowledge, however, is both valid & legitimate wisdom for humanity.

The simplicity of what I stand for is this:
✨ Depathologising & rehumanising those of us who feel deeply.
✨ Honouring embodied life, love, joy, connection, & spiritual wellbeing.
✨ Holding space for meaning, purpose & true belonging.

Those of us who are aligned to this path, whose bodyminds are Neurodivergent, we don’t fit, serve or benefit from colonial-capitalist agendas.

What we are can’t be monetised: empathy, vision, creativity, emotional truth & depth.

And whilst they might still want our energy, they don't want to pay and our love & warmth, they don't want to do the inner work themselves to reciprocate & catalyse systems wide change.

We are excluded & dehumanised, infantilised & pathologised, deliberately misunderstood — in healthcare, education, work — in our families & unfortunately sometimes even our communities.
Told we're too much, or not enough. Idealists. Immature. Unmeasurable.

But what we offer could transform everything for everyone.

This year, I stopped hiding.
To mute my essence was self-erasure & a perpetuation of the moral injury & harm the systems had done to me, & others like me.

Now I’m endeavouring to bridge worlds — introducing system logic to soul embodied truth. Standing at the chaotic centre where the trauma vortex & healing vortex collide.

Let’s see what happens when deep-feelers resource, unite & build enough capacity to withstand humanity's mass indoctrination & dissociation, stop conforming, assemble & become visible, expressing & creating from our wholeness within the systems themselves.
