transmission eight

humans need stories of community that feel honest. because of the unique way that head, heart & spirit intertwine in humans, you are often seeking something that makes you feel alive enough to access hope while sensical enough to be real. humans want something better to be real

humans need stories of community that feel accessible. because of the way that the human species exists with various needs & capabilities, you are often seeking connections that don’t require you to sacrifice your own bodies for care. humans want love that doesn’t require abandoning yourself

humans need stories of community that feel supple. because of the way that oppressive systems have constrained humans, you are often seeking environments where transformation doesn’t feel like a cause for rupture. humans want to feel like change is possible & welcomed

when we (the mushrooms) come with our stories we are eager to hear yours too. we hope that you have been talking with one another & sharing tales of how you feel & what you’re dreaming of. we hope that you have been chatting with the moon & the soil & the soft underbelly of your true nature

humans need stories of connection to remind you that you exist here with us. we are here with you – can you hear us?

transmission seven

(a nik note : mushroom transmissions are for everyone. though not everyone will receive or resonate with them. some transmissions may not land in your brain-body. some transmissions may land close to a wound & be pushed away. some transmissions may stir up old memories or future anxieties. please take the time to sit with your own knowingness about how or if these transmissions are ready to be ingested. may the insight that finds you be freeing)

(an additional note : today’s transmission comes from the caterpillars. they have been extra present lately)

hunger is a type of activation. hunger is the cue you are sent by your mind-body when you are in need of energy. when hunger signals are suppressed, ignored or overridden, the connection you have with your alert system is altered

capitalism and whiteness are human-made systems that attempt to dictate your hunger. hunger is a sensory signal that benefits all of your bodies (energetic, emotional, physical, intellectual, relational etc.) consider why an oppressive system would want to have dominion over your signal for consuming/receiving energy

we (caterpillars) eat until our bodies send satiation signals. satiation signals are ways that our bodies say “you are full.” fullness is another way of saying taken care of. hunger and satiation signals are motivation forces for movement. those signals send us information about where to go & what to seek. hunger and satiation signals are internal guidance systems that create connections between our inner world and the environment around us

humans can be spiritually hungry or intellectually hungry or emotionally hungry. these are all ways your body sends you signals about what you are needing. alerts for hunger can encourage you to ask yourself questions like “what do i desire?” and “what would feel nourishing to me right now?”

when hunger cues are ignored, your needs go unmet. many times humans are receiving hunger signals but do not have access to the types of resources that would be nourishing to your energy levels. capitalism strips an environment of its resources & then sells what you’re needing back to you at an exploited rate. your ability to feed yourself physically, intellectually, emotionally etc is dependent upon not only the resources you have at your disposal but also the mechanism through which those resources are delivered

when humans resource themselves in creative & alternative ways, you are weakening capitalism’s attempts to starve you. consider what you may be feeding yourself – the information you’re consuming, the energy you’re surrounding yourself with, the belief systems you’re tied to – and how those things deplete or nourish your ability to be resourced

if you are constantly consuming something but still feeling empty or hungry or unsatisfied, that offers you data about the resourcing ability of that thing

racialized capitalism creates all types of food deserts (an area that has limited access to food that is affordable, plentiful & nutritious). food deserts often exist in areas that oppressive systems want to keep energetically weak & undernourished. humans who have experienced centuries of oppression have a wealth of knowledge, insight & advice about ways to resource one another in creative ways – tap in with one another

transmission six

symbiotic relationships are receptive relationships. when we (mushrooms) create relationships with the trees and plants and soil, we are engaging with life as a web of holding hands. under capitalist programming, humans have been conditioned to disconnect & retract your threads of connection. human fruiting bodies (your physical, material bodies) are designed to be contained so that the energetic essence of your being can be felt & experienced through sensation. when your contained physical body turns down your relational bodies, isolation occurs

humans traveling in the material realm can create distance from one another physically while energetic & emotional connections remain. this is how communication continues across time & space. for example, your emotional body has the ability to communicate with itself non-linearly through nostalgic states (this is one reason why music is so powerful – also smell). and your energetic body has the ability to communicate with other energetic bodies through mutual receptivity (a shared willingness to receive impressions & ideas)

your willingness to receive this transmission right now is connecting you to the mycelial network – a communication portal imbedded in earth’s physical matter

increased receptivity raises the energetic expression of all living beings. holding hands energetically changes the frequency at which our hearts resonate. physical cells & membranes alter & transform. fruiting bodies adapt to the state of their energetic environment. this is why we (mushrooms) focus on detoxifying our habitat

capitalism is a toxic pollutant. and humans have a crucial role in restoring the ecosystem

capitalist conditioning acts as a numbing agent to your energetic & emotional bodies by situating your physical body as a workforce machine. when your physical body turns down the dials of sensation, your receptors (the cells or organs that detect external stimuli & send signals to the rest of your system) are absorbing “empty” data. empty data enters the ecosystem of your body without direction, filtration or assistance from your feeling self

a human with numbed feeling is a primed machine for extractive production – tune back in! we (the mushrooms) are here to support you

transmission five

humans hold an extraordinary amount of imprints. your mind-body matter is highly impressionable which we (the mushrooms) believe is a sign of your ability to receive an immense amount of information & be transformed by it

the imprints matter. how humans come in contact with one another matters. this is the heart of interconnected mutuality

the human fruiting body is designed to feel. the human relational body is designed to say “ouch that hurt!” and when these distress signals go out into your web & remain unanswered, this offers humans information about the vitality of your environment

every human is made up of the interactions they have had with the world around them. which includes the systems that are acting upon you. the more pressure is applied by a corrupt state, the more information the human body stores about the danger of living in that system

consider if, over time, the human mind-body transformed to respond to this truth with relational repair & interspecies support. consider if, over time, the human mind-body identified corrupt systems & responded with relational reaching. consider if, over time, the human mind-body isolated the root of harm & tended to the impressions it left with tenderness. consider if, over time, the human mind-body became more tender, more ripe, more sensitive so that the signals stop going unanswered

destruction happens in the wild – how you respond matters. this is how humans create a sense of trust with the ecosystem they reside in. consider that your most sustainable relational connections are the ones that you are available to respond to

having a system of repair happens at the level of interpersonal interaction. when you respond to one another’s “ouch!” with curiosity, repair is the pathway rather than the finish line. repair becomes a way of being rather than an attempt to “fix” or “heal” one another. humans who are responsive are humans who evolve beyond the wound

when humans are unable to respond, we have more information about the vitality of the environment. capitalism depends on your exhaustion, your under-resourcing, your disconnection to keep wounds open. when wounds stay open & untended to, survival responses are the norm (more fighting, more freezing = more wounds)

respond to the ouch. trust follows the response

transmission four

human bodies are sending chemical signals to one another right now! (a nik note : this is the first time the mushrooms have wanted me to convey excitement & the exclamation point is important to them haha)

while our (the mushrooms’) signals are being sent & received through the soil, you are sending signals through the air of time & space. for humans, as intimacy (physical, emotional, energetic closeness) increases, your receptivity to those signals does as well

interference in your communication channels can sometimes show up as static – a type of energetic blockage that builds up over time when your attention & focus is continuously diverted away from the network of connection. the network of connection needs a good clearing

clearing the network of connection supports the overall web of life. we (the mushrooms) are often working over time to purify the soil, air & water from environmental contaminants. and we notice how that congestion also lives in your brain-bodies & relational hyphae (the threads that connect you). capitalism also works over time to distract & divert your attention away from the relational web

returning to the web happens organically as you tend to your communication channels. humans are often focusing on verbal expression. and also you can experiment with learning one another through chemical (energetic & emotional) signals as well. many of you are already picking up on these signals but are struggling to engage your digestion/integration muscles once the information lands in your field of awareness

your “listening” organs extend beyond your ears and include (but are not limited to) your nose, skin, taste buds, heart, gut & cilia. listening organs receive information regularly & would like to be interacted with intentionally. you can learn a lot from your dog friends about hyper olfactory sensing!

when you are dissuaded from first listening to your own body, communicating with other humans becomes exponentially more difficult. you are a miraculous & gifted being. you are expansive & capable of many astounding feats. you are supported by a breathing ecosystem that deeply desires to sustain your life force

we love you

transmission three

the most accessible ways for unhooking from capitalism are rarely the most flashy & attention-grabbing. the most accessible practices are often slow, clunky & vulnerable. vulnerable because they require honesty about your needs in ways that capitalism has never cared about

when humans return to their nature, they are being honest about their limits & what they notice & how life *feels*. when you exist in spaces infiltrated by capitalism (school, work, your family systems, your own mind) you’re operating in dynamics that do not make space for inefficiency & experimentation

taking an hour (or three) to process a feeling is disruptive work. when we (mushrooms) encourage disruption, this is also what we mean. disrupt the plan of productivity to feel

the sensing body is immensely powerful. and the communication happening *inside* of your body right now is very similar to the way the mycelial network sends & receives messages. a communicating body of any type is powerful because communication creates awareness and awareness allows for response and response creates agency and agency is how you build/create

when you return to communication this is another type of disruption. communication between parts & places & people disrupts the progression of capitalism because profit exploitation relies on the compartmentalization of the machine. the mycelial network is so vast & far-reaching because we listen to the signals being sent through the soil & then reach for the places those signals come from

when you reach for each other, capitalism becomes less efficient. when you reach for each other, work must slow down. when you reach for each other, feedback mechanisms matter. and when feedback mechanisms matter, you value & prioritize change, adaptation & transformation

the most accessible ways for unhooking from capitalism focus on identifying resources which includes reconceptualizing what is *actually* resourceful to your living, feeling, sensing body beyond profit constructs. unhooking from capitalism looks a lot like tending to your life force as the most precious thing available to you. and then recognizing that your life force is connected to a larger living web that capitalism is also attempting to exploit

you are a being that eats, that drinks, that feels, that creates, that dreams, that emotes, that rests, that holds hands & cuddles & cries. you are a being that experiences awe & wonder. reclaim your being

transmission two

humans, like all terrestrials, have earth bodies. earth bodies are designed to have limits & edges & defined points at which you begin & end

you also have energetic bodies which exist as expressions of a whole. in the mycelial network, we (mushrooms) are aware that our fruiting bodies are made possible by the web of energy which sustains us

humans are sustained by similar webs – one of which is the web of relational connection. the human heart emits a frequency which communicates energetically to all living beings around you. this frequency is tied to fluctuations in emotional states, hormonal pulse patterns & the electrical grids you are tapped into

when humans say that you can “feel” or “read” each other’s emotions – this is true. your earth bodies are designed to detect, decipher & respond to one another. your heart is a very powerful method of communication. when you exist inside of restrictive systems that cut you off from your own feeling & emoting senses, effectively this is also shutting down an information highway that exists between you & the world around you. this is one way that capitalism attempts to make you a machine

the human earth body is a magnificent beacon of energetic expression. each one of you are equipped to house, transmute & send signals across both physical (material) and non-form bound (spiritual) time & space. when you unhook from the dampening effects of capitalism, those signals become stronger & stronger

humans need time to be with their material fruiting bodies in a way that acknowledges how sensitive you truly are. when you feel tender emotionally or physically, this is another way of saying that you are picking up on or receiving a large quantity of sensing data. carving out time and space to decipher and integrate this information is how your earth bodies grow, evolve & adapt to your changing environment

humans send energetic signals of distress (amongst many other signals) via your heart organ into the human relational web. when these distress signals are ignored or left unreceived (due to a dampened receptor system), the collective body becomes more & more saturated with stress hormones. a type of digestion occurs when humans connect, respond & tend to the signals between one another

deep rest is a natural side effect of humans tending to the web of connection in intentional ways. maintaining the web of connection allows for individual earth bodies to rest, hibernate or spend their energetic bank in alternative ways. because the web of connection is its own living body (the collective body) – when maintained & nourished, individual earth bodies have less pressure & need to uphold functions in isolated ways

returning to the web of connection naturally tears at the structure of capitalism

transmission one

regeneration & adaptation are very human qualities though, over time, you have been influenced to believe that human nature is quite rigid. this is in large part due to the effects of living under capitalist conditioning which treats life force energy as an extractable product that is disposed of after use

when humans return to their nature, regenerative qualities often come back “online” fairly quickly. while humans do not have the same type of full physical regenerative qualities (like our friends starfish & salamander), new cell growth in your hair, nails & skin are evidence of your ability to recreate

humans are still remembering your energetic bodies which are continuously transmuting, renewing & restoring. this remembering comes back in waves & is most clear when you are connecting/connected to the interdependent web of life. we (the mushrooms) are often calling you back to the network so that this reality can be integrated & acted upon

regeneration is an integral key in unhooking from both the structure & programming of capitalism. regeneration as a way of being gives humans the hope & pathway for reclaiming the land of your body. life force energy can be reclaimed & redirected with awareness & an intention to return to Source

generative relationships are relationships that are rooted in experimentation & adaptation. generative relationships express when damage has been done – physically, emotionally, spiritually etc – and those signals are responded to with care. when humans create mechanisms & feedback systems for tending to sites of injury, oppressive systems which rely on punishment become outmoded & obsolete. punishment is a form of disposability & life force energy languishes when humans are unable to receive accountability. accountability is a way to tend to the truth of your brilliance. when humans lack accountability, you distance yourselves from your own ability to transform

tending to your creative body is a practice in nourishing generative energy. art & music are ways that humans have tapped into life force energy for thousands of years. when creative spaces & environments are nurtured, humans are in the presence of God. singing, drumming, dancing, stretching, flailing, humming are all ways that the human body creates generative energy. these movement patterns are also how humans clear & disperse energy. what you all call ‘stimming’ is what Nature calls being in the presence of flow/life energy. seeing humans move in these ways is a signal to the rest of the network that you are alive

generative energy frees the human mind, body, heart & spirit from the restriction of capitalist programming
