A few months ago, I hosted a retreat called Wild Freedom at Kumankaya Healing Center in the jungles of Mexico…
In one of the group sessions, I invited everyone present to write a short note or letter to humanity and future generations.
I said something like, “If you had an opportunity to give one message to all of humanity and all future generations, what would it be?”
The messages that came forth were truly beautiful and touched my heart.
Here are 8 of them.
The one I wrote is at the end.
8 Messages to Humanity From 8 Beautiful Souls
“Dear future generations,
I hope you are able to appreciate the beauty and mystery that is life. I know life can be hard in many ways, and when things are difficult, I hope you can find an unshakeable trust within your Heart.
In many ways I am sure we will be very different—our attitudes, opinions, lifestyles—and yet in our humanity we are very much the same. There is a place within us beyond time and there we are forever connected.
May you open to love, laughter, freedom, and joy. May your hearts be an anchor in all that life offers.
We love you.”
— Jacob Sivyer
“Everything happens in relation. You are a shining thread in the tapestry of life—you couldn’t be separated if you wanted to.
How does a thread weave its way in the tapestry? Is it ever possible to rise above, to see the tapestry from the perspective of the Divine, and to see your place in it?
Sometimes we are graced a glimpse of this view—flashes of deep understanding amidst an experience otherwise chaotic, colorful, and flowing—like being in traffic in Manhattan compared to seeing traffic lights as arteries of the city as you fly over.
But there is evidence that we are meant to be exactly who we are exactly where we are. You’ll find it in the warmth of a new, heartfelt connection with another human. You’ll find it in the joy of doing something you love so much that time, space, and even you fall away.
Seek these evidences as much as you can, and choose to trust. Open up, enjoy it all, and spread the love.”

“Children of the light, your time has come. Drums in the deep, frolicking, play & feast. The end of the paradigms of scarcity draws near. Ethereal kingdoms are breaking through. Your flesh is sacred. You were sent here to restore the whole of creation. Set aside your collective rumination, open the channels of the body. Know that it is all within you, as you are within all of it. The kingdom of heaven is your birthright, its alchemy your mission. All things shall be made soft clay in the hands of the creator. All kinks shall be un-kinked. Every nook & cranny illuminated. In the dark and filth you shall find it. The one beyond measure that awaits your highest pleasure.”
“Love is the answer.
Give yourself grace.
The only limitation you have is your mind.
Love yourself for the good, the bad, and the ugly
and everything else will fall into place.Ripples of fear and destruction only hold the
power you feed them.Your thoughts create your reality.
Make them and it good.”
— Juliana Carmack
“Your true essence is in your creative expression
You are a radiant powerful light
Never conform to constructs
Be in your heart always
Eagle vision, wing tip to wing tip
See with the eyes of the heart
What is your womb telling you
Align to that place. Share your gifts.
Sacral, heart, throat
Orange, green, blue
Wisdom, Love, TruthGratitude for all that is
The breath you take, the pain you may feel
The joy you experience,
The beauty you witness
Be witness and present with it all
Trust in the intelligence of your body
All that you are in need of is within
Imagining
Writing
Desire
Ask
Receive
And all is given.”
“We are sparks of divinity
The formless universe experiencing itself in human form
We are one with the cosmos
We are one and the same as Earth
No separation, each individual as part of the whole and whole in itself
There is only ever this moment
Now is all there ever is
Love is the greatest force
You are a Being of love and have the choice to use it to benefit all
Tap into your infinite love to connect with everything around us
Know and trust your power to do good”
“There are three kinds of things in the world - true, useful, and neither. Most things fall into the third category.”
“I Love You. You are Beautiful. Thank you for being you.
Love is the answer. Love heals all wounds. Love is the original and final medicine. Love is Home. And Love returns all things Home.
Trust in the Love you feel in your Heart of Hearts. That Love is Home. This Love is who you are. It is what Life is made of, in its essence. This Love is what some call God.
You can trust this Love at the Heart of Life.
The more you give your Life over to this Love, the more you will come to know the Truth of what we are, and Miracles will become your reality.
It won’t always be easy. Try to embrace the pain. It too is a great teacher and a part of the Poetry.
All is well. Trust. You are Loved beyond measure. Heaven is your birthright. You are perfect just as you are. You always have been and always will be. You’re beautiful. I love you.”
— Jordan Bates

I appreciate you.
Thank you for walking the path.
It’s safe to trust life.
Safe to embrace the moment exactly as it appears.
With Love,
JB
