Storyteller Consciousness is (1) the conscious awareness that the stories we tell create the reality we see, (2) presence in the acknowledgment that we are the authors of our own stories, (3) and attunement to the ocean of being in which we are embedded.
As we use the storyteller consciousness, we begin to disbelieve in our labels, categories, and other abstractions as we come into contact with this human reality. Science, technology, politics, and government are all themselves stories. America is a story. France is a story. The law is a story. Words and symbols, that is all, they each have no more meaning than what we agree upon.
Our mistake has been not in telling stories, only in thinking they are real. When we let go of that, we are able to play with them consciously and let them go when they no longer serve us.
Instead of the present demarcation between drama and real life, 📝future society will consist of stories within stories within stories, plays within plays within plays without any sense that one is "for real" and one is not. Life will be all 📝play, and all play will be in earnest.
This, 📝Charles Eisenstein says, will be the eventual fulfillment of the 📝Age of Reunion; a time when we come into full, conscious 📝co-creative partnership with the 📝universe itself.
We explored this from our perspective in 📝The Storyteller Consciousness (newsletter).
Reflections
"Memory and fiction share the same origin, and it's necessary to create memory in a very similar fashion as fiction in order to see it at all." –Karl Ove Knausgård
