What are Futurewriting Technologies?
This podcast was originally shared inside of the Futurewriting Collective as a private podcast episode. Enjoy.
I think it's kind of wild and amazing how intelligent, how magical, how mystical humans are. How creative we are. How much imagination we have available to us. And how, inside of Western culture, we have been conditioned since we were five years old to give our imagination and our creative power over to the machine.
We've been told this is the right thing to do. This is the right way to live. You need to prepare yourself to be a contributing member of society. That to be an adult is to be prepared to contribute a job description to some kind of corporate agenda. That that's where you're going to find your power, your life force—giving your power, your voice, your time, your energy, your imagination away to the regime.
But what if there's another way?
Technologies That Shape the Future
Futurewriting technologies are technologies that shape the future. And the reason we're using this term iis because we never assume that we have THE answer or THE solution to your problem or the one right path.
We do offer a non-denominational process that is rooted in ecosomatics, subconscious repatterning, and creative visualization, but there is also power and beauty to be found in multiplicity and the multitude of technologies and tools that we have in front of us. All of them work in their own way.
Futurewriting, in particular, is any kind of future-shaping technology that calls us to descend into the void of our subconscious—the layer of our mind that holds all of the constructs and the stories about the way things are and who we are and what we get to be. It calls us to descend into that place and examine those templates.
These are what we call myths—the core essential stories that construct our conscious reality. When we examine those core central stories, we begin to change the stories that are no longer serving the futures that we long to exist inside of.
The Process: Descend, Examine, Change, Ascend
Futurewriting calls us to:
Descend into the subconscious void where our deepest constructs live Examine those core stories and myths that are shaping our reality Change the templates that no longer serve the futures we're calling in and to Ascend into the new identity and expression that wants to emerge
This is what I call inner gardening work—taking these old stories and replacing them with new ones, then ascending into that new identity, embodying a new self-concept that allows you to live into a new reality and consciously shape the world around you.
We Are Always Manifesting
Here's the truth: because of how we are set up, how the subconscious is set up, we are always, always manifesting reality. Regardless of whether you believe in manifestation or not, your subconscious is always creating the circumstances to affirm the subconscious beliefs and constructs that are living inside of you.
So if you want to start seeing a different reality—a different personal reality in particular—you've got to change your subconscious stories about what you believe is true or possible for you.
A Personal Example: Breaking Generational Templates
One of the big subconscious stories that I had to shift and change in order to live the life I currently live, in order to climb my way out of poverty, to leave a cult environment, was that I had to believe that I, as a woman, was worthy of having an education.
I don't have a middle school or high school education. I had to change that subconscious template that I was coded with. It was my whole reality, my whole world. I didn't know any different.
I had to give myself a new story—a story that says, "Oh no, I get to have an education. I get to have a life that is loving. I get to have relationships where I am cherished and I'm not just a workhorse for my religion. I get to have a story of my life that feels good to exist inside of."
And so I had to go in and change the subconscious template. Did I go to therapy? Absolutely. But did they invite me to do this work? No. In fact, my experience of therapy at that time started to reinforce some of the subconscious stories and myths that I grew up inside.
Technologies You Already Know
The beautiful thing about futurewriting technologies is that you probably already have relationship to many of them. Things like prayer and intercession, integral somatics, spiritual law, plant ceremonies—all of these are futurewriting technologies, and so many more.
You probably have futurewriting technologies in your own arsenal that you are not even aware of. The role of this work is to help you recognize that and reclaim your power in creating reality for yourself.
Making Something Out of Anything
I love what Alexis Pulling Gum has to say about technology itself and why we use this term. She says technology is the brilliance of making something out of anything, of making what we need out of what we have.
So it's not about rejecting who we once were, but about saying thank you for showing me everything that life can be. It's time to transform. It's time to change and evolve and allow myself to become a new version of who I am so that I can live into the futures that I see, so that I can live into the futures that I know are possible for me and my kin.
The Invitation
You came here with magic inside of you that has been systematically suppressed and redirected toward systems that don't serve your highest good or the earth's highest good. Futurewriting technologies are your way back to your own power, your own voice, your own ability to craft the reality you're here to live.
This is about engaging your power to manifest responsibly and consciously. This is about remembering that you have more inside of you to offer than you could ever give to some corporate position. You have futures to write, realities to shift, and a world that needs exactly what you came here to create.
The question is: Are you ready to reclaim the technologies that are already yours?
