Hella Dimensional celebrates Juneteenth and Pride through the lens of Evolution and Revolution.
What came through for me was the reminder that Revolution creates the space, while Evolution allows us what to do something with that space.
One disrupts the old narrative. The other allows us the option to grow into an entirely new reality.
When I pulled the card for today’s show, the Seven of Wands appeared. It is a card about standing your ground, protecting what matters, and refusing to surrender your experience—or allow others to define it for you.
Freedom, Identity, and Gender can show up as entirely imposed constructs. That rarely makes sense except to ones own lived experiences, current former, past and present, Liberation can also show up rather then a destination, but a lived practice—an ongoing process of expanding what is possible within ourselves, our communities, and the realities each of us experiences in profoundly different ways. While no two people will share the exact same relationship to any of these words, they resonate deeply throughout this show.
As we evolve through the revolutionary act of simply existing, we carry forward the visions of those who imagined something beyond what they inherited. So we can create our own experience through our existence.
Tonight’s card may serve as a reminder that infinite realities can exist simultaneously, and that there are always Hella Dimensions through which to experience the world. And Empathy as a way to honor others realities and lived experiences is always how this Femme chooses to look through the kaleidoscope Loverz.
When Love and purpose is present, Chaos is less likely to arise.
Take Whatcha Want, & Leave Whatcha Don’t Babes,
Stay golden, Loverz.
XOXO,
Chesty Gillespie
