A map to navigate the New Paradigm
This blog is a conversation between Daphne Kourkounaki and Zuzanna Vee. As part of Alethe, we are offering resources to people who want to live an authentically joyful life through learning to navigate the New Paradigm. In this conversation we are introducing a map we put together as a free resource for all Alethe subscribers.
Daphne Kourkounaki: We have entered a new phase in our evolution as humans. What we’ve known up until now is no longer helpful and one of the ways that people are being invited to understand this fact is through the portal of some sort of crisis – a process of death / rebirth. This process is unique for each of us, yet a navigation map is essential. Some of us have been preparing, having navigated a number of crises in our lives, received the gifts of these death / rebirth processes, and are now in a position to support others.
In Alethe we are here to support each other in navigating the new phase humanity has just entered. Speaking for myself, I have been feeling since I was born that things are actually not working for me. I’ve been experiencing one crisis after the other throughout all my life, consciously and unconsciously, since I was a child. In the past I’ve been experiencing these crises like a drama. Now I’m in a position where I’m no longer experiencing life as a drama. I am increasingly in touch with the joy of just being alive. I’m seeing everything I’ve experienced as a preparation for me to come to this point, and I now feel confident and excited about the future. I can also support other people to experience the joy of being alive and to feel genuinely excited about their future.
Along the path I’ve met you, Zuzanna, and we’ve been exploring things together.
Zuzanna Vee: I want to explain a little about what this map is for. A map consists of little points along the way that take you to your destination, but you may not exactly know where your destination is. We don’t know where the destination is, but we’re following the road map to take us to each step along the way.
And so there will be several points that we’ve found, sort of universally – whatever these steps might be. Because in this new paradigm, everything that we’ve grown up with, everything that we’ve been told, everything that we’ve been used to – or told that it should work – is definitely not going to work. It may not have worked for us as we were growing up; that’s for sure true for me, too. But now is the time; this is the time we’ve been waiting for; this is the time we’ve been born for. So we can share and keep sharing our experiences of what the navigation of this time frame that we’re going through – this phase of what consciousness evolution might look like.
Introducing the map
Zuzanna Vee: In our old paradigm as a Western culture, we’ve been aware of four elements: fire, earth, air, water; sometimes we have dared to include ether or some other kind of nebulous thing that nobody really knows what it is. In this new paradigm we have to include soul and spirit. Let’s begin with the material realm that includes the elements of earth, fire, air and water. Then we have the supporting energetics of that material realm which would be the etheric body.
Then we have soul and spirit that is part of and separate from these. Soul and spirit have independent lives; in other words, we have our physical body and the etheric body that are a team together and they stay together when we sleep. When we sleep the astral and ‘I’ organization body go off and do all the fun and cool stuff and when it comes back, is when we wake up. Then we try to integrate the experiences and this step hasn’t been going so very well.
Daphne Kourkounaki: Is it the integration that hasn’t been going very well?
Zuzanna Vee: Yes, look at the state of the world. We look at the state of the world and now in this new paradigm, it’s incumbent upon us to integrate. This means to recognize that there is a spirit and soul to us; to the material realm and that there are many different levels and layers of reality. Thus far, we’ve only paid attention to the material realm and since the Age of Reason, the 1400s and on, it’s gotten denser and denser. We have not been acknowledging that anything really exists unless we can measure and quantify it in some form or fashion. This has gotten us to the point where we destroy the place that sustains us; it’s madness, it’s led us to madness. So now in this new paradigm, we’re adding soul and spirit that inform, nourish and enhance our lives consciously.
You know, artists, in particular, creative people, they’re being informed by soul and spirit. Now it’s time to take this in hand.
Daphne Kourkounaki: Although artists have been struggling to integrate too; they are open to this non-material realm, but haven’t been able to bridge the two and therefore also turn to destructive behaviours.
Zuzanna Vee: Yes, they’re trying, they’re doing the best they can; the soul and spirit are doing the best they can with what they’ve got to work with. And for the majority of what they’ve got to work with, it’s pretty poor stuff. Now we are at a point where we can consciously, without being thrown into a mental asylum in many instances, start to talk about this:
The navigation of what it will look like when you incorporate more of you, and the ascension process – it is really an expansion process. We’re not moving up necessarily; there’s no hierarchy (that is old paradigm vision or visual) but we’re expanding to include more. If you think of our bandwidth of a visible light spectrum or audible spectrum of vibration or frequency, we’re expanding those into much more satisfying, exciting, adventurous areas. We’re becoming more of who we actually are; we’re not fighting it anymore. In this new paradigm, it’s kind of a basic thing: we’re not fighting to be material beings at all cost and to negate the soul and spirit and even the energy.
You know, in recent years, ‘energy’ has become more acceptable through the advent of the so-called ‘new age.’ Then the age of psychology with Jung and things like that – a lot of those things have come into our cultural narrative: the psyche, the ego, dream analysis, and various things like this; those things have become sort of common place. But there’s a whole lot more and this is what we’ve been navigating our whole lives. Now we’ve come to a point in history where it’s relevant to share it. Not only relevant to share it but of paramount importance because things are not gonna work the way they used to work; they’re not working already.
Things will not be able to work the way we’ve expected them to work. It’s just a change. It’s not a hex; it’s not a curse; it’s not negativity. It’s just that we’ve expanded into more, and so that old, small way of being is not going to work anymore. So, I see many levels of how we will be supporting people to get to grips with this map.
Daphne Kourkounaki: For me, part of my journey and experience through doing the women’s initiatory journey facilitated by Elisabeth Serra was to come into relationship with these elements – the elements in my body, the earth, the fire, the water, the air and to embody them. We are not in relationship with all this. Each of us may only be in relationship with one or two of these elements which means that they are not in balance – they are operating in distortion. For example, we can be too aggressive if we are only in relationship with the fire in our body, but not the water or earth. It is key for us to acknowledge that we are made of four elements and to discover what they feel like in our bodies – not just as understanding; but what does it feel like to experience the element of fire and what does it feel like to experience the element of air and so on.
Zuzanna Vee: Yeah, this is the first step in awareness within the material realm. It’s very, very important, and we’ve got there now. And so now we expand into the next level and layer, and that’s what we’re offering.
Daphne Kourkounaki: We’ve got there, but actually most people are not in relationship with all this.
Zuzanna Vee: Yeah, as a global culture. We’re now where it can happen and it’s time to make it happen – now it’s time to move into it, to integrate it.
Daphne Kourkounaki: Yes, it’s time to integrate it and in a way the fifth element creates this possibility. Using the artists as an example, they have access to the soul and spirit yet they haven’t been able to integrate all the other elements which leads to suffering.
So now what becomes possible is to be creative and you don’t need to suffer. And actually, what we are saying is, that it’s not just possible, it’s essential for each person to discover their inner artist – whatever ‘craft’ they choose (in the wider sense of the word).
Zuzanna Vee: Skilful creativity – to be able to do something skilfully creative; everybody has that potential within them.
Daphne kourkounaki: Exactly. And their craft is unique, because each person is unique and this is what we are examining.
Zuzanna Vee: And we’ve got much more available to us now, because of what’s going on… something’s going on – the times, they are changing. Now is the time to get with the program, realise the new paradigm is not going away and you can skilfully navigate it – you can navigate it without suffering. Being part of the new paradigm through lifetimes when that wasn’t even a term brought suffering, but we don’t need to suffer anymore in those ways. We may suffer, you know, one suffers through ignorance and that just means you don’t know the whole story. We are at a place now, historically, where we have more bandwidth available. So we want to include the material realm and to see the whole thing.
The whole thing is that the material realm is not just the material realm. There’s also the spiritual realm; it’s all one. And that’s what the old paradigm was doing – it separated off little by little: We got pissed off with the church and science took over and became the new religion. Then it was only about anything that you could measure through instrumentation, but that’s led us down a path of suffering: look at our health, our environment, all the greed, the wars we make – the list can go on.
Now we’ve got the opportunity to help and inspire each other and that’s what we’re here for: to help each other navigate this new paradigm.
So stay tuned with us for the map (which will be available soon) and so much more.
With love,
Daphne and Zuzanna
