Accidental Gods

If we view life as a Game between Light and Dark, where do we stand at any given moment?  Hero or Manipulator?  Altruist or Cynic? Sleepwalker, Avoider, Traditionalist?   We can each be any of these at any given moment. Knowing we have choice is what gives us the power to be different.  What do you choose? 

Gill Coombs is a facilitator, coach, peripatetic counsellor and an elder of Extinction Rebellion.  Of her three books to date, The Game is the second. In it, she outlines the powers of the Dark Four: The Dark Media, Dark State, Dark Finance, Dark Corporations - and the ways they battle the generative forces of light.
 
And in her game, we can each choose to play one of seven avatars. We might choose a different one in each moment. We might play them so close together as to be indivisible. But it is the thesis of this podcast that meta-awareness is one of the core requirements of humanity and that if we understand what's possible, we can gain agency. With Agency, we can choose to be different. If we choose to be different enough, we become different.
 
So let's play in the seven avatars and see what we'd like to become.

What is Accidental Gods ?

The old paradigm is breaking apart. The new one is still not fully shaped.

If we're going to emerge into a just, equitable - and above all regenerative - system, we need to meet the people who are already living, working, thinking and believing at the leading edge of inter-becoming transformation.
Accidental Gods exists to bring these voices to the world so that we can all step forward into a future we'd be proud to leave to the generations that come after us.
We have the choice now - we can choose to transform…or we can face the chaos of a failing system.
Our Choice. Our Chance. Our Future.
