I'm Jocelyn K. Gly, and this is Hurry Slowly, a podcast about personal and

and collective transformation. We've been exploring themes of coming home all season long,

and today I want to explore the idea of coming home to creative connection,

to a state of receptivity, where we are open to the multiplicity of ways in which creative knowing

and insight might flow into us. But before I'd have ended today's episode, I want to let you know

that I have a new course called Channel, which opens for registration today. Channel is an

eight-week course about connecting to your creative life force in a new way, one that empowers you to tune into

inspiration, drop into flow, and manifest your creative vision with ease. I'll be talking more

about it at the end of this episode. But if you're running short for time or you're just so very

excited, you can check it out now at channel-h-course.com. That's C-H-A-N-N-E-L-Course.com.

Okay. So back to pulling on this thread of receptivity and what that has to do with coming home to deeper creative connection.

Lately I've been reflecting on different ways of knowing and specifically how our hyper rational capitalistic way of understanding the

world cuts us off from vast stores of knowledge and awareness. So to break that down a little bit,

I believe that by simply existing within the dominant

culture, we learn to orient towards two concepts, intellect and extraction.

We learn to privilege the intellect, the mind, the brain as the most important way to process and understand the world around us,

really to the detriment of probably pretty much all other modes of understanding,

be they emotional, somatic, intuitive, or spiritual.

We also learn to adopt extraction as our default mode for obtaining the things that we require to meet our needs.

And because of their omnipresence within the cultural dialogue, these two concepts, intellect and extraction, get braided into the way that we think about everything.

So that's what I want to talk about in this episode with a particular emphasis on how those

values impact the way that we relate to our own insight and intuition.
