We are all held accountable for our choices, behaviours, and actions in this life—spiritual beings experiencing a very human world. Lately, I’ve felt that this accountability is beginning to ripple outward, reaching even those in positions of power. With the constant stream of fake news, conflicting narratives, and real-life horror stories in our feeds, it’s becoming harder to discern what is truly happening around us. The only way I recognise truth these days is by turning inward and trusting my intuition.
As I wrote that last sentence, I almost replaced intuition with gut instinct. But they are not the same. Gut instinct carries an echo of trauma for me—those surges of adrenaline, the primal survival mechanisms our bodies developed to keep us alive. Intuition is different. Intuition is the quiet inner voice, the gentle knowing that sits beneath the noise. It speaks from love, not fear.
Unfortunately, collectively, we’ve become players in a global game of superpowers. Each country, state, city, town, and community plays its part. We watch the egos, the power struggles, the conflicts. We witness leaders making decisions from fear, from separation, from the absence of that inner knowing.
Political narratives across the world seem stuck in old, outdated paradigms:
“My killing machine is bigger than yours, therefore I am more powerful.”
Why?
Are these people so disconnected from heart, intuition, or consciousness that they can no longer feel the weight of their choices?
You see, true intuition—our inner knowing—is rooted in love and wisdom. It would never guide us toward harm. Gut instinct, however, runs on adrenaline. We must learn to tell the difference. Are our leaders acting from that pure inner knowing… or from the dinosaur brain that still believes the world is kill-or-be-killed? We all know the answer. And we are long overdue for accountability, compassion, and positive change.
Creative industries often hold up a mirror to our collective psyche. Through books and films, we see where we are heading and the lessons we’ve ignored. Stories tend to follow a familiar pattern: a beginning, a rise, a climax, and a resolution. But lately, I find myself drawn to true stories or fictional narratives grounded in lived experience. And what I notice is the sheer level of violence, the lack of remorse, the endless shoot-them-that-will-fix-it mentality.
In a movie, perhaps the final act ties everything up neatly. The villain is eliminated, the hero can finally heal, and peace is restored. It’s a satisfying conclusion… for entertainment.
But in real life?
Human beings don’t get sequels like that.
Yet I still believe in our capacity to choose love, to trust one another, to move beyond trauma responses and fear. We always have a choice.
I believe that spiritually accountable living is not only possible but inevitable. Whether it takes many lifetimes or we shift overnight, there will come a tipping point—when enough people choose to shine a light so bright that others feel safe enough to follow. If the saying “What you focus on grows” is true (and I believe it is), then perhaps it’s time to stop feeding our fears and start nurturing love, trust, and genuine connection.
To hear your intuition, you must create space. A busy life creates a busy mind, and a busy mind creates more busyness—an endless hamster wheel. But there are always small pauses: tiny windows of stillness, moments in nature, pockets of quiet where your inner voice can rise to the surface. When you find yourself in one of those spaces, linger. Soften. Listen.
We could turn it all around in this lifetime.
Imagine that!
